What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford f-350 sd. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle veered to the left drastically while the cruise control was activated. The contact lost control of the vehicle, crashed into some concrete, and then sped across the road in the opposite direction of two lane traffic on a four lane highway. The contact sustained minor bruising, but did not receive medical treatment. A police officer was present, but a police report was not filed.
Death wobble! The know problem ford has with their super duty truck but won't fix! I am a 56 year old woman and was driving on the expressway with my daughter when the death wobble happen. My steering wheels started shaking so hard I thought all 6 of my tires had blown. I had no control over my vehicle and than god there was no other cars near me. It is just getting worse now. I hit any little bumps on even the side road and the death wobble happens again. Called my ford deal and they say no know fix for it.
