Description of the problem | 2017 f-250 currently has 19,000 miles. 100 percent stock vehicle. Has severe shaking of the steering wheel and wheels of the truck on concrete roads at 60 mph. Has happened four times now. First time happened when pulling a horse trailer on the interstate. The truck had approximately 17,000 miles at the time. Almost caused a horrible accident. Was the most violent shaking i have ever felt in a vehicle. I was able to barely get control of the truck. There needs to be a recall. This is a severe safety problem. That will cause accidents. I thought this was a freak incident but has become more common. Called the death wobble according to the internet. Has happened 3 more times while not pulling anything at highway speed of 60mph and i am scared to drive this truck on highways or interstates. |
