I was driving on the interstate at 75 mph (posted speed limit in texas), crossed onto a bridge and the entire front end began to violently shake and bounce. The steering wheel was turning back and forth. The only way i could gain control of the truck was to slow down and move over to the right shoulder and almost stop. This was almost 10 days ago on a saturday. I took it to the dealership on the following monday.…

I hit a bumpy but normal patch on i-40 at about 65 mph. The truck started shaking violently and it felt as though a wheel was coming off. I lost control of the vehicle as it was extremely hard to steer. I thought i was entering a severe accident and was fearful for my life and that of my two daughters. I braked hard while surrounded by other vehicles and was able to pull over to the shoulder without a collision. I…

I encountered a small bump in the road that led to a violent shaking of the front end suspension. I thought perhaps a lug nut broke off allowing one of the wheels to wobble. I took my foot off the excelerator and lightly tapped my brakes in an effort to slow the vehicle down…

Vehicle begins to shake violently & uncontrollable when going over a rough road surface. Feels like the tires are going to fall off. Dealer and manufacturer both have acted as if they know little about the huge problem. Dealer parts for repairs are always back ordered as most dealership will willingly admit that there is no fix for the problem as of today. I went to multiply dealerships to find honesty and they are…

While operating vehicle under normal conditions, between 25 and 65 mph, the steering wheel will jerk and shake violently when crossing uneven pavement surfaces, such as expansion joints for bridges or overpasses, or potholes. The problem is noticeable on highways and side streets, and both straight and curved sections of road. On multiple occasions the only way to stop the shaking was to slow down below 20 mph, or…

Sometimes when i hit a bump in the road the steering wheel will start shaking violently and become uncontrollable. I have been back to the dealer 3 times and it is still doing it. They acknowledge the problem but dont know what else to try. I have also contacted ford, they were fast to respond to email for a while but have not responded in the last month. I have several videos of this happening, my wife is scared to…

Truck front end shakes violently when hitting an irregular road surface or expansion joint driving at highway speeds - the only remedy is to abruptly brake to speeds around 20 mph to stop the "wobble" and resume driving - this presents a highly dangerous condition due to having to brake so abruptly and potentially cause a rear end collision for other cars.

Experienced violent steering oscillation while traveling straight at 75 mph while crossing a control joint at a highway overpass. The vehicle felt like it was going to shake to pieces and shook until it came to a complete stop. I had no control of the vehicles steering, only braking. I took it to the dealer and they replace the steering stabilizer. The vehicle is already exhibiting wobble after only a few thousand…

General driving at freeway speeds drove over highway overpass that had a slight bump. After vehicle suspension reacted to the bump, it went into a violent steering wheel shake that would not stop until the truck was pulled to the side of the road and stopped. Violent shake also happens when applying the brakes from higher speeds to a stop at random times. The recent occurrence happened while ramping onto a highway…

The truck has the "death wobble". Driving 55 or above is dangerous if you hit a bump, the truck starts to violently shake and must be brought to a complete stop in order to regain control. I've owned the truck for less than 45 days and tomorrow will be the second time it's been to the dealership for this issue.

We were driving down the highway doing roughly 70-75 mph and hit a small bump in the road (almost like a double groove in the pavement). Immediately after we hit the bump, the entire truck began to shake violently almost to the point that it felt as if it was "floating" on the road. The first time it happened we thought we had blown a tire, so we reduced our speed and moved to the shoulder of the road. As it turns…

The same thing happened twice more that day. I called my ford dealer and they had me bring it down. The said that it sounded like the "death wobble". They replaced the steering damper and about two weeks later it started wobbling again. When i…
