Steering Tie Rod Assembly problems of the 2006 Ford F-250

I have a 2006 Ford f250 super duty 4x4 pick up w/ 61. 00 miles , that has a death wobble when driving over 45 mph. I have replaced both hubs and seals, shocks, steering damper, stabilizer bar links and inner & outer tie rods. Have had the tires balanced twice and a front end alignment. Does this fall under a recall? I have seen service bulletins on this. They seem to have replaced the same parts that I did. Is there a fix, as this is very dangerous? this death wobble happens every day, smooth or rough roads.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-250. While driving approximately 30 mph, a loud snapping sound was heard from the front end of the vehicle. The driver suddenly lost control of the steering. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front tie rods fractured due to rust and corrosion. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

2006 Ford F-250 experiences a severe vibration between 50 - 65 mph. Specifically noticed after hitting a pothole or driving on uneven roads. Truck is completely stock and has had shocks/ steering stabilizer / brakes / tires / alighnment / (replaced/completed) at a certified Ford dealer within the past 2 months. Additionally, I had every every ball joint, tie rod end, steering component inspected at my cost to investigate the issue. The steering vibration still exists. Forums and other sites have started to call this the "death wobble". Although it can be escaped by slowing down or accelerating through the vibration, it can easily cause loss of control to the unexpecting driver. I have driven Ford vehicles (trucks) for the past 20 years and this is the first time I have ventured to file an official complaint. Following the service bulletin to adjust tire pressure did not correct the problem. Brand new tires and alighnment offered a minor repreave only for me to experience the same issues less than 50 miles later. People who have experienced this issue need to get specific in order to prompt action from either the NHTSA or the Ford motor company. I did not experience this issue till approximately 60,000 miles, sometime after a brake change. The subsequent issues lead me to change the aforementioned equiptment in order to resolve the issue. To this point, the dealership can find nothing wrong but the issue remains. To reinterate, this truck is stock, no modifications have been made and required maitenance has been conducted by the dealer in every instanance.

The tie rod broke and I lost all steering. I arrived at an intersection where the street I was on is required to stop. I was turning to the left so as I was accelerating through the turn and the intersection all steering disappeared and I found myself in the ditch and front yard of a neighbor's house rolling over his gas main. This of course created adverse secondary effects, but what if the tie rod had broken while I was on the freeway, the results would have been much different. I was not hurt nor was anyone else, but a tie rod is designed to out last the life of a vehicle. There was obviously a flaw in this particular piece of equipment.

My F-250 super duty, has a severe front end shimmy at highway speed. My wife and I could have died in one instance,we had to move across two lanes to the shoulder as the truck bounced uncontrollably. I thought the tie rods were going to snap . This did not happen just once, but numerous times. Every time I approach a bridge deck, bump or pot hole I'm afraid the tuck may have a uncontrollable shimmy and losing control! you never know if the truck will have a slight,or severe shimmy,sometimes there is no shimmy at all. This is a problem that has to be rectified!!! just so you are made aware my tires are fine as is my speed.

I recently purchased a used 2006 F-250 super duty p/u. At speed above 55 mph if I hit a bump, the steering wheel will start to oscillated about 4" inches in either direction and will not stop until I slow down. At higher speeds, ie 65-70 mph the front end feels like it's going to fall off when this happens. I have tried using continuous wheel balancers. And was about to replace the tie rod and drag link ends until I looked this issue up and found out that it was a common problem (possible design issue). I have no desire to pay a $1000 on a repair that may not fix the issue. This truck has not been lifted.
