| The death wobble occurred in my vehicle while traveling alone with no trailer and the bed was empty. this has occurred several times, the first while traveling northbound on the 5fwy in southern california. at the time the shaking was so violent that i thought that i had blown a tire and pulled over. i had just purchased the vehicle. the same issue is already under investigation: pe07057. | |||

| While driving my ford f-250 on the highway, i hit a minor bump in the road. the truck immediately started shaking out of control. i litterally had to stop in the middle of the highway before the shaking would stop. this is the 11th time that this has happened to me. it happens at a speed over 50 mph. luckily i have never wrecked the truck and have been able to maintain some sort of control. i have read ford's request to maintain adequate tire pressure. i read that after the first time it happened. it has happened an additional ten times. when is enough enough? does someone have to die before ford realizes that there is a problem? | |||

| My 2006 ford f250 4wd superduty pickup shakes violently whenever i hit the smallest pothole or drive over railroad tracks. it is a danger to myself, my children and anyone driving around me on the road. took the truck to my dealer and almost got thrown out after getting into an argument with both the mechanic and svc manager who said there was nothing wrong with the truck, they never heard of this problem and i need to buy new tires. tires are brand new with less than 20k on them. *tr | |||

| I have a 2006 ford f-250 super duty truck. when i hit a rough spot in the road the front end shakes so bad you have no control of the steering. the only way to get it to stop shaking is to get on the brakes and stop. i have been back to the dealer and they tell me there is nothing wrong. someone is going to get killed if this is not corrected. | |||
