STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-10 GOING EAST ON I-10 AND CROSSED THE BRIDGE AT THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA LINE. I WAS CHANGING LANES WHILE GOING ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND HIT A BUMP. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOOK UNTIL MY SPEED DROPPED BELOW 45 MPH WHICH TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS. I FELT THAT IF I HAD HIT THE BRAKES, THAT THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD HAVE SHEARED RIGHT OFF THE AXLES. THIS WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING SITUATION I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN A VEHICLE. I HAVE KEPT THE SPEEDS BELOW 50 SINCE THE INCIDENT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE BUMP CAN BE AS MINOR AS A CRACK IN THE PAVEMENT OR EXPANSION JOINT. LARGER BUMPS ON ROUGH ROADS ARE WORSE. THE SHAKING IS SO SEVERE THAT STEERING IS IMPACTED AND SLOWING TO WELL BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED IS REQUIRED TO STOP THE WOBBLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A VIDEO, BUT UPLOAD NOT ALLOWED BY YOUR SYSTEM.

STEERING
FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS ON PAVED ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH. THE WORST OCCURENCES WERE WHEN TOWING A 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND GET DOWN BELOW 45 MPH TO GAIN CONTROL. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED HAS BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE (I-95, I-40, I-75). THIS IS DANGEROUS ANYTIME AND PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED TWO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. LOCAL FORD TRUCK SHOP HAS HAD PARTS ON ORDER FOR COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I WILL PUT THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD IT, BUT I HAVE A COUPLE OF VIDEOS (MP4 FORMAT) THAT WERE TAKEN IN THE CAB DURING A TWO INSTANCES. THESE SHOW THE MAGNITUDE OF THE VIBRATIONS. THE DATE OF OCCURENCE BELOW WAS ONE OF 3 DIFFERENT DAYS. OTHER DATES WERE 15 AND 18 OCT 2018.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
HIT BUMP ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES NOW. FORD WOULD ONLY REPLACE STEERING DAMPENER. IT DID IT AGAIN AFTER BEING IN SHOP FOR 3 DAYS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN ONLY STOP THE SHAKING BY SLOWING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". FORD REFUSES TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS AND CLAIMS EVERYTHING IS FINE AND IT WAS THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THE AIR PRESSURE WAS TO SPECS. AND STILL DID IT.
