2012 FORD F-250 Steering Problems

I bought this truck used from a dealership in 2022-23 haven't really had any problems till about 2 months ago. Front end started a wobble. A friend of mine just sent me information NHTSA put out about the Death Wobble. I believe it expired in 2024. I never received any kind of recall on this. I was wondering if it would still be something I could get looked into. Thank you.

Driving on Pa turnpike twice this year and at 70 mph my 2012 ford f 250 with 79000 miles on it started shaking uncontrollably , had my wife and granddaughter with me and they cried and screamed till it stopped. Going to the dealer to see what Ford is going to fix for me before someone is killed ! Hopefully a recall or free fix! I have been educated that this has been an on going issue in many F250 Fords.

Today 11/21/24, I notified my husband as I am driving up the ramp going 50 my ford started to shake hard. I had to hold on to the steering wheel and pull over with out pressing the break. I came to a stop and kept him on the phone in case I were to flip over. The vehicle stopped wobbling and I started up again. I was not able to drive but less than 40 and again the wobble coming back. The commute for me was over 1 hour. I would not make it alive home. This vehicle had to go to the shop as if I were to drive home I would not be alive at this moment

The front suspension randomly shakes when doing speeds above 60 on the freeway. It’s very dangerous especially because we almost experienced running into a semi while driving on I-50 between a cement construction wall and the semi. I find it hard to believe that Ford will NOT own up to this. There is clearly a history of this. I simply want my front suspension fixed to meet safety standards.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump and experienced the death wobble. The contact pulled over and slowed down to stabilize the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and repaired, however, the failure recurred. The contact stated the vehicle was repaired six times for the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000. The VIN was not available.

Mileage: 128,000

The front end suspension and steering suddenly shakes violently after hitting a bump or uneven road at speeds above 50 MPH. The only way to stop it is to quickly slow down almost to a stop. Very scary and very dangerous.

I was driving on a paved road at 55mph, I did have a passenger in the vehicle. As I steered through the slight curve to the left the steering wheel started to jerk in my hands and the truck started to shake/wobble violently. I removed my foot from the accelerator and started to apply the brake while trying to keep the steering under control. From the violent wobble in the front end of the truck it did cross over the center line slightly, thankfully there were no oncoming vehicles. The wobble in the front end of the truck and jerking of the wheel did not stop until I came to a complete stop. I made sure there was no physical damage, or anything that looked unsafe, and drove the 1 1/2 mile back to my garage at 25mph. The truck is now parked awaiting another inspection. I had an inspection of this vehicle done on January 26, 2024. The wheel bearing on the right front was found to be wearing and in need of replacement. The wheel bearing (hub unit) was replaced to spec on February 11, 2024. Between the time of bearing replacement and incident I had driven this vehicle with no issues for approximately 70 miles.

I continue to experience violent shaking of vehicle when traveling around 70MPH. I almost lost control before I could safely pull over on the highway. I purchased truck with 55,000 miles on it and I replaced all the tires after it happened the first few times. New tires did not help.

Death wobble--great oscillation and shuddering of steering wheel and vehicle itself after hitting patches of rough road at highway speeds. This has happened 5 times now. Truck is currently being inspected for any faulty equipment. This occurred on interstate 10 in LA, and if not for quick thinking, I would have swerved into other traffic or lost control completely. This is a known problem with Ford F250s and is very dangerous. No warnings, no lights, and no way to predict that this might occur driving over rough pavement.

The front end of the vehicle and wheels start to violently oscillate at speeds between 50-60 mph. Sometimes it occurs after hitting a small bump and often occurs over smooth roads. This has been described as the "death wobble". I have to slow down below 25 mph for the wobbling to stop. This has put me in numerous dangerous situations on the street amd highway.

