What I have found about this issue and what it is called is a 'Ford death wobble' on the internet.

I own a 2009 Ford F250 Super Duty 4X4 after hitting a small bump in the rd. At 50 mph the whole cab of my truck, the steering wheel and the tires started shaking violently!!!!!!!!!!! back and forth. The truck veered in to the opposite lane. I had to slam on the brakes to slow the truck down to regain control. I truly thought that I was going to lose control and crash.why has Ford not recalled the trucks to fix the problem.why when I bought the truck was I not told that there is an ongoing investigation into this defect and it has been going on since 2005. Must someone die before Ford is made to correct this extremely dangerous defect. Please inform me of outcome of this investigation. Thank you.

The front tires and steering wheel shimmy left to right at highway speeds. It was brought top the dealership from where it was purchased to be repaired. Dealership said they found no issues with it. It was noticed again and brought back to the dealership after I replaced the steering stabilizer. I was told at that point the track bar ball joint was worn and was charged $400 for the repair. The vehicle is progressively getting worse. Now the front end starts to shimmy and is unsafe for any speed above 45mph. This is an ongoing issue with all Super Duty trucks. The problem can be seen on line at you tube / Ford death wobble. The technician that worked on my vehicle told me he had no idea what was causing the problem.

This truck has developed the "death" wobble. If I hit a bump, bridge joint it will send the truck into an instant wobble that is so violent you have to slow to about 20mph to stop it. Very dangerous at highway speeds as you cannot keep lane control. Already destroying the front tires and dealers have said to keep proper air pressure. I have been an auto mechanic for over 15 yrs now and that is the best excuse the dealer has. Ford knows there is a problem but said there is not enough complaints. I have done a search and came up with over 18,000 hits on google for this topic alone. Please assist with keeping us safe and demand a fix and recall before people are killed driving or even being near this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford F-250. The contact stated that the front end of the vehicle would shake violently whenever driving over a road bump or a pothole. The wheels would also bounce off the ground and the steering would become defective when the failure occurred. Once the vehicle was at a complete stop, the failure would cease. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the tire pressure and alignment was checked, but the dealer did not recommend any type of repair. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 137,000. Updated 07/16/13

I was driving my 2009 F-250 traveling about 40 to 45 mph and after hitting a rough patch of road the wheels began to shake out of control for about 20 seconds. I have had my truck to the dealership for the same problem on 6 plus times. Ford states that it was a tire pressure issue.......bs!.... bs! each time Ford has my truck they say we have fixed the problem and it should not occur again. The last time I left Ford and spent 165.00$ on a damper rod to fix this problem I drove 18 miles down the road and went into a "death wobble again. I turned the truck around and it is sitting at Ford as I write this post. After reviewing this matter on line I have noticed that there are more F-250's with the same issue. A federal recall needs to be done and fast. Several times that the "death wobble " as occurred to me, I have been lucky so far to drive out of it with out a problem. I might not be so lucky next time. A federal recall needs to be done fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving highway speed, after hitting rough area, front end starts to shake violently causing almost loss of control. Took to Ford dealer in Laredo, tx and was repaired. This lasted about 8 months and problem arose again as I was driving the interstate in Ms. Took to local repair and had king pin["] replaced but didn't stop the problem. Checked tire pressure, shocks, wheel bearings...research has proven this is very common problem but no real answer. This truck is dangerous to drive and cost over $50,000. What do I do now"
