I was travelling back home at about 65mph on the highway in my 2018 ford f250 crew cab and my left front wheel hit a small bump in the road. The whole truck started to shake violently and I couldn't hold the steering wheel as it was also shaking uncontrollably. I thought at first that I had had a puncture but the truck wasn't leaning as such. The wheels where simply shaking from side to side very fast. I hit the hazard lights and gently brakes down to about 30 mph, pulled over to the side of the ride gently to avoid the risk of flipping over and stopped. When I started up again, the wobbling had stopped. I later looked up the.probable cause and learned about the (infamous) death wobble which several people have experienced. It was truly scary as everything was shaking and I couldn't control the steering wheel. If it would have happened on a bend I would have gone straight over and flipped the truck as I wouldn't have been able to slow down in a straight line to stop the wobbling and shaking... This is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed as people will die...

Uncontrollable shaking wobble in steering known as death wobble.

I was on the freeway and doing about 70 and I hit some bumps in the road and my vehicle started to violently shake and I was unable to control my vehicle. I had to hit the breaks and slow down to regain control of my vehicle. This the second time this has happened. Vehicle was repaired about 2 years ago for the same thing. Ford repaired the damper steering linkage last time this incident happened. AKA DEATH WOBBLE.

Death Wobble. Was driving speed limit of 65mph and vehicle started a violent, uncontrollable shuddering and bouncing movement to the left almost hitting the dividing wall on the interstate. I had little control over steering of vehicle and was barely able to avoid slamming into wall. Finally got vehicle stopped. Has happened before at lower speed. Has happened several times before with less violent shuddering after hitting bumps in roadway. Now understand how very dangerous and scary the less severe incidents have been after this latest incident!

I hit a small bump at around 45mph and my truck began shaking violently. I was unable to control the truck and had to come to a complete stop. They call it the death wobble. It truely was frightening and I could have killed someone..

My truck has the Death Wobble . It has been worked on for the incident It happened again yesterday at least 4 times within 30 minutes We turned around and came are parked the truck. Am going to talk to the Dealer where I Purchase the vehicle and want some answers and to fix this major problem with my Ford Superduty 250 2017

The star shaking while driving in height speed or bump is called wobble.

Starting to exhibit signs of the death wobble at 46000 miles

Truck steering wheel bounces, vibrates, shakes violently after going over rough pavement at highway speeds. Truck has 35000 mikes and it has happened several times since it was new. Dealer replaced the steering damper which didn’t help. This could cause loss of control and an accident.

took my truck for a safety recall concerning a potentially deadly defect in my 2017 F-250 Ford truck. I had purchased this vehicle from Brandon Ford new in 2017. The safety recall was to address "The Death Wobble" which causes the vehicle steering to shake violently causing the whole vehicle to lose control. I sent my truck to Brandon Ford 2 time prior stating the same problem. In 2021 they told me it was the tires, so I purchased 4 new ones. Still had the same problem occur. They told me this last time they fixed the problem. No true, my son and I whom is 11 had a day planned to goto the aquarium. On the highway the "Death Wobble" occurred again. This caused me to lose control of the vehicale stopping short of hitting the gaurd rail. My son was terrified and so was I. I drove right to Brandon Ford on a Saturday and.demanded they fix the not fixed recall "Death Wobble" item. After several days received a phone call stating I needed new tires and they where dry rotted and in horrible shape. I told them I just purchased through them 2 years prior. The proveded no answer and new I caught them in a lie. They then proceeded to look into the car problem more. I received a phone call 5 days later only to be told I was needed to pay for the complete rebuild of the steering and front end. The rods where bent from the voilent shaking due to the Death Wobble. They told me to fix the problem it was going to be over $4000. I was shocked and was told if I want the safety recall of the Death Wobble to be fixed thats what its going to cost. I felt held hostage, I filed a BBB complaint only for the dealership to take no responsibility. The problem Is not fixed since I have spent over $4000 for the repair. The steering still clicks every time I drive over bumps in the road. Took it to another repair shop and they laughed at the repairs and what I was charged. Only the tie rod was replaced by Brandon Ford, the cost of this part is only $300 dollars. The new repair shop told me it

Loss of steering control, violent sustained steering oscillation at 60 mile per hour. Twice on the same day on the freeway entrance ramp from Phoenix Oregon to Medford Oregon. June 9th. Mileage on vehicle 26,432 Once on June 16th between on the south bound entrance ramp from Medford Oregon.

Front end wobbles, shakes and shimmies at speeds over 50mph.

On April 26,2023 we were traveling home from Florida in our F250 towing our RV. Suddenly,( after we hit a rough patch of road) our truck started violently shaking. It was HORRIBLE. My husband was driving and I was the passenger. It lasted about 20 seconds during which it took all his strength to hold the steering wheel so we would not die in a horrible crash. THIS IS NO EXAGGERATION. When it stopped I burst into tears and told him"I thought we were gonna die !" He responded, " I dont know how we didnt!" We were both very shook up realizing, what we just experienced is what someone sees right before they die in a fatal car crash. We had this happen in a much, less slighter degree last spring. So we are aware of "The FORD truck death wobble " Our Ford Dealership did replace the steering damper last August. I hope no one has to experience what we did that day ever again ! The next day we continued home cautiously. Again it happened as we entered Michigan. A just a few seconds. But PTSD kicked in from the last event and had us white knuckling. This truck has under 50,000 miles on it. We had it diagnosed and were told it would be $1500 to repair it. ARE YOU KIDDING ? What we experienced should NEVER,EVER happen in a car. Especially with under 50,000 miles on it !!! Our safety and others was put at risk as it started to wobble us into the next lane. THANK GOD, no one was there. FORD should be responsible for this repair ! NOT US ! We almost came home in Body Bags .....

Driving at speeds over 60 mph I have experienced a wobble in the steering. It is at the point that I am unable to control the vehicle. I am forced to slow down considerably to regain control of the vehicle

Steering, front wheels and suspension violently shakes and becomes almost uncontrollable hitting a bump or pot hole at over fifty to seventy miles an hour. Commonly known as the ford death wobbl

My 2017 Ford f250 has what my mechanic described as the death wobble. The front end shakes uncontrollably after I hit any kind of a small bump in the road and I'm afraid I'm going to lose control. This has happened several times.

Uncontrolled shaking of the steering system. Required me to stop on a busy interstate highway. Shaking occurred after driving over a rough patch of highway. Symptoms exactly as described online as Super Duty death wobble

We were merging into traffic on the freeway, going approx 50 when the front-end went into a death wobble. We were forced to slow way down and pull away from traffic. This was extremely stressful and dangerous. From what we have found online, this is a known safety issue with our year superduty truck that FORD is not properly addressing. We do not feel we should have to be paying to fix the parts of the front-end not covered by their small steering damper fix. Our truck has less than 22000 miles on it, should not need new front bearings etc. Feel we are spending money on a vehicle that should have been recalled, this could have killed us or others.

While driving on Interstate steering oscillated left and right very fast. Vehicle was hard to control. Came to a stop on the shoulder of the road to stop the shaking. This is what some call death wobble. Truck had steering dampener replaced for this problem a few years ago. It only has 26,500 miles total.

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle may encounter a bump in the road that causes the front-end of the vehicle to jump one direction or another and/or shake violently. This causes the steering wheel to shake back and forth violently, requiring two hands and a fair amount of force to control the vehicle. The vehicle will not stop shaking until speed is reduced below 50 mph. The most recent issue was during a 100+ mile interstate trip with speed limit travel (70 mph). The truck experienced this issue on 4 seperate occasions during this trip; twice in moderate traffic where other vehicles around me were at risk of collision due to my vehicle swerving and my sudden braking to maintain control. There are no warning lamps and no other indication when the truck is going to experience the issue. It has repeated regularly at various speeds over 55 mph and under a variety of conditions Local Ford dealer is aware of the issue and offered to replace a steering damper and examined the front suspension for loose or worn parts. Dealer made me aware this was a common problem that Ford is aware of but the only resolution is replacement of the steering damper. Dealer indicated all font suspension components are still in good condition. The part is on backorder and estimated to be a month or more before they can get it. It is my understanding this is not warranty work and I should expect to pay for the labor to install it. My truck only has 25,000 miles and the suspension, wheels, tires, brakes, etc. are all original stock from the manufacturer, there are no after-market parts. The vehicle is available for inspection and no parts have been replaced to date. This vehicle is driven daily and remains a safety concern at highway speeds over 55 mph.

On 6 January 2023, while increasing speed to 55 mph my steering wheel began to vibrate to the point where it was almost uncontrollable and the front end was shaking badly. Vehicle has been in the shop for repair since 12 January 2023 at Henderson Ford dealership in Bay Saint Louis, MS. My safety and others near me on the road was at risk until I could slow the vehicle back down to 45 mph. No symptoms or warnings occurred beforehand. Vehicle was inspected and found to have issues with Drag Link, Stud Right Outer Tie Rod, Adjust Sleeve, and Track Bar. Parts were ordered and repair is ongoing and was supposed to be completed yesterday, 20 January 2023. Vehicle is still in the shop.

I hit a small bump or go across rumble bars in the road my vehicle wobbles violently until I can slow down or stop

Known problem to later model Ford F250 Sper Duty pickup trucks (2015 to 2019??) experiencing a violent steering wheel oscillation after hitting a minor bump in pavement or a pot hole. aka "death wobble" at highway speeds. This has occurred three times thus far on this truck. This seems to occur at approximately 55 to 65 MPH. The shaking is so bad that the driver could easily loose control. The vehicle problem has been reported before to the Ford dealer and the suggested repair is to "replace the steering damper" if it occurs again. This situation occurs with no advanced warning other than a minor wheel shaking which becomes increasingly violent to the point, in the last instance, the truck had to be stopped in order to clear the problem. As indicated, this truck has been inspected for this problem once already and is scheduled for another inspection this coming Wednesday Jan. 4th, 2023.

On three separate occasions over a two-day period, while driving at highway speed, the steering wheel and front of the truck went into an extremely violent shaking episode nearly causing complete loss of control in heavy traffic. The shaking was only stopped by braking sharply to reduce the speed putting other drivers at risk of a colliding into the rear of the truck. The vehicle has been parked until it can be inspected. After researching the problem, this is a well-documented problem with the make/model of vehicle that has earned the term "death wobble", yet no recall has been issued and no warning from the manufacturer.

The "death wobble" occurred for the second time on December 6th, while traveling on interstate 10 W, about 12 miles west of Pensacola, FL. I had just passed over a bridge connection when the violent shaking of the front end started. I had previously had this issue in 2018 on Highway 45 south, about 15 miles south of Meridian, MS, and returned the vehicle to the dealer and it was supposedly repaired while still under warranty. At present the mileage is not quite 24,000. Fortunately I do not do a lot of highway travel as this appears to be a current unaddressed problem with the Ford F250 Superduty and the F350. This is a very unsafe condition. I feel fortunate that I was able to get the vehicle under control and stopped.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Steering Dampner failed causing other issued in steering and front-end suspension failures. You can inspect anytime you want. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Repetitive failure on these components put me and family at risk and other drivers to the loss of control Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes problem has been reoccurring from 16k mile to present just under 100K miles. Truck has been in the shop multiple times for the same repetitive failure. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, ford has inspected it, independent shops have inspected it, the BBB has inspected it. Ford has told me on more than one occasion to go after market. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, on symptoms; loose steering and uneven wear patterns on the tires, then complete failure of multiple components.

