I contacted the same dealer to have it looked at again. I scheduled it, but they immediately told me that the next fix…

I was travelling approximately 70 mph and hit some uneven pavement and small pot holes. My experience was very scary and could have resulted in serious injury or death. My research of the symptoms closely matches the death wobble. This is…

This truck is dangerous drive drive, while at speeds of 55 mph and higher it will start to shake uncontrollable. It has been in the shop for this same issue less than 5000 miles ago now it has started again. What is it going to take for ford to resolve this issue? How many people need to die before they admit and fix it?

DEATH WOBBLE
ODI 11307862
Steering · Suspension
At certain speeds, if you drive over a rough patch in the road, the steering wheel will violently shake, at which time you basically lose control of the vehicle. This can also happen when driving over raised pavement markers. The same thing is true when driving over a bridge with expansion joints. In all cases, the truck's steering can occasionally experience a 'death wobble'. Recently, while towing my 5th wheel…

The front end wobbles violently when you hit a bump or rough road. It wobbles so bad that you have to stop in the middle of the traffic to stop the wobble. Took it to todd judy in marmet , wv in july and august, 2019 they told me they can't find anything wrong with it. Just drive it until it gets worse. Ford needs to have a recall on these trucks due to the death wobble. I just want my truck fixed. It doesn't matter…

This causes a complete loss of control of the vehicle. You need to slow down immediatly in heavy traffic to 25mph to get it to stop.

While driving the truck at the posted highway speed, i hit a bump or joint in the overpass i was driving on and the truck started wobbling non stop. This acted like what i read about on the internet as a "death wobble". It was never sever enough that i thought i was going to lose control of the truck. The shaking only ceased after i slowed the truck down to 50ish miles per hour.

While traveling down the interstate at approx 70 mph i hit a bump and the vehicle's steering became violently erratic, jerking the steering wheel from my hands and the vehicle was shaking as if it was being torn apart internally. I had to slow to almost 10 mph before i was able to regain control of the vehicle. This is the 4th time the vehicle has acted in such a manner.
