No injuries or death Steering
Had the truck at the dealership numerous times for 'death wobble' when traveling at or above 50 miles per hour. Wobble also starts with bumps and groves in the road. Ford dealership stated they could not fix the issue and did not know how. Since then the issue has yet to be resolved costing me a lot of money out of pocket and driving daily to work in a vehicle I feel is unsafe. Steering · reported at 50,000 miles
