| Description of the problem | My 2014 f250 has recently had the condition described by numerous others as the ford death wobble. The truck has 35,000 miles and this dangerous condition just started. The first occurrence was on 12/9/20. Second on 12/11/20. Third and fourth occurrence on 12/13/20. The first two times the shaking was extreme, nearly jerked the steering wheel from my hands and could have easily caused an accident. The last two were less extreme but i still needed to slow way down to stop the shaking. All four times this occurred i was driving on straight, paved, roadway and hit a small bump in the road. The small bump set the shaking in motion. Approximate speeds were 60, 70, 65 and 65 mph in order of occurrence. I was driving alone each time this happened so do not have any witnesses to this condition. However, as stated above, hundreds of others have reported this same condition with f250 and f350 trucks. |
