Consumer Description

EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE' SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS (BETWEEN 65-75 MPH). THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES - ONCE WHILE PULLING A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENT. DEALER INSTALLED BAR TO ADDRESS ISSUE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. TODAY, I EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN - 5 TIMES IN A MATTER OF 60 MILES - AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN GOING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS ON BRIDGES. THIS IS ONLY STOPPED WHEN SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY ON HIGHWAY - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BASED ON THE VERY SIMILAR AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE MAKES ME THINK A CLASS ACTION IS WARRANTED AND NEEDS TO BE PURSUED - SINCE IT SEEMS THERE AREN'T APPROPRIATE STEPS BEING TO CORRECT THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. THE CORRECTIVE STEPS FORD HAS DEALERS PERFORMING AREN'T WORKING AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR
