| Description of the problem | I was traveling on the freeway at 60 mph. The vehicle went into a violent shaking after going over an uneven road surface. The vehicle jumped a half lane over and i had lost control until my speed was reduced. At that time i was afraid of slamming on the brakes and losing more control or possibly flipping over. Now this violent shaking occurs every time i hit a pot hole or any uneven surface at 55 to 60 mph. I have taken my vehicle to ford service and they can not find any problem that would cause the violent shaking. After doing some research i found a video of this on you tube as "f-250 death wobble". This video says it all and is based on a stock original equipment f-250 super duty. |