I have a terrible wobble. At 36,000 miles I had this “fixed” under warranty. I now have 54,000 miles and it is terrible and getting dangerous. I know this is an ongoing issue with f250’s and terribly frustrating to have it “fixed”, but not really.

The death wobble makes controlling vehicle very hard

While driving down parkway on 10/22/2022 at about 1530 hours at about 74 miles per hour the steering wheel started severely shaking uncontrollably after hitting a bump in the road. I immediately started slowing down and finally came to a complete stop. If someone had been in the other lane I’m sure we would have wrecked. It has been reported to the dealer. The dealer was already aware of this same problem with other Ford F-250s. He referred to it as the “Death Wobble”.

front end violently shakes and the entire truck shakes

Returning home from the Denver airport on E470 with my wife and 2 young children (3 and 7) on 09 Oct 22. We were traveling westbound and reached the on-ramp to I-25 S and I slowed to 55mph. It is a long sweeping on-ramp and after driving over a bridge expansion joint the truck began to shake violently. The steering wheel shook violently, tires felt like they were bouncing and oscillating back and forth. I began to slow the truck as we were bouncing to the right towards the right shoulder of the road uncontrollably. I was able to avoid sliding off of the right lane of the ramp and regained some control once we slowed down to 20mph. I pulled to the side to regain my (and my family’s) composure and check the truck for damage. Front track bar and bushings felt wobbly and loose but still attached. We were 5 miles from home so we drove slowly the rest of the way without incident. I am calling my dealership today to see what can be done as the truck seems unsafe to be driven. A quick google search and it seems this is a very common problem with these trucks. Thankfully I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop without a major accident/incident but had it happened anywhere else and who knows what could have happened.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to write a letter but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

Mileage: 77,000

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at speeds above 50 MPH, the vehicle started to shake violently and vibrated abnormally after driving over a slight bump in the roadway. The contact stated that the failure started after the tires were rotated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced all four tires but eventually the failure reoccurred. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Mileage: 40,000

In August of 2022, I took my 2017 F-250 King Ranch to the Ford dealer to get it looked at/inspected for previous death wobble occurrences. The dealer replaced, under warranty, pretty much all of the steering items that may affect the wobble. October 4th, 2022; I was traveling during fall break with my wife and three kids on the highway at approximately 60-65 mph while pulling our 34' 5th wheel over a rough patch on Interstate 20 in Texas. The truck started shaking uncontrollably from the front end and after slowing below 50 mph, the shaking stopped. This same issue occurred 5 more times over the course of our camping trip. The truck has 43,000 miles on it, and we mostly use it to pull our 5th wheel. I had warned my wife about this but not the kids since they are younger; When the first instance happened, all three of my children started freaking out and thought we were going to crash and/or die because it was shaking so violently. It was unnerving as a father because we are supposed to keep our family safe, and my kids count on me to do this! The rest of the vacation they were constantly worried that it was going to happen again and put us in further danger or others on the road in great danger. I will be contacting my local Ford dealer again to look into this problem. It is sad that someone will have to die from this before something is done?!?!?

At roughly 50mph while on a left hand curve over slightly uneven pavement the front end of the truck started shuddering and bouncing with loss of control in the steering such that only after significant braking could I regain control of the truck and realized I was in the next lane over to the right. Vehicle was brought to Ford dealer and they replaced a stabilizer bar that had a "dead spot" in it. While the problem is slightly better, it is by no means resolved. Waiting for a call back from the service manager of the dealership after being told today that the repair they had done was all that Ford was willing to do. Vehicle is still under warranty. Purchased 2017 vehicle in march of 2021 with 17,500 miles on it. It now (September, 2022) has 25,000 miles on it.

I hit a bump in the road and the steering wheel started shaking uncontrollably, to the point I had to stop. When I looked under the vehicle I saw the steering dampener broke off

Truck is in the shop for sixth time for death wobble. Front end vibrating at speeds over 60mph. Something you have to bring the truck to a stop on highway to stop shaking.

Ford Death Wobble. The vehicle violently shakes when it hits a bump in the road and only stops if you slow the vehicle or stop completely. You nearly lose control of the wheel. A steering damper was placed on the vehicle as advised by Ford and the problem has not resolved. It has only continued to get worse. The vehicle has had regular maintenance per the Ford warranty plan purchased with the vehicle. Ford should have a recall on all vehicles reported with this problem.

Death wobble when driving more than 50 MPH when crossing a seam or expansion joint on the roadway, less than 18,000 miles on the truck, used like a car, not a work truck. Became worse over time, becoming violent shaking with the slightest bump. My wife was afraid to drive the truck. Had to slow to less than 45 mph whenever approaching a bridge, etc. The Ford dealership took two years to come up with available part to make the repair. Less than 45,000 miles and feels like it is starting again.

Death wobble

If you hit a bump in the road or rough road you can not control the truck almost put you into a wall.

DEATH WOBBLE

Sometimes the truck will start violently shaking when reaching speeds over 50 mph. Vehicle becomes impossible to control and the only way to eliminate the shaking is to slow down or stop the vehicle.

This Vehicle has been to the dealer 3 times for the Ford wobble where the vehicle shacks violently after hitting un-level pavement. 4/23/2019 - Replaced the Linkage Damper 4/8/2021 - Replaced the linkage Damper 4/9/2021 - Took it back because I still felt shacky when hitting bumps in the road. Mike Bass stated there is nothing wrong with the truck. 4/28/2022 - Damper is bad again, took it to the dealer and they are changing the Damper again. Clearly there is some underline issues causing the linkage to get tore up on this Truck or it is a design issue. In either case it is an unsafe vehicle.

This is a DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE - On Feb 23rd 2022 I was coming back from SoFi stadium with my wife and two young children and was in the diamond lane doing approximately 65mph. There was a rough patch in the road and my steering began to shake violently and I nearly lost control of the vehicle. The shaking caused me to move out of my lane into the lane on the right and I nearly collided with another vehicle. I continued to move over to the right lanes and as I got into the #1 lane and my speed had dropped the wobbling stopped and the truck was stable again. I thought that I had a blow out but when I checked the tire pressure on the console, the tires were fine. We were not in a very good area of Los Angeles so chose to continue to drive at about 50mph and finally got home. The next day I drove the truck over to my FORD dealer and that's when I learned of this DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE. FORD should have issued a recall for this... my dealer is telling me that they want to replace the front end tie-rods, etc... for a $2300.00 repair that FORD will not cover. I thought the truck was going to flip at one point and could have nearly killed someone or my family.

If the vehicle encounters any roadway surface imperfections at speeds over 40mph, it results in Extreme steering oscillation, or 'wobble'. This 'wobble' renders the vehicle virtually uncontrollable. The driver cannot regain full control until the vehicle slows below 5mph. This issue places the occupants of the vehicle, along with any other vehicles close by, in extreme danger. The problem can be easily reproduced by simply driving it. There are no warnings of any type. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time. A simple and quick search on the internet has confirmed that literally thousands of other F-250 & F-350 truck owners are having, or have experienced, this same problem, referred to as the 'Death Wobble'. Ford is aware of the problem and acknowledges the severity of the problem yet, will not make the necessary repairs free of charge.

Death wobble

Death wobble. Vehicle is very dangerous to drive at speeds above 60 MPH on highway specially when going over a uneven area. I have taken my vehicle to a Ford dealership in the past and it was ok for a few months and now it is worst.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving over a bump in the road at an undisclosed speed, the front suspension was shaking violently. The vehicle experienced the death wobble. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

Mileage: 35,000

Have experienced a violent shaking ("death wobble") on multiple occasions while driving at highway speeds. When this occurs, the steering wheel and entire vehicle wobbles/shakes and the only way to stop it is to quickly reduce speed. This has almost led to multiple accidents while driving at highway speeds.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, he hit a bump on the highway and experienced and the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated that the vehicle began to violently shake until the vehicle came to a near-complete stop. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

Experienced so called "death wobble". Truck started shaking violently and I could not control it. If a car had been coming toward me I would have hit it head on. No warnings prior to failure.

While driving at highway speeds the steering and front end abruptly began vibrating violently.

At a high rate of speed the steering wheel suddenly began to shudder and shake back and forth causing the whole truck to shake violently and become uncontrollable until speed was reduced. My life and the lives of everyone near me were in jeopardy until I regained control of the vehicle. I could not steer the vehicle. The problem has occurred with others employees of our company. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired by the dealership but the problem persists. There were no warnings before the failure. It came on abruptly and my only recourse was to aggressively apply the breaks to minimize the what seemed like an eminent catastrophic outcome. This event scared the hell out of me and my passenger.

Better known as the "Death Wobble." My 2017 Ford F250 truck severely wobbles after hitting a road bump when traveling 50mph. This has happened four times, including today, Sun 2/20/2022. This has not resulted in any crash or injury as of yet. After slowing down and resuming operation the wobble goes away. I have had the truck since Oct 2020.

Experiencing violent shaking in steering when at speed, seems to be at 55mph and higher, that could cause loss of control of vehicle. Seems to be brought about from hitting bumps in road which activates violent shaking. Only remedy is to slow down immediately which could be impossible in some traffic situations. After research, found out this is a known problem in my year of truck, 2017 F250 Super Duty. There are no lamps or otherwise warnings that the problem is about to occur. I have not brought the vehicle in to be fixed at this time but plan on doing so shortly. This is my only vehicle and the problem seems to be getting worse since first experience.

It is known as the Death Wobble. Truck starts vibrating uncontrollably without any warning. Pulling a trailer when this happens causes a dangerous situation. Unless you have experienced it, no words can describe the violent nature of this suspension breakdown. There is no telling what other damage these episodes cause. Ford is not willing to fix this design flaw.

The death wobble returned for the 3 time after getting it repaired at the fire dealer 2 other time. Make a appointment to have it look at again. They can’t get me in for two weeks to look and not sure how long to repair. Unsafe to drive

Experiencing severe shaking in the steering wheel intermittently. this has happened several days in the past week, it occurs at different speeds usually around 30 to 50 mph. It seems to only last a few seconds, but it feels like the vehicle could loose control in the event of needing to make a quick response to something.

I experienced the “Death Wobble” for my first time today! Very scary! I had just reached 65 MPH and suddenly my 2017 F250 starting shaking violently. I had little to no control of steering. Fortunately, I had heard of it before from family and friends who also experienced it. I let off the accelerator and it ended as if nothing was wrong! My vehicle has slightly over 38K miles. There was no warning or messages. I am not aware of any road issues. I have talked with my Ford service department and they are ordered a damper kit. My vehicle is available for inspection.

I was traveling on the highway at approximately 65-70 mph when it drove over unlevel pavement and the truck started shaking uncontrollably from the front end. After slowing and pulling off to the side to check my wheels and tires I proceeded at a slower rate of speed with no further incident so far. I use this truck for towing my horse trailer. I don't know what would have happened if I was towing when that happened. I am afraid to use my truck again in fear that next time this might cause an accident that will put me, my passengers, horses and others on the road in great danger. I will be contacting my local Ford dealer today to look into this problem.

