F-350

  • 60,000 miles
Driving East on interstate I10 East of benson, AZ at around 75mph, hit a rough patch of road and the vehicle went wild, shaking, vibrating, loss of control. I hit the brakes and went across 3 lanes of traffic into the medium, where I skidded to a stop. I see from the internet this is called the F350 death wobble! the Ford F350 and all related vehicles need to be taken off the roads, they are a potential death trap. I could have been killed or seriously injured in this accident or even worse some innocent family could have been killed in a head on accident! my Ford F350 vehicle has around 60,000 miles, superduty, 4X4. It is in excellent condition with a cab over camper.

F-350

  • 50,500 miles
While towing my large camper, on the freeway, I hit a bump. The front end of the truck started shaking violently. It was all I could do to stop the truck without wrecking. I had to stop in the traffic lane. This was an extremely dangerous situation. After resuming travel, the front end would shimmy at about 45 mph. I had to drive home at 40 mph...roughly another 75 miles. I think I have seen an advisory letter from Ford, to owners, concerning this. There are many, many instances of this happening. One can find dozens of examples of this happening if one looks on line. Neither Ford nor the local Ford dealer seems to be aware of the problem. We were traveling at about 60 mph at the time of the incident.

F-350 4WD 8-cyl

  • 139,141 miles
While parked, a crack in the circumference of the drivers side aluminum wheel was noticed. The crack extends from spoke to spoke on the 20" factory Ford rim. After some research on the internet, I am not tho only one experiencing this situation. In most cases such as mine the rims are cracking in the same place and in most cases there was no damage noted to the wheel from potholes or impacts, the rim is defective and cracking. I have contacted Ford and there is no recall at this point and the truck is not under warranty. However this appears to big a huge safety issue, as if the wheel would continue to crack, it would not hold air an the tire could go flat immediately. I would like to send a picture of this to show the issue. There are several pictures on the internet of the same wheel (5 spoke 20" aluminum wheel 2006 F-350 trucks).
