2017 Ford F-250 SD complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH OVER A BRIDGE JOINT, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOCK VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". UPON SLOWING DOWN TO 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED PALM SPRINGS FORD-LINCOLN (69200 CA-111, CATHEDRAL CITY, CA 92234, (760) 328-2102) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING THE DREADED DEATH WOOBLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS OR HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THE ONLY PART THEY CHANGED WAS THE STEERING STABILIZER. THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT NOW IT'S BACK AND WORSE THAN EVER. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I WONT EVEN DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY UNTIL I CAN GET IT BACK INTO THE DEALER WHICH I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT NEXT THURSDAY. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I TAKE MY LIFE IN MY HANDS EVERY TIME I AM ON THE HIGHWAY

WHILE DRIVING 50MPH OR HIGHER WHEN I HIT A BUMP I GET A VIOLENT RATTLE AND BOUNCE IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL THAT WON'T STOP UNLESS I SLOW DOWN TO AT LEAST 35MPH.

IN OCTOBER 2018, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH IN MY 2017 F-250 (MY TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 24,000 MILES ON IT), I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AND THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH. THE TRUCK DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER A COUPLE WEEKS LATER. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. THE SHAKING STOPPED FOR A FEW DAYS AND I PUT THE TRUCK IN STORAGE FOR NINE MONTHS WHILE DEPLOYED. WHEN I RETURNED IN OCTOBER 2019, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE FOR THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE SHAKING RETURNED AFTER I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHEN HITTING EXPANSION JOINTS AND A POTHOLE AT 70-75 MPH. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I OR OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NOT BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED YET, AND I CANNOT TAKE MY FAMILY IN THIS $60,000 TRUCK. I HAVE READ ABOUT COUNTLESS EXAMPLES FROM OTHERS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER IN TOPEKA TODAY, THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THIS 'DEATH WOBBLE' IS 'KIND OF JUST WHAT THE TRUCK DOES.' THIS IS CRAZY, AND I CAN'T ACCEPT IT FOR A TRUCK AS EXPENSIVE AS THIS. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED.

AT SPEEDS AROUND 55+ MPH, AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS TO QUICKLY SLOW THE VEHICLE TO 10-20 MPH, AND ALLOW THE SHAKING TO STOP. AFTER THIS, YOU CAN RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL SPEED. THE COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET REFER TO THIS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO STEERING ABILITY AND NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE FORD DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, THERE IS APPARENTLY NO STANDARD FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. ON A SMOOTH ROADWAY, THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOES NOT OCCUR. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 20,000 MILES AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPAIRED IT WITH AN ALIGNMENT. THE SITUATION REOCCURRED AROUND 29,000 MILES.

WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON AN INTERSTATE AROUND 70 MPH I STRUCK A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING EXTREMELY BADLY. IT FELT BASICALLY OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER SLOWING TO ABOUT 40 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END AFTER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND ARM. CONDITION DID NOT IMPROVE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SOME BUSHINGS. PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE TIRES ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THESE CONDITIONS ALL OCCURED AT SPEEDS AROUND 65MPH. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. FORD DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM. I COMPLAINED ABOUT A KNOCKING SOUND. MANAGER SAID IT WAS SOME PLASTIC BUSHINGS IN THE SPRINGS. AFTER REPLACING SOME FRONT END PARTS, THE SOUND WENT AWAY. TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AT LEAST A WEEK ON EACH OCCURRENCE. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, THE DISPLAY WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY. TOOK 6 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DISPLAY WAS FINALLY REPLACED. A VIBRATIONS IN THE SEATS OCCURS WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE TRAILER IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. WHEN A DIFFERENT TRUCK PULLS THE TRAILER, NO VIBRATIONS OCCURS IN THE SEATS AND FLOORBOARD.

DEATH WOBBLE IN STEERING WHEEL. THIS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY ! EXTREME STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP BUMP AT 60 MPH OR MORE. TOTALLY LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING FUNCTION. TOOK TO DEALER AND REPLACED SOME PARTS AT 18,000 MILES AND NOW EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN AT 22,000 MILES. MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES 2017 FORD F250 HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH FORD MOTOR CO. !

