“While driving on 4 lane highway at 70 MPH, I encountered the death wobble. I immediately had to brake as there was an 18 wheeler coming up on the passing lane. This happened twice on this stretch of highway. After reading all the issues regarding the death wobble, its time Ford does a recall before there is a death and Ford gets a lawsuit.”
NHTSA complaint #11399476, filed 2021-03, 84,000 miles“While making turns you are unable to turn wheel back straight as it locks up in city driving. Was told by Ford dealer where we bought truck new that we needed track bar bushing and ball joints. Drag link bar. Tie rod end replacement both outer tie rods. This has been and issue for several of our friends also but they caught there's under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11083996, filed 2018-04, 70,000 miles“Death wobble. When the truck hits a bump or even just a rough road at 60 MPH or higher the steering is uncontrollable until I slow down to 20 MPH. It shakes violently and is dangerous, I have to slow down even when I'm on the freeway and cars have to take action to prevent an accident. This is life threatening”
NHTSA complaint #11341746, filed 2020-07, 75,000 miles“While accelerating to merge onto the highway this morning I hit a bump this caused the truck to start to wobble violently. I put on the brakes to slow the vehicle but it continued to wobble until I pulled to the shoulder of the highway. It nearly caused a accident. Scared me to death. I know others have had the same issue. Please do something about this before someone dies!”
NHTSA complaint #11279338, filed 2019-11, 50,000 miles“My truck started doing the death wobble within the first year of ownership. I owned a Ford dealership from 1993 to 1998. I've been driving f350 trucks gor 40 years. This is totally unacceptable. This is a major safety hazard. Ford must do something to gix the problem. While driving on i80 while going 70 miles an hour I hit a small lip on the bridge. I've pretty much quit driving my truck because it is happening more often.”
