What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford f-250. While driving 40 MPH, the vehicle began to bounce up and down. At 70 MPH, the vehicle shook violently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 17,000. Update 01/05/2017
"death wobble" at approx 34k miles I experienced what I later found out was known as the death wobble. I drove over a section of highway that I had been over a thousand times but this time I hit a pot hole just right and my steering wheel began to violently shake in my hands. At the same time I was approaching a curve and literally had to stop to make the shaking go away. Fortunately nobody was following me on the highway and I was going the speed limit of 55MPH when this occurred.
