Consumer Description
I EXPERIENCED THE FORD 'DEATH WOBBLE' ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 65MPH DECEMBER 23RD 2020. I TOOK THE TRUCK MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. MY STEERING DAMPENER HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, DUE TO THE RECALL, ON JUNE OF 2020. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THE DAMPENER WAS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THE TRACK ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF APPROX. $400.00. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THE THE TRACK ARM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL. THIS LEAVES ME DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WILL EXPERIENCE THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AGAIN AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN GRAVE DANGER. THE FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COVER THIS KNOWN PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD REPLACE ALL PARTS THAT ARE AFFECTED IN THIS CASE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HARM OR DEATH TO THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS. A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID, OR DIDN'T DO, CAN BE FOUND ON THE FORD OASIS REPORT WITH THE VIN NUMBER PROVIDED.
