I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON THE INTERSTATE JUST BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I HEARD AN ODD NOISE FELT THE TRUCK FEEL UNSTABLE. I SLOWLY COASTED TO A HALT TO FIND THAT MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. THE ENTIRE SIDEWALL WAS DISINTEGRATED AND THE TIRE WAS DETACHED FROM THE RIM. IT BENT IN MY THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OF MY BED CAUSING AN ESTIMATED $1200 IN DAMAGE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WOBBLING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH ON A BUSY, RAINY, AND WET HIGHWAY TO GET THE WOBBLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I WENT OVER A SMALL CRACK IN THE ROAD. IMMEDIATELY THE FRONT END STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND I LOST ALL STEERING CONTROL. THE ONLY CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WITH THREE TRUCK ACTING IN THE SAME MANNER AS BEFORE; LOSING ALL STEERING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY, SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSING ALL STEERING CONTROL.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING VEHICLE HARD TO HOLD IN THE ROAD. I HAD TO TRY TO GET OVER INTO SLOW LANE TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN SO IT WOULD STOP SHAKING. I GUESS THIS IS KNOWN AS THE FORD DEATH WALK.

STEERING
WHEN MAKING A TRANSITION BETWEEN ROAD SURFACES OR IRREGULARITIES IN THE ROAD SURFACES ABOVE 50MPH THE STEERING ENTERS A HIGH FREQUENCY OSCILLATION THAT REQUIRES AN ABRUPT SLOW DOWN TO REGAINED CONTROL. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN HITTING POTHOLES BELOW 50 MPH. THIS IS REFERRED TO ASK THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND CAN BE SEEN ON YOUTUBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ENOUGH THAT IT IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT OR A FLAKE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND ITS GOING TO THE FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE FRONT END OF MY FORD F-250 REGULARLY WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO SCARY AND VIOLENT AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS VERY CHALLENGING AND DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY WITH OTHER CARS AROUND.

ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY FROM DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY. TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN BUMPS ARE HIT GOING OVER 50MPH. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. HIT A BUMP ON I-25 AND SHOOK ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS ABOUT 6 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK. I KNOW 8 FORD OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT 55-65 MPH, IF I HIT ANY KIND OF A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY BRING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 30 MPH TO GET THE SHAKING UNDER CONTROL. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS, AND THEY HAVE NO CERTAIN FIX, THEY PLAN ON JUST REPLACING PARTS ONE THING AT A TIME AT MY EXPENSE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROX 6 MONTHS.

FROM THE TIME IT WAS BRAND NEW ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU BRAKE TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP, I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AND VOICED MY CONCERN AND THEY SAID FORD WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD INSTALL AN UPGRADED STEERING STABILIZER. I NOW HAVE 16,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AND WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP I AM TOLD THERE ARE NO REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE.

I'M EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVING AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS ON REGULAR ROADS AND INTERSTATES. I HAVE CHANGED ALL FRONT END PARTS AND SHOCKS, GOT NEW TIRES BALANCED AND ALIGNED, AND IT'S STILL NOT FIXED. I'M TOLD THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40MPH AND 70MPH.

STEERING
EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, REFERRED TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HAVE TAKEN THIS TO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND ON THE 4 VISIT I WAS TOLD THAT THE "STEERING STABILIZER" WAS BAD. THEY INSTALLED A NEW STABILIZER AND I ASSUMED IT TO BE FIXED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 40 AT APROX. 75 MPH AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE PROPOSED FIX WAS DONE. IN DECEMBER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 20N04 STATING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON STEERING LINKAGE "ONE-TIME REPAIR PROGRAM". THE LAST TIME I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE NEW STABILIZER HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND THERE WAS NO MORE THAT KNEW TO DO. PART WAS REPLACED AND IT IS NOT FIXED!!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN I OPERATE MY 2017 FORD F250 AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH AND ENCOUNTER A POT HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGINS A TERRIBLE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND RATTLES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A STEERING DAMPER AS PART OF A FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT NOW CLAIM THE PROBLEM WILL PERSIST BECAUSE I HAVE WORN BALL JOINTS AND A DRAG LINK THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST ME OVER $1,100 AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY FORD ALTHOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW AND A RESULT OF THE FAILED DAMPER. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD IS WILLING TO IGNORE SUCH AN ISSUE. MY FAMILY WON'T RIDE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE TRUCK AS IT IS TOO FRIGHTENING FOR THEM. THE SAD PART IS THE TRUCK HAS 25,000 MILES AND COST ME $50,000 AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT OR DEPEND ON IT NOW.
