Consumer Description
I have experienced the “death wobble” on (5) different occasions driving on highways and/interstate roads. I have contacted a Ford dealership and been told that they have not heard of this happening with the 2021 vehicles. I had to take it to an automotive mechanic shop to ask them and they said that they have numerous customer complaints of exact death wobble incident. No visible and obvious looseness in any ball joint was found today when placed on repair rack. This same issue was present in a 2017 f250 that Ford finally enacted a recall for repairs in years past. This is a horrible problem. It is definitely a problem. Why would Ford be allowed to not correct this problem prior to major injury or deaths occur. This is an absolute disgrace. I spent $50 at a mechanic shop today and just placed an order with Superlift Suspensions in West Monroe, LA for a, recently designed, dual steering stabilizer for $325 in an attempt to not die at the wheel due to loss of control while driving. Additional expense will be incurred to have said steering stabilizer installing hopes of avoiding a major accident at legal rates of speed. PLEASE require that Ford Motor Company correct this problem. It is ridiculous to have to spend money and time away from work on an issue that is without a doubt, obvious and real. It was a problem with past Ford F250 trucks such as my 2017. It is a problem as well in the 2021 F250 trucks and for Ford to not acknowledge this is unacceptable.
