My new F350 with 6K miles on it starts to shake violently for no reason at all on speeds over 60 mph and the only way to correct the problem is to slow down to almost a stop. The steering wheel was shaking violently and so was the front of the truck.
On 10/19/2019 while my 2019 F-350 was in motion towing a 36-ft 5th wheel on a two-lane highway at 55 mph, I drove over a series of bumps in my lane that caused the front of the truck to shudder violently. I had to slow the truck to approx. 30 mph to get the shuddering to stop. I did not lose control of the 5th wheel. The steering wheel shuddered so violently I could barely keep my hands on it. All vehicle weights were well within the gvwr/gcwr of both the trailer and truck. Ironically enough I was on my way home from weighing the truck and trailer at a cat scale when this incident occurred. Four days later I took the truck to the dealer where they replaced the steering damper assembly in accordance with tsb 19-2274.
Traveling between 55-65 on the highway I hit a small bump in the road and the truck started shaking violently. Had to slow down to almost a complete stop to get it to stop. Very unsafe.
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.
