What 560 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Ford F-350 Super Crew

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS GOING OVER AN OVERPASS WHERE THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING AND SWERVING OUT OF CONTROL. MY FEAR WAS THAT I WAS GOING OVER THE BRIDGE! I WAS AFRAID TO HIT THE BREAK FOR FEAR IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE. SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND AS I SLOWED, I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS WHILE GOING OVER AN OVERPASS AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I AM UNSURE WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME IN ANY VEHICLE BEFORE AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 34 YEARS. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE!!! IT IS A DEATH TRAP!!!

VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING 60MPH OR HIGHER ON FREEWAYS AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. HAVE TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY TO REMAIN IN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN LAST 2 WEEKS.

WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55MPH, IF THE TRUCK ENCOUNTERS ANY ROUGH OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT SUCH AS A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL OSCILLATE VIOLENTLY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO CROSS THE CENTER LINE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE SPEED AND STOP THE OSCILLATION. HAD THERE BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WE WOULD HAVE HAD A COLLISION. I AM TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT FORD IS WORKING ON A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING DAMPENER ALONG WITH OTHER STEERING COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE PITMAN ARM. FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE HERE AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS REPORTED THE SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAVE DRIVEN HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE AS THIS. THIS IS BY FAR A GREATER DANGER THAN THE TWO RECALLS; ONE FOR THE TAILGATE OPENING, AND ONE FOR THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER FIRE RISK THAT I HAVE RECEIVED SO FAR. IF THIS ISSUE HAS NOT CAUSED ANY FATALITIES IN THE PAST, I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED.

NHTSA ODI 11308432

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO TRY AND FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT CONTINUES. IF YOU HIT A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE WHEELS VIBRATE OUT OF CONTROL AND SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK VIOLENTLY UNTIL SLOWING TO UNDER 40 MPH. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS, BUT STILL HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT. I AM PAYING RENTAL CAR FEES AND EXTENDED WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLES EVERY TIME I HAVE TO GO BACK, WHICH IS TOO OFTEN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FORD SHOULD BE FORCED INTO A RECALL TO FIX THIS UNCONTROLLED VIBRATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-350. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND THERE WITH AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING NOISE DETECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (SAMES KINGSVILLE FORD 2501 US-77, KINGSVILLE, TX 78363 (888) 903-4562) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE @ APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND GOING STRAIGHT, I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THERE WERE 4 PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK AND WE WERE PULLING A 21 FOOT BOAT APPROXIMATELY 4000 POUNDS. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE SO I LET OFF OF THE THROTTLE, THE SHAKING BECAME MORE VIOLENT AND BEGAN TO VEER UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE LEFT. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I COULD NOT SEE CLEARLY AND MY PASSENGERS THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS COMING APART. THE ONLY RECOURSE IN MY MIND WAS TO JAM ON THE BRAKES. THIS DID EVENTUALLY STOP THE SHAKING AFTER SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO A SPEED OF LESS THAN 30 MPH. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO SEMI'S OR OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND US AT THE TIME. THE STRESS OF THE SHAKING ON THE STEERING SYSTEM HAS NOW CAUSED VIBRATIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED FOR A VIBRATION PROBLEM ON 9/6/2019 WITH 20512 MILES ON IT. THERE IS NOW ONLY 23300 MILES ON THE TRUCK.

THE TRUCK DOES THE DEATH WOBBLE (FRONT END BOUNCES SIDE TO SIDE) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S BEEN IN 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT CONTINUES. I'M SCARED TO HAVE ANYONE IN MY FAMILY DRIVE THE TRUCK.