Our Ford F-250 lariat has been doing the death wobble more and more we can barley drive the car anywhere without it doing it and we have almost wrecked driving it ! We spent a lot of money on this truck and haven’t had it long for it to start doing this!

Front wheels shake violently causing driver to have to brake hard and slow vehicle to regain control. Problem happens when vehicle is traveling at a speed of 50-60 mph and hits a rough spot on highway. Problem happens frequently and on several occasions has caused vehicle behind me to brake hard to avoid a rear end collision. The truck is not safe to drive.

The front end experiences significant head shake and "death wobble" at speeds greater than 50mph. An alignment, balance, and tire rotation did not fix it

While travelling on an interstate highway going approximately 65 mph, the steering wheel and front end began to violently shake after going over the seam that separates the pavement from a bridge. The shaking only stopped after I slowed down considerably. The shaking was bad enough that I felt I did not have full control of the vehicle. The weather was sunny and 40 degrees and the pavement was dry. There were no warning lights either before, during, or after the incident. The vehicle has about 50k miles on it and has never been in an accident.

Without any warning after hitting a small bump on a newly paved highway I had extreme violent shaking in the front suspension after hitting small bump on hwy going approx 60mph, truck shook violently, steering almost unresponsive, had to emergency slow to 25mph in very heavy accident almost rear ended in last incident.. This has happened 2x in the past 6 months 12/21/2021, 8/22/2021. Truck has 12,700 miles on it. I am planning on taking into the Ford dealership after January 1st in 2022 for evaluation.I believe people are calling this a death wobble.

Right after we bought the truck after 35000 miles in 2017 it started to have the *death wobble* . After bringing it to the shop several times, they finally replaced during extended warranty at ~72000 miles steering damper, ball joints and some parts. This prevented the death wobble for about 30000 miles...and then after that it progressively worsens now. After contacting the dealership who did the replacements...we were told that the warranty on it expired.. This should be a recall from Ford

Two days in a row while driving 80 miles an hour on I-15, I drove over a rough spot in the road and the truck (steering wheel) immediately began wobbling violently and did not stop until I slowed down to about 20 miles per hour. Vehicles behind me had to switch lanes to over my truck. I took the truck to the local Ford dealer and reported the issue. They said this has been an avoid me as I quickly slowed down to maintain control issue on this model and told me what repairs were needed to fix the problem. I paid over $1000 out of my own pocket for the repair which I believe should have been covered by the manufacturer.

I have experienced a "death wobble " 3 times in this truck. The last being today. I have my truck in Cruz doing between 70/80 . When I hit an expansion joint on a bridge It feels like violent shaking in the front axle to the point of losing control. It has been happening at the same spot all 3 times and I can probably cause it to happen at will. In that spot of the interstate. It only stops if you slow down immediately! Very dangerous when in traffic!

Violent death wobble on highway. It is so bad other cars on highway slam on brakes to get away from our truck. We are experiencing some loss of control when it happens. Truck has been repaired once in the past for this and now it has started happening again. Took it to dealership that did original repairs and they claimed was not able to replicate. It then happened again for us and we have an appt at a second dealership to inspect. There are no warning lights when it happens just violent shaking after crossing a small transition bump on highway 285 in Atlanta

The Death Wobble description online is exactly what we are experiencing.

If I hit a bump or grooved part of the road the front of the truck starts shaking violently. I have to slow way down or come to a near complete stop. This has terrifying while on the interstate towing my 5th wheel or 24 foot enclosed car trailer. I have taken it to the dealer for a "recall repair" the only thing the dealership did was replace the steering damper. This is a mask for a severe issue! As soon as I left the dealership the problem reared its ugly head again. I called them immediately and scheduled to take it back in on 12 Nov 21. During the conversation with the service department the employee told me they would replace the steering damper again. I am waiting till the appointment to see. This had been an ongoing issue since I purchased the vehicle used in Feb or Mar of 2020.

11/6/21 driving 65 mph on interstate. After hitting a bump in the road the truck experienced a severe shaking in the steering to the point that the truck wasn't maneuverable. I had to slow down to 45 mph for it to go away. It happened again about 20 minutes later and I had to go off the interstate to drop the speed below 55 mph. Supposedly this is a known problem but has never been recalled.

The death wobble is back. The Ford dealership where I purchased it conducted an inspection 11/1/21. They identified front-end issues not covered under the previous death wobble fix. I’ve owned three previous trucks with no violent shaking issues while driving. This should be fix by Ford!

I have experienced the "Death Wobble" experienced by many during my internet research into the violent shaking and oscillation of the front wheels at speeds in excess of 50 MPH. The condition occurs routinely on approach and departure from bridges where the concrete slabs have subsided causing a "pothole" effect, on pavement patches, and potholes. The violent oscillation and shaking can cause temporary loss of control. I had to slow down to a dangerously low speed in congested interstate traffic for the conditon to subside.

When driving down the interstate the truck started shaking vigorously where we had to pull over 6 times to get the truck to stop shaking. It looked like the tires were bouncing of the road. Very scary.

This is in regards to the Ford "death wobble" that occurs at under normal driving conditions where the vehicle rattles to violently it is not able to be controlled or operated safely. This has happened numerous times and with greater frequency. Ford will only replace the steering dampener, which they have, and it did not fix the problem. If anything it made it worse. Ford also does not consider this a warranty issue, and will not even address it as compensated work. This is likely because Ford knows that this is a major design flaw and it is cheaper to stiff customers than pay to make it right.

While driving 60mph or faster and drive over a little bump or a highway over pass, bridge with expansion things, the steering wheel and front tires shake , wobble uncontrollably . You have to hold on for dear life and slow down and pullover. Well that's not that easy on the interstate. It happened last night on the interstate and scared the living daylite out of me. Now I'm afraid to drive the truck over mph55. Ford supposedly fixed the front end when it had 15,000. miles. I'm calling the ford dealer monday.

At least 10 occupancies of the death wobble since Fall 2020. Had it addresses by dealership in Feb 2021 by having the stabilizer replaced at no charge under program 20n04. The fix lasted approximately 6 months. Taking the truck back in on Tuesday, 10/5/21 to be reassessed.

Violent oscillation/shaking of the steering wheel components after going through an uneaven transition or pot hole on the road at around 60 miles per hour or more. After researching people call it"death wobble" This problem start after 20k miles after buying the truck brand new from the dealership, it's been going on. Last time it happened was yesterday September/08/2021 on highway 10W Baytown ,Texas. Almost get rear ended by an eighteen wheeler wen trying to slow down .

Twice, when accelerating into the freeway a violent shaking, “death rattle” of the steering wheel back and forth left and right. I pulled off to side of freeway . Started back up and the problem seemed to have resolved.

We’ve been experiencing the Ford know “Deathwobble” since approximately 30,000 miles and we currently have 48,000. Ford has replaced the steering stabilizer at least two times and it reoccurs within 4,000 miles. I’ve spent countless hours online trying to remedy this problem. I recently replaced the drag link and the associated tie rod end (The OEM ones had minimal play but I wanted to rule out any possibilities), changed to a Bilstein steering stabilizer and 4 new Bilstein shocks. Unfortunately, on are recent 150 mile trip we had two terrifying Death Wobble experiences that we came very close both times having an accident. Today we were actually forced to go into highway median to avoid being pulled into other high speed traffic. I’m including pictures of the tire marks of this incident. This problem is very dangerous and frightening to have happen. Please help!

Death Wobble on numerous occasions. I first took it to Ford and put some "dampener" on it to fix it. I noticed that the truck still vibrated, but did not go into the death wobble immediately.4-5 months later, a worse death wobble started. It always happens when you hit a bridge abutment paving transition. The violent shaking does not stop until you slow way down. I have had to leave the road twice due to 18 wheelers behind me. It is so bad now, vehicles around me can see the violent shaking and move over and get away from me. This is an extremely dangerous event. If a younger driver freaks out and lets go of the steering wheel, deaths will be inevitable.

The front end and steering wheel shake out of control when going over 50 MPH. I have to stop the truck to stop the shaking.

I have randomly experienced violent shaking of the steering wheel while driving, and have come close to striking vehicles in other lanes twice when this has happened. After discussing incident with co-workers that also own F250's they have experienced same issue which is also known as "Death Wobble". Apparently this is a common defect with Ford trucks and there has not been any recall done on this issue. My Truck has less than 45k miles on it, and I am concerned for my safety and my family's safety while driving this vehicle.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON DRY NON WINDY EVENING AT 75MPH THE FRONT END STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKING "DEATH WOBBLE" THE SHAKING WAS TRANSFERED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY SIDE TO SIDE. I WAS IN FEAR I WAS GOING TO CRASH OR THE TRUCK SHAKE APART. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER VISUALIZING THE FRONT END AND TIRES I COULD FIND NO LOOSE OR BROKEN EQUIPMENT. ALL TIRE PRESSURE WAS WITHIN 2 LBS OF EACH OTHER. VEHICLE IS A 2017 FORD F250 XLT DIESEL WITH 85K MILES. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AND DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE ROADS HOME. I HAVE HAD NO RECENT WORK DONE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME. I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED AND REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE REPAIRS HAVEN'T COMPLETELY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION ISSUES OVER BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STILL CAUSE IT TO FEEL LIKE THERE MAY BE A LOSS OF CONTROL.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, I BEGAN TO MAKE THE CURVE IN THE ROAD. AHEAD OF ME WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AS MY FRONT WHEELS HIT THE BUMP, MY TRUCK SHARPLY TURNED PUSHING ME INTO THE OTHER LANE AND BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. SHAKING WAS SO BAD I COULD BARELY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND AROUND 25MPH THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED AND THE TRUCK SEEMED TO RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTION.

MILEAGE 21098. DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 65 MPH, ROAD GOT BUMPY, I THOUGHT THE PICKUP WAS GOING TO SHAKE IT SELF APART. LUCKY NO OTHER VEHICLES WAS AROUND ME. I MANAGED TO GET IT STOPPED AND PULLED OVER, IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, I COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 45 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID "YES WE ARE VERY FAMILLAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY PERFORMED RECALL 20N04 AND REPLACED STEERING DAMPER. I STILL GET LOT OF SHAKING AND LOT OF CONTROL, ESPECIALLY ON GRAVEL ROADS WITH WASHBOARDS.

WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF THE VEHICLE DRIVES OVER A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN ROAD, THE FRONT END SUSPENSION (INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS) BEGIN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. IT HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE PROBLEM ONLY CORRECTS ITSELF ONCE THE TRUCK IS GROSSLY SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT BRAKING. BRAKING MAKES THE ISSUE WORSE AS IT IS HAPPENING. I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. FORD HAS BEEN OF NO HELP IN THIS ISSUE. WAITING FOR A RECALL.

