Consumer Description

WHILE ON VACATION TOWING MY 31' 10,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER AT 60 MPH HEADING NORTH ON HWY 89 ARIZONA IN EARLY MAY 2019 I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SCARY WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE VEHICLE IN WHICH I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AND SLOW DOWN TO 33 MPH TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. WE WERE HALF WAY THROUGH OUR TRIP SO I KEPT THE SPEED AT 55 MPH OR LOWER TO GET HOME. I SINCE THEN RESEARCHED AND FOUND A FORD TSB CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR A POSSIBLE REPAIR YET AS WE ONLY USE IT TO TOW WITH.
