PICKED UP MY F250 SUPER DUTY FROM THE SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER, DRIVING IT ON THE FREEWAY OVERPASS, HIT A BUMP ON THE OVER PASS AND MY FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO CONTROL, I HAD TO STOP ON THE FREEWAY TO MAKE IT STOP SHAKING, ALMOST CAUSED A PILE UP. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO FORD GARAGE, THEY TEST DROVE IT. REPLACE STEERING BOX. TWO YEARS LATER. STEERING PUMP BROKE, AND THE NEW STEERING BOX BROKE, WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE IS PARKED, AND WILL REMAIN PARKED. DROVE THE VEHICLE LAST WEEK AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME INCIDENT. COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. TURNED TO THE LEFT, WHEN I TRIED TO TURN TO THE RIGHT, IT WOULD NOT TURN. WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH. WENT OFF THE ROAD. IT CONTINUES TO ACT THE SAME. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT VEHICLE TO TEST. *TR

2007 F250 CREW CAB 4X4. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH I HIT AN UNEVENLY PAVED ROAD AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE FOR AT LEAST A MILE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP.

FORD SUPER DUTY DEATHWOBBLE. PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE NEW. FAILURE OCCURS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 75MPH. FAILURE MANIFESTS AS UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING AND WHOLE VEHICLE OSCILLATION. HAS LED TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER. UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE INSTIGATES SAID LOSS OF CONTROL. HAVE CHANGED SHOCKS AND SPRINGS,ADDED DUAL STEERING STABILIZER IN ADDITION TO CHANGING STABILIZER IN STOCK LOCATION, BALL JOINT CASTER CAMS ADDED, NEW TIRES ADDED (TWICE) MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS. MOST CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN IS NOT TO DRIVE IT AND JEOPARDIZE MY LIFE OR THE LIVES OF OTHERS. HOW MANY NEED TO BE KILLED OR INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE CAN BE HELD ACCOUTABLE? *TR

2007 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.0 LITER DIESEL 4X4. STEERING WOBBLE (OSCILLATION): PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AFTER ABOUT 30000 MILES WHEN DRIVING 60-65 MPH AND HIT AN ROUGH ROAD SURFACE - STEERING BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL SLOWED TO APPROX. 40 MPH. AT 42000 MILES HAD 6" LIFT AND 37' TIRES AND DUAL STEERING STABILIZER PUT ON VEHICLE AND PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE UP UNTIL APPROX. 54000 MILES SAME ISSUE AGAIN. HAVE HAD WHEELS BALANCED, AIR PRESSURE AND ALIGNMENT CHECK - FOUND LOOSE TRACK BAR AND TIGHTENED. THIS HELPED TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF WOBBLE OCCURRENCE, HOWEVER STILL NOT RESOLVED. UPON RESEARCHING THIS IT APPEARS TO BE A GLOBAL FORD SUPER DUTY PROBLEM WHETHER VEHICLE IS STOCK OR HAD SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS INSTEAD OF DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A FORD F250SD, WHEN I AM DOING 70MPH PLUS AND HIT A POT HOLE OR A GOOD SIZE BUMP THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIGOROUSLY. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO NEARLY TO 40MPH JUST TO GET IT TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH ABOUT 200+ OTHER FORD F250SD OWNERS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEARS RANGE FROM '06 TO '08. *TR

EXCESSIVE SHIMMY/FRONT END OSCILLATION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL ON MULTI LANE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT, FORCED TO BRAKE SEVERELY TO REGAIN CONTROL , ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END CRASH . READ YOUR REPORT EA08007 AND IMMEDIATELY CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE WITHIN SPEC'S. IN FORTY FIVE YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A VIOLENT CONDITION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE INCLUDING TIRE BLOWOUTS OVER 50 MPH. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NO ASSOCIATED CRASHES OR DEATHS OF THIS CONDITION. THERE ARE MANY POSTINGS OF SAME ON THE INTERNET BY OTHER OWNERS. I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO FORD AND REFERENCE THEIR TSB 7-10-10 AND YOUR EA08007 REPORT. *TR
