| Description of the problem | This vehicle has a serious defect which ford needs to finally acknowledge. When hitting bumps or bridge transitions on the highway the front end begins to shake violently also known as the "death wobble". The only way to stop the shaking is to slow the truck down to about 25 miles per hour on a 75 mile hour road. This is going to cause a accident or kill somebody. My truck is now at the dealership for the 3rd time in less than a year with under 15,000 miles on the vehicle. After research this appears to be a serious flaw with the 2017 & 2018 ford f250 trucks. I see that several complaints have been filed and it is sad that that a mandate is not being issued to correct this problem. This is a serious issue and waiting until someone gets injured or killed should not be an option. |
