Automotive "Death Wobble" Litigation

This class action lawsuit alleges that certain models of Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks have a dangerous suspension defect that can cause a phenomenon known as the "death wobble." This defect can cause the front wheels to shake violently and uncontrollably after hitting a bump or groove in the road at highway speeds, making the vehicle extremely difficult to steer.

Plaintiffs claim that Ford has been aware of this issue for years but has failed to issue a proper recall or provide an effective, permanent fix. The lawsuit alleges that Ford's proposed solutions, such as installing a new steering damper, are merely temporary "band-aids" that do not address the underlying geometric flaw in the suspension. The suit seeks to compel Ford to offer a permanent repair and to compensate owners for the diminished value of their vehicles.
