Traveling on the interstate at aprox 65mph hit a bump in the road and the front end started violently shaking & had to slow to below 30mph to get the shaking to stop. I have experienced this several times. I took the truck to the shop & they did a front end alignment and checked the balance of the tires, never mentioning the "death wobble". it did take care of the problem for 3 months however the problem has returned.
- Lake St Louis, MO, USA
When traveling at freeway speeds (70 mph), I hit a rough spot in the road and my steering wheel began to shake violently. I had to slow down to get it to stop. The truck has 13,256 miles on it.

A shaking or wobble in the front end generally occurs at speeds over 60mph, when you run over a rough spot in the road or a road seam. The front end will shake violently and the vehicle is difficult to control until you slow down (40-50mph). A Ford dealer has looked at it and said that the alignment and tire balance is correct. However the problem still persists. This is very dangerous at highway speeds. Truck has 20K miles on it.

Traveling approximately 50 mph over rough paved road, the steering started oscillating severely and continued until vehicle was slowed down to approximately 20 mph. Happened the next day under very similar circumstances

- Elma, NY, USA
While driving on the interstate, on multiple occasions, at speeds of 55-70mph I've hit a small bump or rough patch on the rode. This sends the steering wheel/front end into a violent, uncontrollable, oscillating wobble which requires you to pull off the road to get it to stop. This vehicle is un modified and well maintained since I purchased it brand new 9 months prior. These incidents have caused shoulder and neck pain and have made me scared to even drive it. Ford has yet to acknowledge or repair this issue.
