When driving my 2017 ford f350 pickup truck at a speed over 55 mph and hit a bump in the road, my steering wheel will jerk violently left and right until i apply the brakes and reduce my speed to 30 mph or less. it can occur on a bumpy road, washboard gravel , concrete expansion joints on the highway, dips, or when transitioning on or off a bridge. i've gotten the violent shaking on both straight roads and corners. i have had the death wobble between 14 & 16 times. it first happened when my truck had approximately 19,000 miles. attempted repairs have been done at ford under warranty at 27,969 miles...30,680 miles...35,800miles. my truck now has 40,000 miles and is out of warranty.
There is a serious issue with the steering that my mechanic says is called the death wobble'. i was driving down the road and the steering began to wobble uncontrollably. my front tires are new, steering component all tight and inflation is accurate. i pulled to the aide of the road and almost crashed. the 'wobble' occurs sporadically and is not predicable. it has occurred 6-7 times in the two years i have owned the truck. i am extremely concered as it is my only transportation. my mechanic is saying it is a manufacturer defect and ford needs to address.
While driving on the interstate i hit an uneven piece of pavement which caused my steering wheel to begin shaking violently. i immediately decelerated in attempt to regain control and maintain lane position. it is a reoccurring problem. every time i see a bump, pothole, uneven pavement, etc, in my path, i grip the steering wheel as tightly as possible and brace for the worst. i have researched the problem and seems to be a well known and very serious problem among ford owners. something need to be done to correct this problem immediately. sticker price on my truck was 77,250. that's a steep price tag for a truck that is barely driveable. furthermore, my children ride in that truck. that's unacceptable. ford needs to be held accountable and made to fix their inferior and dangerous design.
While driving the speed limit on the freeway and hitting a "rough" patch, the truck's wheels then begin shaking, causing the whole truck to violently shake. there is a significant lost of control of the vehicle. the shaking won't subside to regain control until the speed drops below 50 mph or lower. the vehicle has very limited response to turning when the shaking is happening. this seems to be similar to what i've heard described as a "death wobble". this happens while driving straight and maintaining speed (i.e. not turning or accelerating or decelerating). this has happened periodically, but always after a change in surface (expansion joint, pothole, uneven surface). i have driven over the same spot with other vehicles, including a ford excursion, and cannot replicate it. it seems to be specific to this generation of the super duty.
Vehicle shakes violently when traveling 60mph or higher on freeways after hitting a bump in the road. have to slow down immediately to remain in control of vehicle. happened 6 times in last 2 weeks.
While driving at freeway speeds i went across an overpass. coming off the bridge i went over the bridge expansion joint and cased my pickup to immediately start an extremely violent "death wobble". i had to apply brake and slow down to 35 mph before it would come out of it. i have made an appt with the dealer that i purchased the truck from new however they were extremely non-nonchalant about my problem. in doing some research it seem that this is a problem the hundreds of super duty owners are having with no recall yet. i feel like if i was not as an experienced driver or in adverse weather conditions i would not have been able to maintain control of my vehicle and would have crashed.
Just bought truck from fred beans of boyertown. truck has very hard shaking when hitting a rough part of roadway while traveling around 50mph and upward. almost lost control of truck. it's has almost like a death wobble. very scary. won't stop until truck go about 15 mph. had family in truck it is a safety issue.
I noticed the steering was getting sloppy at about 35,000 miles when driving at highway speeds on uneven road surfaces and going over bridge joints. two nights ago i was driving at 57mph when i came off a bridge and the truck began to shake violently causing me to slow down quickly and pull to the road shoulder to avoid being rear ended. at about 30mph the shaking subsided. researching the issue on line has led me to believe i have a truck inflicted with 'death wobble'. it will be going to the dealership tomorrow.
The truck does the death wobble (front end bounces side to side) at highway speeds. it's been in 5 times for the same problem, and it continues. i'm scared to have anyone in my family drive the truck.
I was driving on the highway and was going over an overpass where there was construction and hit a bump in the road. the truck started vibrating and swerving out of control. my fear was that i was going over the bridge! i was afraid to hit the break for fear it would make it worse. so i took my foot off the accelerator and as i slowed, i finally gained control of the vehicle. this is the second time this had happened to me in the last 2 weeks while going over an overpass and hitting a bump in the road. i am unsure what would have caused this to happen. i have never had this happen to me in any vehicle before and i have been driving for 34 years. i will not drive this vehicle!!! it is a death trap!!!
