Consumer Description
MY FORD F-350 HAS EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS FROM 50-75 MPH, IT'S RANDOM AND DOESN'T SHOW ANY WARNING SIGNS, IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNNERVING TO EXPERIENCE. HITTING THE BRAKES MAKES IT VIOLENTLY UNCONTROLLABLE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ME IN WORSE SHAPE THEN BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. I HAVE DONE TONS OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL F-250,F-350,F-450,AND F-550 TRUCKS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED! THIS DEATH WOBBLE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IT, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I OWN 3 FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SO FAR 2 OF THEM HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION AND MY 2019 F-550 IS SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS AS MY OTHER 2 TRUCKS BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY DEATH WOBBLED. FORD KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND SO DOES THE NHTSA. PLEASE DO RESEARCH AND AN INVESTIGATION SO THIS CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR ALL SUPER DUTY OWNERS! OR STAY AWAY FROM THESE TRUCKS IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY TRACK BAR, STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AND SOME SORT OF SLUGS WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. SO WE WILL SEE WHEN I GET IT BACK THIS TIME IF IT'S ANY BETTER.
