2010 fordf350 super duty, 127,000 miles. I have the dreaded "ford death wobble", I've contacted ford all the way to corporate. Ford's response is we're not aware if any issues, and there is no recall on your vehicle. My wife won't ride in the car, that's how coolant the shake is. I've contacted ford both in writing and verbally, there answer is out of warranty, your problem mn. They are aware if the problem as it is all over the internet. Their answer is you can't believe the internet. I guess they'll take ownership when someone is killed. Of course in a deadly crash, the evidence/cause of crash will be destroyed, how fourtinant for ford.

The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was over the warranty and mileage. The failure mileage was approximately 70,020. .. Updated 12/22/16 *bf
Loss of control when driving on bumpy section of freeway, due to extreme shaking of front end. It seem to amplify in the severity and violence of the shaking until I was able to slow the truck to under 10 miles an hour on the shoulder of the road to regain control. I have had the truck in shop at the dealer 3 to 4 times for repair for this recurring problem. The ford service technician admitted that this was a common problem for this make and model but that neither ford or the dealer would take responsibility for the repair. But, they did however have a recommended fix, which I found interesting for an issue that they said didn't exist. I have spent thousands of dollars at the dealer to fix what is obviously a design and manufacturing flaw. This is a very dangerous vehicle to drive. We bought it to pull a large travel trailer but do not have confidence in the truck to do so. So not only are we paying for a defective truck, we are not able to use the truck for the purpose we intended. We could not be more disappointed in ford and our dealer. These trucks will cause fatal crashes, they are not safe to drive. I can send video from the cab of the shaking that happened over the weekend. Please, please take action to get this issue fixed. Thank you
Submission from constituent re issues with ford f-350 truck (full document not imaged). *smd the dealer had the consumers vehicle for 12 days. The vehicle was returned to him damaged. When he attempted to start the truck, there was metallic engine rattle. He shut the truck off and inspected the engine, but found no problem. As the consumer drove home, the truck stalled several times, the transmission would not shift properly and the steering wheel started to shake violently at 30 MPH. The consumer also stated the head lights did not provide adequate lighting of the road, the seat belts did not retract properly; they would tightened as he was driving, which prevented him from moving, there cruise control did not engage properly, it was difficult to maneuver the steering wheel, the fuel gauge was not reading accurately, there were noises coming from the drive train, the emergency brake was inoperative, the vehicle severely pulled to the right, the engine lacked torque and power, the suspension was not adequate for the vehicle, every time he hit a pot hole or bump in the road, he would loose steering ability and the tires would start bouncing. It would take too long for the vehicle to take off, when the accelerator was applied, there was an instant shudder from the vehicle, when he applied the accelerator pedal.
Since I purchased my truck, used, in 2012, under limited circumstances the truck will go into a violent shake from the front end after hitting rather small bumps. Now that it is older and has about 73000 miles on it, this happens on a daily basis. The vibration starts out very small but quickly escalates until the truck is shaking out of control. It feels like the truck is rolling down the road with square tires in front. It usually lasts at least 5 seconds and only goes away with aggressive braking and steering maneuvers.
When the tilt adjustment lever was engaged to adjust the wheel tilt the lever broke off. The ford dealer agreed it was a defective piece of steel a it had a bubble in the in the steel in the area that it broke.
