Consumer Description

LOCAL HIGHWAY DRIVING THE TRUCK SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS TO A NEAR STOP. THE SHAKE WILL ALSO OCCUR WHEN HITTING A POT HOLE, GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS OR BRAKING. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE OCCURRED AT 17,000 MILES AND HAS SINCE CONTINUED TO A CURRENT 26,000 MILES. AFTER TAKING TO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT SEVERAL TRUCKS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME AND THE PART(S) WERE ON BACK ORDER. AFTER APPROX. 30 DAYS, THE DAMPNER CAME IN, HOWEVER, THE DEFECT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. RETURNED TO FORD SERVICE AND HAD A TIRE ALIGNMENT DONE. TO NO AVAIL, THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS DEFECT AND FOUND THE FORD COMMUNITY IS CALLING THIS OCCURRENCE AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".
