NHTSA Complaint #11243718 — 2014 FORD F-350

PERIODICALLY THE FRONT END ON MY 2014 F-350 VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY (DEATH WOBBLE) WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS ON ROADS AT SPEEDS 65 MPH AND ABOVE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, I TOOK IT FOR REPAIRS TO BJ FORD IN LIBERTY, TX. THEY TOLD ME THE HIGH TIRE PRESSURE WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM; ACCORDING TO THEM, IT WAS ADJUSTED FROM 70 PSI TO 60 PSI. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO BJ FORD. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPEN I TOOK IT TO FRIENDLY FORD IN CROSBY, TX WHERE THEY REPLACED SEVERAL ITEMS (SEE ATTACHED FILE) ON 08/07/2019. ON 8/9/2019 WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH I EXPERIENCE THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT WAS THE WORST YET. I ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT BACK TO FRIENDLY FORD EXPLAINING THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR IT. SINCE I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IT FORD'S ABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I AM NOW AT THE POINT OF TRADING MY F-350 IN FOR A F-150, BUT I STILL HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE NEXT OWNER WILL INHERENT THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE FORD CAN'T SEEMS FIX IT.
