NHTSA Complaint #10678778 — 2011 FORD F-250

AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON OUR 2011 FORD F250 4X4 PICKUP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHING AND BALL JOINTS AT A COST TO ME OF ABOUT $400. NOW 3,000 MILES AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY FORD THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD EASILY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO HAVING TO QUICKLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN 30 OR 40 MPH TO GET THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO STOP WOBBLING COULD EASILY CAUSE AN REAR END ACCIDENT LEADING TO CASUALTIES. *TR
