Ford Derath Wobble anyone had this?
Twice the F 150 has started the death wobble while being towed.
Each time was when pulling in a turn at an intersection. Both times was a turn to the left.
In rethinking events the road was severely irregular with pavement pot holes and humps which come from continued braking action on the pavement and no repair to surface.The truck started wobbling side to side and shaking the coach and the rear camera showed the truck going from one side to the other.
I was at a speed of 10 to 15 MPH as I was making a turn in the intersection to go to the left.
I slowed to no effect and had to come to a complete stop and restart to eliminate the wobble.
Glad I had a heavy duty Roadmaster Nighthawk tow system as this was a lot of pressure on the system transferring into the bus. -

Google is your friend. There is a ton of info about this on Google. Including a law suit. It should be covered by FORD.

Had the same thing happen once, turning left, low speed with a 2020 MKX Lincoln SUV. Stopped, took off and never did it again.

Me, too. 2017 Lincoln MKX, left turn, death wobble, stopped and it never happened again. I do have an unrelated issue with the torque converter needing to be replaced since it no longer locks up and throws codes for that. Seems like an odd failure on a car with only 70k miles that tows really well.
