Consumer Description

I AM GETTING A DEATH WOBBLE. I BOUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AROUND 50 THOUSAND MILES ON THE TRUCK AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IN TO THIS. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO CHANGE THE TIRES. WHICH I DID AND I ROTATE THEM EVERY 5,000 TO 10,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO NIGHT AT 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS IN A TRANSITION FROM THE FREEWAY TO BRIDE AND THAT LITTLE BUMP PUT ME INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHICH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS BRING TO A DEAD STOP. WHICH I HAD TO DO ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK. THIS WAS THE FINAL STRAW. IT HAPPEN TO ME 2 TIMES MORE ON THE WAY HOME. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING IT. FORD HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I AM AFRAID EVERY TIME THAT I HIT A BUMP ITS GOING TO HAPPEN. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS UNSAFE FOR ROAD USE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF I SELL IT I WILL LOSE MONEY. THIS NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED VERY SOON BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED OR I AM KILLED BEHIND THE WHEEL.
