Description of the problem | Death wobble - the uncontrollable death wobble has struck at highway speeds a total of seven times with my 2017 ford super duty. The steering wheel and the entire truck shakes violently, to the point of being uncontrollable, until the truck slows down to about 40 mph. This is a very concerning safety issue, and even more surprising is that ford does not have this under a recall! As we researched what the problem was, it became very apparent that ford has a problem with their super duty trucks and steering. When the death wobble strikes it is extremely concerning. This condition has not been fixed due to parts being on back order. This is indeed a serious safety issue. |
