SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDOMETER AN INTERSTATE, ABOUT 70, AFTER HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS/POTHOLES, I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKING WAS EQUIVALENT TO HAVING SQUARE FRONT TIRES. AFTER SLOWING TO ABOUT 50 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2018 F250 KING RANCH HAS STARTED THE DEATH WOBBLE AT JUST OVER 55,000 MILES. IT HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 5 TIMES NOW GOING 60-75MPH IF I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE. WHEN IT STARTS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH AND THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED UNTIL I SLOW TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THE MOST RECENT TIME, I ALMOST HIT A GUARD RAIL. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER, BUT TOLD ME THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. I ENDED UP GETTING ONE FROM NAPA AND REPLACED IT ON MY OWN, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK. FORD HAS A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A CONSISTENT SPEED, A BUMP CAUSES THE FRONT END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IF GOING OVER 70MPH, ALL STEERING IS LOST. BRAKE APPLICATION WHEN THIS IS OCCURRING MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS BELOW 25MPH THE PROBLEM FADES AWAY. MAINTAINING YOUR LANE WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS IMPOSSIBLE, AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY IF ADJACENT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAY

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT 75 MILES AND I HIT A BUMP AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AND I HAD TO HOLD ON TO KEEP IT FROM GOING TO THE OTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY, I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF MY TRUCK AND IT ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE IN SUCH AN EXPENSIVE TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY ON AN INCLINE AND SLIGHT CURVE. THERE WAS A LITTLE DIP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I PULLED OVER CHECKED TRUCK AND TIRES OVER. FOUND NO PROBLEM. I PULLED BACK ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN IT DROVE NORMAL. DID RESEARCH AND I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE DEATH WOBBLE BEFORE THAT.

AIR BAGS
MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN SOMEONE SLAMMED ON BRAKES IN FRONT OF US TO TURN, WITH NO TURN SIGNAL. WE HIT THIS PERSONS VEHICLE IN A 55 MPH ZONE AT 55 MPH AND THEN HIT THE DITCH. NONE OF OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WITH THE DAMAGE THAT OCCURED, I WOULD THINK A SENSOR WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED. THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND UPON HITTING A BUMP EXPERIENCED WHAT I HAVE COME TO KNOW AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND PRESUMABLY THE TIRES WERE SHAKING AS WELL BECAUSE I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND COULD SLOWLY BRAKE TO A STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE, AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS DUE TO A LITANY OF SUSPENSION PARTS BEING LOOSE OR TOO WEAK.
