“While driving front end wobbles violently when you hit a bump. Truck is hard to hang on to and steer. I've read several threads that this is common. This is crazy that there has not been a recall. I'm not happy I've replace mine 3 times and it's doing it again. I bought this truck brand new.”
NHTSA complaint #11075986, filed 2018-03, 65,000 miles“At highway speed I hit a bump on the freeway. The front end of the truck immediately began to shudder violently and uncontrollably. I removed my foot from the accelerator and coasted once the vehicle speed reduces to about 45mph the shudder stopped. This has happened before but only lasts 1 or 2 seconds.”
NHTSA complaint #10993901, filed 2017-06, 52,250 miles“While traveling at interstate speed of 60-70 MPH my f350 will start violently shaking, what is commonly know as the death wobble. It can only be stopped by sharply braking the vehicle. I have experienced this violent shaking more than 20 times during the last two years. I have had several different vendors recommend and make repairs. For example, u-joint, stabilizer shock, tie rods, shocks, alignment. I continue to have incidences with the front going out of control. …”

Usually happens when on a slight turn to the left and meets a small to medium bump as you pass over a bridge to road connection for example! A small chug hole will set it off too! Welcome to houston! So far it has never happened on a straight away...fingers crossed. In my work I tow a 36' travel trailer racking up about 40-60 thousand miles a year! Again...so far it has not happened while towing! …”
