Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND TOTALLY LOSES STEERING UNTIL I CAN SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH AND THE SHAKING STOPS. IT IS VERY SCARY AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS TO BE OVER 55 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENS. THE SLIGHTEST BUMP ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WILL CAUSE IT. ONE TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH AND THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK IN MY LANE. IT REALLY SCARES ME AND MY PASSENGERS WHEN IT HAPPENS .I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE IT. FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN TELL ME TO TAKE IT IN AND GET IT REPAIRED .I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE HAD WITH THESE ISSUES AND WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL.
