On june 11, 2007 at approximately 11:00am i was unloading a piece of construction equipment off the back of my trailer.the trailer was connected to my 2007 ford f350 super duty dual rear wheel truck.the truck was in park the emergency brake was set and the keys were out of the ignition.as i descended off the trailer the tires of the truck began to roll while i was inside the cab of the excavator and on top of the trailer.the vehicle was parked on a flat surface.it rolled for approximately 195 feet as i was unable to stop it.the trailer began to jackknife and eventually the machine fell off the trailer with me still in the cab.the truck only stopped after it struck a small car that was parked at the bottom of a hill.the vehicle was towed to a ford dealership where ford sent an engineer to examine the transmission and front end of the vehicle.his conclusion was that he did not see anything wrong with the transmission but that the truck must not have been in park all the way.i contested these findings and have asked ford to continue to look into this matter.if in fact his findings about the truck not being in the park position are accurate how was i able to remove the key from the ignition.as i previously stated, at the time the truck began to move it was in park the emergency brake was set and the keys were in my pocket.it is my contention something malfunctioned in the transmission or there is a defect with the vehicle that will allow the keys to be removed from the ignition when the truck is not in a fully engaged park position.after the accident occurred i examined the road surface did not see any skid marks or notice any flattening out of the tires.if the vehicle was in park and the brake was truly engaged properly one would believe there should have been some skid marks left on the road surface as i traveled a total distance of 195 feet before hitting the parked car.

I was driving down the highway at around 65mph and went over a expansion joint on a bridge and the front end of the truck started shaking so bad that it ripped the steering wheel out of my hand. I had to come to a complete stop to make the shaking stop, i thought i had a front tire blow out,nearly hit the car in the lane next to me. I took it back to the dealer they put a new steering dampener on it and said try it, but it will probably not be any better, then the next fix is to put on a bigger steering wheel so i can hold on better when it happens.look on line this known as the "ford wheel of death"there is a bunch of videos on you tube about it and some actually show it happen.somebody needs to make ford pay for a proper fix before someone gets killed.
Extreme death wobble!!!
Upon making a sharp right turn and returning on course, the steering began to oscillate as if not being able to center itself, wobbling, flopping right, left. I stopped, turned wheels right and left under resistance. I was able to work out the wobbling and continued. There were similar occurrences later. At 1000 miles later, i pulled out from a stop sign on hard left turn, went to straighten out, and steering locked on return. I turned left then right to unlock it and it did unlock, but wobbled so bad i couldn't drive over 10 mph, until i stopped, turned motor off, started again, and worked out the resistance. I can usually feel when it will occur. Just bought the truck, can't afford repair just yet. Help!
When traveling around 60 mph and hit a small bump in the road there is a violent shake in the steering and almost have to come to a complete stop for it to stop. I have read numerous articles on line and this seems to be a recurring problem.
Around 50,000 thousand miles a bad vibration started when traveling around 60 mph and hit a bump in the road occurs around this speed constantly have to slow down and turn the wheel slowly have done research online and this has been called "the death wobble". Have done everything to try to correct the problem except carry to dealership to have it looked at trying to save up money.
My vehicle has what has been referred to as "death wobble" or oscilation of the steering wheel.at 30-50 miles an hour after hitting a a bump in the road the vehicle will shake violently, nearly throwing my vehicle from the roadway.ford has suggested tire pressure as the cause. I have checked the tire pressure numerous times and the recommended tire pressure does not help.there 1000's of ford super duty trucks on the road with this same issue. I have researched this issue and the issues need to be recalled by ford for a proper fix.

Front suspension let's the vehicle wobble if you hit a bump on the road. Only way to stop the wobble is to slow to unsafe speeds on the highway or stop completely.