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT PEOPLE REFER TO AS 'THE DEATH WOBBLE'. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER 2020. ALL 4 INSTANCES WERE THE SAME.... GOING AROUND MAYBE 48MPH ON A CITY STREET WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENT/SMALL HOLES THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I MEAN, THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL VICIOUSLY SHAKE AND GIVE THE DRIVER NO CONTROL UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. WHEN IT SHAKES YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND JUST TRY YOUR BEST TO STAY IN YOUR LANE. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND SCARY! THERE ARE TONS OF VIDEOS OF OTHER FORDS ONLINE DOING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IN MY TRUCK. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH 2017+ FORD F-250 AND F-350'S BUT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. SOMETHING WITH THESE YEAR MODELS SUSPENSION IS NOT CORRECT. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM IS GOING TO REPLACE THE DAMPENERS, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM EVERYONE WITH THIS ISSUE, IT IS A TEMPORARY FIX AND THE WOBBLE RETURNS AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THERE IS A FORD INSTALLED 6IN LIFT AND 37IN TIRES ON THE TRUCK(HAD THIS WHEN I PURCHASED) BUT FROM INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THAT.

I'VE HAD MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY FOR BAD VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65-70MPH AFTER HITTING AN IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. DEALER FIRST REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER IN MAY/2020. THE VIBRATION CONTINUED, BUT WASN'T AS BAD AS PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED. THEN LAST WEEK THE VIBRATION WORSENED. I THEN EXPERIENCED WHAT WAS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIT AN IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL WITH A VIOLENT VIBRATION IN STEERING AND ENTIRE BODY. ALMOST HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI TRACTOR AS I WAS TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL. WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY, 4/21/2021, AND THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BALL JOINT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW, AND NOW ONLY 38K MILES. I LOVE FORD TRUCKS, AS THIS IS MY SECOND F250 I'VE OWNED. THE FIRST ONE WAS A 2003, WHICH I ALSO BOUGHT NEW. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THESE FRONT END PARTS WEARING OUT PREMATURELY. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS YESTERDAY AS MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, WHICH I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS DUE TO IT'S PREVIOUS REPAIR FOR VIBRATION ISSUES WHEN ROLLING OVER IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD. I AM NOW WONDERING IF I SHOULD GET RID OF THIS TRUCK AFTER READING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. YOU COULD VISUALLY SEE AND FEEL THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKING. IT GOT WORSE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING OVER MINOR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ROAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO GET THE RECALL FIXED, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE WOBBLE. I ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED AN EVEN WORSE WOBBLE 1 WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR. THE WOBBLE IS STILL A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE WOBBLE WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE AS IT WAS MILD AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING ON THE ROAD THAT CAUSED ME TO GET A FLAT TIRE WHEN IN FACT THE TIRE WAS FINE AND THAT WAS THE ACTUAL WOBBLE. EVERYTHING WAS SHAKING AND I HAD TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE TRUCK. EACH OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY.

WHILE TRAVELING ALONG AN INTERSTATE AT 75-80 MPH, AS THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OVER A PAVED BRIDGE JOINT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO SHATTER APART. I HAD NO STEERING ABILITY AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO NEARLY COME TO A SLOW ROLL, ON THE INTERSTATE, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO RETURN BACK TO NORMALCY. THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDED ENOUGH FOR ME TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SAME EVENT, ON A DIFFERENT ROADWAY, OCCURRED AGAIN WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE FIRST EVENT.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BUT I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS COMMON ON THESE TRUCKS AND IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I HAVE JUST OVER 51,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. IT IS COMPLETELY STOCK LIKE IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. IT THEN DID THIS WOBBLE TWO MORE TIMES ON LESS THAN 2 MILES. I AM REALLY GLAD NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME TOO CLOSE AS I HAD TO,BRAKE VERY QUICKLY.

BASICALLY THE TRUCK AT ANYTHING OVER 65 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR HITS ANY TYPE OF BUMP IT VIOLENTLY SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. IT IS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND I HAVE NOW PARK THE TRUCK I AM DRIVING ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEEL UNSAFE THAT I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD, IT'S THAT VIOLENT. THE THREE TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED HAS BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERY TIME IT'S HAPPENED IT'S ALWAYS AFTER HITTING A RUT OR SOME ROUGH ROAD SURFACE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL OR FIX TO 100% SATISFACTION CUSTOMERS CONCERNS. AGAIN THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND BEING AROUND OTHER PEOPLE OR OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL LEAD TO A CATASTROPHE ON THE ROAD LIVES WILL BE LOST.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND PULLING A TRAILER OUT OF NOWHERE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. I QUICKLY SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO REDUCE SPEED TO ABOUT 40MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP SHAKING. LUCKILY, I WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A TURN OR SLOPE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THE TRUCK. EACH TIME FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED SAME PART FOR A STEERING DAMPER DOES NOT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING MY INCIDENTS I FOUND SIMILAR STORIES REFERRING TO THIS AS THE DEATH WOBBLE.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I WENT OVER A SMALL CRACK IN THE ROAD. IMMEDIATELY THE FRONT END STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND I LOST ALL STEERING CONTROL. THE ONLY CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WITH THREE TRUCK ACTING IN THE SAME MANNER AS BEFORE; LOSING ALL STEERING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY, SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSING ALL STEERING CONTROL.

AT 55-65 MPH, IF I HIT ANY KIND OF A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY BRING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 30 MPH TO GET THE SHAKING UNDER CONTROL. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS, AND THEY HAVE NO CERTAIN FIX, THEY PLAN ON JUST REPLACING PARTS ONE THING AT A TIME AT MY EXPENSE.

WHEN I OPERATE MY 2017 FORD F250 AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH AND ENCOUNTER A POT HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGINS A TERRIBLE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND RATTLES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A STEERING DAMPER AS PART OF A FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT NOW CLAIM THE PROBLEM WILL PERSIST BECAUSE I HAVE WORN BALL JOINTS AND A DRAG LINK THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST ME OVER $1,100 AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY FORD ALTHOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW AND A RESULT OF THE FAILED DAMPER. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD IS WILLING TO IGNORE SUCH AN ISSUE. MY FAMILY WON'T RIDE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE TRUCK AS IT IS TOO FRIGHTENING FOR THEM. THE SAD PART IS THE TRUCK HAS 25,000 MILES AND COST ME $50,000 AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT OR DEPEND ON IT NOW.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON OR ABOUT FEB. 24, 2018 ON I-80 BETWEEN SALT LAKE CITY AND ELKO, NV. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 7,500 MILES ON IT.

THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START OSCILLATING WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (APPROXIMATELY 65-75). THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START VIBRATING AND WILL TURN INTO WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE OSCILLATING IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 20-30 MPH. THE OSCILLATING HAPPENED WHEN HITTING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST UNEVEN PATCH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AS WELL AS LOCAL HIGHWAYS. SOME OF THESE ROADS HAVE VERY RECENTLY BEEN RECONDITIONED.

I SEARCHED NHTSA FOR A SAFETY RECALL ON THE STEERING FOR FORD SUPERDUTY PICKUPS BUT FOUND NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF THIS IS NOT A RECALL WORTHY SAFETY ISSUE THEN I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS TRUCK TO SAFELY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE WELL AND IT HAS ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT.

ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE FRONT END WOBBLE UPON HITTING ROUGH PAVEMENT ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 70-75 MPH. THE WOBBLE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-6 SECONDS AND CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY GRADUALLY REDUCING SPEED. STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONAL DURING THE WOBBLE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES (OCTOBER 2019) THE VEHICLE WAS TOWING A TRAILER. THE LAST TWO TIMES (DECEMBER 2020) THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAB AND A FEW PIECES OF LUGGAGE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. IN MAY 2020 FORD INSTALLED A STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THAT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND FOLLOWING THE DECEMBER 2020 INCIDENTS, SUBSTANTIAL FRONT-END REPAIRS WERE REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36K MILES ON IT.

UPON ENCOUNTERING A BUMPY SURFACE ON SOUTHBOUND I-25 NEAR CO. SPRINGS AT APPROX. 70 MPH, THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL I HAD IT ALMOST STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. I HAVE SINCE BEEN DRIVING IT MORE SLOWLY WITH REPEATED PROMISES BY FORD THAT THEY WILL FIX IT "ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARTS"

Mileage: 53,500

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT 75 MILES AND I HIT A BUMP AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AND I HAD TO HOLD ON TO KEEP IT FROM GOING TO THE OTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY, I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF MY TRUCK AND IT ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE IN SUCH AN EXPENSIVE TRUCK.

Mileage: 24,000

SEVERE CASES OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING OVER 50 AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO 10-20 MPH. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 3 WRECKS NOW ON THE INTERSTATE FROM THIS ISSUE. FORD TOLD ME THE STEERING STABILIZER BAR IS OR BACKORDER UNTIL MID JANUARY. I HAVE A 60K TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE AND NOT POSITIVE THE STEERING DAMPNER WILL EVEN FIX THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 45,000

Mileage: 42,000

I JUST RESEARCHED THE VIOLENT SHAKE OF MY FRONT END THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH AND DROVE OVER A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE. I IMMEDIATELY STOMPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AS FAST AS I COULD. I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 20 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKE STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME SINCE THE TRUCK WENT RIGHT OF CENTER. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME SINCE I SLOWED DOWN SO QUICKLY LIKE YOU WERE GIVING SOMEONE A BRAKE CHECK BEHIND YOU. I HAVE OWNED THIS 2017 F250 LESS THAN A MONTH. IF I KNEW ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOW SERIOUSLY CONCERNED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND NOW I CAN NOT ALLOW MY 17 YR OLD SON DRIVE IT IF NEEDED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE OVER 1,200 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 6TH FORD TRUCK BUT FIRST F250 AND MY LAST. I WILL MOST LIKELY GO TO GMC OR DODGE FOR A 2500 SERIES TRUCK. I TRAVEL FOR WORK AND THIS PROBLEM REALLY WORRIES ME TO DRIVE AT 70/75 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS IT IS A GOOD CHANCE LOSS OF CONTROL WILL HAPPEN IF THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS. THESE TRUCKS COST A LOT OF MONEY AND NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO DRIVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE. IF I COULD JOIN THE JOINT LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD I WOULD. MAYBE ANOTHER GROUP OF F250 & F350 OWNERS CAN START A CLASS ACTION SUIT AS WELL AGAINST FORD. IT WILL BE A VERY SAD DAY WHEN WE ALL FIND OUT A DEATH HAS OCCURRED AND COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED WITH A RECALL. IF YOU GOOGLE DEATH WOBBLE YOU WILL NOT PURCHASE A F250 OR F350. I REALLY HOPE FORD TAKES CARE OF THIS SINCE I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THE TRUCK.

I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS BUT IT STOPPED. ON 4TH DECEMBER WHILE TAKING MY 2 KIDS TO THE ROLLER SKATING RINK, MY FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY AGAIN, THIS TIME I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, LIKE THE FIRST TIME I WAS TRAVELING..I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH.

