NHTSA Complaint #11406099 — 2015 FORD F-350

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE FRONT END BEGINS TO OSCULATE OR BOUNCE FROM RIGHT WHEEL TO LEFT WHEEL IN A RAPID MOTION COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES WITHOUT MAKING THE PROBLEM ANY BETTER. POSSIBLY IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AFTER THE VISITS. THE WOBBLE SEVERELY DIMINISHES CONTROL OF THE 9500LB VEHICLE AND HAS CAUSED ME TO DODGE INTO BARRICADED CONSTRUCTION ZONES AMONG OTHER DANGEROUS MANEUVERS, TO GAIN CONTROL. I HAVE POSTED VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE SHOWING 6 INSTANCES (I HAVE MANY MORE) OF THE WOBBLE AND BELONG TO A RAPIDLY GROWING GROUP OF THOUSANDS OF FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE TYPICALLY TAKES PLACE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN UN-EVEN PAVEMENT IS DRIVEN OVER AND THE LEFT & RIGHT WHEEL DO NOT HIT THE BUMP AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. EXAMPLES WOULD BE A BRIDGE TRANSITION AT A 20-30^ ANGLE OR JUST DILAPIDATED TOP LAYER OF ASPHALT. ESPECIALLY PRONE TO ACTIVATION WHEN THE ROAD IS CURVING LEFT AND THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL HITS A SMALL BUMP.
