Description of the problem | The truck hit a small bump in the road while driving around 45 mph and then started shaking uncontrollably. Felt almost like the tire fell off. Was very hard to keep on the road. After slowing down the shaking stopped. Very scary situation to be in. Took truck to ford service and was told this was the "death wobble" that many f250's experience. Parts were replaced per fords technical bulletin, but from our understanding this problem may re-occur. Very dangerous to drive. Would like to see a more permanent assured fix. |
