STEERING, SUSPENSION
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.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-350 SD. The contact stated that while driving over a bump in the roadway at high speeds, the vehicle intermittently experienced the death wobble without warning. The shaking continued until the vehicle had slowed down and the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle. The contact notified the dealer and was informed that a diagnostic test needed to be performed to determine the cause of failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was not available.

WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HITTING A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT HOLD ON AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TILL IT STOPS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
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 EVEN AT LOCATIONS WHERE IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
FRONT WHEEL "DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURS BETWEEN 45 MPH AND 65+ MPH (IN TOWN STREETS AND FREEWAY) AFTER HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD, MOST GOING STRAIGHT BUT OCCURS IN MINOR TURNS AS WELL. FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND TRANSMITS TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAB. FRONT WHEELS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO TEAR OFF. TO STOP THE WOBBLE I HAVE TO SLOW QUICKLY TO 5 MPH TO 10 MPH. AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE WOBBLE INCREASES BECOMES EVEN MORE VIOLENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE LANES ABRUPTLY, PULLING OVER TO STOP. THE WOBBLE STARTED AS A MINOR NUISANCE THOUGHT TO BE A WHEEL BALANCE ISSUE. NOW THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND PROGRESSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IS IN REGULAR SERVICE, AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. THE TIRES ARE HIGH GRADE MICHELIN WITH APPROX 32K, HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES (NO PROBLEMS NOTED AT AMERICA'S TIRE STORE). I HAVE A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT WITH FIRESTONE AND HAD IT ALIGNED TWICE (NO PROBLEMS NOTED AT FIRESTONE). I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL, SERVICE BULLETIN, OR WARNING. PEOPLE THAT HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN HAVE PULLED OVER TO TELL ME HOW BAD IT LOOKS FROM OUTSIDE. I SEE BLOGS WITH SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE WHEELS BALANCED AGAIN AND ALIGNED THEN TAKE IT TO FORD FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS.

2010 FORDF350 SUPER DUTY, 127,000 MILES. I HAVE THE DREADED "FORD DEATH WOBBLE", I'VE CONTACTED FORD ALL THE WAY TO CORPORATE. FORD'S RESPONSE IS WE'RE NOT AWARE IF ANY ISSUES, AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON YOUR VEHICLE. MY WIFE WON'T RIDE IN THE CAR, THAT'S HOW COOLANT THE SHAKE IS. I'VE CONTACTED FORD BOTH IN WRITING AND VERBALLY, THERE ANSWER IS OUT OF WARRANTY, YOUR PROBLEM MN. THEY ARE AWARE IF THE PROBLEM AS IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THEIR ANSWER IS YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THE INTERNET. I GUESS THEY'LL TAKE OWNERSHIP WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED. OF COURSE IN A DEADLY CRASH, THE EVIDENCE/CAUSE OF CRASH WILL BE DESTROYED, HOW FOURTINANT FOR FORD.
