Consumer Description

IF YOU GO OVER 60 MPH AND HIT A BUMP OR SOMETIMES DON'T EVEN HAVE TO HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES OUT OF CONTROL. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW ABOUT IT AS THERE IS A NICK NAME "THE DEATH WOBBLE" FOR IT. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY CLOSE TO $800 TO REPAIR IT WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT AND HAS TRIED TO CONCEAL. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT STARTED IN CALIFORNIA. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL THERE F250 AND F350'S TO DO THE REPAIRS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAY ITS OK JUST DON'T DRIVE OVER 60 MPH. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS
