Consumer Description

I was driving on interstate and hit bump on a bridge and the front of the truck began to shake violently. I could not steer truck. I applied the brakes and it got worse. I got the truck below 40mph and the shaking stopped. My safety and others were at risk because I couldn’t steer the truck. I took the truck to an alignment and front end shop and they told me that this was common in the Ford F250 called a death wobble. I am currently trying to-get to ford dealer. I will not be driving the truck after researching the problem ford has with this vehicle. It is a life threatening event when this happens. I bought the truck from a friend and contacted him after the event happened and he said it happened to him he took to ford dealer and they fixed in 2020 and it didnt happen again. He said the replaced a damper on truck. Truck only has 24000 miles so these things shouldnt be happening.