Inconsistent Death wobble when traveling at speeds 50+mph. The vehicle will begin to shake violently. I will have to come to stop to resolve issue. A licensed mechanic has diagnosed this issue and replaced most of the front end suspension parts. The inconsistent death wobble continues and the vehicle shakes violently and is difficult to maintain control. This is a huge safety issue.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK GOING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR, IT GOES INTO A WOBBLE, SHAKING, VIBRATION MODE. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A EARTHQUAKE. SOME TIMES IT COMES ON JUST NORMAL DRIVING AND MOST OF THE TIMES HAPPENS DRIVING OVER BUMPY UNEVEN SURFACE AND POTHOLES ROAD DOING OVER FIFTY MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RED MCCOMBS IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY CAN'T FINE THE PROBLEM. THE SURVICE ADVISER DID STATE THAT ONE OF THERE TECHNICIAN DID KNOWDICE A SLIDE VIBRATION WHILE TEST DRIVING IT BUT OTHER THEN THAT NO PROBEMS. THEY DID REPLACE A PART AT ONE TIME BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT [RED MCCOMB] ON 6TH OF FEBRUARY TO DROP OFF THE TRUCK TO CHECK OUT AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANY MORE. THIS LAST TIME THE VIBRATION WAS REAL BAD. HAD HARD TIME GETTING IT UNDER CONTROL ON A MAJOR CITY HIGHWAY. I THOUGH I WAS GOING TO GET KILL. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND SAFETY DRIVING THAT TRUCK. I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT AND PUT SOMEBODY ELSE LIFE IN DANGER. I CALLED FORD MANUFACTURE ON AROUND THE 17 OR 18 OF JANUARY AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT IT. THE CONVERSATION WAS RECORDED ACCORDING TO THEM. THEY ACTED LIKE THERE HAS BEEN NO PROBLEM WITH THOSE TRUCKS. THEY CONTACTED ME BACK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THATS WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT. I BOUGHT THAT TRUCK NEW IN TEMPLE TEXAS FROM THE JOHNSON BROTHERS DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2012. RED MCCOMB HAS MAINTAIN ALL OF THE REQUIRED MAINTANACE AND MECHANICLE PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IS DOCUMENTRED THERE.

The truck will shake violently and uncontrollably at speeds above 45mph...thought I was going to crash into on coming traffic...very scary and life threatening not only for myself but also my passengers oncoming traffic ... I'm pretty sure I would have been the one with a lawsuit if I was to crash into something or someone...instead of ford ..please fix

Known Ford Superduty "death wobble"...violent shaking of truck's front end at highway speed. Happens randomly and usually after hitting a bump or going over uneven road surfaces. Only way to stop wobble is to slow down to below about 50 mph, putting myself and others on the road at risk. Known Ford issue.

Today, September 6, 2022, is the first time I experienced the so called death wobble. I was traveling along at 55 mph when I went over a bump in the road and my truck began to shake like a dog shaking water off. I slowed down to 40 mph before it stopped. The shaking caused the turbocharger intake hose to break away from the engine causing an undrivable condition.

The truck is experiencing what is commonly referred to as the "Death Wobble." At around 55 mph, the vehicle starts to violently shake. It shakes the whole vehicle, especially the steering--the steering wheel severely shakes until I slow the vehicle slows down below 40 mph. From my research, I've found this is a common issue among other Superduty owners. It seems like there are faulty front end suspension and/or steering parts at play: pitman arm, drag link, tie rod ends (and their bushings/ball joints), etc. The shaking happens on the freeway and is frightening to experience as it could potentially lead to losing control if unable to slow down in time to stop the shaking. Being at freeway speeds, my family and I are at risk as well as other vehicles on the road if we were to lose control. This issue did occur 1.5 years ago. I took it into a Ford dealership where they replaced the steering dampener/stabilizer. Now the death wobble is happening again. From what I've learned, this is a band-aid fix that doesn't address the root cause of the death wobble. No warning lamps or error codes are present before, during, or after the shaking.

I have not had an accident. I have experienced a violent shaking of the steering after going over a bump at highway speed (50 +MPH). The truck shakes so that control is very difficult until one can reduce speed. I have heard this shaking called the “Death Wobble” An appropriate name.

While traveling at 55mph I hit a bump which caused the front of the vehicle to shake very violently. Rapid speed increase made it worse. It was only resolved when I braked hard slowing to 30mph. Thank goodness there was no traffic behind me as this would have resulted in my being rear ended by another vehicle.

Front end death wobble. It began slightly about 6 months ago but progressively has gotten worse. Today driving from 40mph to interstate speeds of 70mph. It is scary and dangerous. Please do whatever is necessary to have FORD recall and fix for this issue.

DEATH WOBBLE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. at speeds greater than 40mph, the vehicle becomes almost impossible to steer due to a major 'wobble' in the front end.

While driving at highway speeds and going over a bump, steering wheel will oscillate violently. Will have to slow down to nearly a stop to get it to stop. This happens between 60 and 65 MPH hitting the right bump truck gets death wobble, has to get on the brakes hard to stop it, had dealer look at it. It has been at the Ford dealership where I bought it and an independent shop and each time it has gotten a little better at each shop but still not completely fixed.

