When you think about a death wobble, the Jeep Wrangler or a skateboarder probably comes to mind. However, death wobbles can impact cars, trucks, and SUVs due to weak or defective suspension systems. In fact, Ford Super Duty trucks are facing a death wobble lawsuit. 

Ford Super Duty trucks face a death wobble lawsuit 

After recently reporting on Ford Super Duty trucks about a roof strength lawsuit, these massive beasts are heading back to court. 

This time these big Ford trucks are facing a class action lawsuit related to alleged death wobble problems. Drivers have reported struggling with violent shaking and wobbling that occurs. 

The issues mostly happen at speeds of 50 mph or more. Reportedly, the problems are believed to be caused by defective suspension components. 

According to Ford Authority, the Ford Super Duty death wobble lawsuit includes Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks from model years 2005 – 2007 and 2017 – 2019. 

It includes owners of purchased or leased trucks for personal, family, or household purposes from an authorized Ford Dealership in the United States. The owners are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Texas. 

The lawsuit doesn’t include business or fleet vehicles and trucks that weren’t purchased from an authorized Ford dealership. 

Ford argues that the statute of limitations on some of these Super Duty trucks expired a long time ago. Plus, some of the plaintiffs rejected free repairs. 

Reportedly, none of the plaintiffs were furnished a free repair. Also, none of them experienced an unsuccessful repair and no breach of warranties occurred. 

Some owners of the related Ford Super Duty trucks have reported that free repairs corrected the death wobble problems. 

But the lawsuit states that Ford should repair, recall, and/or replace the Class vehicles. It should also extend the applicable warranties to a reasonable period of time or at a minimum, provide plaintiffs and Class Members with appropriate cursive notice regarding the existence and cause of the defect. 

Stay tuned to see how this plays out.
