Consumer Description
2 WEEKS AGO I GOT THE TERRIBLE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND ALMOST WRECKED THE TRUCK AS WELL AS ME ALMOST HAVING A HEART ATTACK . I WAS GOING 60 MPH (SPEED LIMIT IS 65) ON A DUAL LANE HIGHWAY AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AND HIT THE BRAKES MAKING IT 10 TIMES WORSE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND IT SEEMED TO BE OK. HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC FRIEND AND WE REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. DID GOOD FOR 2 WEEKS AND RAN UP ON STOPPED TRAFFIC AND THE WORST HAPPENED TWICE AS BAD AS THE FIRST TIME. TRUCK HAS 57,000 MILES AND I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS UNTIL NOW. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE NO REPAIR FOR IT. MAYBE THE BEST FIX IS TO BUY A NEW OTHER BRAND TYPE OF TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL FORD BUYER UNTIL THIS HAS COME UP UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL OR REPAIR TO BE MADE
