| Description of the problem | Purchased 2011 f-250 86000 miles on it. Going home on the highway right after i bought the truck we went over a rough patch of road and the truck vibrated and shook so bad we nearly lost control. Had to stop on a busy highway shoulder and look to see if we had a flat tire. Nothing obvious but brought it to our mechanic anyways a couple days later. Every bump on the road will now cause this reaction and at highway speeds could be devastating. Our mechanic is going to try a new steering stabilizer and front axle joints but i fear this truck has the dreaded "death wobble". Very dangerous issue that ford will not address. |
