At about 65-70 MPH, upon hitting an mildly rough spot on highway, my 2015 F250 started shaking violently: i.e better known as the Ford "Death Wobble."

The investigation into the F-150 sudden transmission Downshifts into a lower gear at highway speeds needs to be expanded and also include F-250 6.7 L diesel. It has happened in my F-250 twice while traveling on the interstate at highway speeds, down shifts from gear 6 to gear 3. VERY DANGEROUS

The upper fuel filter plastic housing cracks and leaks fuel on hot parts and has produced fires on other vehicles, not this one. I have had this replaced twice in the past, this will be the third time. There are no warning lamps or other warnings. Only the smell of fuel.

Death wobble - on numerous occasions we have experienced the death wobble on our vehicle. We have complained to several dealers and done their recommended repairs. We have even purchased new high end tires as recommended with no resolution. We are unable to haul our RV out of fear of an accident. It has occurred at high speeds on the highway and at lower speeds on roads. This is very scary when it occurs. Coming to a full stop in a one lane HOV lane is not only dangerous for us but also dangerous for those traveling behind us. This has been occurring for years with the most recent occurrence this week. After researching we discovered this route to file a complaint.

Lethal death wobble , could have easily crashed on the interstate without having both hands on the wheel. This is insane, had the front track bar and front steering stabilizer replaced, still no fix.
