At 17,000 miles the truck started going into what everyone calls a "death wobble" when at high speed and/or rough spot in the road. It is clear that they have a major safety issue here and they are doing nothing about it and their fix is only a patch that delays the problem to a later date.

Hit bump on highway and vehicle starts shaking out of control. This has happened over 5 times now. Ford would only replace steering dampener. It did it again after being in shop for 3 days. This is very dangerous and can only stop the shaking by slowing to a stop in the middle of the road as it is almost impossible to steer. From researching online, this is an ongoing problem referred to as the "death wobble". Ford…
