WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS IN THE 60'S I WENT OVER THE SEEM OF A BRIDGE. THE TRUCK VIBRATED SO WILDLY THAT I GRABBED THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS, HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND PRAYED. ITS AN AWFUL FEELING. I DON'T LET ANYBODY DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE TIMES THAN NOT. I CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE RE-CALLED. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT'S NOT A SHIMMY. ITS VERY VIOLENT. IF ANYBODY WANTS PROOF I WILL GLADLY TAKE THEM FOR A RIDE. *TR

TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE A STEERING WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE BECAUSE WHEELS WERE JUMPING ON THE PAVEMENT. PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. CURRENTLY AT 70K MILES DRIVING SPEED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 70 MPH, WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP, HIT A SMALL POT HOLE OR EVEN THE SMALLEST DIP ON THE ROAD SURFACE THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, BEST WAY TO STOP IT IS TO APPLY BRAKES HARD UNTIL TRUCK REACHES A MUCH LOWER SPEED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING BEHIND OTHER TRUCKS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING IT AND CAN SEE THE FRONT WHEELS SHAKING HARD AND QUICK, LEFT, RIGHT, UP AND DOWN ( VIBRATING) ON THE ROAD. *TR

I AM HAVING SEVERE VIBRATION AND STEERING ISSUES THE THIS MODEL. I CAN NOT DRIVE IT WITHOUT HURTING MY BACK. THE TRUCK NEEDS A COMPLETE SUSPENSION OVERHAUL. SHOULD BE TAKING OFF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

SHIMMING VIOLENTLY, HARD TO GET THE VIBRATION TO STOP. THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THE FRONT TIRES MUST HAVE BEEN SHAKING ALSO, SINCE THE AUTO ALONG SIDE OF ME PULLED WAY BACK AWAY FROM MY RIGHT SIDE. I DROVE OVER A DIP AND A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY AND THEN IT HAPPENED. THE TIRES ARE AT THE RIGHT AIR PRESSURE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE TRUCK IS A DIESEL 4X4. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER GOING OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE JUMPED A HALF LANE OVER AND I HAD LOST CONTROL UNTIL MY SPEED WAS REDUCED. AT THAT TIME I WAS AFRAID OF SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES AND LOSING MORE CONTROL OR POSSIBLY FLIPPING OVER. NOW THIS VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURS EVERY TIME I HIT A POT HOLE OR ANY UNEVEN SURFACE AT 55 TO 60 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FORD SERVICE AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM THAT WOULD CAUSE THE VIOLENT SHAKING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A VIDEO OF THIS ON YOU TUBE AS "F-250 DEATH WOBBLE". THIS VIDEO SAYS IT ALL AND IS BASED ON A STOCK ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT F-250 SUPER DUTY. *TR
