7/2018 DRIVING AT 50 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S A DEATH WOBBLE, THEY STATED THEY REPAIRED IT AND IT ONLY LASTED ABOUT 1 MONTH! HERE I AM IN 7/2019 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY $65K TRUCK ABOVE 40 MPH WITHOUT THIS ENTIRE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKING. VERY DISAPPOINTED AS MY FAMILY IS A FORD FAMILY FOR 3 GENERATIONS AND FORDS WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE MAKING $1,000/MONTH PAYMENTS ON IT. CAN'T TRADE IT IN DUE TO THE FACT I CAN'T AFFORD IT. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE THAT I HAVE FEAR AND ANXIETY WITH IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL IN THIS TRUCK, PEOPLE STOP AND STARE WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH IS DAILY. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH ME FORD!

DEATH WOBBLE. BEGAN WITH 5K MILES ON VEHICLE. WHEN TRAVELING AT OR MORE THAN 50MPH VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND VIBRATION TANTRUM. CAN BE DIFFICULT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS SLOWED DOWN TO 15-20 MPH. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND OTHER CARS IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY.

AT CERTAIN SPEEDS THE FRONT TIRES WOBBLE YOU HAVE TO HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL EVERYONE CALLS IT A DEATH WOBBLE BUT NO ONE HAS A FIX FOR IT. I FEEL IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND MY FAMILY

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE CROSSING A BRIDGE.THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT CAME OUT OF MY HANDS (MOVING BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT) AND THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY FIXED IT. NOW LESS THAN 10,000 MILES LATER THE TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. THIS TIME IT WAS BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD DOING 45 MPH.THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF FORD CANNOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. I WILL NOT LET MY KIDS OR WIFE DRIVE THIS TRUCK! WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY ,I MUST SLOW TO ABOUT 40 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ON WET ROADS!!!! I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO! PLEASE HELP US!

AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, IF YOU DRIVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE, AT WHICH TIME YOU BASICALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING OVER RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS. THE SAME THING IS TRUE WHEN DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE WITH EXPANSION JOINTS. IN ALL CASES, THE TRUCK'S STEERING CAN OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. RECENTLY, WHILE TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL TRAILER 'ON THE HIGHWAY', I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN A 6% GRADE AND HIT A SMALL ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME, I WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TOWING A 12,000 POUND 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE WOBBLE SUBSIDED. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WHILE TOWING A TRAILER. THE WHOLE TIME DURING THE WOBBLE, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIFTING LEFT AND RIGHT OUT OF CONTROL. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE 2 HOUR TRIP. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S ALSO HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO TRAILER ATTACHED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SEEMS TO INVOLVE THE STEERING/SUSPENSION. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT LIVED IN AN EXTREMELY COLD ENVIRONMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO SPRADELY FORD (4809 S COLLEGE AVE, FORT COLLINS, CO 80525, (970) 226-3673) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GFI BOX NEEDED TO BE DISCONNECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IF THEY DISCONNECTED THE GFI CORD, THEN THE HEATER WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

FRONT END SUFFERS FROM A SEVERE SHAKE AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW AND IT STILL IS NOT REPAIRED. HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
