A little over 2 years ago my truck started the death wobble. I didn't know at first what it was but after internet searches I quickly came across the so called "death wobble". I have taken it in to the dealer multiple times They have changed a few parts when taking it in, at my own expense, but never have fixed the problem. It is progressively getting worse and is very dangerous to drive. Not…

THE TRUCK HAS THE DEATH WOOBLE. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO WRECK EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. GOING 30+ MPH HOUR AND HIT A BUMP THE FRONT WHEELS AND STERRING WHEEL WOOBLE, VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY.
THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH OUR TRUCKS, IT'S A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM THAT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. IN A 10 MILE RIDE IT WOULD HAPPEN 3-4X AT 70 TO 75MPH HITTING THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, THE TRUCK WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. VERY DIFFICULT ON A HIGHWAY, *BF
Every time I hit any sort of bump on the road (I.e the the lip on a highway overpass approach, or any standard road lip or bump) I lose complete control of my truck, it violently shakes and I have to come to a complete stop to get rid of it, which is dangerous when in traffic, I’ve owned the truck for a year and a half and have never been able to fix the problem, the local ford dealership I purcha…

Was driving on highway on December 10, 2020 and when entered bridge doing approximately 70 mph experienced extremely violent frontend shaking (death wobble). Had to pull to shoulder of highway and stop to reduce it. This occurred again during same trip under similar conditions. Thought something on frontend had broken, but all seemed to be alright upon visual inspection. Plan to take into Ford …
I lost control of the vehicle on the highway due to a "Death Wobble" in the steering system. It threw me into the next lane and I was lucky to survive. This happened on an interstate highway at about 55 MPH. It included violent shaking in the steering after passing over a minor bump in the road and came without warning. Ford replaced the steering damper under warranty. I still get this conditi…