Death Wobble. Truck was uncontrollable, shook so bad that I thought I was going to run off the road. has happened 3 times. Ford claims it is an expected issue.

The vehicle starts shaking violently and uncontrol able until you slam on the brakes and your speed almost drops to nothing, only until then do you have control of the vehicle. I have been lucky because nobody has been beside me or else I would of slammed into them. Components in the front end have failed, i have replace the steering control arms, had the tires rebalanced, put a Rancho stabilizer, and had the ball joints checked.

Going 70-80mph on Rt119 North bound after going over a bridge truck started violently shaking with no control. Slowed down and kept going. After about 7 miles and going below 50mph the truck did the same thing.

Death wobble in steering which pulled truck onto on coming traffic .. dangerous and Ford should correct ongoing problem with people’s safety

THE DEATH WOBBLE MY F-250 TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING A DEATH WOBBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT ,I FIRST TOOK IT IN TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH 10,212 VEHICLE MILES ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE , AND HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE THEN . FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM , THEY ONLY MAKE MINOR CHANGES "BANDAID" TO THE TRUCK AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED , THEY KEEP PUTTING ME OFF AND SAY THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEVERAL PAGES OF SERVICE REPAIRS FORD HAS PERFORMED BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED THE DEATH WOBBLE . MY FORD F-250 STILL HAS LOW MILEAGE BUT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE CAME VERY CLOSE TO A ROLL OVER AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE FROM WHEN WE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK ROLLS OVER A BUMP AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 20 MPH IT GOES INTO A WOBBLE AND BECOMES VERY HAZARDOUS AND SCARY. WE BOUGHT THIS F-250 KING RANCH TO DRIVE AND ENJOY ON VACATIONS AND OTHER FAMILY TRIPS , BUT AT THIS TIME MY FAMILY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE RIDING IN IT, NOR HAVING IT ON THE ROAD WAYS IN FEAR OF IT BEING A DANGER TO US AND OTHER DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS. THIS F-250 GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN ENCOUNTERING A BUMP IN THE ROAD , ON PUBLIC COUNTY ROADS, CITY STREETS , STATE HIGHWAYS AND ESPECIALLY INTERSTATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS ISSUE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CORPORATION ON THIS ISSUES AS WELL. YET NEITHER ONE OF THESE ENTITIES OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAVE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY . REGARDS

MY LOCAL TIRE MAN DESCRIBED THIS AS A " DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IS AA GOOD DESCRIPTION. AS I DRIVE USUALLY AT 55 MPH THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STARTS TO SHAKE, NO PRIOR WARNING, SO HARD IT IS HARD TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. O FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW TO A STOP WITHOUT A WRECK. I CAN THEN PROCEED AS IF NOTHING HAS OCCURRED. THIS SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE FREQUENT. AND MAKES ME NERVOUS WHEN I DRIVE.. I HAVE LEARNED FROM MY TIRE MAN THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS IN MY ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD TRUCKS. WE HAVE HAD FORDS SINCE THE '70'S AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER ONE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A PART OR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER IT COSTS $400-$500 AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD FIX, NOT THE OWNER, WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE A FORD PROBLEM.WHETHER IN DESIGN OR WHATEVER. I EVEN HAD A FORD SERVICEMAN TELL ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM SOMETIMES WITH FORD . THIS IS A FRIGHTENING THING AND I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE AND DIDN'T FRIGHTEN ANYONE ELSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES FIRST IN 2014 . I WILL PUT THE LAST TIME IN THE SPACE BELOW AND I DID HAVE A FRIEND WITH ME THAT TIME.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH ON AN INTERSTATE; AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT THE FRONT END WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED BY ABOUT HALF. I HAD A TRUSTED MECHANIC LOOK AT MY TRUCK AND HE SAID ALL FRONT END PARTS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION AND TIGHT. HE TALKED TO A DEALER WHO RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER AS A CURE FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE. I HAD THAT REPLACED AROUND THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 2021. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE TRUCK ON AN INTERSTATE AT SPEED SINCE THE REPLACEMENT UNTIL TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 2021. THE WOBBLE HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES WITHIN A SPAN OF TEN MINUTES SCARING THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME AND NEARLY CAUSING TWO WRECKS. THE TRUCK IS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE TO NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT TO OTHER VEHICLES IN MY VICINITY WHILE ON THE ROAD.

