 Description of the problemThis submission is the second notice of "death wobble' on my 2018 ford f-250 truck. The truck had less then 14,000 miles on it. It occurred on november 9, 2019. I was merging into traffic on an interstate highway at about 65-70 mph and crossed a bridge joint which caused the front wheels and steering wheel to shake violently. I slowed the vehicle and was almost rear-ended by a 18 wheel semi-truck that couldn't maneuver as it was being passed by a second truck on one side and another merging car on the other. I knew what the had caused the issue as this was the second occurrence in one year. I contacted the ford dealership on november 11th, 2019. They indicated they are aware of the dampener problem. I had them inspect the truck on november 16th at which time they ordered the parts to repair it. The same wobble occurred on november 15th while my wife was driving on a ramp from one expressway to another moving at approximately 55 mph. I returned to the dealership on 11/29/19 and they still didn't have the part. Two weeks later they notified me that they had the part. It was repaired on 12/16/19. They replaced the steering damper assembly, part no. Spo hc3z 3e651 f. They indicated the dampener is part of tsb 19-2274 and due to large number of vehicles with the same issue, the part is hard to obtain. My wife is now leery about driving the vehicle.
