TRUCK HAS A BAD WOBBLE IN STEERING WHEN IT HITS BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAS 2,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK SOME FOLKS HAVE CALLED THIS A "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN IT HAPPENS IT COULD EASILY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE STEERING FEELS LIKE IT HAS TOO MUCH SLOP IN IT EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I'VE SEEN THIS MENTIONED MANY TIMES ON THE INTERNET. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE JUST OLD TRUCKS, BUT MINE IS BRAND NEW.
STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES EACH TIME I DRIVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED REGULARLY SINCE THE FIRST DAY I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
II WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, APROX 55 MPH ON A NORMAL ROAD. I HIT A POT HOLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE. I MANAGED TO SAFELY PULL OVER, INSPECT VEHICLE AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING "LOOKED" OKAY. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I SAW THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, FORDS FAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE 25K MILES, MY TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW, 80% MILES PLACED ON IN ARE HIGHWAY MILES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE, FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ASAP.
WHILE A TRAILER IS ATTACHED TO THE TRUCK, THE TAILGATE OPENS AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME BUT DOES OCCUR OFTEN WHILE TOWING. IT TYPICALLY OPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING TO MOVE, WHETHER FORWARD OR REVERSE. IT MAY OPEN REPEATEDLY AFTER CLOSING AND ATTEMPTING TO START MOVING AGAIN.
