Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY ROADS THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL START TO WOBBLE AND VIBRATE TO A POINT WHERE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST LOST. THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE WOBBLE/VIBRATION IS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, POT HOLES OR WASHBOARD ROADS. MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F250S AND IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE 2 DEALERS I BROUGHT IT TO EVEN AGREED THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH. THIS PROBLEMS OCCURS ALMOST EVERY HIGHWAY TRIP I TAKE.
