| Description of the problem | 17 nov 2018, wife and i were traveling sb on i-15 near bountiful, ut going about 70mph when i went over a bump (where the road turns into a bridge). The vehicle immediately started to do a death wobble and we lost control of the vehicle. Breaks were very sluggish due to the front tires not making contact with the road. We were able to regain control and pull over and inspect the tires to find nothing wrong. We took the truck to les schwab where they informed us that we have several loose and broken parts. The dealers were closed or unable to get us in on saturday. The truck is a 2017 f-250 crew cab, 100% stock. If i was pulling a trailer, i would have lost complete control and would have been in an accident. This is a major safety issue if this truck cannot go down a highway without a death wobble. Someone of lesser driving skill will not know what to do and this truck could kill someone. Video of the event: https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=jqftgqkdkpg you can see in the video that as soon as i cross over the bridge, the truck reacts to it and starts to violently shake. The hood can clearly be seen vibrating and the dash cam records and saved the event as a crash. |
