I HAVE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHICH MEANS MY F250 STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY (AS IF DRIVING ON A WASHBOARD DIRT ROAD) AFTER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. COULD BE A MANHOLE COVER, A POT HOLE OR THE SEEMS ON THE FREEWAY. ESPECIALLY IF I HIT THE BUMP WITH ONE TIRE AND IF I AM ON A CURVE. IT SHAKES UNTIL THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP. STARTED INFREQUENTLY NOW HAPPENS OFTEN AND PREDICTABLY (I HAVE VIDEO). TIRES HELPED FOR A WHILE, NEW SHOCKS DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. LOTS OF POSTS COMPLAINTS ONLINE. DON'T KNOW SOLUTION BUT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