ON 10/28/19 I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY( I-15) AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I HIT A SECTION OF ROUGH ROAD AND MY VEHICLE STEERING VIBERATED VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST STRUCK OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE THE STEERING WAS VIBRATING SO ROUGH. I SAFELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED THE FRONT END. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG SO I TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES WITH NO ISSUE. ON 11/1/19 I TRAVELED 10 MILES ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, AND THE VIBRATIONS RETURNED AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SSECTION OF HIGHWAY. I HAD TO STOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND TRAVEL AT 40 MPH TO MAKE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION.

HAD THE "DEATH WOBBLE". CRUISING AT 70 MPH AND HIT A PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD. TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND WOULDNT STOP UNTIL I REDUCED THE SPEED TO 35 (ON A HWY). I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE IT WAS SO BAD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50-70 MPH, I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AFTER DRIVING OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. I LITERALLY HAVE TO STOP MY TRUCK BEFORE I CAN REGAIN CONTROL. THE VIBRATION LITERALLY WANTS TO THROW ME OUT OF MY CHAIR. I CAN'T EVEN HOLD ONTO THE STEERING.

WHILE CROSSING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AROUND 60 MPH IN MY 2017 CC 4WD F250 THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. EVERYTHING FELL OUT OF THE CUP HOLDERS AND OFF THE DASH AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER MANAGING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND AVOID OTHER VEHICLES AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS ABLE TO REACH THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A STOP. SCARY AS HELL. HAD TO DRIVE TRUCK HOME ON THE FEEDER AT 40 MPH FOR FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STABILIZER AT AROUND 11,000 MILES. THAT FIX LASTED 5,000 MILES. SO NOW WAITING ON THE THIRD STABILIZER IN 16,000 MILES AND THE PART IS BACKORDERED. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HAD IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC OR IN THE RAIN I, AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND ME, MIGHT NOT HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURY. SO THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE "FORD TSB FIX" IS ONLY GOOD FOR AROUND 5,000 MILES. EACH DEALER VISIT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT PERFECT EXCEPT THE STABILIZER. THIS IS A NEW TRUCK THAT SHOULDN'T REQUIRE A 5000 MILE FRONT-END JOB. WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS OR SIGNS PRIOR TO THE EVENT AND PER THE DEALER, ALL IS GOOD. IT IS NOT. TRUCK IS A HAZARD FOR ANYONE IN OR AROUND IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I HAVE 2 F250'S AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN HITTING BUMPS. ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE KILLED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING? MY FAMILY WON'T DRIVE THEM ANYMORE. HATE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! FORD SHIRE WON'T!!!!

AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH UPON HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS LACK OF CONTROL CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO EITHER GO STRAIGHT WHEN YOU NEED TO TURN OR TO BOUNCE YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO AROUND 30 MPH. THIS IN ITSELF IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE. THIS SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY NOTHING MORE THAN HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIT A POTHOLE OR SOME OTHER AVOIDABLE OBJECT. BOTH THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION ARE A DANGER NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE, BUT ALSO TO ANYONE AROUND OR BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. FORD DEALERSHIP STATES FORD HAS NOTHING TO SAY ON THE MATTER. INITIAL CONCERN WAS HANDLED BY REPLACING THE STEERING STABILIZER, A FIX WHICH LASTED ONLY 8 MONTHS, THEN THE EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN. ON MY LAST 400 MILE TRIP, I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE 6 TIMES FROM THIS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT, THAT MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED.

