Default just need help

I just bought a brand new 2014 f150 lariat 4x4 with the 5.0L. Since day one it has had a bad hobble, now it only does it at 90kms. Before it did it when ever where ever, took it to the dealer they can't find anything wrong with it, just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues, really starting to **** me off paid $50,000 for this truck with zero % financing and all the best coverages.

Bad wheel (it won't balance) or a bad tire (separated ply on tire) or tire out of round, check lug nuts. Just a couple of things to have checked.

I think if possible try another dealer, someone missing something. I believe it would still covered by your warranty. Let us all know what you find out.

The only problem I have is the nearest other ford dealer is a hour and a half in either direction of where I live. But the truck only has 7500KM on it and since day one it has had this hobble with my summer and winter tires on it and they are both on different rims. starting to think i should have stayed with my old cummins that had 300,000kms on it and still ran like the day i bought it.

I'm happy to get you regional customer service manager to assist, fd-150. Please send the VIN, full name, daytime phone number, and dealer info. I encourage you to book an appointment with your preferred dealer at your earliest convenience.
