Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Clear and dry road conditions. Factory truck. Driving at 65 MPH with steering wheel slightly turned to the left, the road made a transition from concrete to asphalt with a slight rise in road surface and the commonly worded "death wobble" took over violently and rapidly pulling my steering wheel back and forth until I eventually brought the vehicle to a stop as it the truck took itself into the median. Under nearly the exact same conditions around 100 miles later also ending with the vehicle in the median.
After hitting patched portion on road front wheels began to shake violently. Steering wheel shook. Stopped vehicle and inspected. Saw no damage so I continued to drive. I then took to local ford dealer for repair. Not finding anything as of this date 8/30.
Dramatic wheel and front end wobble when hitting a bridge transition. Vehicle becomes uncontrollable and continues to shake violently until vehicle comes to almost a complete stop. I had this same issue in my 2005 f250 and had to change almost all the components of the front end to fix. There are hundreds of people speaking about this on the forums and state that there are tsbs that cover this but that the parts fail again in about 25k miles. I pull a boat quite often and if this would have happened with a trailer behind my truck there would have been fatalities. As it was cars went all over the interstate trying to get away from me. This issue has been around for a long time and it seems that it has not been addressed by the manufacture. I love and need my 3/4 ton truck and believe that ford makes the best truck, but there will be deaths caused by this, if not already. Now I will start the long process of getting the dealer to fix the issue.