DEATH WOBBLE / STEERING OSCILLATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

DEATH WOBBLE, SHIMMY, OSCILLATION OVER MINOR BUMPS. MUST DRASTICALLY REDUCE SPEED TO RECOVER

TRUCK HAS A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. HAD TO SLOW TO 40 MPH IN TRAFFIC TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE SHAKING AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE FORD DEALER TWICE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT ISSUE STILL OCCURS AND IS UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY USAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE FORCEFULLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RANDALL REED'S PRESTIGE FORD (LOCATED AT 3601 S SHILOH RD, GARLAND, TX 75041, (972) 468-1024), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

MY 2017 F250 IS EXPERIENCING ' DEATH WOBBLE '. AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR MORE, ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD SHIMMIES THE STEERING WHEEL AND AT TIMES THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHIMMY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL AND AM FORCED TO SLOW DOWN TO 25-20 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP.

2017 FORD F-250 WHEELS VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPY OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. VEHICLE HAD 22000 MILES WHEN FIRST STARTED. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES WITH NO FIX. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF NOT RESOLVED. HAVE BEEN TOLD, AIR PRESSURE NOT CORRECT, ROTORS, BRAKES, TIRES, ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH NO RESOLUTION. FORD HAS A PROBLEM AND ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. SPENT 70K ON FORDS SUPER DUTY AND AFRAID TO DRIVE OR LET ANY FAMILY MEMBER DRIVE. IF OR WHEN SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS THE LAWSUIT WILL NOT BE PRETTY. TELL FORD TO FIX THE ISSUE! DEALER SAID THEY PERFORMED TSB 18-2268 AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. I'M CURIOUS IF FORD EXECUTIVES WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT THEIR FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY OUTING? INVESTED TOO MUCH MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND NOW TOO MUCH TIME AND ADDITIONAL MONEY TO FIX WITH NO SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO LONGMONT FORD (235 ALPINE ST, LONGMONT, CO 80501) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT SUSTAINED OSCILLATION OCCURRED AND THE DRIVE LINK, SLUGS, ALIGNMENT, STEERING STABILIZER, SHOCKS, AND TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". ON 6/7/19 TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER WITH 32,499 MILES. GULF COAST FORD ANGELTON,TX. DEALER CONFIRMED DEATH WOBBLE REPLACED ALL 4 STEERING LINKS, STEERING SHOCK, CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND SET TOE. 10/22/19 TRUCK NOW HAS 41,000 MILES AND THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. WAITING TO HEAR FROM DEALER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OF LOOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS IS THE SECOND FORD THAT I HAVE HAD THAT HAD THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE 2019 MODELS DO IT AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. BOTH DEATH WOBBLES I HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 60-65

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT A TIRE HAD FLATTENED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY AND WAS DRIVEN AT 60 MPH TO A DESTINATION TWO HOURS AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULLINAX FORD LINCOLN (7311 AIRPORT BLVD, MOBILE, AL 36608), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHILE TOWING A 7000 LB TRAILER/RV, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING BADLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON CANADA HWY 104 BETWEEN ANTIGONISH NS AND MONCTON NB. AFTER STAYING IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN MONCTON NB, THE SHAKING HAPPEN ONE MORE TIME THE NEXT DAY ON HWY 1 WHILE DRIVING TO SAINT JOHN. EACH TIME, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE SHAKING STOP AT ABOUT 35 MPH. EACH TIME, THE SHAKING STARTED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH, AND CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 26,000 MILES WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING. THE SAME TRAILER SETUP HAS BE USED FORM THOUSANDS OF MILE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE SHAKING WAS VERY BAD AND I AM VERY THANKFUL NO OTHER CARS WERE CLOSE BY WHEN IT HAPPEN.

MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, IT WAS VERY UNSTABLE . WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BUT THE SHAKING IS STILL THERE AND IT OCCURS AT LOWER THAN HIGHWAY SPEEDS NOW.

