Front end bounced uncontrollably at highway speed (65) on relatively smooth road surface - only solution was to slow to below 40 mph
- Leander, TX, USA
On 10/19/2019 while my 2019 F-350 was in motion towing a 36-ft 5th wheel on a two-lane highway at 55 mph, I drove over a series of bumps in my lane that caused the front of the truck to shudder violently. I had to slow the truck to approx. 30 mph to get the shuddering to stop. I did not lose control of the 5th wheel. The steering wheel shuddered so violently I could barely keep my hands on it. All vehicle weights were well within the gvwr/gcwr of both the trailer and truck. Ironically enough I was on my way home from weighing the truck and trailer at a cat scale when this incident occurred. Four days later I took the truck to the dealer where they replaced the steering damper assembly in accordance with tsb 19-2274.

Traveling between 55-65 on the highway I hit a small bump in the road and the truck started shaking violently. Had to slow down to almost a complete stop to get it to stop. Very unsafe.

1st incident-driving on the highway the truck started violently shaking after hitting a small rise going over an overpass. Extremely blessed that I was in an express lane (tolled) and no one was around me. 16ft trailer was hooked up and it took every bit of strength I had to keep the truck in the 2 lanes and not the wall. Thankful no other vehicles were around me. 2nd incident- again driving on the highway the next day; a very small bump in the road caused the violent shaking. I was not towing, but I did have vehicles around me this time that thankfully were paying attention as I was in and out of the fast and middle lane. The experience is indescribable and frightening.
