What a difference a dealer makes
On my 2019 F250 Lariet, I had a horrible death wobble at 7,500 miles. Took it to dealer #1 they said the tire pressure was off on the front tires and pumped me up to WAY PAST the recommended pressure.
That lasted about a week and I could feel the wobble now going over manhole covers. Back to deal #1 at 10K miles, I said same problem please fix it, and please do all the recalls. They delivered it without performing the frozen lock recall saying " we don't do those in Southern Ca." Oh so I guess when I take it to snow country then I will have a problem because you didn't fix the recall?
Now at 13K miles, I took it to dealer #2 telling them to please fix the death wobble, and the recalls the other dealer didn't bother to do.
I got a call today. There are giving me new tires, steering linkage, shims, alignment etc etc
REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES
WORKS POWER STROKE DIESEL PACKAGE
CHECK AND CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE.EXCLUDES UNSAFE TIRES OR
CUSTOMER REQUESTS PERFORM MULTI POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION.
19N06 DOOR LATCH FREEZING CONCERNS
20N04 STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER EXTENDED COVERAGE
PLEASE USE CUSTOMER SUPPLIED OIL INSIDE VEHICLE
My advice, if one dealer jerks you around just go to another dealer
