“While driving down I-75 I noticed my husbands front tires wobbling and shaking uncontrollably on 3 different occasions in less than 30 miles. This is not the first time this has happened. We have had the truck serviced many times trying to fix the issue but it still persists. This is something Ford should be held responsible for. It is putting our lives and others in danger.”

Only stops wobbling when I am able to get the truck to slow down below 60 miles a hour. Started happening 3 months ago. Has been happening much more frequently recently.”
NHTSA complaint #11362626, filed 2020-10, 64,000 miles“Truck will start to violently shake while on interstate after going over ruff road or bridge joint. It seems like the wheels are going to break off. This happened to me numerous times. First time I got new tires and alignment. The last time this occurred was on the way home from school and we passed over a bridge joint. The truck started to shake so much the kids started to scream daddy daddy!! I applied the breaks as calmly as I could but I had 18 wheeler on both sides and just had to keep applying breaks until I got the vehicle down to approximately 35 MPH when the shaking subsided. …”

NHTSA complaint #10872724, filed 2016-06, 26,210 miles“My 2013 Ford F250 Superduty has the DEATH WOBBLE problems with the front steering/suspension. This problem should be fixed before it gets someone killed. My first occurrence happened while I was on US-64 West bound near Raleigh, NC while traveling at ~70mph (the posted speed limit). Narrowly avoid other vehicles while trying to maintain control and get stopped.”
