Two problems related to rear suspension have been reported for the 2005 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2005 Ford F-250 pickup truck has a violent front end shake when it hits even a normal small bump in the road traveling at safe highway speed. The truck now has only 20,000 miles on it, but it has done this since it was brand new. It is dealer maintained and the tires have been rotated and filled to correct pressure aprox. Every 5,000 miles. Ford says it is due to improper tire pressure. However, they are the ones who filled the tires to the correct pressure. I have complained about this very dangerous situation before and have been given lame excuses by both the NHTSA and Ford. Please let me say this again. This is not a shake in the front end. This is a very violent reaction when the truck hits a bump. The truck must almost be brought to a stop in order to stop the truck from shaking. When this happens on a highway it becomes very dangerous because the cars following must jam on their brakes in order to stop from rear ending the truck. The front end shakes so violently that it is hard to hold on to the steering wheel. Anyone driving alongside or behind the truck is in danger when this occurs. I know there has been other complaints of the same thing happening with the F-250. This is something that should not be ignored or taken lightly. Someone will eventually die or be seriously injured due to this defect. Please do something about this before it is to late. This is as dangerous as the sticking accelerator problem. I am a 58 year old man with a very safe driving record.
I have a Ford super duty truck that exhibits what has been named the death wobble as well as the 40-50 mph rear end bounce or shake. New tires, shocks, brakes, etc have not corrected this issue. I've read online where many others experience this same issue and many have been told by Ford that they have to live with this.
