 Description of the problem2006 ford f-250 experiences a severe vibration between 50 - 65 mph. Specifically noticed after hitting a pothole or driving on uneven roads. Truck is completely stock and has had shocks/ steering stabilizer / brakes / tires / alignment / (replaced/completed) at a certified ford dealer within the past 2 months. Additionally, i had every ball joint, tie rod end, steering component inspected at my cost to investigate the issue. The steering vibration still exists. Forums and other sites have started to call this the "death wobble". Although it can be escaped by slowing down or accelerating through the vibration, it can easily cause loss of control to the unexpected driver. I have driven ford vehicles (trucks) for the past 20 years and this is the first time i have ventured to file an official complaint. Following the service bulletin to adjust tire pressure did not correct the problem. Brand new tires and alignment offered a minor reprieve only for me to experience the same issues less than 50 miles later. People who have experienced this issue need to get specific in order to prompt action from either the nhtsa or the ford motor company. I did not experience this issue till approximately 60,000 miles, sometime after a brake change. The subsequent issues lead me to change the aforementioned equipment in order to resolve the issue. To this point, the dealership can find nothing wrong but the issue remains. To reinterate, this truck is stock, no modifications have been made and required maintenance has been conducted by the dealer in every instance.
