   We were on vacation driving from [XXX] to [XXX] and experienced the Death Wobble. I though we were going to die.

   Death wobble - on numerous occasions we have experienced the death wobble on our vehicle. We have complained to several dealers and done their recommended repairs. We have even purchased new high end tires as recommended with no resolution. We are unable to haul our RV out of fear of an accident. It has occurred at high speeds on the highway and at lower speeds on roads. This is very scary when it occurs. Coming to a full stop in a one lane HOV lane is not only dangerous for…

   While driving on interstate highway I hit a bump and the front end began to wobble until I could brake and stop I took it to my front end shop and spent ~ $2K Next trip after repair had same problem when I hit a bump. After two more returns to the same shop and almost all parts replaced the truck did it again last week This continued wobble could be deadly and needs to be fixed. I plan to call ford but cannot believe this is not a recall issue

   I experienced what I now have come to understand is called the death wobble. It was terrifying and I was going about 60 mph on an interstate that was under construction. I hit minor bumps and the whole truck began to wobble back-and-forth violently. it would not stop until I came down to about 15 miles an hour, after that steering felt loose. I thought I was going to die. The incident chewed up my tires with pock marks everywhere.

    Today my 2015 Ford F250 SD experienced the aptly named Ford “Death Wobble”. It occurred twice today after just having the whole front end rebuilt for the same issue just weeks ago. My truck shakes so violently I am concerned for my safety and that of my wife. To stop the shaking I have to slow to 30 mph or less, typically on the highway where all other vehicles are traveling at 65+. The truck now sits at a dealership waiting for repair. The service writer states parts that…
