Consumer Description

MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TWICE NOW. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY FRONT END WHEN IN GOT OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD OR A BRIDGE JOINT GOING BETWEEN 55-75. IT WAS FIXED ONCE WHILE MY WARRANTY WAS ACTIVE NOW SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING IF I WASN'T HOLDING ON TIGHT OR IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. EVERYTHING ON MY TRUCK IS STOCK AND IT HAPPENED ROUGHLY 15K AND NOW AT 43K MILES. IM WORRIED IT WILL KILL SOMEONE AND ME AND OR MY FAMILY WHEN WE ARE IN THE TRUCK. I DON'T LET THEM RIDE VERY OFTEN UNLESS WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE IN TOWN WHERE MY SPEED IN LESS THAN 45 MPH. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY TRUCK AT WOODHOUSE FORD IN BLAIR, NE ON THE 19TH OF THIS MONTH, MARCH 2020. HOPING BY DOING THIS COMPLAINT THEY WILL NOT CHARGE ME SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
