2005 Ford F-250 Wheels Problems

“2005 Ford f250 with approximately 19,100 miles. Original factory tires, suspension- no modifications. Tire pressure set to factory door label specs. On monday, 8-19-2019 while on I-95, travel speed at about 60 m.p.h., I drove over a bridge expansion joint & the entire truck started shaking violently. Steering wheel was vibrating/shaking making it difficult for me to maintain control of the truck in my established lane and nearly took out several cars in the adjacent lanes nearly causing multi-vehicle collision. …”

“I was on the interstate driving 70 MPH when I hit a small bump in the road which caused my truck to shake violently and lose control of steering which took me off the road into the center median. This could have easily been a head on collision in different circumstances.”

“The wheels on my truck are cracking and breaking. They are 20x8 inch forged aluminum factory installed oem equipment. This is the second wheel I have had to replace at a very expensive cost.

The tire caused minor damage to the wheel well and had to obviously be changed. Tire was replaced by discount. Problem lies in the fact that we bought four tires all from the same stock. …”

“In 2014, I got the “Ford death wobble” in the right front. VERY scary and dangerous. Trying to quickly slow down to stop it in traffic is almost as dangerous as the wobble itself. You have very little to no control with the steering when it happens. I had to repair the problem out of pocket because Ford won’t do anything about it. Now, two weeks ago, I had the same death wobble happen at 70 mph on the left front. So frightening. My passengers thought we had a blowout and we’re about to crash. I successfully slowed it down but this problem is a road hazard to me and everyone else on the road. …”
