NHTSA Complaint #11375669 — 2017 FORD F-250

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 70-75 MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE COMMUTE. FROM A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND FROM FORUM BOARDS THEY ARE ALL ASKING WHY THIS HASN'T BECOME A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE YET? THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO STOP SHAKING IS COME DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THAT'S NOT EASY OR SAFE ON A HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN A LEFT LANE. I'D LIKE EVERY HOT SHOT OR BIG WIG HIGH UP IN THE FORD INDUSTRY TO GIVE THAT A TRY AND THEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE OR SHOULDN'T BE A SAFETY RECALL. GO FOR IT, BUSY COMMUTE, FAST LANE, HIT A BUMP, VIOLENTLY SHAKING, THEN COMING SAFELY TO A STOP. NOT JUST UNSAFE FOR MYSELF, BUT EVERY OTHER PERSON WITHIN THE VICINITY OF MY TRUCK. LASTLY, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED THIS YEAR WITH ONLY 36K MILES AND NOW ONLY HAS 48K WHICH IS HARDLY ENOUGH MILES FOR ANY MAJOR WEAR AND TEAR. CONTINUING ON THAT, I WAS TEST DRIVING ANOTHER NEWER F250 (2019) AND DURING THE TEST DRIVE IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. FROM WHAT I'M GATHERING ONLINE, THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED AND I FEAR WILL ONLY BE TAKING SERIOUSLY WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED. WHY? BECAUSE I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO COST FORD A TON OF MONEY. $40K USED TRUCK FOR ME A TON OF MONEY. BUT DEATH? WELL, I GUESS THAT'S A RISK FORD IS WILLING TO TAKE TO SAVE FACE . THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AS ITS BEING CALLED. THE END.
