STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 dealership on December 12 to have it inspected. Truck has 118,000 miles on it. This is a very dangerous situation as it occurs at higher speeds and could result in accident.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I was going approximately 70mph on the interstate and hit a bump and the vehicle began to shake violently and I had to make an emergency stop in the middle of the interstate to get it back under control! I’ve been told this is the death wobble. The vehicle has approximately 125,000 miles. This was very serious!

STEERING
This vehicle has developed a severe shaking of the steering wheel at any speed over 55 mph. The violence in the wheel is so bad it has bruised my hand several times. After reading multiple articles I visited the dealer only to be told no recalls existed. I was also advised that the repair would be expensive. After reviewing the NHTSA web site and seeing all the same issues, I feel that Ford should realize and repair the problem before someone gets hurt or worse. The approximate date really doesn’t apply due to the fact it happens every time I drive the vehicle over 55 mph.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, STEERING
I have a 2015 F350 and I have experienced the "Death Wobble" I was hauling my 5th wheel RV and I was going 60 MPH and it felt like my entire front axel was getting ready to fall off my truck. I have my family of 4 in the vehicle. Both of my sons ages 8 and 3 years of age, my wife and myself. It was by far the scariest this I have ever experienced. Ford knows about the problem and still has not issued a recall. I am wanting to file a class action lawsuit.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
This vehicle developed a fuel leak in the area of the top of the engine which resulted in a fire that destroyed the vehicle. I spoke to the Ford Motor Company and they said that there are no recalls or Technical Service Bulletins regarding this. I just wanted to make you aware of my experience so if anyone else experienced this it may show a pattern. Thank You

SUSPENSION
When traveling over 50mph, when I go over an uneven area of road the vehicles front end vibrates violently (AKA Death Wobble). I cannot utilize the brakes to slow the vehicle, I have to let the vehicle slow on its own down to about 40-45mph before the vehicle settles down. This issue has been going on since late last year. Two visits to the dealership have failed to correct the issue. Research on the internet reveals this is a known problem by Ford, yet they refuse to issue a recall.

STEERING
I hit a bump in the road while driving about 55 mph and my truck shook violently. It was hard to hold the steering wheel while it was shaking. It was very scary. I thought I was going to crash into another car. There were no warning signs.

WHEELS
On May 27, 2022, during a routine cleaning of the vehicle, cracks were discovered in both American Force wheel front tire rims . Cracks have developed in both front rims as shown in the attached photos. These dangerous defects represent a risk to the safety of the vehicle operator. On May 28, 2022 I took the vehicle to Discount Tire (a certified dealer for American Force wheels) in Clermont, FL for an inspection and evaluation. The technician who worked with me agreed that my assessment was correct and that a serious and potentially dangerous defect in workmanship or materials was present, and that it did possibly represent a risk to the safety of the operator.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
3 times in the past year my 2015 F-350 truck started to wobble and shake increasingly after a slight bump at approximately 55 MPH. Once it started, it continued to increase instability and control of the vehicle. I immediately slowed and pulled over carefully to a stop and got out to examine the vehicle. There wasn’t anything I could find externally that I hit that would cause the vehicle to react the way it did. I was able to continue driving without a repeat until several weeks later. This has happened 3 times in the past year.

I have had two incidents of the "death wobble" violent shaking of the from end. Thought a wheel was coming off. Pulled off the road and checked wheels. All seemed OK and I continued to drive home without incident. The first incident occurred in summer of 2021 and ford dealer said they installed a damper. Cost was $315. Now in April of 2022 I experienced another, more violent death wobble. I have another appointment with the dealer and I assume they will "band aid" again. I think Ford should recall and fix their problem before someone gets hurt. I pull a 10,000 5th wheeler and am very concerned about out safety at this point. I will upload copy of last year's "band aid" fix. Please advise. [XXX] PA INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STEERING, SUSPENSION
Over 5 times my truck become uncontrollable at highway speeds; 60mph or greater. A seam, groove, joint or other minor imperfection in the road instigates a violent shaking from the front of the truck. The only recourse is to jam on the brakes, at which the shaking subsides and control returns at approximately below 40 mph. As this normally happens at highway speeds, the loss and control and spontaneous braking required takes adjacent drivers by surprise very nearly causes an accident. I have owned this truck since it was new and purchase from Tommy Vaughn Ford. I regularly have the vehicle serviced at Hellman Ford in Stafford, TX. I've returned to Helfman 3 times since October 2019 with this problem. Initially they replaced some components which did not help, secondly I was told I needed new tires and that was the cause which I did purchase the next day which seemed to remedy the issue for 10,000 miles, and the most recent visit after the latest incident I was told they could not recreate the shaking, could not find anything wrong and no action was taken. I have not driven the truck in the two months since the last incident and is available for inspection if needed. Episodes do not result in any sort of warning light on the dash.
