MY VEHICLE HAS WHAT HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" OR OSCILATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AT 30-50 MILES AN HOUR AFTER HITTING A A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY, NEARLY THROWING MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY. FORD HAS SUGGESTED TIRE PRESSURE AS THE CAUSE. I HAVE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE DOES NOT HELP. THERE 1000'S OF FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THE ISSUES NEED TO BE RECALLED BY FORD FOR A PROPER FIX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH AND WENT OVER A EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT IT RIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP, I THOUGHT I HAD A FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT,NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPENER ON IT AND SAID TRY IT, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ANY BETTER, THEN THE NEXT FIX IS TO PUT ON A BIGGER STEERING WHEEL SO I CAN HOLD ON BETTER WHEN IT HAPPENS. LOOK ON LINE THIS KNOWN AS THE "FORD WHEEL OF DEATH" THERE IS A BUNCH OF VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ABOUT IT AND SOME ACTUALLY SHOW IT HAPPEN. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE FORD PAY FOR A PROPER FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

FRONT SUSPENSION LET'S THE VEHICLE WOBBLE IF YOU HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO SLOW TO UNSAFE SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY OR STOP COMPLETELY. *TR

2007 FORD F-350 CREW CAB SRW 4X4, STEERING OSCILLATION (WOBBLE). HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM SINCE TRUCK WAS ALMOST NEW. NOW HAVE 61 K MILES AND IT IS ALOT WORSE. AS THE 08 AND 09 INVESTIGATIONS REVEALED, THE STEERING WOBBLE HAPPENS WHEN CROSSING UNEVEN PAVEMENT, CONCRETE, DIPS IN THE ROAD, RAILROAD CROSSINGS (AT SLOW SPEEDS). HAPPENS WHILE EMPTY AND WHEN TOWING A FLATBED GOOSENECK TRAILER AND/OR MY 5TH WHEEL RV. THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED BY FORD YET AND THEY DON NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. I BELIEVE IT IS A BAD STEERING BOX?? THEY ONLY WANT TO USE US/ME AS "GUINEA PIGS" TO FIX. THEY TELL US TO REPLACE SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPERS, AND TIRES. I HAVE PUT TWO SETS OF MICHELINS ON TRUCK AND DOES NOT HELP AT ALL. ACCORDING TO INFO ON INTERNET THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GIVEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" NICKNAME. I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO SEE IF FORD HAS TRIED ANYTHING OTHER THAN TELLING US DUMB VEHICLE OWNERS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AIR PRESSURE IN OUR FRONT TIRES. I HAD MY TIRES INSTALLED AND REBALANCED TWO TIMES AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THE TRUCK IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT ANY SPEED AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE OR MORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF HORROR STORIES AS TO THIS PROBLEM. I FOR ONE AM READY TO CONSULT LEGAL HELP. I JUST SPOKE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (COMPLAINT #[XXX]) AND ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND MAYBE I'LL HAVE BETTER LUCK.????? PLEASE HELP AND RESPOND.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
