Consumer Description

I am now experiencing the second instance of the "death wobble". The first instance was at approximately 20,000 miles. Ford repaired this previously but now the problem has returned; at 50,000 miles. I reported the first instance to nhtsa. My vehicle's left front wheel began shaking violently, as if I had a blow out, upon driving over a rough pavement joint. I was driving 65 mph in lane two of a three lane highway. I luckily was able to slow down to about 15 mph, cross one lane of heavy traffic without being involved in a life threatening accident. Being rear ended was a real possibililty. We all know this happens frequently with these larger pickups, especially the ones with the camper package. I think it is time your organization addressed this problem.
