The contact owned a 2014 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving and pulling a trailer, the fuel line detached. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a truck stop. A mobile mechanic determined that the fuel line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving at 75 MPH, the fuel line busted again and was repaired again by the same mobile mechanic. While driving at 75 MPH, the driver noticed fire emerging from the floorboard.
Death wobble!! Violent shaking of front suspension. When traveling highway speeds 50- 65 hit very slight bump and starts slight wobble which then increases to uncontrollable violent shaking of front end. Only way to stop it is immediate hard braking to slow to 45 MPH or less. Very dangerous when in heavy traffic with heavy trucks behind and beside. I am shocked that nobody is dead! Most recent was yesterday northbound I-5 north of seattle. Happened so many times I lost count.
Few hours back driving my 2014 f350 super duty 6.7 turbo diesel 4x4 platinum msrp about $70,000 dangerously started wobbling after hitting a road bumb at about 48MPH. Very dangerous could've resulted in a serious accident. Luckily not much traffic.
