STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING AT 65-70 MPH ON A CONCRETE PAVED HIGHWAY. HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF PAVEMENT OR EXPANSION JOINT, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AS IF ONE OR BOTH OF THE FRONT TIRES HAD FLATTED. I COULD SEE THE HOOD SHAKING. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO OSCILLATED SIGNIFICANTLY. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICE. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LIGHTLY BRAKED TO ABOUT 45MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING AND OSCILLATION STOPPED. FORD DOES HAVE A TSB OUT ON THE ISSUE TSB 18-2268, BUT THEY ARE ONLY REPLACING PARTS THAT HAVE WORN OUT, NOT THE HIDDEN ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION PARTS TO WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING 55-65 MPH THE STEERING STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, YOU ARE UNABLE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT. IN ORDER TO STOP THIS YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 15-20 MPH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LOSING CONTROL HOPING NO ONE RUNS INTO YOU FOR HAVING TO STOP QUICKLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHEN IT IS GOING HAPPEN. THIS IS SUCH A PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS THAT STEERING STABILIZER KITS ARE LISTED ON LINE UNDER DEATH WOBBLE. DO YOU MEAN THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD IS MADE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED NEW TIRES. THIS DID NOT HELP.

STEERING
ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55-65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. SLOWING DOWN TO 15-20 MPH WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES GOT THE SHAKING TO STOP. THE VIBRATION IS AKIN TO THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. WHILE I DID NOT CRASH THE TRUCK, IF THERE HAD BEEN A VEHICLE IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME ON ANY OF THE INCIDENTS, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE THE TRUCK VEERED INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE TRUCK HAS 20K MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 16K MILES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AT APPROXIMATING 12161 MILES ON MY TRUCK, IT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD , MY F250 THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED (4-5 TIMES) A VIOLENT OSCILLATING OR SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT OR OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT OF A BRIDGE. I HAVE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE (4-5 TIMES). MY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, SLOW DOWN, SAFELY PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, SLOW DOWN TO 5MPH, AND THEN I CAN CONTINUE ON. THE SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT I THOUGHT THE TRUCK / I WAS GOING TO FLIP OVER BECAUSE OF LACK OF STEERING.
