Consumer Description

MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE, THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WITH ONE INCIDENT OF MY WIFE LOSING CONTROL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I GOT NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT AND THE TRUCK HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO FORD AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME IS TO LOOK AT THE SERVICE ADVISORY AND DECIDE IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ONE THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY ISSUE THAT'S IS GOING TO END UP KILLING SOMEONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY
