The truck has developed what is called the death wobble. truck has 53,000 miles on it .took to ford at 47,000 miles and they replaced the steering damper assy. happened again today after being on highway traveling about 65 mph. hit small bump and truck started shaking uncontrolably. had to hit brakes hard with cars behind me to slow down to about 30mph before it stopped. not happy with putting my life or others in danger.will be calling ford again on monday about issue.
Driving vehicle at 45 miles an hour. drove over an uneven patch of blacktop road and both front tires started wobbling. the term is called " death wobble".
This truck when traveling over 70 mph goes into a violent wobble and shakes and moves all over the road. especially while traveling over 70 and hitting a pot hole or bridge seam we have been on a major highway with semi trucks around us and the truck starts to violently shake and lose control. we took it to the dealer and they added a streaking stabilizer. one week later it started up again.
At speeds above 45 mph, after driving over rough road, the steering wheel vibrates uncontrollably until speed is reduced. this is happening while in traffic and will eventually cause a serious accident or death! .
On 2 occasions driving at approximately 75 mph - after hitting a minor rough patch in the road the truck / steering / front end began violently vibrate. i thought the truck was coming apart. after stopping on the side of the interstate and expecting the vehicle i couldn't find anything wrong. i thought after the first occurrence that it must have been a fluke. after the second time i realized that something must be wrong so i started some research on the internet. i discovered hundreds / thousands of people complaining of the same thing . . . "death wobble." i testify this is a very real problem and these trucks are dangerous.
I just crossed over 15,500 miles and experienced the death wobble when going over a bridge. will call dealer monday. this needs to be a mandatory recall as the steering wheel is literally jerked out of my hand. i was going approximately 50 mph.
When driving at freeway speeds going over a rough patch of the freeway front end violently shakes uncontrollably to the point of having to stop completely. this has happened several times now and afraid to drive vehicle.
While traveling down the interstate at a speed of 70mph hit a bridge that was raised (rough bridge)causing the vehicle to violently shake (death wobble)...almost lost control of vehicle. extremely terrifying. could have killed my husband and i! after vehicle was dropped to a speed of approx 35-40 mph the truck straightened out.
Steering wheel oscillation, my ford truck experiences the death wobble when traveling more than 45 mph and the tires hits a groove or bump in the road. the only way to control the violent shaking is by quickly reducing speed, a dangerous move when driving in traffic.
I was traveling on a highway doing approximately 70 mph (speed limit). when i hit a bridge expansion joint the truck started violently vibrating to the point i was losing control of the vehicle. i rapidly decelerated and the violent shaking stopped after i slowed the vehicle to approximately 25 mph. the shaking was so violent i was seconds away from veering off the road into the trees. there is a technical bulletin from ford about this issue, but it is not a recall. someone is likely going to die for what is obviously a design and/or manufacturing defect. the technical bulletin from ford on this issue is: tsb# 18- 2268. nthis needs to be a recall.
