Consumer Description

WHEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY ABOVE 60 MPH THE VEHICLE CAN DEVELOP A VIOLENT FRONT END SHIMMY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP, POTHOLE, OR BRIDGE TRANSITION. UPON RESEARCH, THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A FORD SUPERDUTY DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER ALREADY TWICE, AND SO FAR AFTER SPENDING $855 AND NOW THEY ARE ASKING FOR $670 MORE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE WILL BE RESOLVED. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND I AM VERY WORRIED WITH MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE CARS AROUND ME WHEN THIS VIBRATION OCCURS. THE ONLY TO REGAIN CONTROL, IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW TO ~ 40MPH. THIS IN ITSELF IS DANGEROUS IN 5 LANE CITY TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] AS PROOF THAT THIS REPORT HAS BEEN VIEWED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
