Consumer Description

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A INCONSISTENT PLACE IN THE PAVEMENT THE VEHICLE GETS A DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BOUNCES ON THE GROUND. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE WOBBLE GETS WORSE SO THE VEHICLE HAS TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE SHAKING WILL STOP AROUND 23-28 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 6 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO KEEP ON THE ROAD WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE SLOWLY BEEN HAVING AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACING FRONT END PARTS TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING THE TRUCK DUE TO THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS HAPPENED FOR THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE VIDEOS ON MY DASH CAMERA WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE LAST TIME IT ACTUALLY KNOCKED THE CAMERA OFF THE WINDOW. I KNOW ALOT OF FORD TRUCK PEOPLE AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
