2003 Ford F-250 Steering Problems

“Driving 50-60 hit a bump and the truck goes into a violent wobble, unable to control the breaks and steering. This last time I was on the interstate and it caused me to enter the lane next to me nearly causing an accident. The other driver was able to avoid me. When the shaking stops, the truck runs smooth without any sign of a problem. I am afraid of my families safety!!!”

“Driving 60 MPH or greater and hit a bump the front end will violently shake and you have to pull over and slow way down to stop it. There was a recall for nr 62 parts but that doesn't stop the dodge death wobble. This is going to cause an accident and kill someone. Dodge will not reimburse me for the repairs that I paid for that included the recall nr62. The repairs were done before I received the recall. In the recall it is stated that they would pay for repairs if they were already done. Everyone one seems to know about the dodge death wobble but won't fix it.”

“When traveling at highway speeds and you hit a pothole or bump in the road the front end of the vehicle shimmies to point of being uncontrollable. Once you slow down the problem goes away. This has occured on at least 3 different occasions. Once at approximate mileage 16,100, 20,600 and 21,009. The speed was at highway speed 60-65 MPH.”

“2003 f250, upon hitting a pot hole in the highway the truck began to shake violently and uncontrollably, resulting in a quick braking and exit of highway. Once at low speeds problem did not persist, only happened after impact with pot hole.”
