DEATH WOBBLE 4 TH TIME SINCE NEW TRUCK IN CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP PART IS ON BACK ORDER AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD

VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT 70 MPH THAT ALMOST MADE DRIVER LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL SLOWING DOWN TO 50 MPH.

DRIVING OUT OF STATE, 1000 MILES FROM HOME. DRIVING HOME. ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATING, THE STEERING WHEELS BEGAN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" DESCRIBED BY SO MANY FORD OWNERS. EXIT FREEWAY AND LIMP BACK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAS NO PARTS. NATION WIDE BACK ORDER. MY FAMILY IS STRANDED 1000 MILES FROM HOME. DEALER SAYS "JUST DRIVE IT AND WHEN IT STARTS TO WOBBLE, SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT STOPS". THIS IS NOT A SAFE OPTION. THIS TRUCK HAS 18,160 MILES ON IT!! INSTALLING AFTER MARKET PARTS JUST TO GET MY FAMILY HOME. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS TRULY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS, IN MY OPINION, CRIMINAL TO LEAVE PEOPLE WITH LITTLE OR NO OPTIONS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS "WOBBLE" AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS A MAJOR DANGER TO ALL PERSONS IN THE AREA OF THIS TRUCK. MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES MAY BE AT RISK. I HAVE PAID FOR A TRUCK. I WANT A TRUCK THAT IS SAFE AND DEPENDABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

CROSSED RAIL ROAD TRACKS TRUCK START SHAKING SO BAD LIKE TO HAVE LOST CONTROL AT 65 MILES PER HOUR

I AM EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY TRUCK. DRIVING TYPICALLY ABOVE 60 MPH, IF I DRIVE OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR IF THERE ARE RIPPLES OR CONTINUOUS BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY, I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK IN A SEVER SHAKING. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DOING FOUND TO FIX IT IS TO SLOW DOWN, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND CONTINUE DRIVING.

THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED AFTER 15K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I'VE BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD DEALERSHIP IN SAN JOSE, CA TOLD ME THE DAMPNERS ON MY TRUCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PARTS ARE IN BACK ORDER AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN FORD WILL HAVE THE PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT. DURING OUR LATEST TRIP TO SANTA ANA, CA ON DEC 26, 2019. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK, STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (45MPH+) WHEN BRAKING OR GOING OVER POTHOLES/ROUGH ROADS. THE WOOBLES ARE MUCH WORST THIS TIME. WE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE WOOBLES IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND I'VE CALLED/LEFT VOICEMAIL/TEXTED THE FORD DEALER IN SAN JOSE, CA. NO ONE CALLED BACK AFTER AN HOUR, SO WE DECIDED TO CANCEL OUT TRIP AND TURN AROUND FOR HOME. ONLY TO DRIVE MUCH SLOWER AND KEEPING A MUCH LONGER DISTANCE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. MY FORD TRUCK IS A 2017 FORD F250 LARIAT CREW CABS WITH 20200 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW.

WHEN VEHICLE TRAVELS OVER A ROUGH SPOT OR A CHANGE IN GRADE ON THE ROAD SUCH AS A BRIDGE JOINT THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND YOU HAVE TO ALMOST STOP TO GET IT TO CORRECT ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. MOST RECENT WAS ON INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MPH. TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND DROVE ACROSS A BRIDGE JOINT, FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO SLOW DOWN. VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 30,000 MILES. PAID WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO NOW FEAR FOR MY LIFE WHEN I DRIVE IT. FORD SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP

I HAVE FILED AN EARLIER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE(TRACKING NUMBER IS 11289041). I MADE AN APPT AT FORD TO GET TRUCK FIXED FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE ME SET UP FOR A LOANER VEHICLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO RESCHEDULE. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AS A WAIT TO GET INTO THE SHOP AND I NEARLY CAUSED THREE SEPARATE ACCIDENTS ON N/S I-75. WHEN I WAS TURNED AWAY AT FORD BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR ME, THE SPOKESMAN OF SERVICE TOLD ME THAT IF THE FAILED PART ON MY TRUCK IS WHAT HE THINKS IT IS, THE PART IS ON A 6 WEEK BACK ORDER. HE CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN HOW THERE WAS A BACKLOG OF 1200 OF THESE PARTS AND HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY TELL ME WHEN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ONE IN. JEREMY ARMSTRONG(SPOKESMAN OF SERVICE) RELUCTANTLY TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN A TON OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. AS I WAS LEAVING LEBANON FORD THAT DAY IN OHIO, I NOTICED QUITE A FEW FORD SUPERDUTY'S PARKED OUTSIDE THE SERVICE AREA. I DEEM MY TRUCK NOT DRIVEABLE AND A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT ALSO ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES THAT I SHARE THE ROAD WITH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERE SHAKING IN MY FRONTEND SUSPENSION/STEERING WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON ONE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE SHAKING OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A RURAL 2 LANE ROAD. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SHAKING. I HAD TO SLOW TO 25 MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STOP AND I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. EACH TIME IT OCCURS IT WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (AT LEAST 60 MPH). I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE OVER 60 MPH. ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK OR NEAR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. IN MY QUICK RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE WIDE SPREAD WITH FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. MY TRUCK HAS STOCK SUSPENSION AND STEERING AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 26,000 MILE ON MY FORD F-250.
