Consumer Description
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE ON MY 1997 F350 AND MY 2014 F250. AT 45 MPH PLUS, HITTING SOMETIMES IMPERCEPTIBLE BUMPS CAN CAUSE THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING TO DEVELOP A VERY VIOLENT VIBRATION. I ALMOST LOSE CONTROL AND HAVE TO BRAKE VERY HARD TO GET IT TO STOP. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO CRASH OR BE HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN BRAKING. FORD MADE SOME SUSPENSION REPAIRS UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THESE REPAIRS MADE THE PROBLEM MUCH WORSE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AND THEY BLAMED MY TIRES, SAYING THEY ARE ALMOST WORN OUT. I COMPLAINED THAT I SHOULD HAVE SEVERAL THOUSAND MORE MILES ON THESE TIRES AND THERE WAS EITHER A DESIGN PROBLEM OR SOMETHING BROKEN. THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND TOLD ME THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CHANGE MY TIRES. I PUT NEW TIRES ON FOR $1,300 AND I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS LESS SEVERE AND HAPPENS LESS FREQUENTLY, BUT IT IS STILL DEFINITELY THERE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK BUT HAVE NO CHOICE.
