What owners wrote

This vehicle has severe front end wobble which mostly occurs between the speeds of 60 - 70 MPH. The steering wheel and entire vehicle begins to violently wobble so much that usually the vehicle has to be stopped on the side of the road to stop the wobble. The dealership suggested new tires which we replaced however the problem still exists. The is a common problem we have learned online with this model truck. We are very concerned that this problem may cause an accident.

Reported at 50,000 miles, December 2011

My ford f-250 starts shaking very very bad when I hit a small bump on the freeway. To get the very scary wobble to stop I need to slow down on the freeway between 20-30 miles per hour. This has happened over 50 times. I've had it happen 3 times within ten miles before. Slowing down to 20-30 on the freeway has been very dangerous. And I have almost been in a few accidents because of it. It is so bad and dangerous that I try not to ever have anyone ride in my truck with me. My family is scared to ride it it anyways.
