Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Upon making a sharp right turn and returning on course, the steering began to oscillate as if not being able to center itself, wobbling, flopping right, left. I stopped, turned wheels right and left under resistance. I was able to work out the wobbling and continued. There were similar occurrences later. At 1000 miles later, I pulled out from a stop sign on hard left turn, went to straighten out, and steering locked on return. …”
NHTSA complaint #10521135, filed 2013-06, 104,000 miles“Ford f350 crewcab 4x4 high speed wheel wobble ( death wobble) happens at speeds of 65 or higher and hitting a bump in the road. Ford has looked at it , said the alignment was out and fix it. The wobble has happened three times sense then. Ford has sent a letter stating that the tire pressure needs to be correct, it is. This is a stock truck and when this happens I have to come to a complete stop before I can proceed and with anti lock brakes this is real scary.”
NHTSA complaint #10275802, filed 2009-07, 10,000 miles“My vehicle has what has been referred to as death wobble or oscilation of the steering wheel. At 30-50 miles an hour after hitting a a bump in the road the vehicle will shake violently, nearly throwing my vehicle from the roadway. Ford has suggested tire pressure as the cause. I have checked the tire pressure numerous times and the recommended tire pressure does not help. There 1000's of Ford super duty trucks on the road with this same issue. I have researched this issue and the issues need to be recalled by Ford for a proper fix.”
NHTSA complaint #10557146, filed 2013-12, 18,000 miles“I was driving down the highway at around 65mph and went over a expansion joint on a bridge and the front end of the truck started shaking so bad that it ripped the steering wheel out of my hand. I had to come to a complete stop to make the shaking stop, I thought I had a front tire blow out,nearly hit the car in the lane next to me. I took it back to the dealer they put a new steering dampener on it and said try it, but it will probably not be any better, then the next fix is to put on a bigger steering wheel so I can hold on better when it happens. …”
NHTSA complaint #10463493, filed 2012-06, 26,500 miles“2007 Ford f-350 crew cab srw 4x4, steering oscillation (wobble). Have experienced this problem since truck was almost new. Now have 61 k miles and it is alot worse. As the 08 and 09 investigations revealed, the steering wobble happens when crossing uneven pavement, concrete, dips in the road, railroad crossings (at slow speeds). Happens while empty and when towing a flatbed gooseneck trailer and/or my 5th wheel rv. This has not been resolved by Ford yet and they don not know how to fix. I believe it is a bad steering box?? They only want to use us/me as guinea pigs to fix. …”
