We are trying to make it out of the mountains of Colorado and back home to Missouri. We have the most horrific shaking on our truck. I am scared to death. This "death wobble" is TERRIBLE! I want someone to know now in case we die! We have a horse trailer loaded down with 4 horses and 2 dogs. There should be a recall for this!!!!

08 Apr 2023 vehicle hit a pot hole and we almost went into ditch when it began to wobble uncontrollably. We were traveling on the hwy and almost caused an accident to the vehicles behind us. Very frightening. 16 Apr 2023, hit a small pot hole vehicle began to wobble uncontrollably, took us again almost into the ditch. It occurred four more times trying to get home from airport. We scared traveling in this vehicle now because of these incidents. We are filing an official complaint on Ford.
On two occasions the truck has gotten the shakes and it's hard to control on the road. Steering wheel vibrates bad too. Was going about 50 mph each time. Once down the highway in a construction area and the other time down a county road. I believe it has a 'death wobble'
1st incident-driving on the highway the truck started violently shaking after hitting a small rise going over an overpass. Extremely blessed that I was in an express lane (tolled) and no one was around me. 16ft trailer was hooked up and it took every bit of strength I had to keep the truck in the 2 lanes and not the wall. Thankful no other vehicles were around me. 2nd incident- again driving on the highway the next day; a very small bump in the road caused the violent shaking. I was not towing, but I did have vehicles around me this time that thankfully were paying attention as I was in and out of the fast and middle lane. The experience is indescribable and frightening.