DRIVING TRUCK STARTED SHAKING LOST STEERING RAN IN DITCH TIRE ROD BROKE FRONT END MESSED UP

RUNNING AT 70 MPH. HIT A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE VEHICLE STARTED A FRONT END OSCILLATION THAT WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT. I HAD TO RAPIDLY REDUCE SPEED AND STRUGGLED WITH DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. AT 30 MPH THE OSCILLATING QUIT. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND TRAFFIC HAD TO BRAKE HEAVILY AND SWERVE AROUND ME TO AVOID COLLISION. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY. FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES, BUT PARTS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE BACK ORDERED AND THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE TO GET THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE JUST HIT 25K MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 25,000

MY VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY GOING SPEEDS BETWEEN 55MPH AND 80MPH. THESE VIOLENT WOBBLES CAUSE ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND THE WOBBLE DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL I REACHED SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-30MPH. THE WOBBLE JERKS YOUR STEERING WHEEL AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND IN SOME CASES THE WOBBLE THROWS THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE AND YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU REACH THE SLOWER SPEEDS. THE WOBBLE STARTED AFTER EITHER 1. RIDING OVER A NORMAL BUMP OR SLIGHTLY UN LEVEL AREA OF A HIGHWAY 2. HITTING SMALL (LESS THAN 12" DIAMETER) POTHOLES ON THE HIGHWAY, 3. GOING OVER TRAIN TRACKS ON 2 LANE ROADS.

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES AND OUT OF NO WERE IT STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS SOON AS A BUMP OR BRIDGE CONECTION WAS HIT THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE WOULD INCREASE TO A POINT WERE YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO BE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. DUE TO THIS I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING THE CENTER BARRIER ON A FREEWAY AFTER NEARLY LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETLY. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A SMALL VIBRATION AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER ON THE WARRANTY AND OUT OF MY POCKET THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND IT HELPED BUT WAS STILL GETTING A VIBRATION AND NO MORE THAN A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALMOST TOOK ME OUT OF THE ROAD. IM NOT AURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT IT HAS TO GET CORRECTED.

DEVELOPED SEVERE FRONT END STEERING WOBBLE (DEATH WOBBLE) AT APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES, AUGUST, 2020. HAS OCCURRED SEVEN TIMES SINCE INTO THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 70 TO 75 MPH, ON HIGHWAYS AFTER HITTING UNEVEN ROAD OR POTHOLES. SEVERAL TIMES THE INCIDENTS WERE SEVERE WITH EMERGENCY BRAKING IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, WITH NEAR CRASH, OR ACCIDENT. I HAVE REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER, AND TRACK BAR WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A FORD DEALER, SINCE THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS COMMON OCCURRENCE, AND DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX TO THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 17,000

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 70-75 MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE COMMUTE. FROM A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND FROM FORUM BOARDS THEY ARE ALL ASKING WHY THIS HASN'T BECOME A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE YET? THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO STOP SHAKING IS COME DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THAT'S NOT EASY OR SAFE ON A HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN A LEFT LANE. I'D LIKE EVERY HOT SHOT OR BIG WIG HIGH UP IN THE FORD INDUSTRY TO GIVE THAT A TRY AND THEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE OR SHOULDN'T BE A SAFETY RECALL. GO FOR IT, BUSY COMMUTE, FAST LANE, HIT A BUMP, VIOLENTLY SHAKING, THEN COMING SAFELY TO A STOP. NOT JUST UNSAFE FOR MYSELF, BUT EVERY OTHER PERSON WITHIN THE VICINITY OF MY TRUCK. LASTLY, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED THIS YEAR WITH ONLY 36K MILES AND NOW ONLY HAS 48K WHICH IS HARDLY ENOUGH MILES FOR ANY MAJOR WEAR AND TEAR. CONTINUING ON THAT, I WAS TEST DRIVING ANOTHER NEWER F250 (2019) AND DURING THE TEST DRIVE IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. FROM WHAT I'M GATHERING ONLINE, THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED AND I FEAR WILL ONLY BE TAKING SERIOUSLY WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED. WHY? BECAUSE I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO COST FORD A TON OF MONEY. $40K USED TRUCK FOR ME A TON OF MONEY. BUT DEATH? WELL, I GUESS THAT'S A RISK FORD IS WILLING TO TAKE TO SAVE FACE . THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AS ITS BEING CALLED. THE END.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHACKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK. I HAD THIS ISSUE PRESENT ITSELF OVER 6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN SEPT. 2016. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. FIRST AND SECOND INSTANCE WERE IN LATE 2017WITH LESS APPROXIMATELY 18K MILES. ALL INSTANCES HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH OR HIGHER. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN CONTINUES TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND THE ENTIRE CAB IS SHAKING. LOSE OF STEERING CONTROL. ONLY STOPPED AFTER FORCIBLY SLOWING DOWN TRUCK TO BELOW 25 MILE PER HOUR CAUSING POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR BARRIERS. HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SECOND INSTANCE AND THEY SAY FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IN MAY OF 2020, THE DEALER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR WAS AN ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED STEERING DAMPER UNDER WARRANTY BUT AFTER 4 MONTHS THE ISSUE CAME BACK MORE VIOLENTLY THAN BEFORE. ON OCT. 28TH, 2020, IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITHIN A 40 MILE DISTANCE. THIS TIME THE TRUCK SHOULD SO VIOLENTLY I HAD TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE TO MAKE IT STOP SHACKING. ROAD WERE WET AND AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE TRUCK ANYMORE WHILE THIS ISSUE PRESENT. I HAVE RE-CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND MENTIONED THE ISSUE AND SERVICE THEY PERFORMED BACK IN MAY, THEY DID NOT RETURN CALL FOR ASSISTANCE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 69 AT 70MPH WHEN I HIT AN OVERPASS BRIDGE. THE ROUGH PAVEMENT CAUSE MY TRUCK TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE TIRES AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO AN 18 WHEELER FUEL TRUCK. THE SHAKING DIDN'T GO AWAY UNTIL MY SPEED DROPPED TO 50MPH. SERIOUS DEFECT THAT FORD IS NOT FINDING THE CORRECT FIX FOR. FORD HAS REPLACED THE DAMPER TWICE AND THE TRACK BAR. THE SHAKE CAME BACK 3 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST TRACK BAR REPLACEMENT. THE CORRECT FIX , I BELIEVE, IS A CASTER ADJUSTMENT AT 3+ DEGREES. BUT FORD WILL NOT TRY THE FIX. IT WILL COST ME TO DO THAT AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AT THE END OF MAY AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT

I HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY TRUCK 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS.. THIS IS A VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATIONS.

THIS HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP MORE THAN 15 TIMES TRYING TO REPAIR WITH NO FIX, LAST TIME SPENT MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AT THE DEALER FOR THEM TO NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND FIXED AS I AM 1 OF MANY PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE! THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH, HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE 4 OF THE 6 TIMES AND 2 TIMES WAS ON THE HIGHWAY..

IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I GOT NOTIFICATION OF A POSSIBLE STEERING LINKAGE AND SUSPENSION ISSUE. I DROVE IT AFTERWARDS AND IT SEEMED BETTER. WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING IF NOT WORSE. IT IS CURRENTLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT HAS NOT COST ME ANYTHING, YET. IT HAPPENS ON BOTH HIGHWAY, CITY AND BACK ROADS.

IT HAS HAPPENED UPON NUMEROUS OCCASION WITH MY THREE-YEAR-OLD VEHICLE, AND HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. FORD HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER COMPONENT, WHICH HAS BEEN DONE BY A NON-FORD REPAIR SHOP IN MY INSTANCE. THIS HAS DONE NOTHING TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST THE DEATH WOBBLE.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW, HAD THE FIRST STEERING OSCILLATING EXPERIENCE OR DEATH WOBBLE AT AROUND 10000 MILES. HAPPENED ON AND OFF, TOOK IT IN FOR WARRANTY AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES, BUT REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER. I PRETTY MUNCHED STOPPED DRIVING OVER 63 MPH UNLESS I KNEW EVERY BUMP ON THE ROAD BY HEART. FINALLY GOT IT IN AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AT AROUND 17000 MILES DUE TO THE CONTINUED DEATH WOBBLE THAT WOULD HAPPEN OVER CERTAIN BUMPS AT SPEEDS OVER 65. THEY FOUND A BAD LOWER TIE ROD END. AFTER REPLACING THE TIE ROD END IT SEEMED TO DRIVE A LITTLE BETTER, FINALLY WENT 70MPH AGAIN, BUT NOT FOR LONG. AT ABOUT 22,000 MILES IT STARTED AGAIN, MY WIFE WAS WITH ME AND EXPERIENCED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE CRIED... HAS NOT SET FOOT IN IT SINCE. IT NOW HAS 23000 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN IT OR DRIVE IT. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY 3 KIDS TO RIDE IN IT EITHER. IF IT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG TIME IT COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE. I'M A VERY MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON, AND EXPERIENCED DRIVER. IT TRULY SCARES ME WHEN IT HAPPENS. BETWEEN THE DEATH WOBBLE, AND FORD URGING DEALERSHIPS TO HUSH HUSH THE SEVERITY, I WONT BE BUYING ANOTHER NEW FORD ANYTIME SOON. AND I PURCHASED 3 NEW TRUCKS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS, AND HAVE EASILY OWNED 15 OR MORE. THIS IS JUST MY COMPLAINT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS POTENTIALLY A DEADLY DESIGN FLAW. NOT TO MENTION IT SHAKES BAD WHILE TOWING. AND IT'S NOT THE TRAILER, I PULLED 3 DIFFERENT ONES. AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT JUST HOW THEY TOW WHEN I BROUGHT THE TSB, PART NUMBERS ETC. FOR THEM TO REPAIR IT. AND JUST IGNORE IT. I HAVE ZERO COMPLAINTS ON ANY OF THE OTHER FORD VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED, BUT THIS 2017 F250 HAS MADE ME RETHINK MY NEXT NEW VEHICLE PURCHASE.

SEVERE SHAKING OF FRONT END AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP WHILE DRIVING IN A 5 LANE CITY STREET AT APROX 60 MPH THAT PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. FORD CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ESTABLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 19-2274 SEE ATTACHED). THE INCIDENT REQUIRED ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE STEERING FROM SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY PULLING OVER. THE STEERING DAMPER ON THE VEHICLE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD F250 THAT HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. AT HIGHWAY SPEED IF YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END/SUSPENSION WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO SLOW WAY DOWN AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP SHAKING. FORD ADDED A STEERING DAMPER AND I HAD TO PURCHASE TIRES TO SUPPOSEDLY CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. FORD DEALER ALSO STATED I NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL ALIGNMENT TO FURTHER CORRECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT IMMEDIATELY. IF THE TRUCK NEEDS AN ALIGNMENT TO DIFFERENT SPECIFICATIONS, FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND DO THE ALIGNMENT.

THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THE LAST TIME THEY REPLACED A STEERING STABILIZER, IT HAS DONE IT SINCE THAT PART HAS BEEN REPLACED. IF A DRIVER WHERE TO PANIC WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING, THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY.

DEALER ATTEMPTED REPAIR AND PROBLEM REOCCURRED AT ALMOST 36000 MILES.; DEALER AGAIN ATTEMPTED REPAIR AND PROBLEM RETURNED AT 38000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65-75 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WILL OSCILLATE BADLY, "DEATH WOBBLE" TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO ABOUT 30 MPH SO YOU CAN REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK....WHICH I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALER ON 2/10/2020. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 22,500 MILES ON IT. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS TO HAVE IT CORRECTED?? I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY ISSUE ON THE INTERNET.

