| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2019 ford f250 super duty, super crew cab, four wheel drive truck. Drove great until 21k miles. The notorious "death wobble" common to these trucks has started. Driving i-25 last night, truck shook violently after driving over a bridge at 75 mph with loss of any control. Immediately let up on the throttle and allowed the truck to slow under 50 mph and the wobble corrected. Further investigation revealed nothing out of the ordinary with ball joints, suspension, etc. I will be going to the dealership to have this issue corrected. A relatively new truck with 20k miles should be just breaking in, not broken. A serious safety issue that is going to kill people if not rectified. |
