Description of the problem | While in motion, this vehicle has had violent shaking at highway speeds 60-70mph and at low speeds of 30-40mph. The steering wheel violently shakes from side to side along with the entire truck shaking violently. It nearly caused an accident twice while traveling on the highway with very light load in the bed (approximately 110lbs). This has been coined the "death wobble" from other f-250 owners that have experienced this issues as well. It seems that hitting a bump causes issues within the suspension and steering. |
