| Description of the problem | While driving my 2006 ford f250 fx4, at speeds between 45-65 mph, a slight vibration is felt. Within a few seconds it turn into a violent shaking motion as if i'm driving on large cobble stones. It has been so bad i have almost lost control on the highway and came within inches of hitting another vehicle. When it starts there is no stopping it, as the steering wheel jerks violently. Ford has sent a letter out that say inflate your tires and if it still happens slow down until it stops. That's not right. This is dangerous. I have to slow down to 30 mph for it to stop. I can't do that on the highway. The dealers and ford say there is nothing they will do. This issue is extremely dangerous due to fords engineering mishap. My tires are stock, rotated, balanced, and aligned, this happens at least once every other week 2005-2013 f250,350 owners report the same issue. Google: ford death wobble, and watch the f250 at cruising speed. |
