So i have had an issue with the front end of my 2019 ford since i bought it. I told them on april 26th that it seemed to be pulling and they checked the alignment and said everything was okay and within specs.

Uncontrollalbe wobble at high speeds when hitting bumps on overpasses,or very rough spots in the roadway, or bridge crossings.

Also each time while trying to get the vehicle under control you had to slow down as soon as possible to get it to stop the severe…

21,997 miles, driving on highway at 62 mph. Hit a bump and experienced death wobble. Slowed to 20 mph before truck drove out of it. Previously owned a 2017 350 that did the same thing at 20k miles. Ford bought it back. Trusted that i would not have the problem again, so bought this 2019. This is dangerous and frustrating. I can't believe the nhtsa hasn't required ford to fix this problem.
