| Description of the problem | When driving down the highway yesterday in my 2018 ford f250 i experienced the "death wobble" at 70mph. I crossed a bridge where it had a dip and my truck steering wheel and front end continuously shook until i slowed to 30mph. If i was in a turn i would have wrecked! This was bad and after some google research this is a commonality with the f250 diesel trucks. Ford needs to figure something out. If i would have known i would have never bought one! This is going to eventually get someone killed. |
