NHTSA Complaint #11141310 — 2016 FORD F-350

2016 FORD F350 POWERSTROKE (29,947 MILES), WHILE TRAVELING DOWN SMOOTH INTERSTATE PULLING 5TH WHEEL CAMPER WHEN SPEEDOMETER GETS TO 61MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO VIBRATE. WHEN SPEED IS 62-63MPH THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY BOUNCE CAUSING NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL. THE "WOBBLE" WAS SO SEVERE WHILE REDUCING SPEEDS THE TRUCK WAS BOUNCING ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY LANES, FORTUNATELY TRACTOR TRAILER DRIVERS WERE ALERT AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN WHICH ALLOWED US TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE COMBINATION. APPEARS SPEEDS LESS THAN 61MPH THE STEERING IS BETTER WITH LESS VIBRATION. AFTER DROPPING OFF THE 5TH WHEEL AGAIN WE APPROACHED 60 MPH WITH SOME VIBRATION NOTED. WHEN 62MPH WAS REACHED AGAIN THE STEERING VIOLENTLY BEGAN WOBBLING AS IT BOUNCED THE TRUCK EXTREMELY HARD ON THE PAVEMENT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THE HIGHWAYS USED WERE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO VISIBLE OR NOTICEABLE DEFECTS.
