Example complaints

“I was traveling at a speed of 65 MPH down interstate 5 south in castaic, ca. The truck front end suddenly began to shake violently. It was only when I slowed down and pulled over when the shaking stopped and the truck drove normally. I later came to realize I had experienced what many call the 'death wobble'. I immediately took the truck to my local Ford dealer for repairs”
