Consumer Description
WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MILE AN HOUR THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO DOING A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN CROSSING UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR HITTING BUMPS. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT BECOMES HARD TO CONTROL AND HAS TO COME TO A STOP TO REGAIN FULL CONTROL. I HAVE THIS NICE TRUCK THAT I HAVE TO AVOID INTERSTATE TRAVEL BECAUSE OF FEAR OF HURTING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE HAD BEARINGS AND TRACK BAR REPLACED, HAD TRUCK REALIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO LUCK. I'M GETTING READY TO PURCHASE A STEERING STABILIZER TO TRY BUT I'M RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS AND MONEY TO SINK IN TRUCK BUT IT HAS TO BE FIXED. AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY CHARGE PREMIUM PRICES FOR THEIR PRODUCTS BUT MINE HAS TO SET AT THE HOUSE OR TRAVEL BACK ROADS TO STAY SAFE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
