Consumer Description

Experienced extreme steering wheel oscillation at 45 mph on freeway on-ramp. Oscillation was so extreme I had to pull off freeway and stop to regain normal steering control. Went to Ford dealership and they informed me I experienced the “Death Wobble “ That was the first time I had heard of the Death Wobble. Dealer replaced front steering dampener and recommended other linkage components be replaced. Steering Stabilizer was replaced under warranty 20NO4. Truck had 17429 miles. So after doing research on this I have found that it is a common problem from 2005-2019 Ford trucks and there has been no recall. This is a huge safety problem. Talk to a dealer service manger and explain you had extreme steering wheel oscillation on your Ford truck and they will say you have the “Death Wobble “. Not sure what would happen while towing a 10,000 lbs fifth wheel rv.