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 70 MPH WE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY (OSCILLATE). THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP WAS TO SUDDENLY REDUCE SPEED AND MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. WE EXPERIENCED THIS 5 MORE TIMES, SOMETIMES OCCURRING AFTER JUST GOING OVER A ROAD JOINT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS YOU MUST HAVE ENOUGH SHOULDER TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD AND VEHICLES BEHIND YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE SUDDENLY STOPPING. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME. THE TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER (WHICH SHOULD NOT GO BAD AT 20,000 MILES). THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THIS REPAIR WILL WORK OTHER THAN TO TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS AND DRIVE THE TRUCK WAITING FOR THE NEXT INCIDENT TO OCCUR.

AT 71 MPH WHILE THE TRUCK WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I WENT OVER A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE LIKE IT WAS COMING APART. THE TRUCK'S BACK END STARTED TO COME AROUND ON ME LIKE IT WAS SKIDDING AND WENT BACK AND FORTH A COUPLE TIMES. THE ROAD WAS COMPLETELY STRAIGHT AND DRY SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY REASON THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED EITHER. CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF ME WENT TO THE SHOULDER AND DITCH TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY INSTANTLY KNEW WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING AND CALL IT THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. THE TRUCK HAS 15,500 MILES ON IT WITH ORIGINAL TIRES, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER REASON TO DO THIS. VERY SCARY AND I WON'T LET THE FAMILY IN IT NOW. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN AS THEY HAVE TRUCKS COME BACK OVER AND OVER TRYING TO FIX IT BUT THERE ISN'T A LEGITIMATE FIX FROM FORD.

'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN DRIVING MY FORD F-250 BETWEEN 60-75 MPH, WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR SMALL UNEVENNESS ON THE ROAD THE PICK UP BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE! THE PICKUP BARELY HAS 38,000 AND THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE CAN BE LIFE THREATENING TO SELF AND OTHERS. FORD HAS NO INFORMATION REGARDING A SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR BUT IT DID NOT ELIMINATE THE VIOLENT SHAKE AT THE FORE MENTIONED SPEEDS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE REGARDING THE PROBLEM (I AM NOT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC) BUT A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WAS VERIFIED BY MORE THAN 5 CERTIFIED MECHANICS WAS THE DEGREE OF CASTER IN THE AXLE. AN ISSUE FROM WHAT THEY BELIEVE ORIGINATED AT THE MANUFACTURER. I CANNOT UNDERSTATE THE SAFETY CONCERN THAT I HAVE DRIVING MY F250 THAT I LIMIT THE DRIVING I DO IN THIS VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING WHEN FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH A RECALL. MY HOPE IS THAT THE NHTSA CAN INTERVENE AND PREVENT SOMEONE FROM BECOMING FATALLY INJURED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS THE STEERING PROBLEM GOT WORSE. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH AND CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS AND SAID THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNLESS I GET A RECALL NOTICE> DEATH WOBBLE IS SERIOUS. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THERE PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP. SHAKES LIKE HECK AND ALMOST WRECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. 2017 F250 SUPER DUTY CREW CAB

THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS DEVELOP A VIOLENT VIBRATION AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR A POTHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS PHENOMENON IS MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. I HAVE FOUND THAT SLOWING TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VIBRATION AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. IT IS UNSAFE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND YOU. IT IS UNSAFE TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING ESPECIALLY WHEN OTHER TRAFFIC IS ALL ROUND YOU.

THIS OCCURS WITH VEHICLE EMPTY OR UNDER TOW (LOADED). THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 40 MPH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PHENOMENON ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MOST HAVE REPORTED FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT HAS ALSO BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE FORUM THAT FORD USED TO COVER THE REPAIR, BUT IS NO LONGER COVERING UNDER WARRANTY. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 20000 MILES ON IT, I ONLY USE IT FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING AND TOWING A CAMPER UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND INFLATED PROPERLY.

THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME ON HIGHWAY 612 IN LUCEDALE, MS WHEN I TRAVELED FROM A PAVED ROAD TO A CONCRETE BRIDGE OVER THE ESCATAPA RIVER.

OVER THE PAST 5 MONTHS (IT IS NOW 1/30/2020) THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, TYPICALLY HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 50-80 MPH. ALTHOUGH, IT HAS HAPPENED AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 40-45. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO APPARENT PROVOCATION, I.E., HITTING A POTHOLE, TURNING, HITTING THE BRAKES, ETC. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE IT STOP. I'VE TRIED HITTING THE BRAKES, SLAMMING THE BRAKES, CONTINUING TO HOLD MY SPEED STEADY, ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY, AND PRAYING TO GOD TO MAKE IT STOP. NOTHING WORKS, IT JUST EVENTUALLY STOPS BUT NOT BEFORE TRAFFIC CLEARS ALL AROUND ME. IT IS NOTICEABLE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE SEEN DRIVERS HIT THE BRAKES AND FALL BACK IN TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STEADY OR IN MY LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES THE VEHICLE BOUNCE ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STEADY OR STRAIGHT. IT IS TERRIFYING AND UNNERVING. I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAUL TRAILERS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT ALMOST DAILY. MANY TIMES I AM ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON CITY STREETS. IF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, THE DAMAGE WILL BE COSTLY AND MAY KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF. I AM AFRAID TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THESE UNEXPECTED, VIOLENT SHAKES HAPPEN WHILE I AM HAULING HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70+ MPH, THE VEHICLE HIT A HIGHWAY TRANSITION BUMP. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS ONE DIRECTION AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO OSCILLATE LEFT AND RIGHT. THE ENTIRE CABIN OF THE TRUCK SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGINS TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY. THIS OSCILLATION/SHUDDERING CONTINUES UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE THREE DISTINCT TIMES DURING TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS COLLOQUIALLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE INTERNET. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF FORD SUPER DUTIES. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO STATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. DEALER ATTEMPTED A REMEDY BY REPLACING A DRAG LINK. STEERING IS STILL "WOBBLY" TO THIS DAY.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT COUNTRY ROAD AT, OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE 55MPH SPEED LIMIT, THE FRONT TIRES OF MY 2017 FORD F250 4X4 TRUCK SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY "AKA DEATH WOBBLE". THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS SHAKING WAS WITH HARD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. THE MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK AT THE TIME WAS SLIGHTLY OVER 11,000 MILES. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE, AND OFTEN TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON FREEWAYS, AND AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60- 75 MPH). SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE NOTICED THE SHAKING FOLLOWS WHEN ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES IS JOLTED BY A BUMP- SUCH AS A TRANSITION BETWEEN CONCRETE AND ASPHALT, OR OTHER UNEVEN ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS STARTS THE FRONT SUSPENSION IN A BACK AND FORTH BOUNCING MOTION AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AGAIN REQUIRING SUDDEN BRAKING OF THE TRUCK IN ORDER TO STOP THE WOBBLING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT(S) OCCURRED THIS PAST WEEKEND WHILE TOWING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. THE MILEAGE PASSED 15,000 MILES DURING THIS TRIP. AGAIN, THE WOBBLE WAS ONLY STOPPED BY AGGRESSIVE BRAKING. THIS OCCURRED TWICE ON THIS TRIP. FIRST ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THE SECOND TIME ON A SECONDARY HIGHWAY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT- IF FOLLOWING VEHICLES WERE TO ABLE TO AVOID MY TRAILER.

EXTREME VIBRATION SHAKING THRU THE STEERING WHEEL AT 50 MILES PER HOUR ON SMOOTH ROAD. VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THESE EFFECTS ON A SMOOTH ROAD WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE HAS 10700 MILES AND IS EXCELLENT CONDITION. WAS VERY SCARY AS I HAD TO APPLY AGGRESSIVE BRAKING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE , FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN OFF THE ROAD AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING , LIKE A WHEEL WAS COMING OFF. VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, AS THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATION . AFTER THIS EVENT RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND AS AN OWNER I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW , IT IS FAULTY AND UN SAFE , ITS NEEDS REPAIRED.. I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO OVERSIGHT ON THIS ISSUE WITH A THE MINIMUM A NOTICE OF A POTENTIAL ISSUE . I FELT LIKE I HAD LOST TEMPORARY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS GOING TO CRASH, JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED WHAT IS NOW REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT LEAST SIX (6) TIMES AT HIGHER SPEEDS (70+MPH) AND ONCE (1) AT SLOWER IN-TOWN SPEEDS (45MPH). FORD HAS REPLACED MY STEERING STABILIZER ONCE (19,000M) AND HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE SECOND ONE (29,000M) FOR 4.5 WEEKS. TO GET IT TO STOP THE FIRST TIME, I HAD TO SLOW TO 50MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHILE THE LAST TWO TIMES, IT HAS REQUIRED ME TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 30 REGARDLESS OF THE INITIAL SPEED (I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER). IT IS NOW BAD ENOUGH I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. A LOCAL STEERING SHOP WILL EVALUATE THE F250 THIS NEXT WEEK - THEY, APPARENTLY, HAVE HAD GOOD SUCCESS WHEN REPLACING THE STABILIZER WITH AN AFTER-MARKET DOUBLE STABILIZER KIT ALONG WITH NEW FRONT SHOCKS. IT IS ALSO MY NEW UNDERSTANDING THAT IT COULD ALSO INCLUDE OTHER STEERING COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE TRACK BAR, AND TIE-RODS ..... WE'LL SEE. THE DATE OF THE EVENT IS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED IT - IT IS NOW THE END OF JANUARY OF 2020 AND IT IS STILL ONGOING.

FIRST OCCURRENCES WERE LATE 2018.2017 FORD F250 LARIAT FX4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 14000 MILES & ZERO MODIFICATIONS.. WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP OR BRIDGE/OVERPASS TRANSITION VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. SHAKING OR "DEATH WOBBLE' CONTINUES UNTIL VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO SPEEDS BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR. ABILITY TO STEER OR KEEP VEHICLE IN LANE IS SEVERELY COMPROMISED. AFTER A SERIES OF OCCURRENCES IN LATE 2018 VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP JANUARY 2019. STEERING STABILIZER WAS REPLACED. THE ISSUE DID NOT RESURFACE UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS/10000 MILES LATER. IN DECEMBER 2019 AFTER HAVING ONE PREVIOUS DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING ALONE A MONTH OR TWO PRIOR I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE 4 TIMES IN A SINGLE DAY WHILE TRAVELING WITH 5 PASSENGERS. AT THIS TIME AND IN THE FIRST OCCURRENCES WHILE TRAVELING WITH PASSENGERS I WAS ABLE TO INSTRUCT THEM TO RECORD THE VIOLENT SHAKING ON THEIR PHONE AND HAVE RECORDINGS OF 3-4 SEPARATE DEATH WOBBLES.THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND AS OF 1/23/20 I'VE BEEN TOLD THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT STABILIZER IS ON BACKORDER/UN-AVAILABLE/DISCONTINUED & THE NEW REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID-LATE FEBRUARY. INTERNET RESEARCH SUGGEST THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE AND MANY NEWER F-250'S EXPERIENCE IDENTICAL ISSUES. SAFETY TO THOSE TRAVELING IN AND AROUND THESE VEHICLES IS OF IMMEDIATE CONCERN.

MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE FRONT END DEATH WOBBLE SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 2019. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND TOLD ME THEY ADDED SOME SHIMS TO CORRECT AN CASTER PROBLEM.. THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME.SHORTLY AFTER THAT IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. I SCHEDULED IT, BUT THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THE NEXT FIX WOULD REQUIRE PARTS THAT WERE NOT AVAILABLE. SO I AM WAITING ON PARTS THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY 60-90 DAYS OUT. THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE UNSAFE CONDITION. FORD DEALERS ARE TELLING CUSTOMERS THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN FASTER THAN 70 MPH OR TO SPEND OUT OF POCKET MONEY TO BUY AFTERMARKET PARTS THAT ARE KNOWN FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. BOTTOM LINE IS MY 60K$ TRUCK IS STILL IN WARRANTY AND A DEATH TRAP TO DRIVE AND FORD IS NOT AGGRESSIVELY FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENS AT ANYWHERE FROM 50+MPH WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER AN UNEVEN PORTION OF ROAD LIKE A EXPANSION JOINT AT A BRIDGE. THE WOBBLE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU ARE BELOW 30 MPH. WHEN THE WOBBLE OCCURS IT IS NOT UNCOMMON THAT YOU LOOSE CONTROL CAUSING YOU TO BE IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC.

I AM FILING THIS REPORT FOR THE FAMOUS FORD SUPER DUTY F250 "DEATH WOBBLE"IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR, AND I AM NOW ON MY FOURTH STEERING STABILIZER INSTALLED ON MY 2017 F250 WITH ONLY 27K MILES ON IT. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED WITHIN 10K MILES, AND SUBSEQUENTLY ABOUT EVERY 3-5K MILES THEREAFTER. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WHEN A BUMP OR IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD COMES UP. THE UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK RENDERS IT OUT OF CONTROL, AND CAN ONLY BE REMEDIED BY COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, AND THREW MY WIFE AND I INTO THE MEDIAN OF THE INTERSTATE WHILE GOING ABOUT 75MPH. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT, AROUND A CURVE, ETC. I TRIED TO GET FORD TO DO A BUYBACK ON THIS VEHICLE, TO NO AVAIL. THEY HIDE BEHIND THE IL LEMON LAW VERBIAGE INSTEAD OF OWNING THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS MOST CERTAINLY A DEATH TRAP, AND I WILL NOT LET ANY OF MY FAMILY DRIVE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE JUST BECAUSE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. I AM AT A LOSS ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS. I SPENT MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS TRUCK, ONLY TO HAVE IT BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO THOSE RIDING IN IT, AND TO ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AROUND IT WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENS. THE ONLY THING LEFT IS LEGAL ACTION I GUESS, OR PARK IT IN THE FRONT YARD AND HAVE IT BE AN $80,000 FLOWER POT. PLEASE HELP!!

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO FORD DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE CORRECTED ON THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE FIRST (2) REPAIRS WERE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE 3RD REPAIR WAS JUST OVER THE 36K MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL ALONG WITH HAVING TO DO SUDDEN BRAKING TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR INCIDENTS THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL BY FORD AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO MANY YEARS WITH OUT HOLDING FORD RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE LOST DAYS OF WORK ALONG WITH COSTS OF RENTAL VEHICLES WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE.

IN OCT OF 2019 MY TRUCK, A 2017 FORD F250, DEVELOPED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHILE TRAVELLING ON I-25 IN COLORADO SPRINGS, AT APPROX 65 MPH, I WAS CHANGING LANES OVER A BRIDGE JOINT. THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, FORCING ME TO CROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED FROM AND REPAIRS WERE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH TSB 19-2274. THE INVOICE NUMBER WAS 912963 FROM PHIL LONG FORD CHAPEL HILLS, COLORADO SPRINGS CO. THE TRUCK MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE WAS 24298.

IT WAS AT THIS TIME THE PICKUP STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DANGEROUSLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WITH THE OSCILLATION. AFTER SLOWING TO AROUND 30 MPH THE OSCILLATION STOPPED. THE SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER FILLED THE CAB. THIS SAME EVEN HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR AND A HALF. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT I COULD FEEL THE DEATH WOBBLE START IN THE STEERING WHEEL A SECOND OR LESS BEFORE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STARTED. ALL THREE TIMES IT OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 75 AND 70 MPH. I DO NOT TRUST THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE!!!

IT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED WHILE PULLING A HORSE TRAILER AND THIS MAKES THE TRUCK EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER MUCH LESS RETAIN CONTROL OF. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK. THE FIRST TWO TIMES WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW THE TRUCK HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT AND THE REPAIR IS NO LONGER COVERED. THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED THE PART WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED FOR 12,000 MILES AND THE MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK WAS JUST OVER THAT MILE MARKER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED THIS TIME.

I AM TAKING MY TRUCK TO MY FORD DEALER ON MONDAY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE TRUCK WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING.

I AM REPORTING A SUSPENSION & STEERING PROBLEM WITH MY 2017 FORD F-250 WITH 28,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND PROPERLY INFLATED. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION, HAD ANY FRAME WORK PERFORMED ON IT AND THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION HAD BEEN OPERATING ACCEPTABLY. WHILE DRIVING ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A MODERATE BUMP IN THE LANE. THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING BEGAN SHAKING, VIBRATING AND OSCILLATING SEVERELY AT A HIGH FREQUENCY (RELATIVELY FAST VIBRATION). THE SHAKING CONTINUED FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND IT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AS THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING SHOOK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL BUT WAS AFRAID TOUCHING THE BRAKES WOULD MAKE THE CONDITION WORSE. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. THE SHAKING/VIBRATING DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SLOWED DOWN. ABOUT A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE SAME ROAD THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER MODERATE BUMP AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. ABOUT 2 MILES AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER MINOR BUMP AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME SEVERE SHAKING AGAIN. AT THAT POINT, I OPERATED THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 50 MPH (15 MPH BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT) AND EXITED AT THE FIRST EXIT I GOT TO. I TOOK LOCAL ROADS AT SPEEDS UNDER 50 MPH TO RETURN HOME. I HAVE OPERATED THIS TRUCK AND A 2020 FORD EXPLORER OVER THIS SAME ROAD, IN THE SAME LANE AND OVER THE SAME BUMPS NUMEROUS TIMES AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEM WITH THE EXPLORER OR SUCH A SEVERE REACTION WITH THE F-250. WITH THE 2017 FORD F-250, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE JUMPING LATERALLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER THESE BUMPS AND OTHERS LIKE THEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THESE BUMPS ARE NOT DEEP POTHOLES AND ARE TYPICAL MODERATE BUMPS COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED ON MANY OLDER HIGHWAYS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A SHORT TIME LATER.

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK MYSELF AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEATH WOBBLE LASTED ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND STOPPED ONCE I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE ALMOST TO A STOP ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THIS CONDITION IS WELL KNOWN BY FORD BUT THEY HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION. I PAID $70K FOR THIS TRUCK AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

FORD IS NOT CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING THE DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE ON THE SUPER DUTY, INSTEAD IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE POINT WITH THIS FOURTH GENERATION F250. (2017,2018,2019) AS OF 11/21/19 THE FOURTH GENERATION F250 SUPER DUTY HAS HAD MORE NHTSA SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPLAINTS FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO GENERATIONS COMBINED. (9 YEARS. SECOND GENERATION 2008-2010 AND THIRD GENERATION 2011-2016) THE CURRENT REPAIRS (COUNTERMEASURES) ARE NOT EFFECTIVE AND ARE NOT PERMANENT. THIS CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA. THE REPAIRS EITHER DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL OR ARE ONLY A TEMPORARILY BAND AID FOR THE ISSUE. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. PLEASE, OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AND ENCOURAGE FORD TO PERMANENTLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

I HAVE FILED AN EARLIER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE(TRACKING NUMBER IS 11289041). I MADE AN APPT AT FORD TO GET TRUCK FIXED FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE ME SET UP FOR A LOANER VEHICLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO RESCHEDULE. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AS A WAIT TO GET INTO THE SHOP AND I NEARLY CAUSED THREE SEPARATE ACCIDENTS ON N/S I-75. WHEN I WAS TURNED AWAY AT FORD BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR ME, THE SPOKESMAN OF SERVICE TOLD ME THAT IF THE FAILED PART ON MY TRUCK IS WHAT HE THINKS IT IS, THE PART IS ON A 6 WEEK BACK ORDER. HE CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN HOW THERE WAS A BACKLOG OF 1200 OF THESE PARTS AND HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY TELL ME WHEN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ONE IN. JEREMY ARMSTRONG(SPOKESMAN OF SERVICE) RELUCTANTLY TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN A TON OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. AS I WAS LEAVING LEBANON FORD THAT DAY IN OHIO, I NOTICED QUITE A FEW FORD SUPERDUTY'S PARKED OUTSIDE THE SERVICE AREA. I DEEM MY TRUCK NOT DRIVEABLE AND A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT ALSO ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES THAT I SHARE THE ROAD WITH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED AFTER 15K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I'VE BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD DEALERSHIP IN SAN JOSE, CA TOLD ME THE DAMPNERS ON MY TRUCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PARTS ARE IN BACK ORDER AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN FORD WILL HAVE THE PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT. DURING OUR LATEST TRIP TO SANTA ANA, CA ON DEC 26, 2019. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK, STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (45MPH+) WHEN BRAKING OR GOING OVER POTHOLES/ROUGH ROADS. THE WOOBLES ARE MUCH WORST THIS TIME. WE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE WOOBLES IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND I'VE CALLED/LEFT VOICEMAIL/TEXTED THE FORD DEALER IN SAN JOSE, CA. NO ONE CALLED BACK AFTER AN HOUR, SO WE DECIDED TO CANCEL OUT TRIP AND TURN AROUND FOR HOME.

I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERE SHAKING IN MY FRONTEND SUSPENSION/STEERING WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON ONE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE SHAKING OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A RURAL 2 LANE ROAD. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SHAKING. I HAD TO SLOW TO 25 MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STOP AND I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. EACH TIME IT OCCURS IT WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (AT LEAST 60 MPH). I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE OVER 60 MPH. ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK OR NEAR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. IN MY QUICK RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE WIDE SPREAD WITH FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. MY TRUCK HAS STOCK SUSPENSION AND STEERING AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

TRAVEL SPEED WAS BETWEEN 60-70MPH. USUALLY HAPPENED ON COUNTY ROADS THAT AREN'T PERFECTLY SMOOTH, BUT EVEN ON FRESH ASPHALT....ONE LITTLE BUMP CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150 AND WANTED TO FILE THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT IN THIER OWN WORDS; I BOUGHT A 2017 FORD F-250 FROM BLUE BONNET FORD IN NEW BRAUNFELS TEXAS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON TIME, EVERY TIME. ON 12/21/2019 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AHEAD OF A TRIP TO COLORADO. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 34,500 MILES ON IT. I ASKED THEM ROTATE AND BALANCE THE TIRES. I KNOW THEY CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE BECAUSE I WATCHED THEM DO IT. THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED AND I DEPARTED. ON MY WAY TO COLORADO, I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 (THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT) WITH THE CRUISE SET. I DROVE OVER AN EXPANSION SEAM ON A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK'S FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE AND BOUNCE SO VIOLENTLY I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 45 TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. I CONTINUE ON MY WAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM TO FORD WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK, KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WANT TO GO ON RECORD WITH NTHSA AND FORD TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP UPON MY RETURN.

