I just crossed over 15,500 miles and experienced the death wobble when going over a bridge. Will call dealer monday. This needs to be a mandatory recall as the steering wheel is literally jerked out of my hand. I was going approximately 50 mph.

I believe i have experienced the known 'death wobble'. When going 65 mph or more and hit a bump with a turn i'd lose control and my truck would feel like my front tires had blown or shocks had failed. I'd slow down and pull over and the truck looked fine. At lower speeds it does not seem to happen. I've experienced it twice now. All ford has said is i need a new steering stabilizer, that is on back order. They claim…

On three occasion now while driving on the highway at a high rate of speed around 75-80 mph the vehicle started shaking and i couldn't control the steering.

Vehicle begins to shake violently when at interstate speeds(70+mph) when hitting rough areas or entering bridges. Today we almost hit a bridge when it happened. It has happened 4 or 5 times in the month. The only way to stop it is to quickly reduce speed and fight steering wheel with both hands. Very difficult to do this on the interstate with other traffic. It began doing this 6 weeks ago at near 8,000 total miles.…

A few times now my f250 has gone into a death wobble while traveling approximately 70 mph on the highway. It takes all my strength to keep the truck in control and come to almost a complete stop, for the shaking to cease. Dampener was replaced once, and the same problem occurs. It is in the shop again and now waiting a week with no answer. I will not put my family in this truck as it is too unsafe and unpredictable.…
