SUSPENSION, STEERING
Since June of 2023 I have had instances of excessive wobbling of the front end of my truck. Severe to the point that I've almost lost control. Took it into the Ford dealership in July of 2023. Determined to be consistant with "Death Wobble." Extensive work done and then again in September of 2023. Took it in again. Additional work done by Ford. On October 31,2023 a reoccurance of wobble and taken into Ford. Today, 11/13/2023 Ford could not find any issues and told me to drive it and when it does it again, bring it back in. This is an accident waiting to happen and I'm at a loss.

STEERING
The truck started jerking back and forth(left and right) while driving down the hwy at 70 mph, continued to do so at lower speeds as well. Safety was at risk as it was dark and the truck was jerking back and forth with passengers inside. It has not been inspected yet, it's Saturday night 9/16/2023 at 10:00 pm. No warning lights or alert sounds were activated. This has happened before but did not last as long and not near as violent. The problem seems to resolve it's self then occurs spontaneously days, sometimes minutes later.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
When driving (Once going downhill 6% grade, several times driving level on the freeway and once on a 45 MPH road with ruts), the front end began shaking violently to the point I was losing control of the vehicle until I slowed down. The vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. Safety was impacted by the loss of control resulting from the vehicle violently shaking. I took the truck to a mechanic and he could not see any problems. Other than my mechanic, no one has inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the event. I have dash cam video of the event.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
My truck has what is known as the death wobble. I am having it repaired again because if I hit a bump while I'm driving down the road, it'll jerk over into other people's lanes almost hitting other cars. It's horrible this is the second or third time I've had to repair this and is a well-known issue between 2007 and 2019. Can something please be done about this? This is starting to get a little ridiculous that there's so many cars out there that are this unsaved over the fact that a company doesn't want to pay to fix them

STEERING
This vehicle, like many others has a severe death wobble. I almost lost complete control of the vehicle on the freeway at 75MPH after hitting a pothole! I replaced tie rod ends and took it to the Ford dealer to have it aligned and had them check all other steering components. They only recommended new tires and said everything was tight and didn't need replacement. The tires have over 3/32's wear on them so they could have made it another summer before replacing them. It is at the dealer right now getting new tires but I am afraid this will not fix the actual problem. The problem had been reproduced at the dealer and the mechanic told me it was the worst one he has ever driven. This is a known vehicle defect and Ford will still not do anything to fix the issue since it has not been reported in new vehicles that are exactly the same. There were no messages or symptoms before this occurred and it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am only a 118lb Female and it was almost impossible to control the vehicle

The truck has “death wobble“ or steering oscillation. When travelling on any road between 55 and 75 miles per hour, the truck will shake violently when you cross a bridge, train tracks, or imperfections in the road. You must nearly come to a complete stop as quickly as possible. It is difficult to turn or stop while this is happening. My vehichle has been well maintained and only has 105k miles. The death wobble started at 32k miles and Ford said this was normal. This is very dangerous and unsafe.

On 4 separate occasions over the past 2 months, the vehicle began to shake violently at highway speed, 60-65 mph, after going over a minor rough surface of roadway, The first 3 were on state highways, with the most recent and most violent on US67 heading north through Duncanville TX. The shaking is uncontrollable until speed is reduced well below safe travel speeds and caused me to get to the shoulder and exit the highway at the first opportunity. I first thought it might be a bad shock/strut, but just read about a known condition called “death wobble” which perfectly describes the phenomenon I experienced.
