Description of the problem | Stock, as delivered by the dealer, 2017 f250 superduty 4x4 fx4 with 20,xxx miles. Three events have occurred so far.. At speeds around 55mph the front end starts to shake violently after hitting bump.(death wobble). The bump that initiated the violent shaking of the truck and loss of steering control were not major bumps and on state highways. You loose control of steering the truck until the vehicle is below 25mph. Found numerous references of this occurring when searching issue on line. Dealer says it an known issue and would replace a steering component bushing under warranty. Asked if this would solve the issue. Was told to try an aftermarket dual stabilizer. Dealer would not cover under warranty. Sounded to me like they component that was damaged would be replace but the cause of the component failure would not be resolved. |
