Consumer Description

2014 F-350 FRONT END / STEERING SHAKING KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING WAS TO REDUCE SPEED UNDER 50 MPH. THIS HAS PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED IN 8/2018 WITH APPROX 116K MILES ON THE TRUCK. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED MORE THAN ONCE AT SERVICE LOCATION, INCLUDING BRAKES, TIRES, ALIGNMENT,...BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. DIFFERENT "FIXES" WERE TRIED, WHICH INCLUDED TRACK BAR AND TIE ROD REPLACEMENT. AFTER 2ND TRACK BAR AND BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT, ISSUE SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED. HOWEVER, THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. CURRENT MILEAGE IS NO APPROX 175K MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD, YET THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS TO FIX THE ISSUE. TRUCK WILL BE RETURNING TO REPAIR FACILITY THIS WEEK, COSTING MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET, TO HOPEFULLY PUT ANOTHER BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM.
