While driving on crowded interstate hwy. Vehicle makes contact with a expansion joint and truck goes into severe wobble and shaking. Had to brake speed in moving traffic to almost a complete stop to cure wobble. Very dangerous and scary. Luckily drivers were courteous enough to let me get it under control without running into my rear and causing a pile up. Have had vehicle in repair shop to inspect with no identifiable solution. Now have a fear of returning back home the 500 miles. Wife is paranoid and fearful. This is the third occurrence in the last year. Manufacturers need to find a fix for this or serious injury could occur.

I just bought this vehicle and was driving the highway at 65 mph. I went over the expansion joint on a bridge and lost control of the vehicle. It jumped into the next lane. Thank god no one was in the other lane and no one got hurt. My family and others could have been killed. The dealership said the steering damper was bad. I'm sorry but a bad steering damper when you are traveling 65 mph over a small bump should not make your vehicle jump into the next lane and loose control. This must be fixed by Ford. I am reading that other people have had to have all of the front end parts replaced and then the problem returns again. What is the NHTSA doing about this? do not have VIN at this time my truck is at the dealers.

About 6 months after the purchase of my 2010 Ford F250 king ranch 4X4 my truck began to have serious shimming in the front in when I would hit bumps on highways. This schim is listed as the death wobble on many websites. I have had the front end repaired 3 times and going on the fourth time today when I took the truck in for service. I spoke to my service manager and asked if he knew of a permanent fix and he spoke to the shop foreman and advised me they can only fix this problem tempoarily. This last time this happened I was pulling my 35 foot travel trailer and almost rolled my truck with my family in the vehicle. This is a very serious and dangerous issue and I am having trouble understanding why a major safety recall has not been filed. You can google F250 death wobble and you will see tons of websites with information about this and complaints that Ford has no fix for this issue. I think if Ford can not fix a major safety issue like this then they should replace these trucks with new ones. It seems to be the year 2008-2010 with the major issues. Every friend I know that owns one of these trucks has said they have the same issue and they arer scared to drive their trucks. I feel exactly the same and I would like something done for everyones safety. I am looking into the lemon law to see if I fall into the requiements to file a claim for a new vehicle.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-250 diesel. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle would start shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. As a precaution, the dealer replaced the dual shocks and tires. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure persisted. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 46,000.
