#701284December 11, 1998
SUSPENSION:FRONT
SINCE APPROXIMATELY 20000 MILES VEHICLE WILL WITHOUT WARNING DEVELOPE AN EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE UNTIL BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO A SPEED OF 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AT ALL SPEEDS FROM 30 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. INSPECTIONS AT ALINGMENT SHOPS, FAILED TO REVEAL ANY FAILED COMPONENTS. A RECENT INSPECTION AT A FORD GARAGE ALSO REVEALED NO DAMAGED COMPONENTS BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED ON THE 1-TON 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS APPLICABLE TO THIS VEHICLE AND THAT PURSUANT TO THIS BULLITIN A FACTORY RECOMMENDED FIX WAS INSTALLED AT MY COST. BE AWARE THAT ON 2 SEPERATE OCCASIONS I ASKED DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL IF THERE WAS AN INHERRENT PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THIS VEHICLE, BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO SUCH KNOWLEDGE. THIS RESULTED IN UNNECCESSAY EXPENSES AT ALIGNMENT SHOPS , THE REPLACEMENT OF TIRES AND SHOCKS, AND THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF A DAGEROUSLY UNFIT VEHICLE. ONLY UPON MY ISSISTANCE TO THE DEALER THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPPERATED WAS THE EXISTANCE OF SAID TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITIN ACKNOWLEDGED AND THE FACTORY FIX INSTALLED, AGAIN AT MY COST.
