2007 Ford F-250 STEERING,SUSPENSION

Have owned this truck for a couple of years and have been enduring the "Death Wobble" over the local train tracks, but I am always able to control my speed. But the other day while traveling down the interstate, I hit a pothole and truck was shaking until brought the truck to a stop. Luckily I was able to get off the road, but this event could have been much worse. Apparently this is a known problem, and it is a shame that the manufacturer has not fixed this obvious safety issue.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY ON THE ROAD WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH OR HIGHER. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 50MPH OR BELOW TO GET IT TO SUBSIDE. *TR

RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F250 TRUCK, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FORD'S DEATH WOBBLE' ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY, THE FRONT END STARTS WOBBLING TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO BRAKE AND PULL OVER JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN THIS DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURS, IT CAUSES THE DRIVER HAS TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL AND APPLY BRAKING JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN!!!! *TR RECENTLY, I HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS WITH FORD'S FRONT END AND THEIR SOLUTIONS TO FIX THE FRONTS ENDS. AS USUAL, FORD COMES UP WITH EXCUSES AND NOT A SOLUTION TO REPAIR THEIR PRODUCTS. THERE IS PLENTY OF DOCUMENTATION (U-TUBE VIDEO) ON-LINE DOCUMENTING THE SERIOUS OF THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS TIME THAT YOUR AGENCY TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND SEE THAT FORD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 F 250 DIESEL AND EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMP AT 45MPH TO 65MPH MY TRUCK SHAKES LIKE CRAZY IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A FIX BUT NOTHING IS DONE I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THIS WILL COST AN ACCIDENT I HOPE THE THIS MATER IS TAKEN CARE SOON THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

HIGH SPEED WHEEL OSCILLATION OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF INTERSTATE 275 AROUND CINCINNATI, OHIO. I HIT A BUMP ON THE EXIT OF THE INTERSTATES BRIDGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK REALLY BAD LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER LAST YEAR WARNING ME ABOUT THIS CONDITION. I DID NOT THINK I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT CRASH THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE OSCILLATION OCCURRED. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS FOR THE F250 HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR *JS

AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT END THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING CAUSING A TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER HITTING BUMPS, POT HOLES OR UNEVEN SURFACES. *TR

HIT A BUMP ON INTERSTATE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 OR IT WAS GOING TO SHAKE ME OFF THE ROAD, I COULD BARELY HOLD ON, BROUGHT IS IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS TIRE PRESSURE, WHICH WAS ABOUT 70LBS NOT THE RECOMMEDED 75, COME ON THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL DOING IT YEARS LATER, WNET BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS A BRAKE HANGING UP AND RIPPED ME OFF FOR PARTS, STILL DOES IT. I HAVE NOW PUT ON TIRES TIE ROD ENDS BALL JOINTS STEERING DAMPENER, SHOCKS AND STILL DOES IT. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. MAKE THEM FIX THIS AND COMPENSATE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE TRIED TO DO SO ON OUR OWN BECAUSE THEY WON'T ACCEPT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TT
