NHTSA Complaint #11291777 — 2014 FORD F-350

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 65 MPH, ON STRAIGHT, DRY ROAD. HIT A MEDIUM SIZED BUMP AND THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AT WHICH POINT THE SHAKING STOPPED. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD HIT ANOTHER MEDIUM SIZED BUMP AND THE SAME VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED AGAIN. THE SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS ABOUT TO COME OFF. IN DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS ALSO COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SEEMS TO OCCUR ON MANY FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS ACROSS MANY MODEL YEARS. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF A HEAVY VEHICLE WHICH MAY BE TOWING A LARGE TRAILER AS WELL. A RESULTING ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR FATALITIES WOULD SEEM TO BE A CERTAIN POSSIBILITY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS THAT NHTSA SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF SO PROPER REMEDIAL ACTION CAN BE TAKEN.
