Experienced the "Death Wobble" multiple times while on vacation March and April 2023 while towing a 30 foot 5th wheel RV. When traveling interstate highways between 55 and 65 MPH we experienced extreme violent shaking of the front end whenever going over rough pavement. Immediate slowing to below 50 MPH ended the violent shaking. We do not tow the RV at speeds above 65 MPH. We reported the issue to Kendall Ford of Meridian, 250 East Overland Road, Meridian Idaho 83642, 208-888-4403 on April 24, 2023. Kendall Ford acknowledged the issue and we are "in line" for the parts that supposedly fix the issue. Once the parts arrive, Kendall Ford will schedule the repair.

Twice while driving between 65-70 mph when hitting a bump or groove the front end began shaking violently and I had to pull over to make it stop. Luckily I was in an outside lane and did not hit another car. This sounds like the "death wobble" problem that many others have reported. I have contacted the dealer and am waiting to get a call back. This was terrifying and I don't feel safe driving my truck on the highway now.
