Went I came off the bridge and went over a little bump my vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. First I was yanked to the left and then I was able to steer it to the right. I could not control the vehicle until I was in the breakdown lane. I was almost struck by two tractor trailers who, by the grace of god where paying attention and braked before colliding with me! The shaking was so violent that my arms hurt for two days after. …”

NHTSA complaint #10763032, filed 2015-09, 37,000 miles“I have what the Ford dealerships and master mechanics call the Ford death wobble . Type or surface of road makes no difference, nor does speed. Hitting a bump, or expansion joint on the highway or bridge causes the front end of the truck to shake so vilently I have to slam on breaks and come to a complete stop to bring the truck back under control. I have no photos however, social media, utube, etc. Has an overwhelming amount of videos on this problem. I have contacted Ford and I've been told there have been no reports on this issue, and therefore no recall. …”
