I was traveling down the highway at approximately 60 mph and hit a bump. My vehicle began shaking violently. I had to abruptly decelerate down to 35 mph to get ot to stop shaking. I believe it's called a death wobble. I've had my vehicle in to the ford dealership twice to have it fixed to no avail. I had the whole front end rebuilt. $1500 down the drain. I had a 2012 f350 that did the same thing. This wobble has…

Heavy vibration and shacking of steering wheel this is not an isolated incident with our trucks, it's a nationwide problem that is very very dangerous. In a 10 mile ride it would happen 3-4x at 70 to 75mph hitting the slightest bump, the truck would violently shake. I would have to slow down to 20 mph for it to stop. Very difficult on a highway

It happened 9-28-19 3 times but has done this before. I have an appointment to have it fixed 12-19-19,…

While driving highway-speed about 65 mph, the truck hits a grove in the highway road and started to shake violently and uncontrollable. I slowed down while trying to keep the truck in one lane and it stopped the bucking/wobble action when the speed was reduced to 20 mph. This has happened twice in the past week and vehicle is scheduled to be looked at in the service center.

Tire valve stems are leaking repeatedly, new valve stems will start leaking sometimes the next day. While the dealer is replacing the stems under warranty (bumper to bumper) this is causing a dangerous condition. 25% of air can be lossed overnight. It seems like the manufacturer is trying to run out the warranty and leave consumers with the price of the stems afterward. In 15,000 miles, one of the wheels on the…

I had to pull over to the side of the road and stop to get it to stop shaking. This has happened a few times in the past but the shaking has not been as violent and has stopped when letting off the throttle (not this time). This seems to be getting worse. My truck…

The five previous occurrences resulted in warranty replacement of the tpms/valve stem unit. There is a sudden loss of 20 to 30 pounds of tire pressure, followed by loss of 20 pounds per day. This has occurred both while driving, and while parked.

At 21000 miles my 2017 ford f350 drw had two wheels with tpms sensors leak air at the stems. Both were aluminum rims. Both started leaking on the same day while stationary and under our shelter with no damage of foreign body coming in contact with stems or rims. Both stems were removed by a professional tire dealer and found that replacing gasket didn't solve this problem. There were no replacement stems available…
