- The Villages, FL, USA

At 60 to 65 mph when you hit a bump in the road (going over bridges) the vehicle begins to shake uncontrollably / violently. In two cases I went off the road trying to slow the vehicle down. It will not stop unless you slow down to about 30 mph. In all cases it happened on the highway. Typically while trying to merge into traffic while entering from an on ramp. Most case the bridge joint starts the condition. This has happened 4 times in the last 2 months.

At about 60 mph on a highway and driving in a straight line I experienced a violent shaking in the front end which almost sent me off of the road. The only way to stop it was to slow down rather quickly and regain control. The more I research I found it is named "death wobble". it is a very random and dangerous situation and needs to be fixed. I now have a $46,000 truck that I have absolutely no trust in and will not let my wife drive. It has happened twice now, about a week in between and in different locations.

Death wobble, the truck will randomly start shaking the steering wheel and front tires at around 60 mph with little to no warning. The truck has veered into other lanes of traffic while this shaking is occuring. The only way to stop the violent shake is to brake extremely hard down to about 30 mph rapidly. This has happened several times so far and is getting progressively worse each time.very dangerous situation. Usually highway driving at around 60-65 mph when this happens.

My truck has less than 16,000 miles. I have experienced 'death wobble' on six (6) separate occasions between January 16 and March 18, 2019. All instances occurred at speeds between 60 and 70 mph. Five of the instances occurred on rough roads, state highways and interstate highways. One instance occurred as I went over an expansion joint on an interstate highway bridge. The 'wobble' results in a very violent shaking of the entire front end of the truck and the steering wheel. It feels as if the driver loses complete control of any steering abilities until you are able to slow down to a speed of less than 50 mph. This truck was purchased nine months ago as a new vehicle from courtesy Ford in sauk city, wi. The dealer replace what they described as a stabilizer bar on its first attempt to fix the problem. It is now at courtesy Ford for a second time as they continue to try to fix this problem. I purchased this heavy duty truck in order to safely pull our fifth wheel camper and I no longer feel safe driving this truck.

First time happened when pulling a horse trailer on the interstate. The truck had approximately 17,000 miles at the time. Almost caused a horrible accident. Was the most violent shaking I have ever felt in a vehicle. I was able to barely get control of the truck. There needs to be a recall. This is a severe safety problem. That will cause accidents.
