| Description of the problem | December 22, 2019 - 16,068 miles. Driving on divided highway, speed between 65and 70 mph, crossed a bridge expansion joint and death wobble started on the 2018 f-250 super duty. Violent shaking occurred and steering was uncontrollable. Wrestled the steering wheel to get the truck onto the shoulder of the road. Braking was also difficult due to severe front wheel oscillations. Luckily there was no other traffic in the area as the truck was uncontrollable. Expansion joint wasn't perpendicular to the highway and wasn't much of an imperfection in the road surface. I'm planning to install a dash cam to record future occurrences. |
