Consumer Description

TRUCK IS VIBRATING AND WOBBLING WHILE DRIVING. ISSUE IS CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD EASILY RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD AND THEY HAD US TAKE IT IN ON 01/19/2020 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. EVIDENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK AND IS UNDER RECALL. THE TRUCK WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BUT THE VIBRATION AND WOBBLING HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY 01/28/2020 WHICH WAS SERIOUSLY SCARY. THE DRIVER HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. I CALLED FORD TODAY TO HAVE THE TRUCK TAKEN IN TOMORROW BUT I AM CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT MANY OTHERS ARE STATING THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT GETTING REPAIRED PROPERLY AND THE ISSUE KEEPS OCCURRING AFTER REPAIR HAS TAKEN PLACE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED THIS TIME. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
