Unhappy 2011 f350 death wobble ?!!!!!

Took my 2011 F350 Diesel to the dealership yesterday. Had violent shaking when I hit a bump in the road while going about 80Kmh or 50mph. The only thing I could do is slow down to stop it. When I looked up this problem online I found out that it's called "DEATH WOBBLE". Now the good part, just spoke with the dealership 20min ago and they still can't tell me anything other than their talking with ford but the three things they can change to try and fix the problem are not covered under warranty (dampner,tracbar,steering box,). I have 65000km or 40000miles on my truck that is about a year and half old. I paid over $60,000.00 for this truck and also find out that this is not a new problem?! Watch the youtube video! (some other lucky guy with the same problem)


Not my first F350 but could be my last!

I had the same problem in my 04 dodge 1500. Come to find out, it had a small leak in the power steering line and was out of fluid. It made a little bit of noise but always did that because of the severe cold here in Alaska. I am pretty sure this is not your problem but, it may get you on a path. Good luck.

How can that not be covered under warranty or a recall. They got the name right - I could see a less experienced driver getting seriously hurt or worse!!! Good luck!
