2005 FORD F 250 CREWCAB 4X4 FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BOUNCES AROUND TO WHERE OTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAY HAVE TO SWERVE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I JUST RECENTLY HAD THE STEERING STABILIZER, DRAG LINK BAR AND SHOCKS ON THE TRUCK REPLACED ALONG WITH TIGHTENING THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING. *TR

STEERING ISSUE WITH MY FORD SUPERDUTY F250. SINCE DAY 1 THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE TENDS TO WANDER. FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING A BUMPER CAR IN TRAFFIC ONLY HOPING YOU DO NOT HIT ANYONE. FORD ENGINEER SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY SUPPOSE TO HAVE FIXED. IT HELPED FOR A WHILE APROX. 21/2 YEARS BUT AS THE TRUCK GETS OLDER IT IS STARTING TO WANDER MORE. HAS ABOUT 1-1 1/2" OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ITS LIKE DRIVING A 1968 FORD. HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD BUYERS WITH SAME ISSUE. FORD SENT A NOTIFICATION A WHILE BACK AND STATED THAT WHEN THIS WANDERING OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING TO JUST SLOW DOWN. WELL THAT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY EXCEPT MY WIFE AND I TOOK OUR 2 HORSES TO FLAGSTAFF ,AZ. A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR A TRAIL RIDE COMING UP FROM PHOENIX, AZ. WE...

I EXPERIENCED A SEVERE AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF MY 2005 FORD F-250 TRUCK WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH OVER A SLIGHT ROUGH PATCH ON A HIGHWAY. I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS FORCED TO SWERVE OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE LAST MONTH. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL INSPECTION STATION AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND DID AN ALIGNMENT. THIS DID NOT HELP. I HAVE CALLED THE FORD DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY FORD TRUCK. OBVIOUSLY, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HOPE THERE IS A RECALL BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE DIE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 FORD F-250 CREW CAB 4X4 LONG BED TRUCK ALL STOCK. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MILES PER HOUR I EXPERIENCE VIOLENT SHAKING FROM THE FRONT END WHICH IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE AFTER DOING RESEARCH. FORD SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND THAT IT IS FINE. THE WOBBLE ONLY STOPS WHEN MY SPEED IS DECREASED UNDER 40 MPH OR SO. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL AND REQUIRES YOU TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE FOUNDS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 05-06 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME DOZENS OF TIMES AND I'M TIRED OF IT. I PUT A LARGER SIZE TIRE ALL THE WAY AROUND AND IT DIDN'T HELP ANY. *TR

FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING FASTER THAN 50 MPH WHEN YOU HIT A SMALL IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. *TR