IN OCT. 2019 I WAS HEADED TO TEXAS FROM MINNESOTA WITH MY 2017 F-350 DIESEL WITH ONLY ABOUT 28,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PULLING MY 43 FT 5TH WHEEL TRAILER, I HIT A BUMP IN THE HWY WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, I HAD TO APPLY THE BREAKS HARD TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING AND ALL MOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. IT WAS A GOOD THING NO ONE WAS NEXT TO ME AS I ENDED UP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK DOWN TO AROUND 30 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME WHILE ON MY WAY TO TEXAS AND ONCE AGAIN IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY TILL I GOT IT SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO A FORD DEALER IN MINERAL WELL'S, TX AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I LEFT TX AND WAS GOING TO AZ, I WAS THERE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND HAD TO RETURN TO MN FOR 1 MONTH BUT LEFT MY 5TH WHEEL TRAILER BEHIND AND JUST DROVE THE TRUCK BACK, THEN ON 1/29/2020 I HEADED BACK TO AZ WITH MY TRUCK AND NOT PULLING ANYTHING. ON MY RETURN TRIP TO AZ I HIT A BUMP ON THE HWY AT 70 MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO ONCE AGAIN SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND HAD TO HIT THE BREAKS AND GET IT SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING, THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 6,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK SINCE IT'S REPAIR. NOW I'M BACK IN :AZ ( 1/31/2020) AND I HAVE A APPOINTMENT AT THE FORD DEALER HERE ON 2/13/2020 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN. THIS SHAKING GETS SO BAD THAT I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO KEEP THE TRUCK, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF FORD DOESN'T GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.

NHTSA ODI 11306552

THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND BOUNCES IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES ALMOST UNABLE TO CONTROL STEERING DIRECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH BOTH WHILE DRIVING ON 2 DIFFERENT HIGHWAYS AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD AND THE OTHER AFTER DRIVING OVER THE METAL END DAM AFTER THE APPROACH SLAB BEFORE A BRIDGE ON A GRADUAL LEFT TURN IN THE ROAD SENT ME IN THE SHOULDER. HAD TO SLOW TO 35MPH +\- TO REGAIN CONTROL AND NORMAL OPERATION.

MY 2017 FORD F350 HAS EXPERIENCED HEAVY STEERING OSCILLATION (DEATH WOBBLE) STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 30K MILES. THE OSCILLATION OCCURS WHILE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE MUST BE SLOWED TO BELOW 45-50 MPH TO STOP THE OSCILLATION. REDUCING MY SPEED TO 45-50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 75 MPH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AFTER THE LAST VISIT, I REPLACED MY TIRES THAT WERE NOT WORN PAST THE TREAD WARNING BARS AT THE REQUEST OF THE MANUFACTURER AND NOW I HAVE CONSTANT SHIMMING OF THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 55-70 MPH.

NHTSA ODI 11301771

REGULARLY EXPERIENCE VIOLENT SHAKING IN FRONT OF VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, SUCH AS BRIDGE JOINTS. MULTIPLE STEERING COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, INCLUDING TIRES, HOWEVER PROBLEM PERSISTS.

NHTSA ODI 11301804

DRIVING OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR AND HITTING POT HOLE, EXTREMELY ROUGH ROADS AND CROSSING A BRIDGE JOINS THE FRONT END SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, IT KEEP SHAKING AND GETTING WORSE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 45 MILES PER HOUR. I CALLED DEALER HE SAID TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER, BECAUSE PARTS FROM FORD ARE ON BACK ORDER, I DID REPLACE WITH A NEW STABILIZER, BUT THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS, A 2017 F 350 WITH 48,00MILES O SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SHAKING HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR

