SUSPENSION, WHEELS, STEERING
When traveling at about 55 mph I hit a rough patch in the road on Missouri Hwy 30. The truck started shaking, shimming, bouncing, and wobbling severely, and kept on doing so for an extended period of time and distance traveled. I'm guessing another 100 yards or so. I was able to keep control, but had to slow down and pull over to get it stopped and to get my self calmed down too. It has not happened again as dramatically, but I've been very carefully avoiding road hazards. It does shake more than usual with any unevenness in the pavement. The dealers locally say 6-8 weeks to get an appointment to look at it. Ridiculous!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE. I experienced the death wobble for the first time a few days ago on a road that I drive twice a day. This road has bumps in the road when you are heading west, but I was heading east and have never experienced any kind of steering issue when traveling that direction. The truck started shaking as the front springs and shock absorbers were fighting against each other. The steering wheel was uncontrollable. The only way to stop the wobble was to slow down to a near stop. Ford needs to issue a recall on this issue, as it is a safety hazard to the driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road.

SUSPENSION, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We had previously experienced severe shaking when driving at freeway speeds. We took the pickup to a dealership and the replaced the drag link at no cost and we paid to have tie rod ends replaced which they said would fix the issue. We took our first road trip in the vehicle this weekend and the problem is rven more frequent and severe. We almost had 3 accidents because the truck is very difficult to steer once the vibration starts.

SUSPENSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Truck randomly has the notorious death wobble when going over bumps. It shakes violently and i have to slow down or stop. Tried to have it diagnosed by mechanic several times with no outcome, this is when I researched and found out a lot of ford trucks have this issue. Is it a severe safety issue and with the outrageous price of trucks, I can not buy a new one. Ford should have recalled this a long time ago

On 03/15/2022 if just had my first experience with the "Ford Death Wobble" at 70mph on interstate 64 in Virginia, I was able to control this with out damage to other cars on the interstate and was able to pull the truck onto the shoulder and stop. After researching last night online I was able to find this has been an on going problem for Ford. I purchased this vehicle new in November 2019 and according to the tags this truck just left the factory in October 2019. Looks like that Ford contacted dealers about the problems for repairs and stated that letters would be sent to owners, but in my case no letter was sent and my address has not changed in 28 years. They had extended the warranty on the front end to 3years or 100,000 miles for repairs. But here is the problem unless you hit a seam or pothole at high speed you will not know about this problem and I need to travel to my job ever day 200 miles round trip and this was the first time this happen to me with the death wobble and currently I have 107,000 miles on this truck and this Ford problem more than likely will not be covered under Ford CSP warranty since this is not a "Recall" this is VERY DANGEROUS!

Death wobble. Vehicle is very dangerous to drive at speeds above 60 MPH on highway specially when going over a uneven area. I have taken my vehicle to a Ford dealership in the past and it was ok for a few months and now it is worst.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I have experienced at least 6 incidents with my truck in which it starts violently shaking at highway speeds. In order to stop the shaking, I have had to either slow way down or pull over and stop completely to get the truck to stop shaking. In the most recent incident, there was a semi truck directly behind me and I was barely able to get to the side of the road to avoid being struck from behind and I nearly went into the ditch. After the first incident, I took my truck to the local Ford dealership and they told me there wasn't a problem when they drove it even though I provided them information about the "death wobble" from sources on the internet. The problem continued, so I took it back and they put "stabilizers" on it. I had no problem for almost a year until it happened twice yesterday. The first incident occurred on 12-25-18.

The front end suspension causes the entire front end to shake uncontrollably then travels to bed of the vehicle. It makes the vehicle difficult to control, and we have had to stop or slow to below 40 mph to gain control.

SUSPENSION
While driving on the interstate near my current jobsite location, I went over a rough surface section of road on a curved exit ramp and my front end began to violently wobble. I have felt it shake a littke on this section of road, but now it has become more violent. This seems to only happen when i hit a bump at higher speeds, but not every time I hit a bump. Maybe 5% of the bumps will cause this wobble, which will not stop until i lower my speed signifigantly

I have been experiencing a light oscillation of the steering wheel when hitting expansion joints and bumps in the road at highway speeds (50-75 MPH). Today when I hit the same expansion joint/ bump, my steering wheel oscillated violently, the truck shook violently and the brakes were not very effective in slowing the truck. This lasted about 3 to 5 seconds. I was travelling about 70 MPH when this occurred and I did not see the speed where it stopped as I was a bit shaken up.
