| Description of the problem | My 2012 ford f250 has experience the reported "death wobble" numerous times. You are driving along at freeway speeds (55-70 mph) hit rough road and it suddenly starts a violent wobble in the suspension. You have to slow down to almost 35 mph to get it to stop (dangerous when on the freeway). Now it has started doing it anytime i go over 60 mph. I have previously experienced this and taken it to both dealerships and tire stores trying to get it fixed. I only recently found out that ford has a relatively long history with this problem but don't seem to admit that it is a problem. I have had regular dealer service for the truck during its entire lifetime. I strongly believe ford needs to step up and offer proper repairs for this very dangerous condition. |
