Consumer Description
After hitting very small bumps is the road my truck shook so violently that I could not control it. I had my two little girls in the back and they where very scared. After taking my truck to my mechanic I was made aware of this being a big issue with Ford trucks, apparently it is called the "Death Wobble". I completely understand why they call it that. My truck has under 100,000 miles and when this first happened my truck only had around 60k miles on it. Ford has not maintenance recommendations to replace suspension parts at 60k miles. There should not be any suspension issues on a vehicle with only 60k miles. This is VERY DANGEROUS. Not only can the vehicle not be controlled but this happens on highways and interstates and can cause a huge accident. From time to time I tow a 5th wheel RV that weighs 13,452 when it is empty. Does somebody need to die because nobody wants to do anything about this very serious issue? I am reporting this now because I previously did not know things like this could be reported to a Government agency.
