| Description of the problem | Twice this past weekend, i experienced what the dealership calls "death wobble". The steering wheel and entire truck started shaking violently after going over uneven asphalt. The first occurence was on the highway around 75mph and the second time was at approximately 55mph. It felt like the truck was going to shake itself apart and i had very little steering until i slowed the truck down below 20mph. In both instances, i was seriously concerned for my life (and i don't scare easliy in vehicles). After reading on the internet, it appears this is a widespread issue with super duty fords. Surprised this is happening to a truck with only 33,000 miles on it! I am scheduling a time for the truck to go back to the dealership. |
