Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM START IN 12/2018. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE. THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IS TO SLOW DOWN AND PULLOVER IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND STOP. THIS OPTION IS SOMETIMES NOT AVAILABLE AND THE SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AFTER SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED MANY, MANY TIMES. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF. MULITPLE PEOPLE HAVE REFERRED TO IT AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AS RECENTLY AS THE PAST WEEK I WAS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ON MONDAY, AUG 26TH PICKED UP TUESDAY, AUG 27TH, DROVE OFF THE LOT, GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEEL SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE SPENT $5,758.87 IN REPAIRS SINCE DECEMBER AND PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. TRIED DOWNLOADING RECEIPTS, DO NOT THINK I WAS ABLE TO DOWNLOAD OFF OF THEM
