TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE AS I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A SMALL PORTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE WOBBLE BECOMES SO SEVERE THAT I HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AFTER 6MONTHS FROM PURCHASE DATE (NEW) BUT FORD SAYS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 1-5X A WEEK AND I'VE NEARLY HIT SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME BY SWIRLING DURING THE WOBBLE. I LOOSE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. I HAVE HAD A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS.

EXTREME SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN ENCOUNTERING A SHIFT IN ROAD SURFACE SUCH AS AN EXPANSION JOINT, ETC AT AROUND 55 MPH AND TURNING SLIGHTLY LEFT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS AND ROADS. LINK TO VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UVTUQV60JNU

MY FORD WAS PURCHASED AS A ONE OWNER TRUCK WITH 44,000 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA. OWNED BY A PERSON BRAND NEW ALSO IN FLORIDA. I LIVE IN SOUTH WESTERN VA PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY BRAKE CALIPERS. I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. HUGE DANGER ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS TRUCK IS MADE TO PULL HEAVY WEIGHT THAT NEEDS GOOD BRAKES.

FROM DAY 1 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WHERE THE FRONT END WOULD BOUNCE UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. IT'S GETTING WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP CANNNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THEY TOLD ME AT ONE TIME TO REPLACE MY TIRES BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE.
