Loss of control when driving on bumpy section of freeway, due to extreme shaking of front end. It seem to amplify in the severity and violence of the shaking until I was able to slow the truck to under 10 miles an hour on the shoulder of the road to regain control. I have had the truck in shop at the dealer 3 to 4 times for repair for this recurring problem. The Ford service technician admitted that this was a common problem for this make and model but that neither Ford or the dealer would take responsibility for the repair. But, they did however have a recommended fix, which I found interesting for an issue that they said didn't exist. I have spent thousands of dollars at the dealer to fix what is obviously a design and manufacturing flaw. This is a very dangerous vehicle to drive. We b

When hitting a rough spot in the road or especially when crossing a bridge expansion joint at highway speed, the truck develops a terrifying, violent shaking/vibration and the only way to stop it is to slow down to 25 - 30mph, which is very dangerous when driving on freeways surrounded by other vehicles. My wife refuses to ride in the vehicle on the highway after experiencing the "death wobble".. The truck has had various steering and suspension components replaced with high quality aftermarket parts including shock absorbers and steering damper with no change in what has been called the "death wobble". This is an intermittent problem and does not happen each and every time when hitting a bump or crossing a bridge joint. Multiple technicians have been unable to duplicate the problem EV

While on highway, experienced an uncontrolled suspension vibration commonly know as the death wobble. It required me to slow down to 25mph on the highway to stop the uncontrollable vibration. This led to a chaotic situation with cars and trucks around me at the time.

Two to three weeks ago while driving on the highway in my Ford f350 srw, $wd, crew cab truck I went over a bridge. Went I came off the bridge and went over a little bump my vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. First I was yanked to the left and then I was able to steer it to the right. I could not control the vehicle until I was in the breakdown lane. I was almost struck by two tractor trailers who, by the grace of god where paying attention and braked before colliding with me! The shaking was so violent that my arms hurt for two days after. It has now happened three times to me, I have an appointment at the Ford dealer who really doesn't know what to do but "try" different things.

Throwing a code for high rail pressure. Vehicle is stock with less than 90,000 miles on it.

Railroad hyrail vehicle equipped, after market, with hyrail wheel assemblies which allow the vehicle to operate on railroad tracks. Once hyrail (flanged) wheels are retracted, the vehicle is operated over the highways and public roads like any other vehicle. On or about 5/15/12 near newcastle, wy, railroad employee was operating hyrail-equipped vehicle on public roadway when it struck a cow at approx. 18-20 MPH. Vehicle struck cow with right front end, spinning the cow around to strike the side of the pickup also. Steering wheel (frontal) airbags did not deploy, but other (side) airbag(s) did deploy. Concern is that the installation of hyrail wheel assemblies might be impacting the airbag sensor. The hyrail wheel assemblies extend approx. One foot of steel framework ahead of the front

Driver's factory floor mat "creeping" up over the accelerator causing the accelerator to stick down and the vehicle racing out of control. This has happened at least 8 times & had to reach down to jerk the mat back. I contacted reuther Ford, mike bowen, & he acknowledged that this was not the first report to him from a customer, but Ford has not addressed this as of yet. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed before it results in a death of a pedestrian. *tr
