2011 Ford F-250 SD Wheels Problems

“For the past 3-4 years my truck has experienced the death wobble. When driving (straight or in slight turn) approximately 55 MPH or higher and hitting a typical bump in the road, my truck begins a violent shaking that stops when I reduce the speed enough to regain control. I have attempted repairs at two local Ford dealerships as well as a local repair shop, but nothing done has corrected the issue.”

“The truck will experience really bad wobble/bounce at 35-55mph speeds. I installed a dual steering stabilizer thinking maybe it just needs an upgrade. The rear end seems to be the problem. Every bump is felt. The cab moves and rotates back and forth as if someone is shaking the seat. The tail bed is visibly bouncing up and down the interstate or any speeds over 40mph. The rear end has too much play in it!!I believe that it is causing the frame to bend and suspension parts to go bad over time.”

“We have had about four occasions where our truck suddenly begins to shake and vibrate, cannot control the shimmy until you can slow it down under 30 MPH. It happened three times at about 33,000 miles. Two times it was coming off bridge, hitting a steel channel at the junction and one time a large hole. All three times it was one wheel hitting the hole or depression before the other wheel hit. We took it to Ford dealership.....no ideas there. They rebalanced the left tire and no more problems until today when it happened again when coming off a bridge. …”

“We have a 2011 diesel Ford f250 super duty pickup. It is like new, but has developed a serious mechanical defect. When it had less than 20,000 miles it began having the 'death wobble'. We have consistently tried to get the local Ford dealership in bend, oregon and Ford motor corporation to resolve this death threatening mechanical problem with no luck. This started occurring when driving over 40 miles per hour if at anytime a bump, rough road, or pothole in the road is hit. Now it can't even be driven that fast without violently and uncontrollably going into the death wobble. …”

“As I was driving on a road at a speed that was greater than 50 MPH I hit a bump in the road. The front end of the truck and the steering wheel began to shake so violently that I thought they were going to fall off. This had happened beginning around late november early december of 2012. It did it several more times and I contacted the dealer about this problem. The truck was serviced and nothing in the front end was found to be damaged and it was recommended that I replace the tires on the truck. The tires were replaced and the truck has been fine for the past year. …”
