Have owned this truck for a couple of years and have been enduring the "Death Wobble" over the local train tracks, but I am always able to control my speed. But the other day while traveling down the interstate, I hit a pothole and truck was shaking until brought the truck to a stop. Luckily I was able to get off the road, but this event could have been much worse. Apparently this is a known problem, and it is a shame that the manufacturer has not fixed this obvious safety issue.

Truck randomly has the notorious death wobble when going over bumps. It shakes violently and i have to slow down or stop. Tried to have it diagnosed by mechanic several times with no outcome, this is when I researched and found out a lot of ford trucks have this issue. Is it a severe safety issue and with the outrageous price of trucks, I can not buy a new one. Ford should have recalled this a long time ago

1) faulty head bolts repair was over $6000 involved gaskets, cracked heads, bolts, updates and upgrades. 2) death wobble front end issues (mine are fortunately occurring at at low speeds) however the wobble has caused many front end and steering components to wear out prematurely. Wobble kicks in after sharp turns and wheel will not return to center and when forced back to center it will wander and hunt for center. Usually up till 20-25mph then self corrects.

Recently, while driving my Ford F250 truck, I have experienced the Ford's death wobble' on three separate occasions. After driving over a bump in the roadway, the front end starts wobbling to the point that I have to brake and pull over just to stay in control of my vehicle. When this death wobble' occurs, it causes the driver has to fight the steering wheel and apply braking just to stay in control of the vehicle. It is a real safety concern!!!! recently, I have read several articles identify the problems with Ford's front end and their solutions to fix the fronts ends. As usual, Ford comes up with excuses and not a solution to repair their products. There is plenty of documentation (U-tube video) on-line documenting the serious of this complaint. It is time that your Agency takes a closer look at this problem and see that Ford accept responsibility to repair their vehicle.

High speed wheel oscillation occurred while driving the speed limit of interstate 275 around cincinnati, Ohio. I hit a bump on the exit of the interstates bridge and the steering wheel shook really bad left and right. I had received a letter last year warning me about this condition. I did not think I had a problem with this truck until this happened. I was lucky that I did not crash this vehicle when the oscillation occurred. I researched this on the internet and several other owners for the F250 have had the same problem. Ford needs to fix this problem before someone gets killed!

Hit a bump on interstate truck started shaking violently, I almost caused an accident and had to slow down to about 40 or it was going to shake me off the road, I could barely hold on, brought is it to the dealer and they said it was tire pressure, which was about 70lbs not the recommeded 75, come on that is not the problem. It is still doing it years later, wnet back to the dealer they said it was a brake hanging up and ripped me off for parts, still does it. I have now put on tires tie rod ends ball joints steering dampener, shocks and still does it. I know I'm not the only one. Make them fix this and compensate those of us who have tried to do so on our own because they won't accept that there is a problem.
