2006 Ford F-250 owner complaints

The front end of the truck begins to violently shake at 60 miles an hour. Sometimes a bump causes it, other times it occurs when simply driving straight. Have had regular service at Ford dealer, but the issue has gotten progressively worse over the years. Have alerted them of the problem for years. It's all over the internet as "Ford f250 front end shake" or more concerningly as the "Ford death wobble." it's not a tire pressure issue, as I've only used properly inflated factory tires that were dealer installed. Problem has continued to get worse, and the shake has now made the truck virtually undrivable at 60 MPH. Please google the issue. It's real. Love my Ford, but my family comes first, and the wobble is too scary to ignore. Just paid another $2800 to try another fix (track ba

Truck began to have a steering wobble. Steering wheel would vibrate because wheels were jumping on the pavement. Progressively got worse. Currently at 70k miles driving speed anywhere between 30 and 70 MPH, when I drive over a bump, hit a small pot hole or even the smallest dip on the road surface the truck begins to shake violently, best way to stop it is to apply brakes hard until truck reaches a much lower speed. I have been driving behind other trucks that are experiencing it and can see the front wheels shaking hard and quick, left, right, up and down ( vibrating) on the road. *tr

I am having severe vibration and steering issues the this model. I can not drive it without hurting my back. The truck needs a complete suspension overhaul. Should be taking off the road. Very dangerous! *tr

Shimming violently, hard to get the vibration to stop. The whole steering column and steering wheel was shaking back and forth. The front tires must have been shaking also, since the auto along side of me pulled way back away from my right side. I drove over a dip and a bump in the roadway and then it happened. The tires are at the right air pressure. I am the original owner and the primary driver of this vehicle. Also the truck is a diesel 4x4. *tr

1. Traveling on freeways, highway, and public roads 2. Several times a month, violent shaking in front steering 3.

Problems still occurs I am mechanic with about thirty years experience and I believe the steering gears on 2006-07 f-250 2x and 4x is defective. *tr

Purchased my truck last year and was unaware of problems with this truck.whikr traveling couple miles from my home on a paved two lane road I ran over a small gravel or walnut which immediately sent my truck into uncontrollably shaking in the front end my speed was between 30 and 35 mph it was all I could do to get it to the side of the road and stopped.Shaking I got out and looked underneath the front thinking I had a wheel or something about to come off.I couldn't see anything noticeable loose.So I got back in and very slowly continued to my destination.Since then it has happened more times than I can count small hump or raised pavement or even a hole in the road will send it into a shaking fit all I can do is try and get to the side of the road and come to a stop.Im in a fix as this is

I have over 118 pages of repairs dealing from electrical, suspension, engine failure, turbo, fluid leakage, oil cooler failure. Ejectors, glow plugs and counting. They continue to reoccur time after time and dealer will not cover. I met alot of consumers that has the same vehicle and they all are having the same problem. I know that Ford has sued the designer of the 6.0 engine and won billions but will not attempt to assist the consumer. The right thing to do is, if you know that if there's a problem with a problem why not assist the consumer in correcting instead of doing a patch job. They will not attempt to do the right thing unless someone force them to do so. Thanks *tr
