Consumer Description
my vehicle has the symptoms of the widely reported front end wobble while driving. it was corrected once before by Ford at ~35,000 miles (i'm looking for previous paperwork). it stopped, but ever since then the front end felt a little loose. it started doing the wobble again 2 weeks ago (76,000 miles). I took to ford, they said there was a steering damper recall and would fix. At the appointment they noted other items that looked to need repair. I noted they should be repaired under the damper item as it is what has caused the excessive wear. they stated it was not covered and i told them i'd have it repaired elsewhere. when i picked up my vehicle it was much worse. Online records report this as the "Death Wobble" and it definitely is so.
