Consumer Description

2015 FORD F-250 4X4 CREW CAB DIESEL SHORT BED; WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 50-70 MPH, WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP OR HOLE, THE TRUCK SOMETIMES SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNOFFICIALLY EXPLAINED AS THE SUPER DUTY DEATH WOBBLE. TRUCK IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SPEED HAS BEEN DRASTICALLY REDUCED. DOING SO IS A HAZARD IN ITSELF FOR SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOT IDENTIFY IT AS A PROBLEM. UP TO NOW THERE HAS ONLY BEEN INCIDENTS AND CRASHES WITH OR WITHOUT INJURY. NO FATALITIES LOGGED. MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THEY WILL WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED BEFORE TAKING ACTION. BY OFFICIALLY REPORTING THIS TO NHTSA, I AS WELL AS THE MANY OTHERS ARE HOPING THAT FORD WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND INITIATE A CAMPAIGN TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, SHOCKS TWICE, STEERING STABILIZER DAMPENER, REBALANCED, REALIGNED AND HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE ROTOR AND SHOE REPLACEMENT (ALL 4) TO NO AVAIL. I'M IN WELL OVER $2500 SO FAR AND STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. I WORK 78 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE SO I'M LOGGING WELL OVER 150 MILES PER DAY.