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTING AT A 75,000 MILES. ALL SUSPENSION IS STOCK, TIRES ARE STOCK. I HAD BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP 4-5 TIMES (UNDER WARRANTY) AND GOT THE TRACK BAR REPLACED, TRACK BALL BUSHING, AND BALL JOINT, STEERING DAMPER, INCREASE IN CASTER AND EVEN BOUGHT NEW STOCK TIRES TO PROVE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 125,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW AFTER FIGHTING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED ALL ROD ENDS, TRACK BAR, BUSHINGS, STEERING DAMPER, ETC AND THE DEATH WOBBLE STILL PERSISTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN ISSUE AND MAKES THE TRUCK DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE ISSUE OCCURS PRIMARILY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHILE MAKING A VERY SLIGHT LEFT TURN WHEN A SMALL BUMP IS DRIVEN OVER SUCH AS AN EXPANSION JOINT. THE SEVERE VIBRATION THAT SHAKES THE FRONT SUSPENSION VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH DOES NOT SUBSIDE UNTIL THE TRUCK IS UNDER ~20 MPH (NOT A SAFE CONDITION TO BE IN WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY). DURING THIS PERIOD YOU CAN NOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER CONTROL, CAN NOT CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE OR STOP QUICKLY IF REQUIRED. THIS 'DEATH WOBBLE' HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIME WITH THE LATEST OCCURRENCE HAPPENING TODAY.

WHEN I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERS THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT FOR $6,000 TO $10,000 THEY CAN REPLACE ALL THE SUSPENSION PARTS AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE UNUSUAL PROBLEM THAT ONLY I AM HAVING.

WHILE DRIVE MY 2012 FORD F-250 AT SPEEDS OF 65+, THE STEERING WHEEL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. THE VIDEOS FOUND ON YOUTUBE REPLICATE IT CORRECTLY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT OTHER DAMAGE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED TO MY TRUCK. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I'VE BOUGHT AN ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR AND TRIED MANY DIFFERENT TIRES COMBINATIONS. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION.

ABOVE ABOUT 40MPH, VERY STRONG SHAKING IN STEERING THAT IS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED UNLESS I SLOW DOWN. VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THESE TRUCKS AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING IT FOR YEARS. I FINALLY DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

WHEN DRIVING ON I95 (INTESTATE) AT A NOMINAL 65-70 MPH SPONTANEOUSLY, THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING AND AS TIME PROGRESSES IT GETS SO BAD IT MAKES THE TRUCK VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. DURING THE EVENT THE FIRST REACTION IS TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN A LANE WHILE BRAKING. THAT EXACERBATES THE VIOLENCE OF THE SHAKING UNTIL BELOW 30 MPH. THIS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORST OVER A WEEKS TIME. MOST RECENTLY IT ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION WITH A LARGE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE DEALER REPAIRED SOMETHING AT NO COST UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I MUST PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR SOMETHING I BELIEVE IS A SIGNIFICANT DESIGN PROBLEM AND SAFETY HAZARD.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CERTAIN BUMPS WILL SET OFF A RESONANCE IN THE FRONT AXLE AND STEERING SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE FRONT WHEELS OSCILLATE HORIZONTALLY. THIS HAS HAPPEND ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVENTHOUGH I HAVE PAID THE DEALER FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT WERE SUPPOSED RESOLVE THE ISSUE. FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE IN A MANNER THAT WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEREFORE, I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES AND IS EXHIBITING THE STEREO TYPICAL DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50 MPH ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD MAY PRODUCE AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHUDDER. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW UNTIL THE TRUCK STOPS SHAKING. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK ALIGNED TO VERIFY THE SERVICEABILITY OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS. I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 SHOCKS AND ENSURED THAT MY TIRES ARE PROPERLY BALANCED. TIRES ARE WEARING CONSISTENTLY AND HAVE BEEN REGULARLY ROTATED AND BALANCED. WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE TRUCK IS SEVERELY DEGRADED AND I AM AFRAID THE SITUATION COULD PROVE CATASTROPHIC.

