They replaced the steering stabilizer and the…

Went to inspect the vehicle, upon doing a walk around i checked the tires and noticed that all for tires on the vehicle had splits in the sidewalls. The splits are about a 1/4 to 1/2" from the edge of the wheel near the bead of the tire. The splits are not continuous but reach nearly all the way around the tire following the line of the wheel/tire bead. At initial inspection it looked as if the tires had been cut,…

When hitting uneven payment at highway speeds the front tires and steering starts to shake. As speed decreases, the wobble increases to the point where the violent shaking will not stop until almost a complete stop. I followed the nhtsa recommendation of 65 psi and other pressures and it has no affect on the wobble. Imo i believe that as the tires wear down, they have less traction on the road surface which allows…

We have a 2011 ford f250 super duty diesel pick up with less than 20,000 miles. It is like new, but has developed a serious mechanical defect. Ford motor company has tried up to (11) eleven fixes for this life threatening problem with no success. None of these "fixes" apply on this pick up. Now since the pick up is older than 3 yrs. Even with such low mileage they want us to pay for "trying" out more possible fixes…

While driving at 70 mph on the interstate, after hitting a small bump in the road, the front end of my 2011 f250 fx4 diesel began violently. I had to pull onto the median and slow to less than 20 mph to make it stop. This has been an ongoing problem, and, although i have brought the vehicle in for service, changing the shocks and steering stabilizer, i still have the same issues. *tr

I have had repeated issues with the steering of my truck. I have taken it in to the ford dealership for the last 2 years and have been unable to get this resolved. The issue is known as the "death wobble". I was unaware of how common this issue was until i started reading forms where many people have had the same complaint. I have nearly lost control of my truck way too many times. *tr

I was driving approximately 45 mph when i hit a rough area in the asphalt during a slight left turn. After hitting the rough area, the truck and steering wheel began shaking violently. I had to almost stop before the shaking would stop. I pulled off the road thinking that maybe a tire was fixing to fall off but everything was fine. Now every time i hit a rough area on the road i worry that it will happen again. *tr

The vehicle currently has 22,193 miles on it. It has…
