“There is a noticeable and worsening wobbling/ shaking of the front end of my vehicle at 70-75 MPH while driving and the vehicle occasionally is very unsteady after hitting a pothole or other obstacle at speed. I have recently purchased new tires on the truck and had them re-balanced (at 26k miles), the dealer has replaced the front end steering stabilizer and the problem continues.”
NHTSA complaint #11323987, filed 2020-05, 26,000 miles“Truck has experienced multiple occasions of death wobble since purchase. Excessive unexplained tire wear on the passenger front tire. On second tire on passenger front. Have 81k miles on truck and all other tires are wearing normal. Have had truck in alignment twice with no issues showing with alignment, wheels have been balanced. Ford service tech contacted Ford engineer and told me to increase air pressure to 100psi on front tires, I questioned this since door tag states 90psi. Still same issues, all recalls have been done. …”
NHTSA complaint #11453819, filed 2022-02“30k miles on truck and have had persisting issues with a shaking front end / steering wheel while driving at speed. What many folks refer to as “death wobble”. Dealer has replaced drag link and steering stabilizer and I replaced tires prematurely out of my own pocket, none of which have solved the issue. Ford needs to figure this out. I’ve owned 2 other superduty trucks and they have all had it to some extent. Issue causes uncontrolled shaking in steering wheel of varying intensities. Extremely dangerous when it’s happened to me on the highway sending you into another lane.”
