Consumer Description

2014 FORD F-250 6.7L LARIAT SUPER DUTY - 73,000 MILES I PURCHASED IT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. 100% STOCK, NO LIFT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT STARTED A SHIMMER IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD GOING OVER 55MPH. I NOW GET A TREMENDOUS SHAKE, IE PROBABLY THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING BEFORE IT TAKES ME OFF THE ROAD. I LOSE FULL CONTROL UNTIL IT STOPS. I ROTATE MY TIRES WITH EACH OIL CHANGE AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY ALIGNED. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHEN HAULING MY 40FT 5TH WHEEL BUT LUCKILY I HAD A QUIET INTERSTATE AND WAS ABLE TO HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE UNTIL I GOT IT ALL SLOWED DOWN, THIS HAPPENED GOING 65MPH DRIVING STRAIGHT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS / 10,000 MILES. MOST MILES ARE PUT ON GOING UNDER 55MPH SO I'M SURE IT WOULD HAPPEN MORE IF I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