I AM WRITING TO YOU REGARDING MY TRUCK WHICH HAS JUST UNDER 12000 MILES ON IT, BUT, THIS LETTER GOES BEYOND MY TRUCK, IT INCLUDES POTENTIALLY EVERY F250 ON THE ROAD FROM AT LEAST THE 2017 MODEL YEAR AND POTENTIALLY OTHER YEARS. THE ISSUE IS THE INFAMOUS DEATH WOBBLE WHICH OCCURS ON CERTAIN ROUGH ROADS AND BRIDGE JOINTS. I AM CURRENTLY ON A TRIP TO COLORADO AND SOUTH DAKOTA FROM PENNSYLVANIA AND IN THE LAST 1600 MILES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM MORE THAN 35 TIMES (WHAT'S THE POINT OF COUNTING?). I KNOW YOU HAVE A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT LISTING A FIX WHICH FROM MY RESEARCH APPARENTLY DOESN'T WORK LONG TERM BUT DOES WEAR OUT TIRES A HELL OF A LOT FASTER. HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH AND EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? IF NOT, PUT YOURSELF IN ONE OF THESE IMPROPERLY ENGINEERED TRUCKS AND DRIVE UNTIL YOU FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF SPEED, BUMP FREQUENCY AND ANY OTHER SITUATION WHICH MAY CAUSE OCCURRENCE. WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU WILL HAVE THOROUGHLY SCARED IT OUT OF YOU ALONG WITH THE DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLES AROUND YOU. THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES WOULD BE PRICELESS IF IT WERE A HORROR SHOW INSTEAD OF A ROAD SITUATION. IN ORDER TO STOP DEATH WOBBLE THE VEHICLE MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP, OFTEN IN PLACES WHERE THE BERM OF THE ROAD ISN'T WIDE ENOUGH OR SAFE ENOUGH TO GET OFF ON AND YOU HAVE AN 18 WHEELER ABOUT TO RUN UP YOUR BUTT. AFTER YOU FINISH WIPING, TAKE THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW ENGINEERING COULD SCREW UP SO BADLY AND QUALITY COULD LET IT SLIDE

MY 2017 FORD F-250 HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAS ALMOST KILLED US SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOVE ABOUT 65 MPH AND HITTING SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT IT DEVELOPS A DEATH WOBBLE SO VIOLENT I HAVE TO WHITE KNUCKLE THE STEERING WHEEL AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GAIN CONTROL, WHICH ONLY HAPPENS AT ABOUT 30 MPH. AFTER THE SECOND TIME I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AS I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CAUSE, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN THREE TIMES ON OUR LAST TRIP.

OCTOBER 19. I HIT A EXPANSION JOINT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. INSTANTLY THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE SHAKING WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO LOOSE A TIRE. IT IS A WONDER I DIDN'T CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I CAME HERE AND SEEN I'M NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE INNOCENT VICTIM IS KILLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALSO PULL A 5TH WHEEL. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PULLING THE 5TH WHEEL I DON'T BELIEVE I COULD HAVE GOTTEN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE PAST FORDS I HAVE OWNED HAVE BEEN GREAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD TAKE CARE OF THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IF THEY DON'T I WILL BE REPLACING THIS TRUCK WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND.

DEATH WOBBLE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO BAD I HAD TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ON HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 65MPH.

I HAD PREVIOUSLY REPORTED 11174271. THE TRUCK IN QUESTION WAS PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 10K MILES LATER THE ISSUE REOCCURED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 50 MPH ON A BRIDGE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER AND ENDED UP REGAINING CONTROL AFTER STOPPING COMPLETELY ON THE BRIDGE (THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME STOPPED TOO). I SLOWLY DROVE TO THE SHOULDER AND CLAMED DOWN. THIS WAS ALMOST A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT ON A BRIDGE. BECAUSE THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS TRUCK IS BEING TRADED IN WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD WE WENT OVER A BRIDGE SEAM AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE. THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES PRIOR TO THIS BUT NOT AS BAD. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO UNDER INFLATED TIRES, THAT I HAD TO KEEP THEM AT 70 PSI. TIRE PRESSURE HASN'T CHANGED ANYTHING. I TOW A 28 FT. TRAVEL TRAILER OFTEN, IF THIS HAPPENS AS VIOLENTLY AS LAST NIGHT WE WILL SURELY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE RIG. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION!

