Purchased truck July 1st 2023..after 2 days of owning I’ve experienced death wobble at 48-55mph. It caught me way off guard as I was hauling 40ft travel trailer and family in truck. Truck is currently back at dealership receiving the recalled parts for the newer trucks and have to pay over $3500 in repairs…within the 1200 miles I driven the truck had the death wobble 7 times. Please advise

While on highway, experienced an uncontrolled suspension vibration commonly know as the death wobble. It required me to slow down to 25mph on the highway to stop the uncontrollable vibration. This led to a chaotic situation with cars and trucks around me at the time.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-350 SD. The contact stated that while driving over a bump in the roadway at high speeds, the vehicle intermittently experienced the death wobble without warning. The shaking continued until the vehicle had slowed down and the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle. The contact notified the dealer and was informed that a diagnostic test needed to be performed to determine the cause of failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was not available.

WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HITTING A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT HOLD ON AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TILL IT STOPS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS LOSS OF CONTROL AND HAVING TO SLOW DOWN MAKES IT LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP!!!!

WHEN HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD OR ESPECIALLY WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE TRUCK DEVELOPS A TERRIFYING, VIOLENT SHAKING/VIBRATION AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 25 - 30MPH, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAYS SURROUNDED BY OTHER VEHICLES. MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE".. THE TRUCK HAS HAD VARIOUS STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS REPLACED WITH HIGH QUALITY AFTERMARKET PARTS INCLUDING SHOCK ABSORBERS AND STEERING DAMPER WITH NO CHANGE IN WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAPPEN EACH AND EVERY TIME WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR CROSSING A BRIDGE JOINT. MULTIPLE TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN AT LOCATIONS WHERE IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

TWO TO THREE WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY FORD F350 SRW, $WD, CREW CAB TRUCK I WENT OVER A BRIDGE. WENT I CAME OFF THE BRIDGE AND WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. FIRST I WAS YANKED TO THE LEFT AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT TO THE RIGHT. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL I WAS IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS WHO, BY THE GRACE OF GOD WHERE PAYING ATTENTION AND BRAKED BEFORE COLLIDING WITH ME! THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT MY ARMS HURT FOR TWO DAYS AFTER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO ME, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE FORD DEALER WHO REALLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT "TRY" DIFFERENT THINGS.
