What owners wrote
I had never heard of a death wobble until I was on my way to the hospital with my three children after being involved in a rollover accident. We were traveling north bound on the m53 van dyke expressway which has a posted speed of 70 MPH. I had just passed a vehicle that was in the right lane. Just after passing this vehicle I developed this death wobble, I was switching lanes back to the right lane when my steering wheel started to shake, not just a little shacking either.
I own a 2006 f-250 ford truck. While driving on the interstate the front end of the truck started violently shaking. I almost lost control and could have been killed. This happened yet again the very same day. I took my ford truck to the ford dealership in boone and was told there was nothing wrong with my truck. They claimed it was probably due to low air pressure in the tires.
