Death wobble. Hitting a bum at highway speeds and the struck loses control. Have to pull over onto the shoulder for hit to stop. Almost took me into the other lane and hit a car. Very dangerous. Has happened several times.

I applied the breaks to slow…

Always occurs at speeds above 55 mph seeming to result after a slight bump or seam in the road is passed. For instance after hitting a bridge seam at 65 mph experienced sudden, violent vibration that only resolved after the truck slowed considerably. Couldn't…

While driving the truck at a speed greater than 40 mph, when you hit a bump in the road, the steering wheel and truck begin to shake to the point of non control. I've had the vehicle looked at by 3 mechanics and replaced ball joints, stabilizers, tie rods, etc. Nobody can fix it. Ford won't admit anything is wrong.

2010 ford f-250 with a horrible shimmy between 60 and 65 mph. Becomes violent shaking after going over small bumbs in road, and unable to steer. To stop this i had to slow below 50 mph. Currently 82000 miles have had this issue for several months. No one at ford seems to know what it is. Search on the intranet appears to describe it as the "death wobble".

While driving my 2010 ford f250 super duty on the highway i drove over a bump in the road. The truck began to shake violently. It felt like it was going to fall apart while still in motion. I tried to hit the brake but that seemed to exacerbate the problem. I tried to adjust the steering wheel in hopes to align some defunct component. Nothing seemed to help except to let off the gas and attempt to control the…

After hitting a rough spot on interstate 81 my truck started to shake violently. Had to come to a complete stop to stop the shaking. The alignment is now out and the tires need to be replaced after several episodes of death wobble. If ford and the nhtsa does not correct this problem after knowing it they both should have their pants sued off of them and then thrown under the jail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that…

I just bought this vehicle and was driving the highway at 65 mph. I went over the expansion joint on a bridge and lost control of the vehicle. It jumped into the next lane. Thank god no one was in the other lane and no one got hurt. My family and others could have been killed. The dealership said the steering damper was bad. I'm sorry but a bad steering damper when you are traveling 65 mph over a small bump should…
