Consumer Description

On 03/19/2022 at about noon I was driving my F-250 eastbound on SR 60 (Courtney Campbell CSWY) headed to Tampa, FL. this was a Saturday & the area was very congested. The speed limit is 60 mph. I was traveling about 50 to 55 mph. Suddenly the truck started to vibrate at a rate that it actually bounced or jumped on the road. It was everything I could do to maintain control & get the vehicle slowed down & off the highway. I thought I had a wheel(s) coming off the vehicle. I inspected the tires/wheels/overall vehicle before getting back on the road & returning home. On Monday 03/21/2022 I contacted Ferman Ford in Clearwater, FL to get it in for service to determine what is the problem. Ferman Ford could not get to my truck until 03/29/2022. I then went on-line to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. I found a number of articles that spoke to the F-250 & F-350 having a problem called the "DEATH WOBBLE". What was described in these articles is exactly what I experienced. It was so violent that my wife (who was with me when this occurred) is now not comfortable with riding in my truck. Needing the use of my truck & not able to replace it I authorized the repairs & am now stuck with a $2433.64 bill that Ford will not accept as there problem...defect. I am very disappointed in corporate Ford for not doing a recall & resolving this on going problem that has possible life & injury impacts.
