Consumer Description

I was driving at approximatelly 60mmph when the left front end starte shaking and vibrating so bad I could not keep it on the road. Luckly it was a two lane road with an emergency lane. when I came to a stop the vibration and shakinf stopped. I took it to the ford dealership. They told me I needed frontsuspension tie rods, ball joint assy shock absorbers drag links . Plus $1,156 dollars labor. Told me the truck was fixed to come and get it. They test drove it 5 miles. I picked it up. I had an appointment to go to. I went to it, and on my return the truck did the same thing on my return, this time it pushed me into the right hand lane, barely missing a car beside me. The drive stopped and asked me wht the hell as going on.. I explained and he said you better get the damn thig fixed. This was a Friday night. I parkd it and took it back to the dealer Monday morning. They did not beleive me. I took the tech on a drive, it happened right where it happened to me. I drove back a different way to the dealership to avoid the freeway. I happened again on this road. They went back to work on it. This time they installed a dual steering stabilizer, another $842 dollars, no charge for labor after i bitched. As a 30 year degreed mechanical engineer with years of buying and having machines and equipment repaired I beleive the first fixed the effects of the issue and then with the stabilizer hopefully fixed the cause. There was no warning it just happened out of the blue. I haveread up on th death wobble, and feel lucky I did not get killed.
