| Description of the problem | 2014 ford f-250 6. 7l lariat super duty - 73,000 miles i purchased it about 55,000 miles. 100% stock, no lift or anything like that. It started a shimmer in the front end of the vehicle when going over small bumps in the road going over 55mph. I now get a tremendous shake, ie probably the "death wobble" and have to slow down to 20mph for it to stop shaking before it takes me off the road. I lose full control until it stops. I rotate my tires with each oil change and always make sure it is properly aligned. Once it happened when hauling my 40ft 5th wheel but luckily i had a quiet interstate and was able to hold on for dear life until i got it all slowed down, this happened going 65mph driving straight. This has now happened 5 times in the last 9 months / 10,000 miles. Most miles are put on going under 55mph so i'm sure it would happen more if i was driving at higher speeds. This issue is definitely not normal and needs to be addressed by ford before someone gets hurt. |