NHTSA ODI 11301609

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AROUND 75 MPH AND RAN OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN ROAD AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. WHOLE TRUCK SHOOK. SLOWED DOWN TO 60 AND IT STOPPED. PULLED OVER TO INSPECT UNDER FRONT END AND REAR. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OUT OF PLACE. GOT BACK ON H.W. AND GOT BACK UP TO 75 AND NO SHAKING. HIT ANOTHER SPOT ON A BRIDGE WHERE PAVEMENT CONNECTS BRIDGE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. WHICH I DID. REPLACED WITH FACTORY MICHELINS. THEY ALSO PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPER ON. GOT TRUCK BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND WHILE DRIVING UNDER 60 THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. ABOVE 60 THE STEERING STARTS SHAKING A BIT, BUT NOT LIKE THE DEATH WOBBLE. AT 75 MPH IT IS THE SAME, ALONG WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE A REAR END VIBRATION. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD CALL. HAVEN'T HEARD BACK IN MONTHS. SO, I CALLED AND THEY SAID THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. HAVING TO BORROW A CAR FROM MOTHER IN LAW TO GET AROUND. I PURCHASED A WARRANTY THAT WILL EXPIRE AT 60,000 AND WAS TOLD THAT IF I GO OVER, IT WILL STILL BE UNDER THE ORIGINAL CLAIM AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE $75 DEDUCTIBLE. I WILL GET THAT IN WRITING HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK. WITH THESE VIBRATIONS, IT KNOW IT WILL WEAR OUT OTHER FRONT END PARTS LIKE BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE REPLACED AT NO COST. DOUBTFUL! THIS IS MY 4TH FORD TRUCK AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TRUCKS. I HAVE ONLY 57,000 MILES AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FORD IS RUNNING FROM IT. VERY DISAPPOINTED. PLEASE HELP!

SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION AFTER HITTING BUMP OR AN EXPANSION JOINT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. VEHICLE HAS 40,000 MILES. HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST.

NHTSA ODI 11300288

SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION (AKA DEATH WOBBLE) WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH I ENCOUNTERED A SLIGHTLY ROUGH PATCH OF PAVEMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 10MPH AND THE OSCILLATIONS CEASED. FORD DOES HAVE A TSB OUT ON THE ISSUE BUT THEY ARE ONLY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER AND NOT LOOKING INTO THE ROOT CAUSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DAMPER HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AS WELL.

I HAVE 30000 MILES ON TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK ON LONG ROAD TRIPS WITH A TRUCK CAMPER LOADED IN THE BACK WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. I HAVE HAD SEVER WOBBLING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH HAS BIN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE 2 SMALL BOYS AND MY WIFE IN THE TRUCK ALONG WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK CAMPER AND IT IS STARTING TO SCARE ME. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING 60 OR MORE AND IF I HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF SOME SORT. EVEN THE SAFETY STRIPS IN THE ROAD CAN SEND THE TRUCK INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS AND ON MOUNTAIN ROADS AS WELL.

WHEN YOU DRIVE MY TRUCK DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH OR HIGHER IT AND I HIT A BUMP IT DEVELOPS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS NUMEROUS TIMES ALMOST PUT IN THE DITCH. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH OR OVER, AND IF A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD IS EXPERIENCED, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY SHAKY. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MY TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION ON ONE OCCASION. SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN SEEMS TO CAUSE THE VIBRATIONS TO GO AWAY TEMPORARILY, HOWEVER GOING 40MPH IS NOT A FIX AS THAT IS NOT A SAFE SPEED IN A 70MPH HIGHWAY ZONE. THIS 2017 F350 WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HAS LESS THAN 28K MILES ON IT. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND EXTREMELY SCARED TO HAVE FAMILY IN THE TRUCK IN THE EVENT OF TOTAL FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55MPH OR ABOVE), IF HITTING POTHOLES, EXPANSION JOINTS, ROUGH PATCHES, ETC. TRUCK STEERING WHEEL WILL START TO VIBRATE AND SHIMMY IN A UNCONTROLLABLE OR DISCONNECTED MANNER. THE PROBLEM IS WORSENED WHEN HITTING BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE IN A TURN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRUCK CAN NOT BE STEERED CORRECTIVELY. HAD THE ISSUE LOOKED AT BY FORD DEALER 3 TIMES AT THIS POINT WITH VARIOUS FIXES INCLUDING: NEW STEERING STABILIZER, CASTER SHIMS AND REALIGNMENT, NEW TRACK BAR AND DRAG LINK. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND I AM AWAITING ANOTHER STEERING STABILIZER AT THIS MOMENT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN ATTEMPTING TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW HOW. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED MANY TRUCKS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE STARTING IN 2017. FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO RECALL AND FIX THESE TRUCKS CORRECTLY FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. (ISSUE STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES AND STILL EXISTS AT 39,000 MILES)