SEVERE/VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ANY DEVIATION IN ROAD SURFACE (BRIDGES/ TRANSITIONS/POTHOLES). FIRST DOCUMENTED IN 2018 AROUND 20,000 MILES. FORD DEALER REPLACED STEERING COMPONENTS IN APRIL 2019 WITH 32470 MILES. WOBBLE RETURNED IN JULY OF 2019 AT 39000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 9/25/19 AND THE REPORTED NO ISSUES OR REPAIRS NEEDED. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AGAIN ON 10/15/19 WITH 42K MILES AND THE TECH WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND A 5 MINUTE TRIP IT WOBBLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT BRAKING TO 35MPH TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR OF DEATH/INJURY. FORD IS ORDERING THE SAME PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED IN APRIL 2019.

2017 PRE OWNED FORD F250 DIESEL PURCHASED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. PURCHASED TRUCK NOV 2018. EXPERIENCED 6-7 EPISODES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ONLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50-60 MPH WHEN HITTING SEMI ROUGH ROAD. IT BEGINS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY AND WON'T STOP EVEN WHEN CONTINUING ON TO SMOOTH ROAD. ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER IT STARTS IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 50 MPH (THEREBY FRONT LOADING THE SUSPENSION BY APPLYING THE BRAKES) WHICH IS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, BE AWARE THIS TRUCK IS TOTALLY STOCK FROM FORD. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS OF ANY KIND. TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT 11 MONTHS. TRUCK IS GREAT IN EVERY OTHER WAY AND DRIVES REALLY WELL IN EVERY OTHER WAY. THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, BUT IS MORE LIKELY THE ROUGHER THE ROAD IS AT THOSE SPEEDS. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP IN AUG 2019 AND THEY REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS IN FRONT END SUSPENSION ALL FREE OF CHARGE. IT JUST DID THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN THIS LAST WEEKEND 10/12/19. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A 1K MILE TRIP THIS NEXT WEEK SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND TRUCK IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE ON 11/4/19. WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS DOES NEARLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. IT AT LEAST CAUSES IT TO VEER 1-2 FEET OUT OF THE LANE YOU ARE IN. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN TOWING A 5-10K POUND LOAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY LESS DANGEROUS ITEMS RECALLED ON VARI

DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN THE ROAD SURFACE TRANSITIONS OR WHEN TRUCK COMES IN CONTACT WITH A BUMP. FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. TRUCK HAS TO BE SLOWED DOWN NEARLY TO STOP BEFORE IT STOPS. MAJOR ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE ON AN INTERSTATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND PEOPLES LIVES AROUND YOU.

I WAS TRAVELING 65MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THE TRUCK DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 50MPH AND GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL COMING DOWN HIGHWAY 260 IN ARIZONA, VERY MOUNTAINOUS ROADS. CRUISING AT ABOUT 75, HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THROWING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO THE LEFT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND THE TRUCK NORMALLY DRIVES SMOOTH, THIS UNEXPECTED EVENT WILL KILL SOMEONE THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL F250S AND F350S, THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE AND YOU ARE BEING COMPLACENT NOT TREATING THIS AS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT THROW PARTS AT IT. I'VE READ THIS IS A CASTER ISSUE. TOTAL [XXX] I HAVE A 65K TRUCK I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE, BE CAREFUL PEOPLE THIS CAN KILL YOU AND ANYONE IN YOUR VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU WILL THANK GOD WHEN YOU CAN MAKE IT STOP IF YOU'RE ALIVE, I'M A TOTAL FORD GUY, BUT THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY OPINION ON MY VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK AND FORD. FORD IF ANYONE READS THIS YOU PEOPLE ARE PUKES. KNOWING THIS ISSUE AND NOT RECALLING IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2017 F250 WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES. FOR 2 WEEKS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING SEVERE STEERING ISSUES AT 50-70MPH. ANYTIME A SMALL BUMP OCCURS IN THE ROAD, THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. VERY CONCERNING!

