STEERING
TRUCK DEVELOPS SERIOUS WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END/STEERING AND ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IS TO SLOW DOWN 15 MPH OR MORE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS AND I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING DAMPER WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE IS IN STOCK CONDITION, SAVE FOR THE REPLACEMENT STEERING DAMPER (WHICH I ASSUME IS OEM SINCE IT WAS DONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP) AND STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL ORIGINAL TIRES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, I DROVE OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT CONNECTED TO AN OVERPASS. SUDDENLY MY FRONT TIRES STARTED OSCILLATING VIOLENTLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE BREAKS AND REGAINED CONTROL AFTER SLOWING TO BELOW 30MPH AND VEERING INTO THE LANE TO MY LEFT. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THAT POSITION. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 15K MILES ON IT. I USE IT AS A COMMUTER TO WORK VIA MOSTLY HIGHWAY ROADS. I CURRENTLY FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT ABOVE 60MPH AND SO I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE IT TO WORK UNTIL THIS SITUATION IS REMEDIED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AT 55 MPH ON A 2 LANE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS AND THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND BOUNCING VEERING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC PULLING LEFT TOWARDS A SEMI. I HIT THE BRAKES AND TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AS HARD AS I COULD ONLY TURNING RIGHT SLIGHTLY ENOUGH TO MISS THE TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE WHEELS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I DROVE AWAY CAUTIOUSLY AND YOU COULDN'T TELL ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED. CALLED DEALER HE SAID OH YEA DEATH WOBBLE. NICE TO KNOW THEY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT. AN OLDER OR WEAKER PERSON WOULD BE DEAD ALONG WITH ON COMING DRIVER/PASSENGERS. SCARED TO DRIVE MY $70K TRUCK!!

STEERING
PROBLEM IS WHAT IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" WHERE YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING BECAUSE BOTH FRONT WHEELS ARE SHAKING VIOLENTLY, HITTING BRAKES MAKES IT WORSE, VEHICLE HAS TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY TO GET SHAKING TO STOP. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR BUMPS IN ROAD.I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 50 TO 70 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. MY TRUCK IS STOCK FROM DEALER WITH NO UPGRADES OR CHANGES. FORD HAS ONLY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER WHICH WENT BAD AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 4000 MILES. THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER TRUCK OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE OR OFFER A REAL FIX FOR THE ISSUE. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT IS CAUSING ADDITIONAL WEAR AND TEAR ON OTHER FRONT END STEERING CONTROL COMPONENTS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. IF ANY ADDITIONAL DETAIL OR INFORMATION IS NEEDED PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE SEVERAL WITNESSES WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPEND.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DEVELOPED AT ABOUT 20K MILES. WHEN REPORTED TO DEALER WAS TOLD WHEELS OUT OF BALANCE. WHEN YOU HIT A SEAM OR SLIGHT IMPERFECTION IN ROAD VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH. IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF AND VEERING INTO THE NEXT LANE OF TRAFFIC HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH WHILE TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL AND JUST TRAVELING WITH PASSENGERS. MY TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALER-REYNOLDS FORD IN NORMAN, OK. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK AND ARE REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER WHICH WILL COST ME $769 PLUS A REALIGNMENT. THIS TRUCK HAS 42K MILES ON IT. THE FORD DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS HAPPENING HOWEVER FORD HAS NOT ISSUES A RECALL AND SINCE I AM PAST THE 36,000 B TO B WARRANTY I WILL BE PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. AT SOME POINT THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND FORD WILL BE FACING A LAWSUIT COSTING THEM MORE THAN A RECALL. I TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT AND PASSENGERS ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR SCOUT TROOP 222 HERE IN NOBLE, OK. PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD. I AM AWARE OF THE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS DEFECT ON THE 2017 FORD F250 MODEL TRUCKS. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING USUALLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 60MPH.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING RADICALLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL FROM THE FRONT END BOUNCING. I HAD TO BRAKE RAPIDLY AND PULL TO SHOULDER UNDER PRETTY CROWDED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT DID THIS NUMEROUS TIMES ON A OUT OF TOWN TRIP AND I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY ON MY RETURN. THE DATE ENTERED IS THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN & HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW.

SUSPENSION
JUST UNDER 2000 MILES AGO I HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED DUE TO THE TRUCK ENGAGING INTO WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE" TODAY I EXPERIENCED THIS DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME. THIS TIME IT WAS SO BAD THAT IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. WHEN IT STARTED, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, BY THE TIME I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN THAT THE D.W. STOPPED I WAS HALF WAY INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER. I WILL BE CONTRACTING FORD SERVICE ABOUT THIS TOMORROW WHEN THEY ARE OPEN.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE RUNNING 68 MPH I CROSSED A STRAIGHT BRIDGE AND ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE VIBRATION/LOSS OF CONTROL COMING FROM MY FRONT SUSPENSION. AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BRIDGE THE VIBRATION WAS SO SEVERE AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED THE TRUCK TO 20MPH. I WAS FORCED TO USE BOTH LANES TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN WITHOUT WRECKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON CONDITION THAT SOME PEOPLE REFER TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. VEHICLE HAS 30K MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. SUSPENSION AND TIRES ARE 100% STOCK.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE LEFT THE TRUCK HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED OSCILLATING UP AND DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOSE ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD BARELY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY UNTIL I HAD SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP. I THEN PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND EXAMINED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY NOTHING WAS BROKE OR LOSE THAT I COULD FIND. THE INCIDENT WAS VERY UNNERVING AND I NOW AM VERY APPREHENSIVE AND DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VIOLENT, SUSTAINED SHAKING ON THE HIGHWAY IF I HAPPEN TO HIT ONE OUR MANY AVAILABLE BUMPS. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND CANNOT BE STOPPED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETED STOPPED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW COUNTLESS REFERENCES TO SUCH A PROBLEM INCLUDING LIMITLESS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. IF THIS PROBLEM IS THAT WELL-PUBLICIZED, THERE IS NO WAY THAT FORD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. MY LOCAL DEALER, POYNTER FORD IN SEYMOUR, INDIANA, CLAIMED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THE FORD CORPORATION'S CHAT LINE POLITELY DIRECTED ME TO YOUR WEBSITE. IN SHORT, I, AND ALL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE, ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE. THIS SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR AT SPEEDS LESS THAN ONE WOULD BE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. I ASKED THE CHAT LINE REP WHAT THE TERM FOR THE EVENT WAS, WHAT PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
