STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END WHICH ALMOST SENT ME OFF OF THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO SLOW DOWN RATHER QUICKLY AND REGAIN CONTROL. THE MORE I RESEARCH I FOUND IT IS NAMED "DEATH WOBBLE". IT IS A VERY RANDOM AND DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I NOW HAVE A $46,000 TRUCK THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRUST IN AND WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, ABOUT A WEEK IN BETWEEN AND IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

STEERING
2014 FORD F-250 6.7L LARIAT SUPER DUTY - 73,000 MILES I PURCHASED IT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. 100% STOCK, NO LIFT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT STARTED A SHIMMER IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD GOING OVER 55MPH. I NOW GET A TREMENDOUS SHAKE, IE PROBABLY THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING BEFORE IT TAKES ME OFF THE ROAD. I LOSE FULL CONTROL UNTIL IT STOPS. I ROTATE MY TIRES WITH EACH OIL CHANGE AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY ALIGNED. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHEN HAULING MY 40FT 5TH WHEEL BUT LUCKILY I HAD A QUIET INTERSTATE AND WAS ABLE TO HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE UNTIL I GOT IT ALL SLOWED DOWN, THIS HAPPENED GOING 65MPH DRIVING STRAIGHT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS / 10,000 MILES. MOST MILES ARE PUT ON GOING UNDER 55MPH SO I'M SURE IT WOULD HAPPEN MORE IF I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS IN CASE # PE18-011. MY TAILGATE WILL OPEN RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN. THE TAILGATE RELEASE WILL ACTUATE OVER AND OVER WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED ONCE. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS TSB 17-2196. WATER GETS INTO A WIRING HARNESS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THE TAILGATE OPENING WHILE TOWING COULD CAUSE A LIMIT TO STEERING ABILITY AS THE TAILGATE CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE ITSELF IF IT LANDS ON SOMETHING.

THE TAILGATE OPENS BY ITSELF. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN PARKED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN MOVING IN TOWN, AND ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS A BASE MODEL WITH A MANUAL TAIL GATE, SO NO KEY FOB RELEASE COULD CAUSE IT. THE TRUCK HAS DONE IT A LOT, AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO IT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 16,000 MILES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE' ON SIX (6) SEPARATE OCCASIONS BETWEEN JANUARY 16 AND MARCH 18, 2019. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. FIVE OF THE INSTANCES OCCURRED ON ROUGH ROADS, STATE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. ONE INSTANCE OCCURRED AS I WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY BRIDGE. THE 'WOBBLE' RESULTS IN A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS AS IF THE DRIVER LOSES COMPLETE CONTROL OF ANY STEERING ABILITIES UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO A SPEED OF LESS THAN 50 MPH. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NINE MONTHS AGO AS A NEW VEHICLE FROM COURTESY FORD IN SAUK CITY, WI. THE DEALER REPLACE WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS A STABILIZER BAR ON ITS FIRST ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW AT COURTESY FORD FOR A SECOND TIME AS THEY CONTINUE TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THIS HEAVY DUTY TRUCK IN ORDER TO SAFELY PULL OUR FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK.

EXPERIENCING A SEVERE FRONT END SHIMMY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE REPLACED TIRES AND ALMOST ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED, AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO CURE IT. HAPPENS WHENEVER I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE TRUCK MUST BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP TO END THE WOBBLE
