| Description of the problem | I have a 2018 ford f-250 super crew 4x4 with 26,000 miles on it. I bought it as a certified pre-owned vehicle with approx. 13,000 miles on it. Within the last 30 days, i have experienced on 2 occasions a major shake in the front end. In both cases, i was driving on the interstate at highway speeds of 70-75 mph. The problem occurred when driving over a rough spot in the roadway. After the 2nd. Occurrence, i took it to a ford dealership and they found tsb 19-2392 which outlines updated track bar and directs replacement. Within 500 miles since the replacement, i experienced once again the same problem. I have since learned that this is referred too as a "death wobble". I have searched and found several articles under this term on this same vehicle. Why hasn't this been addressed by the manufacturer by now? My work requires my ability to travel and i see no way how i can consciously consider myself a safe driver to others on busy roadways out there while driving near me should this occur again. |