AT 35000 MILES ON MY 2017 F350 I STARTED GETTING WOBBLE/VIBRATIONS AT HIGHWAY AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS. TALKED TO FORD DEALER AND SAID THE IS A TSB BUT PARTS WERE TWO WEEKS OUT. WENT BACK AND PARTS WERE 6 WEEKS OUT FOR A TOTAL OF 8 WEEKS. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. LAST TIME ON INTERSTATE I GOT WHAT I WOULD CALL DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD TO HIT BRAKES HARD TO CONTROL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WOBBLE DIDN'T STOP TILL I SLOWED FROM 75 TO UNDER 50MPH. TRUCK IS STOCK WITH STOCK TIRE RIMS. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL END CAUSES WRECK OR A DEATH

VIOLENT SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN GOING OVER BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS OR POT HOLES.

NHTSA ODI 11298938

TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER ON 11/29/19 FOR DEATH WOBBLES ABOVE 60MPH WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR SEAMS IN THE ROADWAY. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT MY STEERING SHOCK WAS BAD. PROBLEM IS THE STEERING SHOCK IS ON BACKORDER AND WAS ON A 6 TO 8 WEEK WAITING LIST. TRUCK IS GETTING WORSE, BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CALLED DEALERSHIP ON 01/07/20 TO CHECK IF THEY HAD HEARD IF THEY HAD ANY IDEAS IF THE SHOCK WAS GONNA BE DELIVERED ANYTIME SOON. WAS STATED THAT THEY HAD JUST PLACED AN ORDER FOR ANOTHER ONE AND THAT THERE WAS STILL A 6 TO 8 WEEK WAIT ON THE SHOCK. THEY STATED THEY HAD 12 ON BACK ORDER. I HAVE ORDERED AN AFTERMARKET ONE FOR NOW. HOPEFULLY IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM AND THIS WILL KEEP FROM DESTROYING MY FRONT END.

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE A WARNING WAS DISPLAYED THAT SAID "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED". POWER CYCLING THE VEHICLE 3 TIME AND EACH TIME PRESENTED WITH THE SAME WARNING AND CORRESPONDING DASH WARNING INDICATOR. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING RATIO WAS CLEARLY AFFECTED. THE DASH WARNING LIGHT STAYED LIT AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. A SUBSEQUENT RESTART OF THE VEHICLE AN HOUR LATER CAUSED THE SAME MESSAGE AND INDICATOR LIGHT. HOWEVER AFTER ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES OF DRIVING THE INDICATOR WENT OUT. THE WARNING AND INDICATOR HAVE NOT RETURNED AFTER SEVERAL STARTS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. STEERING SEEMS TO HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. CONTINUING TO MONITOR.

GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SHAKING STOPPED. AFTER CHECKING ALL TIRES, I STARTED GOING AGAIN AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS USED 3 MONTHS AGO, IT HAS 46,600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AS THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, I WILL BE OUT OF POCKET ON THIS.

JANUARY 2018 I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 FORD F-350. AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK AROUND 24000 MILES IT STARTED THIS HORRIBLE SHAKING AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL. RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS REFERRED TO AS DEATH WOBBLE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT 4 TIMES AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. IF YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES BACK AND FORTH AND IT REAL HARD TO CONTROL IT. YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AS FAST AS YOU CAN WITH OUT USING THE BRAKES IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE THE SHAKING GETS MORE VIOLENT. TYPE IN DEATH WOBBLE ON GOOGLE IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE AS COMMON AS THIS PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THESE TRUCKS. ROLLING DOWN THE FREEWAY GOING TO HOUSTON THANKSGIVING DAY IT STARTED TO THE WOBBLE 12 TIMES IN 50 MILE SPAN EACH TIME HAVING TO TRY TO STEER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND SLOW DOWN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND TRY TO NOT GET RUN OVER IN THE TRAFFIC.
