2011 Ford F-250 owner complaints

When traveling above 50mph and hitting minor transitions, holes, imperfections in the roadway the front goes into a sever vibration causing a out of control experience. Must slow down below 40 MPH to get under control. I think this is referred to the "death wobble" continue to replace parts trying to find a solution

I was traveling south on highway 99 in the central valley of california north of visalia, ca. I was maintaining my speed in the fast (second lane) lane between 65 and 70 MPH on a portion of the highway that was recently laid with fresh asphalt. This of course, made the road surface very smooth although there was some transition portions of the road surface with a few rougher sections. Going over one of the transitions the front end of the truck began to shake violently. I immediately attempted to slow down which was very dangerous due to the amount of traffic both behind me and to the slow lane to my right. I believe the other drives saw my situation and allowed me to pull to the slow lane to get control of the truck. Once my speed was reduced to around 35 to 40 MPH, the shaking stopp

I get a violent shake or wobble from front end when I hit small to large bumps in the road. I have checked tire pressure and front end parts. Nothing has been wrong or abnormal. I researched a bit and found this to be a common problem with these trucks. *tr

While driving down the highway at speeds in excess of 60 MPH, the car will start to shake violently! It is forceful enough that you loose complete control of steering and loose the ability to maintain your same lane. The shaking is so violent that I am afraid to put my daughter in the car. I can't imagine if this happened in a construction zone or traffic. I am thankful no one else was on the road. The only way to stop this violent shaking is to slam on the brakes and slow down. This affected the traffic behind me as I was in the left lane. The person behind me almost ran into the back of me because we were going from 65 MPH to about 30 MPH within a couple of seconds. This happened to my truck about a year ago when it had 35,000 miles on it. Ford recognized the problem and they re

When hitting uneven payment at highway speeds the front tires and steering starts to shake. As speed decreases, the wobble increases to the point where the violent shaking will not stop until almost a complete stop. I followed the NHTSA recommendation of 65 PSI and other pressures and it has no affect on the wobble. Imo I believe that as the tires wear down, they have less traction on the road surface which allows for the oscillation of the tires to occur. Putting on new tires is a bandaid for a defective design. I have heard that changing the position of the axle (I believe camber) can correct the problem. This can only be done with shims. In my case, I noticed that the shaking became worse as I slowed down. The natural reaction is to brake when the wobble begins. I decided that

On the 17th of october 2019 driving down the interstate from nebraska to colorado my truck it would hit a bump or seam in the road and it would start to shake the steering wheel would shake the truck was shake vigorously until I had slowed it down to less than 20 it would quit this happened to me about 7 times from then on I just kept speed down get off that I got off the interstate and my kept my speed down to under 60 and it did not happen again I did take it to the dealer to be fixed, at my expense, I bought new tires I had the alignment done and everybody tells me this will fix what they call the death wobble but it was very scary and my truck only has 45000 miles on it! I just wanted to report this problem it is not safe at all I hope it doesn't happen again

I drove over a bridge on an interstate at approximately 65 MPH. The vehicle and steering wheel began to shake violently and uncontrollably. It felt as though all four tires blew out and I had no control over steering whatsoever. I had to slow almost to a stop and pull over on the shoulder of the road. *tr

Ford f-250 crewcab with no aftermarket parts & Ford recommended rims/tires: a month ago I noticed wobbling/shaking similar to the described 'death wobble'. Placed truck in for service and a recommendation for a solution. While driving over 50 MPH and the vehicle runs over bump on the highway, the steering wheel and truck will shake violently. As this so called death wobble occurs I will coast over to the emergency lane and coast to a stop. I have noticed vehicles behind me slow down quickly and I am assuming they are see truck shake violently, too. If other drivers are seeing this death wobble occurring I am wondering if these drivers are taking emergency avoidance actions which could cause an accident to others. How safe are f-250/f-350 to be on the road? The pickup has been the shop tw
