STEERING
WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, I HIT AN BUMPY SURFACE WHEN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS SHAKING TRANSFERRED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND GET OFF THE ROAD THE SHAKING STOPPED. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH ME. RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' LIKE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE TRUCK HAVE EXPERIENCED.

STEERING
WHEN TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, AS BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE FRONT END BEGINS TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE AS SPEED PASSES FROM 65 TO ABOUT 55 MPH. THIS CAUSES IT TO BE DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. LATELY, FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK SHAKE HARD ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY LOOSE GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I GOT NOTIFICATION OF A POSSIBLE STEERING LINKAGE AND SUSPENSION ISSUE. I DROVE IT AFTERWARDS AND IT SEEMED BETTER. WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING IF NOT WORSE. IT IS CURRENTLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT HAS NOT COST ME ANYTHING, YET. IT HAPPENS ON BOTH HIGHWAY, CITY AND BACK ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE IT CATCHES YOU UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER WHILE EVEN TRAVELING ON RELATIVELY SMOOTH ROADS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TRAVELING ON FLORIDA I 95 NORTH AT 74MPH MY FAMILY AND I WENT OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THAT WAS NO MORE THAN 1-1/2" DROP AND THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST WAS JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE VIOLENT SHIMMY STOPPED AS MY SPEED GOT DOWN TO 35MPH. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF REACTION GOING OVER A BUMP AT HWY. SPEEDS. THE FORD DEALER (SUNRISE FORD IN FORT PIERCE, FL.) CHANGED THE FRONT STEERING STABILIZER STRUT, STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM 100MILES LATER. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE THREE LANE HWY.

ATTACHED IS COPY OF WORK DONE WHEN THE ISSUES FIRST HAPPENED AND THE PART THEY INSTALLED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY TRUCK HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DIVING 70 MILE PER HOUR WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK I HAD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP ON A 75 MPH HIGHWAY. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK WHEN THAT HAPPENED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY'LL FIX THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER . BUT THE TIRES NEED TO BE ALIGNED AND THE SHIMS NEED TO REPAIRED ALSO. AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $450. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR FREE THERE IS NO REASON A BRAND NEW TRUCK SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT ALL SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING. I WAS DRIVING ~70 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND SUBSIDE THE SITUATION. THIS OCCURED 4 MORE TIMES ON THE TRIP AND ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY TRAFFIC. AFTER MUCH READING AND DISCOVERING SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE SAME SITUATION, THIS APPEARS TO BE THE FORD F-250/350 "DEATH WOBBLE".

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTS VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKING AND DOESN'T CEASE UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN BELOW 20 MPH. THE FRONT END ALSO DOES THIS IF I'M DRIVING MORE THAN 25 MPH AND THE PAVEMENT CHANGES. THE COUNTY REPAVED A PORTION OF MY ROAD. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55. EVERYTIME I REACH THE CHANGE IN ASPHALT, I HAVE TO ALMOST STOP TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP.

AIR BAGS
FRONT POSITIONED AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING FRONT END COLLISION. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE INCURRED TO FRONT OF VEHICLE - GIVEN THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT, AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAS IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH BEFORE SEEING A STOPPED VEHICLE IN THE ROADWAY. VERY LITTLE TIME TO APPLY BRAKE BEFORE IMPACT.

UPON HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE I WAS ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AT ABOUT 65MPH, STEERING WAS DIFFICULT I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP ON THE SHOULDER FOR IT TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO START DRIVING AGAIN AFTER SLOWLY ACCELERATING ALONG THE SHOULDER THEN MERGING BACK INTO TRAFFIC. I NOTICED THAT IT APPEARS WHENEVER I EVEN HIT A MINOR ROAD DEFECT I FEEL A SLIGHT VIBRATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 FORD F 250, ON SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A WET STREAK BEHIND ME SO I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED GAS GUSHING OUT OF A HOLE IN THE TANK. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA CLOSE TO HOME, SO I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND PARKED IT IN A FIELD, AWAY FROM ANY BUILDINGS TO ALLOW THE 30+ GALLONS OF GAS TO DRAIN OUT. THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS ONE OF THE STRAPS THAT SECURES THE FUEL TANK BROKE (RUSTED IN HALF) AND THE GAS TANK DROPPED DOWN AND WAS DRAGGING AGAINST THE HIGHWAY. I ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE STRAP THAT BROKE