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE ONLY WAY MAKE IT STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR WITH OUT CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 26000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND NO RESULTS

MY HUSBAND OWNS A 2017 FORD F250. HE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND SINCE EARLY ON IN OWNING THE VEHICLE, HE HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT I WOULD CALL A DEATH SHAKE WHEN HE HITS BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT CAUSES NECK AND BACK PAIN EACH TIME. THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL HE CAN GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAUSES EXTREME DANGER ON THE INTERSTATE AND BUSY ROADS. JUST TODAY HE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT HE COULD BARELY CONTROL IT. ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A STOP. THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADS. I KNOW THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TO THE NTHSA AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO HOLD FORD MOTOR COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS MALFUNCTION OF THEIR VEHICLE. FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IN MANY OF THEIR TRUCKS. MY HUSBAND ALSO HAS A 2008 F250 THAT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING, JUST NOT AS OFTEN. WE HAD THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE HAD TO RESCHEDULE UNTIL HIS OTHER TRUCK IS OUT OF THE SHOP. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE HOLD FORD MOTOR ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DANGEROUS TRUCKS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY TRUCK PASSED OVER SMALL BUMP IN ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ENTER LANE NEXT TO ME. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE PASSENGERS WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ALMOST CRASHED WITH THE SEMI I HAD PASSED PRIOR TO THE BUMP. THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED ONCE MY TRUCK REACHED A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THIS HAPPENED EARLIER ON SAME TRIP, HOWEVER, I DIDN'T THINK AS MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS GOING SLOWER AND IT DIDN'T LAST AS LONG. THE 2ND TIME MADE US FEEL OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER SO WE DROVE 10MPH BELOW POSTED SPEED LIMIT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

MY TRUCK HAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AT HIGH SPEED ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS

DRIVING VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOTICED VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE A SHAKING OF SOME SORT AT ABOUT MILE 33000 AND MENTIONED TO SERVICE MANAGE THAT THEIR WAS A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END BUT HIS COMPUTER WAS DOWN TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC ON IT WHEN HE DID OIL CHANGE AT 33805 HIS SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AND HEARD IT ALSO BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE ORIGIN AT THAT TIME. DEALERSHIP COULDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON VISITS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD ENCOUNTER A BUMP IN TRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 TO 52 MPH. I 75 SOUTH AT MICANOPY FL OVERPASS. HWY 351 IN DIXIE COUNTY FL. HWY 441 AT ALACHIA NORTH BOUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW ITS 4TH TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REQUESTED AND STILL HA E A VEHICLE THAT WILL WRECK EVENTUALLY. FUE TO QUICK RESPONCE SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS THEY SEEN THE TRUCK GOING ACROSS TO THE CENTER MEDIAN THEN BACK ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH OUT VERY MUCH CONTROL BY THE DRIVER EXCEPT TO TAP THE BRAKES AND PRAY. THE TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME AT A COMFORTABLE DISTANCE WHEN I FINALLY BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO REST AT THE SHOULD OF THE ON RAMP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNFIT TO DRIVE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. A SLIGHT BUMP AT TIME IS ALL IT TAKES TO SHAKE THE FRONT END AND YOUR ENTIRE TRUCK AND BEING. I FEEL I AM VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IT WAS TOWED BY DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THEY RECOMME

I HAVE A 2017 FORD F250 SUPER CAB WITH APPROXIMATELY 28,600 MILES ON IT. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FRONT END OSCILLATION (DEATH WOBBLE) FOR ABOUT THE LAST 5,000 MILES. IT OCCURS WHEN TRAVELLING OVER APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS CERTAIN BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR EXPANSION JOINTS AT ROAD BRIDGES. VEHICLE SHAKES SIDE TO SIDE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ONLY STOPS WITH AN IMMEDIATE BRAKING TO AROUND 35 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT MYSELF AND MANY OTHER FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WHICH COULD LEAD TO MAJOR ACCIDENTS, INJURY, OR DEATH, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH YOU HIT A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD AND YOUR WHOLE TRUCK START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, YOU FEEL AS IF YOURE GOING TO LOSE CONTROL YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST COMPLETLY TO GAIN ANY CONTROL OF THE WHEEL. THIS IS SERIOUSLY SO DANGEROUS. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY PUT A NEW SHOCK ON, IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO I TOOK IT UP THERE AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A TRAIL AND ERROR PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. RIDICULOUS

