NHTSA Complaint #11399799 — 2015 FORD F-250

THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED THE TRUCK WAS FIVE YEARS OLD I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED, PASSED OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT OF A BRIDGE, ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, I THOUGHT A HAD BLOWN A TIRE, BUT AS I SLOWED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE TRUCK "SMOOTHED OUT" AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY. HOWEVER IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES THAT TRIP, EACH AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55-75) AND WOULD BE "TRIGGERED" BY SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE THEY ROTATED THE TIRES, DID A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO REOCCUR. HAS BEEN BACK TO A DIFFERENT GARAGE 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES: TIE ROD, DRAG LINK, TRACK BAR JOINTS/BUSHINGS, SHOCKS, ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACED, HOWEVER WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD CONTINUE TO INDUCE UNCONTROLLABLE FRONT END SHAKING. SO FAR I HAVE PAID JUST UNDER $2500, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND MY MECHANIC IS UNSURE WHAT IS LEFT TO TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ONLINE SEARCH REVEALS THIS TO BE THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE".
