2012 FORD F-350 SD Suspension Problems

High speed wobble in front end Goes away of You slow down Getting worse Very scary, pulls steering wheel out of my grasp Wife refusing to ride in the truck

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 50 - 60MPH TOWING MY 12,000 LB 5TH WHEEL TRAILER, OFTEN IF I DRIVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, MY 2012 FORD F350 WILL START TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE FROM THE FRONT STEERING. I HAVE HAD PARTS REPLACED, ALIGNMENT DONE, NEW TIRES, NEW SHOCKS, BUT NOTHING STOPS THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T TOW MY TRAILER ANYMORE. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN NOT TOWING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS TO BE SAFE. THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION. FORD SEEMS TO IGNORE IT. PLEASE HELP

FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK DEVELOPED A SEVERE VIBRATION AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT INSTANTLY. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DRASTICALLY WHICH CAUSED OTHER TRAFFIC TO HAVE TO AVOID ME. INVESTIGATED ONLINE, THEY EVEN HAVE A NICK NAME "DEATH WABBLE" I FOUND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CASES IN 15 MINUTES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. HELP US

TRUCK HAS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION STARTED TO BOUNCE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAS BEEN IN FOR DRAG LINK REPLACEMENT AND STEERING DAMPENER REPLACEMENT WHICH CORRECT ISSUE TEMPORARILY FOR A FEW MONTHS BEFORE IT BEGINS TO HAPPEN AGAIN DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND TRIES TO BLAME THE ISSUE ON ROAD CONDITIONS OR TIRE WEAR OR TIRE PRESSURE ON INTERNET SEARCHES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND FORD HAS NOT FIXED IT YET. WHEN THIS BOUNCING HAPPENS IT IS QUITE SCARY AND REALLY THROWS THE TRUCK AROUND IT DOES NOT STOP BOUNCING UNTIL THE SPEED IS SLOWED TO AROUND 35 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER BY THROWING THE TRUCK INTO A MEDIAN OR INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DURING THE BOUNCING CONDITION

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY CALL THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AFTER HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS / POT HOLES, THE FRONT WHEELS START TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY, VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AS THE MILEAGE INCREASES ON MY TRUCK, THE INCIDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND INTENSE. TODAY, 04/09/2014, I ALMOST GOT KILLED ... LITERALLY ! ON I-65 SOUTH OF LAFAYETTE INDIANA, HIT A SERIOUS OF ROAD PATCH BUMPS AND HOLES ... THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE AND IT WENT INTO A FRENZY, THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY. CARS AROUND ME WERE DIVERTING AWAY, AND A SEMI WAS PUSHING HARD FROM BEHIND AND HIT HIS AIR BRAKES, I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. APPLYING THE BRAKES ONLY MADE IT WORSE. I AM A 6' 3" STRONG MUSCULAR MAN, AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OR DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I STARTED IN THE RIGHT...

I AM EXPERIENCING WOBBLE AND SHAKING FROM THE FRONT END AFTER ANY VARIATION OF THE ROAD, TURNING WITHOUT ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD, TURNING WITH BUMPS IS WORSE, STRAIGHT LINE WOBBLE AFTER SLIGHT BUMPS ETC. IT IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE AND IS CUPPING THE FRONT TIRES CONSIDERABLY, ( WHEN I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR ROTATION I WAS TOLD THAT THEY RECOMMEND THAT I PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES INSTEAD OF ROTATION FOR A DUALLY) I HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED ANYWAY. THE TRUCK HAS LOW MILEAGE, FAR TO LOW TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS SEVERE OF SHAKE. WHEN I TOOK IT RECENTLY ( 3/18/2014) TO THE DEALER HE SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WORN. EITHER THEY HAVE A POORLY ENGINEERED DESIGN OR INFERIOR PARTS OR BOTH. I WILL BE USING THIS VEHICLE FOR TOWING A TRAILER IN THE FUTURE AND I AM UPSET TO THINK WHAT POSSIBLE SCENARIOS...

DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE DRIVER SIDE ONLY. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THE FRONT END AND QUICKLY THE ENTIRE TRUCK FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS SHAKING APART AND WAS SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING GOT WORSE UNTIL ABOUT 15 MPH, IT THEN STOPPED. I THEN GOT UP TO 60 MPH AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THEN GOT UP TO 50 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THEN GOT UP TO 40 MPH AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AT THAT SPEED. I DROVE 100 MILES HOME AT 40 MPH ON A MAIN HIGHWAY. TODAY I AM BRINGING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, I WILL DO 40 MPH ALL THE WAY THERE. I WILL NOT TOW MY HORSES TRAILER WITH THIS VEHICLE,...

THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE 30TH TIME MY FORD F-350 HAS HAD A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 69 BETWEEN PRESCOTT VALLEY AND PRESCOTT WHEN IT STARTED. IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND HIT THE MEDIAN. THE OTHER VEHICLES MUST HAVE NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHAKING BECAUSE ALL OF THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME BACKED WAY OFF. ONCE AGAIN I REPORTED IT TO FORD AND TOOK IT IN RIGHT AWAY. THEY TOLD ME AGAIN THAT IF IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AND SENT ME HOME WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F-350 BUT FORD REFUSES TO RECALL OR FIX IT. I FOUND TONS OF INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE AS WELL AS YOUTUBE VIDEOS TAKEN OF THE EVENTS HAPPENING. *TR

WHEN CROSSING OVER SOME MINOR PAVEMENT IRREGULARITY, BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT ETC - THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I MUST HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO TRY AND KEEP FROM LOSING CONTROL. IT IS WIDELY KNOWN ON THE FORD TRUCK FORUMS AS "THE DEATH WOBBLE" HERE IS A UTUBE VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8EUQ6F8RGT4 CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF FOLKS ON THE FORD TRUCK FORUM THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED IT - AND THE FACT THAT MOST SUPER DUTY OWNERS ARE NOT EVEN ON THIS FORUM THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT APPEARS FROM WHAT I CAN SEE IT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO 4X4 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. HELP!! *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 1/7/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE HE WAS EXPERIENCING A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE STEERING AND THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING LINKAGE. THE DEALER EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAD BEEN MODIFIED AND THE SHAKE WAS DUE TO A 2 INCH LIFT,...
