Consumer Description

WHEN HITTING A BUMP BETWEEN 50 TO 60MPH, THE TRUCK FRONT END STARTED BOUNCING WILDLY AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES MILES ON THE VEHICLE WAS BETWEEN 27,000 AND 30,000. FORD DEALER DESCRIBED THIS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE", LITERALLY. WAS FIXED BY REPLACING STEERING DAMPER. THIS EVENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS.
