Consumer Description

08DURING 2018 WE TOOK AN EXTENDED CAMPING TRIP TO MAINE. IT WAS AT THIS TIME WE EXPERIENCED THE MOST INSTANCES OF WHAT I HAVE HEARD CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE".THE FIRST TIME WAS IN PENNSYLVANIA PULLING THE FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER WHEN WE HIT A POTHOLE AND WAS TERRIFIED I WAS GOING LOSE CONTROL. THIS OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE MORE TIMES, ONCE MORE WITH THE CMPER AND TWICE JUST TRAVELING WITH THE TRUCK, BUT ALL BROUGHT ON BY HITTING A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT.ALL HAPPENED ON INTERSTATES AND FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. HAVING TO COME ALMOST TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IS NOT SOMETHING NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.IN 2019 WE FINALLY GOT TO WHERE WE COULD FINANCIALLY HAVE A FORD DEALER LOOK AT.THIS. THEY REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS , UPPER AND LOWER AND ALIGNED THE FRONT END. SO FAR IT HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN.
