2013 Ford F-350 Steering Problems

“Several different times while driving on the highway at highway speeds ranging from 55 to 65 MPH I have hit a small bump or uneven pavement which has caused my truck to go into an uncontrollable death wobble. It shakes so violently that I almost lose control and have to slow to almost a stop before it quits.”

“I was driving approximately 56 miles per hour on a highway when I experienced a horrible wobble of the front end of the truck. I immediately stopped and took it to the nearest dealer who told me that they did not know what could have caused this. They replaced almost all components in the front end of the truck including the track bar, stabilizer, bearings, and all associated bushings. Several days later I was driving on a different road around 60 miles per hour and experienced the same issue.”

“2 weeks ago I got the terrible death wobble and almost wrecked the truck as well as me almost having a heart attack . I was going 60 MPH (speed limit is 65) on a dual lane highway and hit a small pothole and hit the brakes making it 10 times worse. I pulled over to the side of the road and checked everything out and it seemed to be ok. Had it checked out by a mechanic friend and we replaced the steering stabilizer. Did good for 2 weeks and ran up on stopped traffic and the worst happened twice as bad as the first time. …”

“My Ford f350 super duty 4wd has had the front end rebuilt 3 times for what is commonly called the death wobble . Driving at highway speeds of 60 to 75 MPH on straight dry pavement the front end wheels will start an oscillating and up and down movement that is so violent that it is difficult to hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking of the vehicle is so pronounced that items fly out of door pockets, the console and cup holders. Vehicles behind me and next to me are forced to apply their brakes in an emergency response to a possible collision. …”

“2013 f350 front end violent shaking after running over a bump on highway going 60 MPH,this made the truck lose all steering control. With applied braking the situation only got worse. The vehicle ended up on the center line creating a very dangerous situation with other vehicles around. We only gained control of the situation when the vehicle slowed to 45 MPH. This situation occurred twice in one day.”
