STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
ON DEC 2, 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 FORD F-350 (WITH 15,000MI) ON INSTERSTATE 505 AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70MPH WHILE OVERTAKING A TRACTOR-TRAILER. WITH NO OBVIOUS CAUSE, THE FRONT WHEELS / STEERING OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I ASSUMED THERE WAS SOME SORT OF MAJOR WHEEL DAMAGE OR BLOWOUT OF A TIRE AND TRIED TO PULL OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND I DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE SPEED TO GET SAFELY PAST THE SEMI, SO I SLOWED DOWN IN THE FAST LANE AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT BEHIND THE SEMI. ONCE STOPPED I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE. I RESUMED DRIVING WITHOUT ANY APPARENT ISSUE. ABOUT 45MI FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN AT 65MPH. THIS TIME THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEARBY ON THE HIGHWAY SO I SLOWED BELOW 30MPH AND THE VIBRATION STOPPED. I ACCELERATED BACK TO 65MPH WITHOUT THE VIBRATION ISSUE AND CONTINUED MY TRIP HOME. THE INTENSITY OF THESE VIBRATIONS IS VERY EXTREME AND THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THEY ARE HAPPENENING. THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID OR ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL HAPPEN, AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DO IN A FREEWAY ENVIRONMENT WHEN THE STEERING IS BARELY WORKING. MY VEHICLE IS USING ORIGINAL, UNMODIFIED STOCK TIRES, WHEELS, AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND IS OVF RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (15,000MI).

THE TRUCK HAS STARTED GETTING THE DEATH WOBBLE AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES. TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED STEERING DAMPNER WITH AN AFTER MARKET ONE PER FORD. GOT TRUCK BACK AND STILL HAS DEATH WOBBLE. TAKING BACK TO FORD THIS WEEK WITH 21,000 MIKES ON TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT DOES THE DEATH WOBBLE ANYTIME YOU HIT A BUMP AT 50 PLUS MPH

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY WIFE AND I WERE HEADED TO COSTCO AND WERE DRIVING THROUGH WEST CHESTER OHIO. WE WENT OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS ON PRINCETON GLENDALE RD. JUST BEFORE PORT UNION RD. ONCE WE WENT OVER THE TRACKS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO JUMP AND SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT WAS VERY SCARY. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE TRUCK WOBBLED SIDE TO SIDE FOR A GOOD DISTANCE AFTER WE WENT OVER THE TRACKS. THE WOBBLING WAS FELT EXTREMELY STRONG IN THE FRONT END AND CARRIED THROUGH THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. IT ONLY SUBSIDED AFTER SLOWING THE TRUCK DOWN BY LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LETTING IT COAST TO ABOUT 25 MPH. THANK GOODNESS WE WEREN'T ON THE HIGHWAY OR WORSE YET, THAT WE WEREN'T TOWING ANYTHING. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO TOW A LARGE FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE TOWING THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WE WOULD PROBABLY LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE JUST UNDER 4,000 MILES ON MY NEW TRUCK AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS MINIMAL. SO MINIMAL THAT WE WROTE IT OFF AFTER IT HAPPENED. BUT, IT TOO HAPPENED AFTER GOING OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS ON A RURAL ROAD JUST OUTSIDE OF SEVEN MILE OHIO. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND. SINCE THIS HAPPENED I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO LOOK TO THE INTERNET FOR MORE INFO. IT SEEMS THIS IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THE SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. THERE IS A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME THING. MY FEAR IS CONTACTING MY LOCAL SALES DEALERSHIP AND GETTING THE STANDARD JARGON. HAVING THE MECHANIC TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THEN CALL ME AFTER I DROP IT OFF TO THEM FOR THREE DAYS AND THEM TELL ME THAT NOTHING OCCURRED AND NOTHING APPEARS BROKEN. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE ALMOST 4,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH ON A CURVED 2 LANE HIGHWAY I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS CAUSED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE WILDLY AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING BY COMING TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A NARROW 2 LANE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY. AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ACTUALLY CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND WENT SEVERAL FEET INTO THE ONCOMING LANE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE CHANGING LANES. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WHILE I RETURNED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND REDUCED SPEED. THE SHAKING STOPPED WHEN THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 30 MPH. TWENTY MINUTES LATER WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AT 65 MPH AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING RETURNED. I REDUCED SPEED AND THE SHAKING STOPPED AT 30 MPH.

MY 2019 FORD F-350 HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,300 MILES ON IT. ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2019, I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH) WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 NEAR SAN ANTONIO, TX AROUND MILE MARKER 588 SHORTLY AFTER NOON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. I HIT A SMALL, BUT RELATIVELY DEEP POTHOLE IN MY LANE, WHICH CAUSED A JOLT TO THE VEHICLE. WHAT FOLLOWED NEXT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. I INITIALLY THOUGHT BOTH OF THE FRONT STEER TIRES HAD EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THE SHAKING WAS OCCURRING ON BOTH FRONT TIRES AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE AND MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AT SOME POINT DURING MY DECELERATION, PERHAPS AROUND 25 MPH, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I EXITED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD SEE NO DAMAGE TO EITHER TIRE, NOR ANY INDICATION OF DAMAGE TO THE TIE RODS, SHOCKS OR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING AND LATER CONDUCTED A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION, AGAIN FINDING NO APPARENT DAMAGE OR CAUSE FOR THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND WOBBLING I HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN. IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WITH VERY BAD CONSEQUENCES. I OCCASIONALLY PULL FIFTH WHEEL AND GOOSE NECK TRAILERS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHY I PURCHASED IT. IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING A LOAD, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE TERRIBLE.

MY NEW F350 WITH 6K MILES ON IT STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL ON SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND SO WAS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

STEERING
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. IT HAPPENS IN THE SAME PLACE ON MY COMMUTE WHERE I PASS OVER A BRIDGE JOINT ON THE FREEWAY. I AM USUALLY DOING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH. IT SHAKES THE VEHICLE SO BADLY THAT I HAVE TO CROSS THROUGH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONLY THEN WILL THE WOBBLE STOP. THE TRUCK HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE ACTING THIS WAY. I COULD MAYBE UNDERSTAND IF IT HAD 250,000 AND VERY WORN OUT STEERING COMPONENTS.
