Consumer Description
DRIVING I-95 AT 65/70 MPH ACROSS OVERPASS BRIDGE AT TRANSITION OF ROADWAY SURFACES FROM CONCRETE TO ASPHALT TRUCK FRONT STARTED SHAKING MAKINGS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. LUCKILY A FEW WEEKS AGO I READ ABOUT THIS CONDITION ( DEATH WOBBLE) ON AN RV FORUM. HAD TO LET TRUCK SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AS BRAKING ONLY MADE IT WORSE, PULLED ONTO SHOULDER CHECKED THINGS OUT AND GOT BACK IN TRUCK AND DROVE AWAY. ALL WAS OKAY AFTER THAT. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND PUT 350 MILES ON TRUCK WITHOUT IT REOCCURRING, I WILL BE TAKING IT TO FORD DEALER MONDAY AM TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY BUT IT APPEARS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A FAIRLY WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT FORD IS BACKING AWAY FROM. DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE IF WE WERE TOWING OUR 30 FT . 5TH WHEEL. THE TRUCK HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES ARE WEARING EVENLY AND PROPERLY INFLATED AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR OFF ROADING. SO AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS I OWN A $68,000 THAT MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE AND I'M AFRAID TO TOW MY RV WITH IT. HARDLY "SUPER DUTY"
