Consumer Description

This vehicle, like many others has a severe death wobble. I almost lost complete control of the vehicle on the freeway at 75MPH after hitting a pothole! I replaced tie rod ends and took it to the Ford dealer to have it aligned and had them check all other steering components. They only recommended new tires and said everything was tight and didn't need replacement. The tires have over 3/32's wear on them so they could have made it another summer before replacing them. It is at the dealer right now getting new tires but I am afraid this will not fix the actual problem. The problem had been reproduced at the dealer and the mechanic told me it was the worst one he has ever driven. This is a known vehicle defect and Ford will still not do anything to fix the issue since it has not been reported in new vehicles that are exactly the same. There were no messages or symptoms before this occurred and it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am only a 118lb Female and it was almost impossible to control the vehicle
