NHTSA Complaint #11337060 — 2013 FORD F-350

WHILE TRAVELING ABOVE 50MPH OR SO, THE TRUCK HAS VIOLENTLY SHOOK AFTER HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD, CAUSING DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE PULLING TO ONE SIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WITH EACH TIME BEING EXACTLY THE SAME. THE VEHICLE WILL BE DRIVING SMOOTHLY, AND THEN EXPERIENCE A VIOLENT REPETITIVE SHAKING. EACH TIME, THE DRIVER HAS HAD TO BRAKE IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH OR LOWER, THE VEHICLE REGAINED CONTROL. VISUAL EXAMINATIONS OF THE VEHICLE RETURNED NO LOOSE OR BROKEN PARTS, AND THE VIOLENT VIBRATIONS WERE NOT EVIDENT BY ANY MARKINGS OR OTHER DISTURBANCES UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME INITIAL RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED ALMOST IDENTICAL SITUATIONS, AND IS CHARACTERIZED AS "DEATH WOBBLE". THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO DRIVE, AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY RECALLS FROM FORD ON THIS KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE.