I'M GETTING READY TO PURCHASE A STEERING STABILIZER TO TRY BUT I'M RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS AND MONEY TO SINK IN TRUCK BUT IT HAS TO BE FIXED. AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY CHARGE PREMIUM PRICES FOR THEIR PRODUCTS BUT MINE HAS TO SET AT THE HOUSE OR TRAVEL BACK ROADS TO STAY SAFE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 65 SOUTH FROM MONTGOMERY, AL HEADED HOME TO DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, FL, WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE THAT HAD BUMPS IN THE ROAD FROM WHAT I THINK WERE WHERE BRIDGE ROAD SECTIONS. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE OF A FOUR PART OF THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN I FELT THE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2012 FORD F250 FX4 STARTED A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK SO BAD I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE! I THOUGHT THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK WAS COMING LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE! I COULD BARELY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL! I REDUCED SPEED AS QUICKLY AS I COULD AS I MANEUVERED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE FAR RIGHT. THANK GOD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT! A POLICEMAN STOPPED TO ASSIST ME ONCE I HAD THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE AND I TOLD HIM I WAS ALREADY SEARCHING FOR THE NEAREST FORD DEALERS FOR HELP. LOCAL DEALERS WERE TELLING ME I WOULD NEED TO HAVE SEVERAL FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS REPLACED, BUT WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS AND BE SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD DO WORK. I GOOGLED WHAT HAPPENED AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS HAPPENING AT AN ALARMING RATE FOR A LOT OF FORD F250 AND F350 TRUCK OWNERS. IT IS CALLED THE "THE FORD F250/F350 DEATH WOBBLE"! APPARENTLY THIS IS A FORD DESIGN DEFECT THAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN AT ANY MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO TRY TO SLOWLY DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK TO OUR HOME IN DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, FL AND WAS ABLE TO DO SO. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE OKAY AFTER THE INCIDENT AS I DROVE BACK HOME AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE BEEN FEARFUL SINCE TO DRIVE MORE THAN 60MPH WITH IT AND MY WIFE WIL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYMORE!

NOW, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT END TWICE WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. THE TRUCK NOW SHAKES SLIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT SPEED.

MY FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY STARTED WHAT MANY REFER TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 65,000 MILES. THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS OCCURRED WHEN MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK (WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) TO VISIT COLLEGES. WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (78 MPH) WE WENT OVER A CONCRETE TO ASPHALT TRANSITION AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTED VIOLENTLY BOUNCING OR WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH LIKE A SHOPPING CART WHEEL WOULD. SHE OBVIOUSLY PANICKED AND I HAD TO TELL HER TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO 25 MPH (ON A HIGHWAY) TO REGAIN CONTROL. WE ENDED UP IN MEDIAN AS THERE WAS TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DURING THE EVENT. THIS PARTICULAR TRIP WAS FROM HOUSTON TO LUBBOCK AND I DROVE THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP TO AND FROM EXPERIENCING THE SAME DEATH WOBBLE ANOTHER 4 TIMES. I TOOKE THE TRUCK IN AND HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS PUT IN AND CONDITION CONTINUED. RETURNED THE TRUCK TO LEGACY FORD IN ROSENBERG, TX FOR FIX AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

MY 2012 F-250 HAS 126,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A STEERING VIBRATION AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS AND ROUGH ROADS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AND DROVE OVER SOME ROUGH AREAS IN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD LITTLE CONTROL AND ALMOST WENT OFF THE SIDE OF OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH HAS ABOUT A 2000 FOOT DROP. I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP BUT GOT IT SLOWED DOWN AND THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED. THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE ABOUT FORD'S F-250 "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM CERTAIN THIS IS WHAT I EXPERIENCED AND HAVE CHECKED THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND FOUND NO OBVIOUS PROBLEM. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'M SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY TALK OF A RECALL. I AM A RETIRED ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE TRAC BAR & BALL JOINT WEARING PREMATURELY AND NOT ENOUGH POSITIVE CASTER WHICH IS NON ADJUSTABLE FOR THIS MODEL. I CAN SEE THESE COMPONENTS POSSIBLY CAUSING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE S KILLED!

I REPLACE ALL SHOCKS AND STEERING DAMPENER, STILL HAD WOBBLE AFTER WARDS. FORDS ANSWER IS TO CARRY WEIGHT IN THE REAR, AND NOT TO DRIVE ABOVE 60 MPH. THIS IS UNSAT. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THE CASTER SETTING WHICH IS NOT ADJUSTABLE IS ONLY 1 DEGREE FORWARD AND NEEDS TO BE 3 DEGREES FORWARD. FORD SAYS THIS MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN IN A PARKING LOT. PLEASE HELP FORD DO AM RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IN ALL 8 OF MY WOBBLES THREE I CAME ACROSS THE CENTER LANE BEFORE I COULD STOP AND THE OTHERS OFF ROAD IN THE DITCH.

