45 problems related to suspension have been reported for the 2011 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Highway speeds driving on concrete truck hit bumps and started violently bucking and vibrating. This happened a dozen times in my 300 mile trip.
Traveling on a highway, turning slightly along a curved section of the roadway, upon encountering very small bumps, my truck began to shake violently, the steering wheel threatened to shake my hands loose from it, I had to hit the brake and try to quickly slow the truck down while attempting to pull off onto the emergency lane. This has happened 3-4 times since this original incident. I have had my tires rotated regularly and with proper pressure maintained. Seems to occur on curved section of highway that is also on an uphill grade at speeds over 45mph.
The truck violently started shaking after hitting several small bumps in road. Almost lost control of truck. In order for shaking to stop I had to slow truck down to 25 mph. I almost was rear ended by a truck following me. The shake feels like the front wheels are about to come off. This has happened almost a dozen times since the truck was bought new.
When driving at highway speeds hit bump in road the steering shakes really bad and to gain control had to slow down to almost stop speed.
I have owned this truck for 45 days / 2,000 miles. Numerous times I have experienced a suspension malfunction commonly known as a "deathwobble". As of late, it has become increasingly worse. Yesterday's incident required me to lower my speed to 10 mph on a major highway to regain control of my f350 super duty. I was nearly rearended by multiple vehicles including a tractor trailer. In addition I nearly collided with a jersey wall on a bridge. Taking the vehicle back to the dealer, but want to ensure that there is a record of the danger in this vehicle.
I have a 2011 Ford sd F-350 srw with 26505 miles. On several occasions, I have experience violent front end shimmy after hitting a bump in the road or an expansion joint on a bridge or on the freeway. The vehicle requires sudden braking to bring the vehicle back in control. The front end shakes violently to the point of taking the steering out of your hands. This is very dangerous. The last time it occurred I was on a bridge. The violent movement of the front end moved me into the adjacent lane, luckily, there was no vehicle in the lane. I could have caused an accident due to this problem.
Hit a slight bump in the road and the truck started to shake violently and the steering wheel had severe shaking. Had to slow down to 30mph before the truck quite shaking and allowed me to return to normal speed.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-350.

While driving in the left side passing lane and coming up to a slight left bend in the road the truck went over a expansion joint in the road, if there is slight pressure on the steering wheel from holding the truck into the left bend in the road the trucks wheels will start to shake and wobble, it will get so bad you need to hold the steering wheel with two hands and guide the truck to a complete stop in that left lane so to make it go away. This is real scary. I know there is items on the web sights that will fix this problem, but Ford will void your warranty if they find any aftermarket parts on the truck. What I don't understand is Ford knows there is a problem with this wobble and if you go and fix it they void your warranty.
