| Description of the problem | My ford f250 , at about 20k miles started death wobble when driving above 65mph and hitting a series of bumps in the road or coming onto or off of a bridge. The truck will start a violent front end shake and will not stop until you slow down below 35 mph. I had the truck repaired under warranty at 28k miles. At that time ford was pretty nonchalant about it when i inquired. Once it was fixed, the front end never felt the same as it did new. The problem eventually returned. I am having the same problem again at 57k miles. I took it back to my dealership and was told it needs parts that are on backorder and they would call me when the parts were available. I drive 50 miles to work every day and the truck does this at least 3-4 times per week. If you google ford f250 death wobble you will see this is a big problem that ford is ignoring. This needs immediate action before someone gets injured or worse. |