I PULLED OVER TO CHECK FRONT WHEELS WITH NOT NOTICING ANYTHING WRONG STARTED DRIVING AND WOBBLE WAS GONE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED DOING MORE OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT ANY SPEED. I SPOKE WITH THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. WHEN YOU SPEND $65,000.00 AND THIS HAPPENS THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE SENDING OUT RECALL NOTICES. THE MANUFACTURE KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND CHANGED IT ON NEWER VEHICLES SO THEY MUST KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. LET'S HOPE NO ONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUS INJURED FROM THE DEATH WOBBLE.

FORD F250 TRUCK - FRONT END SUSPENSION AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE PROBLEMS. SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR 2016, @ 90K MILES, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, TRAVELING AROUND 50 MPH, THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON MY FORD F250 STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 20 TIMES OR SO. THE WOBBLE WAS SO SERIOUS AND SCARY. I WOULD HAVE TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A STRONG GRAB, TO KEEP MY TRUCK ON THE ROAD. OTHER VEHICLES AROUND MINE, WOULD SCATTER OUT OF MY WAY. ON OCTOBER 17, 2016, I HAD THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED AND THE TRACK BAR BALL REPLACED, COSTING $361.71. "DEATH WOBBLE", WAS STILL HAPPENING. LAST MONTH ON NOVEMBER 14, 2016, I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON THE SUSPENSION PROBLEM - "DEATH WOBBLE". REPAIRS INCLUDED, BAR - FRONT SUSPENSION TI, JOINT ASY - BALL, NUT, END ASY - DRAG LINK ROD, ROD, ROD ASY - DRAG LINK, ADJUSTER ASY @ 2, ALL REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS. REPLACE DRAG INK AND END, INSTALL ADJUSTERS FOR CASTOR, FRONT END ALIGNMENT (4 WHEEL DRIVE). THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAS EVEN AWARE OF THIS EXISTING PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F250 SUSPENSION, FROM PREVIOUS COMPLAINS AND REPAIRS. MY REPAIR COST WAS $1205.07. NOW MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT LOCK IN ON THE FRONT END. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, TAKING MY TRUCK BACK TO FORD DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. A RECALL SHOULD AND MUST BE MANDATORY FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS ISSUE WILL END UP KILLING SOMEONE (IF, IT HAS NOT ALREADY) IF, A RECALL IS NOT ORDERED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY ROADS THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL START TO WOBBLE AND VIBRATE TO A POINT WHERE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST LOST. THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE WOBBLE/VIBRATION IS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, POT HOLES OR WASHBOARD ROADS. MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F250S AND IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE EVENT. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE THIS OCCUR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL DAYS LATER. I ONLY HAVE 28K MILES ON IT. MY FRIEND LATER TOLD ME THIS WAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND THAT HE HAD IT ON HIS F250-2012. HE SAID IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF A SUSPENSION BAR(TRACK BAR) ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WHICH I HAD DONE. NO FURTHER PROBLEM HAVE BEEN NOTED SINCE REPLACED..1 WEEK AGO. THE SHOP WHERE I HAD THE WORK DONE SAID THEY HAVE FIXED ABOUT 70 TRUCKS AND IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN WHEN THE BALL JOINT ON THE BAR WEARS OUT AGAIN.

