Consumer Description

THREE CRACKS DEVELOPED IN THE ALUMINUM CAB AROUND THREE DIFFERENT DOORS ALL IN SIMILAR AREAS (SHARP 90 DEGREE BENDS). TRUCK HAS 13.5K MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. ALL CRACKS APPEARED AFTER IT EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE'. GUESSING THE VIOLENT SHAKING IT EXPERIENCED IS THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THESE CRACKS. OF COURSE FORD DOESN'T WANT TO BUY IT BACK AND WILL REPAIR THESE CRACKS. NO WAY TO TELL WHAT OTHER DAMAGE OCCURRED BEHIND ANY PANELS OR WELDS. DEATH WOBBLE IN THESE TRUCKS NEEDS TO BE ENGINEERED OUT. NOT ONLY DID IT ALMOST PUSH US INTO A WALL ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT OCCURRED BUT IT INDUCED CRACKS INTO THE CAB. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $63K TRUCK THAT MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO RIDE IN AND I'M CONCERNED STRUCTURALLY WAS COMPROMISED.
