Consumer Description
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING. I WAS DRIVING ~70 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND SUBSIDE THE SITUATION. THIS OCCURED 4 MORE TIMES ON THE TRIP AND ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY TRAFFIC. AFTER MUCH READING AND DISCOVERING SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE SAME SITUATION, THIS APPEARS TO BE THE FORD F-250/350 "DEATH WOBBLE".