I COULD NOT STEER DO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN QUICKLY AND OVER ONTO THE MEDIAN. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AROUND AND UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET UP TO SPEED AND MERGE BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. AFTER GETTING UP TO ABOUT 50 MPH IT SMOOTHED OUT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND HAD THE WHEELS REBALANCED AND THE FRONT CHECKED WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS ABOUT 4 OR 5 MORE TIMES SINCE AND IT ALWAYS AFTER YOU GO OVER A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL IT AND YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO STEER IT. THIS CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH!!! I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND SOMETIMES THERE IS A LONG DELAY WHERE THE THROTTLE IS PUSHED DOWN AND THE TRUCK DOES NOTHING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS, THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN INTERSECTIONS AND CAN CAUSE YOU TO BE STRUCK IN THE SIDE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION BODY AND THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM... *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2012 F-250 LARIAT 6.7 LITER DIESEL AND I STARTED HAVING WHAT SOME MAY CALL A "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY FRONT END SOMETIMES IT'S NOT THAT BAD BUT AT OTHER TIMES FROM 40-60MPH IT GETS SO BAD I HAVE TO PULL OVER. I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH IT AND IM EVEN AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT SOMETHING BAD MAY HAPPEN ONE DAY. FORD DELIBERATELY REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TRIES TO OFFER BANDAIDS FOR THE PROBLEM I NEED THIS FIXED BECAUSE I DIDN'T SPEND 70K ON A TRUCK THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE A LAWSUIT I JOIN A LAWSUIT AND GET THIS MATTER TAKEN ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE'S HEADS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING JUST BY LOOKING ONLINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE 400 JUST EAST OF AUGESTA KANSAS THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A "DEATH WOBBLE". IT IS CALLED BY OTHER NAMES AS WELL, THE STEERING STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE AND HAVE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP. THIS WAS THE SECOND IT IN THREE WEEKS IT HARDENED. IT IS AT THE DEALS HIP NOW AND CAN NOT FIND THE CAUSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THE MODEL OF TRUCK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. FORD MUST TAKE ACTION AND NOT WAIT AS LONG AS JEEP TOOK TO ADMIT THEIR IS THE PROBLEM I ORDER TO FIX. *TR

NEW 2012 FORD F250, SUPER DUTY, 4X4, CREW CAB TRUCK, PURCHASED 11/2013. APPROX. 1 MONTH PRIOR, THE TRUCK BEGAN HAVING A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (75% HIGHWAY DRIVING, 25% CITY). THE VIBRATION GOT WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF A DAY. THE 2ND DAY THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE EXHIBITED A LARGE BULGE (TREAD SEPARATION) ON THE INSIDE TWO TREAD GROOVES. FORD REPLACED THE TIRE, WITH ANOTHER OF THE SAME BRAND AND MODEL. ON 6/30/2014, THE FRONT DRIVER TIRE, WITH NO WARNING, DEVELOPED THE SAME ISSUE, A LARGE BULGE IN THE INSIDE TREAD GROOVES. THE TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC LT275/65R18 123/120S TIRES, DOT# A3B9 479B 2511. BOTH TIRES HAD VERY LITTLE TIRE WEAR AND THE WEAR WAS EVEN ACROSS THE TIRE SURFACE, THE TIRES SHOWED NO SIGN OF POTENTIAL FAILURE. I DID GET TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE SECOND FAILED TIRE, THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY DAMAGE EXCEPT THE CORD SEPARATION WHICH WAS NOT VISIBLE FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE; I DID TAKE PHOTOS. I CONTACTED FORD'S CORPORATE NUMBER AND AWAITING A CALL FROM THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER, AND REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER IN REFERENCE TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN. FORD DID STATE THEY WOULD CONTACT NHTSA; FORD REFERENCE NUMBER CAS04645143-Z4T8T9. EACH TIME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CONTINENTAL TIRE UNDER WARRANTY FORD HAS TO LOCATE THE TIRE AND IT IS NOT EASY TO LOCATE. IN ADDITION, EVERY NEW FORD F250 ON THE DEALERS LOT HAS ANOTHER NAME BRAND TIRE, WHICH I BELIEVE INDICATES FORD HAS ISSUE WITH THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. I SEARCHED THE NHTSA DATA BASE AND FOUND ALMOST THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT; NHTSA ID# 10568111. I ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIRE MODEL. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CONTINENTAL, CASE #[XXX], THE CALL TAKER READ FROM A SCRIPT AND COULD OFFER NO HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2014: ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY, TEMPERATURE 75 DEGREES. EXTREMELY DRAMATIC WHEEL WOBBLING. TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, DROVE OVER SEVERAL SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD WHEN THE SHAKING AND WOBBLING STARTED. TRUCK STARTED VEERING INTO LEFT LANE OF INTERSTATE. WE THOUGHT OUR WHEELS WERE COMING OFF DUE HOW VIOLENT THIS ACTION WAS. GENTLY APPLIED BRAKES, AND SHAKING/WOBBLING SUBSIDED AROUND 30 MPH AND PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. FIRST THING ACCOMPLISHED WAS GOING AROUND AND CHECKING EACH TIRE TO SEE IF THEY WERE LOOSE. THEY WERE SECURE. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW MORNING, JUNE 17, 2014 AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. TO SAY WE WERE TERRIFIED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. *TR