AT 75MPH ON A THREE LANE FREEWAY, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH RESULTED IN A VIOLENT FRONTEND SHIMMY THAT WAS SO BAD I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SLOW DOWN TO 25MPH TO GAIN CONTROL. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN QUESTION. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN SHORTLY THEREAFTER AT SAME SPEED SO I HAD TO CONTINUE AT 45 MPH AND DRIVE ON BACK ROADS TO GET HOME. ON TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALER THEY FOUND "DRAG LINKS AND TRACKBAR, BALL JOINTS HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY TECH. ALSO FOUND THAT STEERING DAMPENER HAD TOO MUCH MOVEMENT. REPLACED TRACK BAR BALL JOINTS, DRAG LINKS AND STEERING DAMPENER." HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES, THAT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED, NOT USED IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE, FREEWAY MILES ONLY, AND NEVER BEEN IN THE DIRT. AFTER NOTICING ONLINE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AMONGST 2017 F250S, OUR CONCERN IS IF THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL OCCUR AGAIN. NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AFTER HITTING BUMP, FRONT WHEELS START UNCONTROLLABLE OSCILLATION BACK IN FORTH CAUSING STEERING CONTROL TO BE LOST AND FEED BACK THROUGH STEERING WHEEL. I MUST COME TO COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP. DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX PROBLEM THREE TIMES BUT HAS NOT FIXED ISSUE.

ON MORE THAN 20 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE TAILGATE HAS RANDOMLY OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. IN ONE INSTANCE THIS ALLOWED THE LOAD I WAS CARRYING AT 55 MPH TO FALL OUT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE TRAVELING IN THE #3 LANE AT 57 MPH AT 6:10 P.M. ON INTERSTATE 80 IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA; AS I DROVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROADWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE/OSCILLATE VIOLENTLY AS WAS THE ENTIRE TRUCK, WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AT THAT POINT. I DECELERATED THE TRUCK WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES AS I THOUGHT THAT WOULD SEND ME INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SPIN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH OR WORSE. LUCKILY, DRIVERS AROUND ME REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND GAVE ME AS MUCH SPACE AS THEY COULD SO THAT I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. ONCE I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE SHAKING WAS NOT AS INTENSE AND I BEGAN TO CAREFULLY BRAKE ALL THE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. I STOPPED THE TRUCK ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY. SINCE MY FORD DEALER WAS CLOSED AT THAT TIME; I DROVE THE TRUCK ON SURFACE STREETS BACK HOME AND CONTACTED MY DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER EXAMINED THE TRUCK OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING AMISS WITH THE TRUCK. A DAY PRIOR, THE SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED ME IF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED BEFORE OR AFTER I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED. I TOLD HIM I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED ON SATURDAY AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED ON THURSDAY, SO IT WAS AFTER. THE NEXT DAY ON HIS RETURN CALL TO ME HE INDICATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AMISS WITH THE TRUCK OTHER THAN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS NOT CORRECT, FOR WHICH THEY ADJUSTED TO "PROPER" INFLATION. BELOW IS THE SYNOPSIS OF THE R

DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS BETWEEN 50-70 MPH IF HIT A ROUGH SPOT ON PAVED HWY. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. HAVE HAD DEALERSHIP FIX..BUT ONLY REDUCED SEVERITY.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 60-70 OR 80 MPH, THE TRUCK DEVELOPS VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL SHAKE, BACK AND FORTH, WHOLE TRUCK VIBRATES, TIRES SEEM TO BE SHAKING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER ( DEATH WOBBLE). THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK GOES OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD, BUMP, HOLE OR DEFECT IN THE ROAD. HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, WITH OR WITHOUT TOWING BUT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN TOWING TRAVEL TRAILER. SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL TRUCK IS BROUGHT TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. VERY SCARY
