While driving on any highway if you hit a small bump or go over an overpass at a speed greater than 35mph the suspension and front wheels start shaking violently and the steering will lose control. You have to come to a complete stop before it will stop. The violent wheel and suspension oscillation can cause the driver to lose control. Since this occurs on major overpasses and turns it has an increased likelihood of causing accidents which could result in serious injury or death. The steering and suspension issue could cause severe injury or death. The federal safety agency must investigate this issue with ford immediately or it will result in highway accidents that could result in serious injury or death. There is an overwhelming amount of consumer complaints and data to suggest the issue is widespread and that there was a design flaw in the suspension and steering of these vehicles. A federal investigation is needed along with a manufacturer recall of the dangerously defective suspension and steering assemblies of these vehicles.

Driving down the freeway. Hit a small pothole on the highway and lost control of the vehicle due to a "death wobble" that felt like it was from the front end. It felt like the front of the truck was going to be ripped off.

At various speeds from 45 on up frontend will shake violently causing vehicle to loss lane control. Most often it is following any compromise in the road but has happened without me feeling or seeing any change in the surface. When I went to my local ford dealer, they quickly identified the problem calling it the 'death wobble'. Alarmed by the name alone I enquired. They said they know of the problem and that ford is not taking responsibility for it. They only offer the consumer to pay out of pocket for aftermarket part to rectify their ill engineered frontend. This is a serious occurrence and will end up causing many wrecks and the great potential for fatalities. I see ford and whoever else turns a blind eye to this situation to be in the headlines right next to gm and their attempt to pretend and bury issues knowing they present a compromise in safety. There is a countless number of people who have done their part to notify both ford and the federal safety agency of this ongoing issue for years and both seem negligent not to aggressively remedy any and all current vehicles with this defect, as well as, any unit in production. It shouldn't take bloodshed/death for someone to take ownership of their defective product.

When driving down the road and you hit a bump just right the entire truck begins to violently shake. It shakes so bad and the only way to get it to stop is to pull over immediately. Almost hit a semi that was next to me. I am told its called the ford death shake and you can see videos on the internet of the problem and I too have taken a video on my phone of my truck doing this. This should be recalled and fixed. I was told it was a steering stabilizer bushing, so I replaced it. Still did it. I was told it could be the strut on the stabilizer bar, replaced it. Still does it. Now in at ford again and they telling me its some pin bar,, what ever that is. They are replacing it. This is apparently a big problem because I see a lot of complaints on this... Bad design along with the regen system to meet emission but that's a whole different story. Thanks

At 65 MPH, hit uneven road, front end wobbled dramatically !!!!!!!!! Truck went out of control & had to reduce speed to below 40 MPH to regain control. Continues to happen all the time now at over 55 MPH and hitting a bump. New tires all the way around, all tire pressure maintained properly at 62 to 65 psi.... This is a safety concern and is definitely a flawed designed that ford is well aware of and refuse to acknowledge. Does someone have to die to get their attention ?????

The front end of this truck shakes violently to the point of almost causing it to fall apart. This happens when you hit any uneven road above 55 MPH. You can't steer and have to apply the brakes and bring the vehicle down to about 30mph before it stops. This happens all the time on the freeway and having to stop and bring it down to 30mph is extremely dangerous in los angeles.