I WAS SAFELY OPERATING MY FORD F 250 ON A CONCRETE BRIDGE IN PINE ISLAND FLORIDA . I WAS TRAVELING @ 63 MPH AND WAS MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT BEND . THE TRUCK CROSSED AN EXPANSION JOINT AND WENT INTO UNCONTROLLABLE VIOLENT OSCILLATION OF SUSPENSION AND STEERING . THE OSCILLATION WAS SUCH THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ON TO AND MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS MULTIPLE FLAT TIRES OR A WHEEL CAME OFF THE VEHICLE . HARD BRAKING TO UNDER 30 MPH WAS WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO STABILIZE STEERING TO "NORMAL" . THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED AND I DISCUSSED WITH MY SERVICE ADVISER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. I INSPECTED VEHICLE AND COULD SEE NO DAMAGE OF OBVIOUS PROBLEMS . I MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY , HAVE NO MODIFICATIONS TO SUSPENSION OR STEERING ON VEHICLE . THE NEXT TIME THIS OCCURRED 12/26/13, I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 65 MPH AND AGAIN WAS IN A SLIGHT LEFT HAND TURN AND CROSSED AN EXPANSION JOINT NEAR BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA ON HIGHWAY 65. I WAS SURROUNDED BY DENSE 65 MPH TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS TIME THERE WAS A NEAR ACCIDENT AS I HAS A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER BOTH CLOSE BEHIND ME AND TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF ME . ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO BRAKE RAPIDLY TO AVOID CROSSING LANES PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT . THIS IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND THE DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION. THE FORCE IS VIOLENT ENOUGH THAT IT COULD EASILY DAMAGE PARTS OF THE TRUCK . AS A SIDE NOTE , THE FUEL PUMP CAME APART AND SLUNG METAL FRAGMENTS THROUGHOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM IN TRUCK WITHIN ONE HOUR OF THE VIOLENT OSCILLATION. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKING OF ENTIRE TRUCK (REQUIRING DRIVER TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY/ROADS - AT RISK) - SPEED APPROX ~45-70MPH HIGHWAY/OR BACK ROADS. THIS INCIDENT (UPON RESEARCH) IS KNOWN AND CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS ISSUE CAUSES A FULL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE HERE (SEARCH INTERNET ON FORD 250 DEATH WOBBLE FOR VIDEO EVIDENCE - MANY INSTANCES) FORD MUST TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. I NOW HAVE A 2012 VEHICLE WHICH IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ISSUE IS ONGOING AND OCCURRED ON MANY DATES MANY TIMES EX. DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MILES HOME FROM GROTON CT TO NIANTIC CT - FORCED TO PULL OFF TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY 3 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' ENSUED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HIT A SMALL SEAM IN THE ROAD AT APPROX. 60 MPH AFTER HITTING THE SMALL SEAM MY WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO A POINT WHERE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. ONCE THIS HAPPENED I BEGAN REDUCING SPEED AND AS THE SPEED WAS REDUCED THE SHAKING WAS REDUCED AS WELL. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER TO STOP THE SHAKING. ONCE STOPPED THE TRUCK DROVE FINE FOR A WEEK THEN DID IT AGAIN AND SINCE HAS DONE IT IN THE TWO WEEK FOLLOWING. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY COULD SEE NOTHING WRONG AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, TRUCK HIT IRREGULARITIES IN THE ROAD. VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED TO 10-15 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY OCCURRED ON THIS INCIDENT. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND TRACK BAR ASSY / BUSHING WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND SERIOUS INCIDENT WAS @ 48,000 MILES A MERE 11,000 MILES LATER. WHILE TRAVELING 55-60 MPH THROUGH A LEFT HAND CURVE AND CROSSING ANOTHER IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD (BRIDGE-PAVEMENT JOINT) THE TRUCK AGAIN BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC WHERE A LOG TRUCK WAS TRAVELING. THE LOG TRUCK WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD IN TIME TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. AGAIN THE TRUCK HAD TO BE SLOWED TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AGAIN AND THE ONLY THING REPLACED WAS THE TRACK BAR BUSHING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE! *TR

TRAVELING ON BUMPY ROADS AT 55 TO 60 MPH THE FRONT END WILL START TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAD TO BRAKE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY AND I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A FORD DEALER IN MINNESOTA. THIS DEALERSHIP PUT A DAMPENER ON THE FRONT END AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED AGAIN IN JAN OF 2013. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SHAKE AND I FEEL IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF NOT RESOLVED. *TR
