    When traveling at speeds in excess of 50 mile an hour the vehicle is subject to doing a death wobble when crossing uneven pavement or hitting bumps. The vehicle shakes so violently that it becomes hard to control and has to come to a stop to regain full control. I have this nice truck that i have to avoid interstate travel because of fear of hurting myself or someone else. I have had bearings and track bar replaced,…

    Experiencing a severe front end shimmy, also known as the death wobble. I've replaced tires and almost all front end components. This has been going on since i bought the truck used, and no one can seem to cure it. Happens whenever i hit a small bump on the highway and is extremely dangerous as the truck must be brought to a complete stop to end the wobble

    While driving 60 mph over highway steering and front wheels starting shaking so violently the truck was out of control and nearly caused major accident, this has happened to us on three occasions. I feel this problem is very dangerous and is a flaw in the design of steering, suspension of front wheels of truck, i am afraid to drive this $67000.00 vehicle with 48000 miles. I have taken this truck in and repair shop…

    I was driving at 35 mph on a smooth asphalt city street in a straight line and my right front tire exploded. The tires are 5 years old and the tread was measured at 6/32 on 6-15-17 at the dealer during routine service. The pressure was set at 65 psi at the same time which is the manufacture spec. The tread coming off caused approximately $1300 damage to my fender (not including the tire cost). Thankfully, there was…

I could not steer do the steering wheel and the front of the truck shaking so violently. I managed to get the truck slowed down quickly and over onto the median. I stopped and got out to check around and under the vehicle and found nothing. As i attempted to get up to speed…

    New 2012 ford f250, super duty, 4x4, crew cab truck, purchased 11/2013. Approx. 1 month prior, the truck began having a vibration at highway speeds (75% highway driving, 25% city). The vibration got worse over the course of a day. The 2nd day the front passenger tire exhibited a large bulge (tread separation) on the inside two tread grooves. Ford replaced the tire, with another of the same brand and model. On…

    Traveling on bumpy roads at 55 to 60 mph the front end will start to shake so violently that in order to maintain control i had to brake and pull to the side of the road. This happened several times in a day and i took the truck into a ford dealer in minnesota. This dealership put a dampener on the front end and i thought it was solved. However, the problem has started again in jan of 2013. This is a very serious…
