NHTSA complaint #10543396, filed 2013-09, 10,600 miles“The vehicle shakes violently on the road when I go over a bump when traveling at 65mph or higher. I have to slow down to 50mph or below to get it to subside.”
NHTSA complaint #11326921, filed 2020-06, 155,892 miles“My 2007 Ford f250, superduty 4x4, harley davidson edition (all stock), experienced extreme cavitation, or wobble, and violent shaking to the steering and front suspension after encountering a mild series of bumps while traveling about 50mph. This has occurred on 3 occasions. I have read 100's upon 100's of complaints online about this same problem with several different year model Ford trucks. …”
NHTSA complaint #10386299, filed 2011-03, 69,900 miles“When driving my Ford F-250 45 MPH and over and hitting any kind of bump the front end shakes severely. The brakes when applied will stop the shaking. The damper was replaced but it did not help. If the bump and the speed was great enough it would cause you to crash. The truck has 38,000 mi. And the dealer tells me there is no recall and it is not under warranty. I plan on taking it to an independent front end specialist to diagnose the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10273581, filed 2009-06, 36,500 miles“Recently, while driving my Ford f250 truck, I have experienced the Ford's death wobble' on three separate occasions. After driving over a bump in the roadway, the front end starts wobbling to the point that I have to brake and pull over just to stay in control of my vehicle. When this death wobble' occurs, it causes the driver has to fight the steering wheel and apply braking just to stay in control of the vehicle. It is a real safety concern!!!! Recently, I have read several articles identify the problems with Ford's front end and their solutions to fix the fronts ends. …”
