IT'S CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. 30,000 MILES ON TRUCK. IT HAS HAPPEN TWICE, ONCE AT A FULL STOP, I STARTED CROSSING A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO CONTROL. IF ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING IT COULD HAVE BEEN A WRECK AS I HAD NO WAY OF STEERING. I WAS ONLY DOING BETWEEN 5 & 10 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE SECOND TIME WAS TODAY WITH 40,000 MILES. I WAS GOING 65 MPH DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, WHEN IT STARTED VIBRATING OUT OF CONTROL. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT HITTING OR SOMEONE HITTING ME. I'M NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. FORD REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT WILL IT TAKE, OR HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL GET HURT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON A SUNNY BEAUTIFUL DAY ON THE HIGHWAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE, VIBRATE, AND SHUDDER UNCONTROLLABLY. IT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT IT WOKE MY TWO YOUNG KIDS UP AS WELL SCARED THE HELL OUT OF THE WIFE AND I. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SEE IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I DID NOT HAVE A FLAT. AFTER RESEARCH AND TALKING TO FELLOW PEOPLE IT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS WILL SEVERALLY HURT OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE. I THOUGHT MY NEW 2017 FORD F250 WAS GOING TO FALL APART. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING ON I90 EAST BOUND IN BURNS HARBOR INDIANA NEAR THE BURNS HARBOR EXIT DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 70MPH MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND DANGEROUSLY. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN BELOW 30MPH TO GET THE SHAKING TO SUBSIDE. ON MY RETURN TRIP AGAIN ON INTERSTATE 90 APPROACHING CALUMET AVENUE IN INDIANA I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THE TRUCK AGAIN SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD TO STOP RIGHT ON INTERSTATE 90 AS I DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO TRY AND GET TO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT ANY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. MY F250 HAS 14,860 MILES. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY AND DRY, TEMP IN THE 50'S. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS SERIOUS INJURIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH MY TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT ALSO FELT AS IF THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. I DECREASED MY SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND MY TRUCK QUIT SHAKING. THIS HAPPENED ON 02/23/2020. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK. ONE OTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE TRUCK QUIT SHAKING. THE OTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN A CURVE. THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WENT INTO THE LEFT LANE. I SLOWED DOWN AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING ON 02/24/2020. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND MY TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE A DEATH WOBBLE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF MY TRUCK AND IT HAS LESS THAN 7600 MILES. MY TRUCK IS FULLY STOCK WITH THE 18 INCH RIMS AND STOCK TIRES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AROUND 70 MPH, IF A POT HOLE OR ROUGH PAVEMENT IN ENCOUNTERED THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END BEGINS TO VIOLENTLYSHAKE. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO THOSE IN THE TRUCK AND SURROUNDING MOTORISTS AS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 20 MPH, WHICH IS DANGEROUS IF THERE IS HEAVY TRAFFIC, SAY ON AN INTERSTATE. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS OFFERED NO DEFINITIVE FIXES. A SOLUTION AND RECALL ARE NEEDED AS IF THIS ISSUE HAS NOT KILLED SOMEONE ALREADY, IT WILL. PLEASE FORCE FORD TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND HIT EXPANSION JOINT IN BRIDGE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER. SHUTTER DID NOT STOP UNTIL VEHICLE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO UNDER 25MPH. MY FAMILY WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY A VERY SCARY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY FOR MY CHILDREN, ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. THROUGH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE DEATH WOBBLE AS ITS CALLED IS A RESULT OF A FAULTY TRACK BAR, AND OR THE STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65-75 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WILL OSCILLATE BADLY, "DEATH WOBBLE" TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO ABOUT 30 MPH SO YOU CAN REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK....WHICH I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALER ON 2/10/2020. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 22,500 MILES ON IT. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS TO HAVE IT CORRECTED?? I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY ISSUE ON THE INTERNET.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 70 MPH WE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY (OSCILLATE). THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP WAS TO SUDDENLY REDUCE SPEED AND MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. WE EXPERIENCED THIS 5 MORE TIMES, SOMETIMES OCCURRING AFTER JUST GOING OVER A ROAD JOINT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS YOU MUST HAVE ENOUGH SHOULDER TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD AND VEHICLES BEHIND YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE SUDDENLY STOPPING. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME. THE TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER (WHICH SHOULD NOT GO BAD AT 20,000 MILES). THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THIS REPAIR WILL WORK OTHER THAN TO TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS AND DRIVE THE TRUCK WAITING FOR THE NEXT INCIDENT TO OCCUR.
