I am the original owner of this 2021 F250, (by my notes, dates & miles may differ slightly by Ford/Dealer records) I first noticed Death-Wobble around [XXX] @ 3,040 miles & Ron Alpen Ford checked factory alignment & ordered an updated steering stabilizer. Updated steering stabilizer was on back order until around 8/8/23 @ 26,647 miles when it was installed on the F250. As you can see, over two thirds of this truck's three year bumper to bumper warranty was dissolved by back order. This is where I believe Ford Motor Company's engineering group got involved & recommended a custom alignment, I believe this was performed by Ron Alpen Ford around 4/8/24 @ 33,486 miles. As you can see, over half of this truck's remaining warranty was dissolved waiting on Ford Motor Company's assistance. Ford Motor Company fell silent after recommending I take the truck to a different Ford Dealer for a second opinion... I still do not believe a second opinion was the correct opinion of Ford... Ford should have supported Ron Alpen Ford further in this repair. I set up an appointment at Courtesy Ford, Courtesy had the truck for two full weeks straight... Ford claimed that the truck had conveniently made it outside of the warranty period... 12/3/24 @ 35,922 Courtesy replaced the drag link & the steering stabilizer a SECOND time as the continuing death-wobble had destroyed the first updated steering dampener at my expense because the truck was conveniently out of the 3 year warranty period... Courtesy also decided to return the truck to its original factory alignment even though they were asked not to. Death-wobble continued as of [XXX] @ 36,105 miles. I have contacted Ford Motor Company, Ron Alpen Ford & Courtesy Ford on 12/11/24 to inform them the truck still has Death-Wobble & as of 12/27/24 no reply from any one. I have called Courtesy Ford requesting my money back because they guaranteed the truck would be fixed & it clearly is not.
