Death wobble!! was going home from work, and there are some bumps in the road and my truck steering wheel started to shake very badly. Had a hard time keeping my truck in control.

I would like to alert you to a very serious issue that is occurring on thousands of late model Ford f250 pickup trucks. The issue is being called the �death wobble.

Ford is very much aware of the problem, but refuses to issue a recall. Rather than accepting the problem as a design defect, they apparently are attempting to blame it on worn steering parts thereby treating it as a maintenance item, much like a requirement to change the oil every 5,000 miles. However, in reality this is not the case. My new vehicle was only a few months old with only 3,000 miles when I encountered a rough section of highway going around a corner and the steering wheel nearly cam free from my hands and started violently shaking making me feel almost certain I was going to lose control of the vehicle. When I let off the gas, the shaking started to subside and I regained control currently, the issue continues to appear whenever I encounter poor pavement conditions, in which I immediately slow down to minimize the �death wobble. � you can very easily validate my claim my doing a google search on �Ford f250 death wobble. � as I have just recently learned, countless others are experiencing the same problem as I've contacted several local Ford dealer service departments and learned they are very much aware of the problem. However, they claim the parts are on �back-order. � I also learned that the few vehicles that have been repaired are receiving a �steering damper� to solve the problem. This is not a solution, it only lessens the affect.
