I started looking into this issue to see if others have had it. It's called, the "death wobble". the Ford dealership knows about it but doesn't have a fix for it. It has been taken in and no repairs are needed. How come it's still happening"!"! they need to have a fix for this issue. I don't want to crash because the truck is wobbling so much! I think with the amount we paid for the truck this shouldn't be a concern but it is!!
Before the V8 gasoline engine reaches some prescribed operating temperature ( before the engine is fully warmed up ), when headed downhill, no low gears function in any mode and the engine experiences sudden unintended acceleration. The truck was purchased new in 2018. The Ford company has repeatedly acknowledged the defects, and however claims that all 2018 gasoline powered F250S are designed that way to meet certain standards and therefore everything is fine despite being extremely dangerous in certain circumstances. Please contact me for further elaboration with names, dates, and places. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
