I was driviing on the highway 65mph an the truck started the death wobble it was out of control. Things on the back seat landed on the floor due to the uncontrolable shaking of the truck. I had to slow down which I almost caused an accident. This is a scary an unsafe issue.. it has happened quite a bit an is going to cause someone to get seriously hurt or even die. Something has got to be done. Ford has got to recognize they have a big issue here an do something about it. I have to keep the speed down an even then its still an issue. I am scared to drive the truck its that bad in one instance I thought I was gonna die I couldnt get it to stop finally was able to get over to the breakdown lane an stop I was shaking an scared to death. I have not been to the dealership due to dueing my research an findin out it was the death wobble an there is no fix for it. Please there has got to be something you can do to help I would appreciate it. Thank-you
The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while at a stop sign the vehicle began to accelerat and the engine revved up. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage and the current mileage was 34,500.
Having owned the truck less than a month and driving in city traffic, the vehicle lost power and went to idle. This happens repeatedly. Seems to occur primarily in city driving - not highway driving. Have been to the dealership several times with no solution. They can find no codes. This is dangerous as I could be making a left turn in heavy traffic when it drops to idle and could be involved in a serious accident. We have now owned this truck for a year and it only has 6,800 miles on it due to the danger of driving in traffic. Most of these miles have been from repeated trips to the dealership to no avail.
The contact rented a 2011 Ford F350. The contact was driving in reverse approximately 5 mph when shifting into drive, there was a sudden acceleration. The vehicle failed to slow down. The brake was applied with excessive pressure and the tires began to spin uncontrollably. The brake pedal was engaged firmly numerous times. The contact shifted the gear into park and turned the engine off in order to stop the vehicle. When the rental vehicle was returned to the facility, the contact informed them of the unintended acceleration failure. The failure mileage was less than 600. The VIN was unavailable.
