Description of the problem | When driving down interstate above 60 mph on 11/14/2019, i hit a bump and the steering wheel and front suspension became to vibrate and shaking violently almost like the front driver side tire was going to come off. Took it to a dealership and they stated it experience the "death wobble" and that there is an issue with the front suspension on newer model f350 trucks. I had to keep the vehicle under 60 mph in order to maintain control when the vehicle hit any bump in the roadway in order to maintain control of the vehicle. The entire suspension seemed to vibrate up and down anytime it hit a bump in the roadway when trying to go highway speeds. |
