| Description of the problem | I began noticing slight forms of wobble when going over bumps/potholes at 24k miles of my 2017 4wd swb cc f250 platinum. This past weekend i got the extreme version of death wobble (extreme steering wheel oscillation) where i thought i had blown a couple tires at about 50 mph after hitting a pothole on the road. I have never had a super duty do this in my past models going back to the mid 90's. Honestly, it hurt my back and shoulder trying to control it and required a death grip on the steering wheel to keep from changing lanes. Only thing that caused it to subside was slowing down to about 10-15 mph and then it smoothed out like normal. This happened on a freeway and thank goodness no vehicles were beside me. I will not let my wife or family members drive this truck given this issue. This is a safety issue with this vehicle. I am scheduling to take to dealer and leave until it is guaranteed fixed. |
