Ford “Death Wobble”: What You Need to Know 

Certain Ford models have been experiencing what is known as “Death Wobble,” these terrifying and high-risk defects have affected thousands of vehicle owners across the country. While McCune Law Group is no longer accepting new cases related to this issue, we remain committed to raising awareness about vehicle safety concerns. For over 30 years, we’ve successfully represented clients in cases against major automakers like Toyota and Hyundai as we advocate for strong consumer protections.

The affected Ford models currently include:

  • Model year 2005-2007 Ford F-250 4×4 trucks
  • Model year 2005-2007 Ford F-350 4×4 trucks
  • Model year 2017-2019 F-250 4×4 trucks
  • Model year 2017-2019 Ford F-350 4×4 trucks

The original suit alleged that Ford knowingly sold customers defective vehicles whose faulty construction made them susceptible to violent shaking and loss of driver control when they encountered grooves or bumps while travelling at freeway speeds. The suit also alleged that, despite long time knowledge of this condition, Ford routinely refused to repair defective vehicles free-of-cost, placing the burden of repair on the customer even when the issue was reported within the appropriate limited warranty period.

Related Cases and Legal Areas 

If you’ve experienced automotive defects of any kind, we recommended exploring the following practice areas:  

  • Product Liability: Defective vehicle components that pose a risk to consumer cases fall under the category of product liability.
  • Consumer Fraud Class Action: When manufacturers mislead consumers about vehicle safety, consumers may have grounds for a consumer fraud class action.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: If numerous consumers are affected by the same vehicle safety issue, they may form a class action to bring a joint suit against a negligent company.
