Description of the problem | This complaint is referring to the death wobble on the ford super duty. Death wobble defined as uncontrolled oscillation of steering wheel and front wheels causing lack of control of the vehicle. I first experienced this issue when truck had ~ 20000 miles. I had vehicle service by ford dealership @ ~ 28000 miles and was told steering dampener was replaced. Death wobble reoccurred again ~10000 miles after service. However vehicle is now out of warranty and i do not have the funds to keep making frequent repairs. Death wobble is occuring at highway speeds when going over bridge expansion gaps, hitting potholes, or similar road bumps. |
