 Description of the problemPlease reopen this investigation. Every person that i know with a ford f250 4x4 has this problem on occasion. Your failure to make ford fix will kill someone. How many people have to die? Date investigation opened: mar 14, 2008 date investigation closed: mar 31, 2009 nhtsa action number: ea08007 component(s): suspension my truck has 60,000 miles now and i have replaced all 4 tires nearly 3 different times in the last 15,000 miles. That's an average of tires last 5000 miles. I have encountered this problem many times, and constantly get a "run-around" that it's the tires. My tires are properly inflated. Yesterday, i was travelling on interstate 45 yesterday at 70 mph's and traffic suddenly slowed to a crawl. I had to apply my brakes aggressively and when i hit a certain speed between 35mph and 60 mph, the truck began to randomly bounce and was completely uncontrollable. I couldn't even steer. I nearly crashed into several vehicles on the road. While the front end of the vehicle was violently bouncing (it bounced so violently it broke a folding down tv mount / mounted in the ceiling of the truck), i hung onto the steering wheel for dear life (like hanging onto a bull 8 seconds) and continued to slow even further, and ultimately had to drive off into the grass else i was going to crash. The death wobble went away when i approached a complete stop < 15mph. In the same truck, i have had this death wobble incident happen over 200 times since owning the vehicle. I have even had this same problem happen while hauling car's on car trailers. It is scary. After market mfrs make claims that it's due to the track bar and bushings and these kits are available to fix the issue, but ford and the tsa denies its a real problem. Before i pay out thousands for a aftermarket suspension, i expect ford to fix this, the correct way.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