FORD ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MY TRUCK HAS THIS ISSUE. THEY STATE THEY MADE A NEW PART TO HELP CORRECT IT BUT IT IS 6-8 WEEKS ON BACK ORDER. FORD STATED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY HAVE A BULLETIN TO TRY TO CORRECT IT. IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WHY WASN'T I EVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL? I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THE NEW PART THAT WILL INSTAL WILL CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I AM FEARFUL TO HAVE TO LET MY FAMILY DRIVE IN THIS TRUCK AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE IN MY HANDS AND BECOMES VERY ANXIETY PROVOKING AND ELIMINATES MY CONFIDENCE THAT I CAN CONTROL THE TRUCK. THE ONLY CURE ONCE THIS CONDITION STARTS IS TO SLOW DOWN TO THE POINT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE SMOOTHS OUT. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW, AND THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE DAY ONE.

IN NOVEMBER 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY VEHICLE WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHIMMY SITUATION COMMONLY CALLED THE DEATH SHAKE. IT WAS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEAKER FOR REPAIRS. THE MILEAGE WAS 21078. THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER. ON DECEMBER 11, 2019 I WAS TOWING A 37 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER. I WAS GOING DOWN A 6% WINDING DOWNHILL GRADE AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT INTO A VERY VIOLENT DEATH SHAKE. I BRAKED HARD AND MY VEHICLE WAS BOUNCING AND CROSSED BOTH LANES HEADET TOWOARD THE MOUNTAIN SIDE. I WAS TRYING HARD AS I COULD TO KEEP IT IN THE RIGHT LANE BUT HAD LITTLE CONTROL. I FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BLOCKING THE ENTIRE FREEWAY AT ABOUT A 30 DEGREE ANGLE. MANY VEHICLES HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A CRASH. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT A SEMI BEHIND ME AS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I AM AMAZED NO ONE CRASHED OR WAS INJURED. I LIMPED MY VEHICLE DOWN THE HILL WITH THE TRAILER BRAKES AND DOWN SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION. IT WENT INTO THE VIOLENT FRONT EBD SHAKE THREE MORE TIMES. I TOOK THE TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS AND SAID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER AGAIN WITH A UPGRADED VERSION. THE PROBLEM IS THE NEW DAMPENER IS ON A 6 WEEK NATIONAL BACKORDER. THE VEHICLE NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I NOW DO NOT HAVE A TRANSPOETATION VEHICLE TOBDRIVE A WEEK LATER. FORD IS TRYING TO PROVIDE A LOANER. THEY HAVE SO FAR BEEN UNABLE TO DO SO. THEY SAID THEY NORMALY ONLY PROVIDE A LOANER FOR 10 DAYS.

I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT 15K AND HAD THE SHOP INSPECT EVERYTHING AND FOUND NOTHING. INTERNET IS CALLING THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". FORD GOING TO INSPECT AND POSS REPLACE STEERING STABILIZER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOT AS SEVERE. THOUGHT IT WAS ROAD VIBRATION. NOW I KNOW BETTER. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! THEN THERE IS THE ISSUE OF INCREASED FRONT END WEAR. REPORTS SAY FORD IS NOT COVERING DAMAGE, SAYS ITS THE BUYER'S LACK OF MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A TRUCK WITH UNDER 15K MILES AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

I COULD HARDLY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I APPILED THE BRAKE AS TRUCKS WERE SWERVING TO GET AROUND ME AT 75 MPH. I HAD MY WIFE PUT ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AS I COULD NOT LET GO OF THE WHEEL. I COULD NOT STEER OR MOVE TO THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD. TRUCK WAS LITERALLY "HOPPING" AS I TRIED TO SLOW WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. SHAKING FINALLY SUBSIDED WHEN MY TRUCK REACHED 20 MPH. I LITERALLY WAS CLOSE TO STOPPED ON A 75 MPH ROADWAY! I INCREASED MT SPEED AGAIN TO ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE SHAKING STARTED AGAIN. I HAD TO ALMOST STOP AGAIN. MY WIFE AND I WERE VISIBLY SHAKING. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND CALLED A FORD DEALER. FORD DEALER REPLACED FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK. FORD IS BACK-ORDERED ON THEIR SHOCK FOR MONTHS. WONDER WHY? WE REPLACED IT WITH A THIRD PARTY SHOCK. THE SUSPENSION WAS CHECKED AND THE DEALER SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. TWO DAYS LATTER WE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKING AGAIN! WE ARE NOW STUCK IN PALM SPRINGS WAITING FOR A DEALER TO OPEN ON MONDAY. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. THEY SAID THEY WILL CALL THE DEALER AND ME ON MONDAY TO GET THEIR TRUCK DIVISION INVOLVED. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK PULLING A TRAILER WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

AS WITH ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE OSCILLATION BEGINS AFTER HITTING UNEVEN PAVEMENT, AND GROWS UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN. THE FORD TRUCK OWNERS THAT HAVE POSTED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE BEGGING FORD (OR NHTSA) TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR KILLED.

THE FRONT END OSCILLATED SO SEVERELY THE TRUCK WAS NOT CONTROLLABLE. IT HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO 35-40 MPH TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL. IT BECAME SO SEVERE, I QUIT DRIVING IT 1,700 MILES FROM HOME AND TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER IN THE AREA I WAS AT. THE PROBLEM IS THE STEERING STABILIZER AKA STEERING DAMPER. FORD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEN THAT PART FAILED AGAIN.WHEN THIS SITUATION OCCURS, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED UNTIL IT IS SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY.

AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES THIS VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF "DEATH WOBBLE". AT SPEEDS ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STRIKE A POTHOLE OR SOME OTHER DEVIATION IN THE ROAD SURFACE, IT WOULD BEGIN SHAKING. THE SHAKING WOULD INTENSIFY UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRUSTED LOCAL MECHANIC FEBRUARY 14, 2019. THIS MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE STEERING DAMPENER WAS SO WORE OUT THAT WHEN PUT IN HIS VISE HE COULD SLIDE THE RAM UP AND DOWN WITH NO RESISTANCE. THE DEATH WOBBLE WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPENER. IT BEGAN AGAIN APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER. ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2019 THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW, MARK MOATS FORD IN DEFIANCE, OH. AT THIS TIME THE STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT THIS DAMPENER WAS AN UPGRADED COMPONENT THAT WOULD SOLVE THE DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE. WITHIN A SHORT TIME, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ONCE AGAIN WITH A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO A THIRD MECHANIC. THIS MECHANIC FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS MEANT TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE. THAT SERVICE BULLETIN # IS 18-2268: 4WD SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION ABOVE 45 MPH, VEH BUILT ON OR BEFORE 7/31/18). IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MARK MOATS FORD NEVER INFORMED ME OF THIS SERVICE BULLETIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS THERE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019. ON NOVEMBER 16, 2019 THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN IT OCCURS THE TRUCK CAN SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT I'VE HAD PROBLEMS CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE AND IN ONE INSTANCE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENCE OF THE SHAKING. QUICKLY SLOWING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON BUSY ROADS TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE IS ALSO HIGHLY DANGEROUS

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OF THE DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY 11/16/20 AND WAS THE WORST INCIDENT SO FAR. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AFTER HITTING A COUPLE SEEMS IN THE CONCRETE THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE, PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF 1-2 MINS. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND APPLIED SLIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS, WHICH MADE THE WOBBLE WORSE. AFTER FINALLY SLOWING DOWN TO ~30 MPH THE TRUCK STOPPED WOBBLING AND SHAKING. I HONESTLY BELIEVE A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE EASILY LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED THE TRUCK CAUSING A MULTIPLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY KILLING PEOPLE.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A FLAT HIGHWAY IN KANSAS AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS NO INCLEMENT WEATHER. I CAME UPON A TYPICAL HIGHWAY BRIDGE, AND WHEN FRONT WHEELS CROSSED THE BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO ALSO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND TURN BACK AND FORTH, ABOUT AN 1/8TH TURN EACH WAY, BACK AND FORTH VERY FAST. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SLOWING THE VEHICLE AND GRIPPED THE WHEEL HARDER TO TRY TO KEEP FROM GOING OFF THE ROAD. THE SHAKING CONTINUED UNCHANGED UNTIL VEHICLE REACHED SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 20MPH. AFTER THE INCIDENT I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND INSPECTED THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, FINDING NO ABNORMALITIES.

I OWN A 2017 FORD F250 THAT I BOUGHT NEW AND NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. IN AUGUST 2019 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AT APPROX 60MPH ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND I HIT A SLIGHT FROST HEAVE ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO APPROX. 25MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC HEAD ON COLLISION. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH VIOLENT SHAKING FROM A VEHICLE, IT FELT AS IF ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE HELD ON BY A SINGLE LUG NUT AND I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL. I CALLED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SCHEDULE ME FOR REPAIRS. I LATER RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND REALIZED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS A NAME "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IT IS COMMON IN FORD TRUCKS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE SINCE BUT I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM HONESTLY VERY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS THAT DAY IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I JUST LEARNED OF THIS SITE TO REPORT SAFETY ISSUES OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE DONE IT MUCH SOONER. IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. I AM FEARFUL THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE FATALITIES BEFORE THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE IS CORRECTED.

I WAS TRAVELING ALONG I-40 GOING ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE LEFT WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS. I PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY ARM TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE SHAKING WENT AWAY AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 68MPH, AND DID NOT RETURN AS I ACCELERATED FURTHER. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON 11/12/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 38K MILES.

40,000 MILES DEATH WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING AFTER DRIVING OVER BRIDE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HAD TO RUN OFF INTO THE MEDIAN AND GRASS SLOWING DOWN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER, EXIT THE VEHICLE, AND CHECK THE TIRES, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN OVER ANOTHER BUMP AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FLEET SIDE FORD (1120 JEFFREYS DR, OSCEOLA, IA 50213, (641) 342-2537), BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,600. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE SHAKES VERY VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS (60 MPH+) WHEN A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD IS HIT. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND SHAKES SUPER HARD AND THE STEERING WHEEL TWISTS AS THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO RETAIN CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND REDUCE SPEED VERY QUICKLY, ALL THE WHILE HOPING AND PRAYING THE TRUCK DOESN'T ROLL AND YOU DON'T HIT OR GET HIT BY THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND YOU, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS TERRIFYING. FORD TRUCK OWNERS APPARENTLY CALL THIS THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" AND I COULDN'T THINK OF A MORE APT DESCRIPTION. VIDEOS CIRCULATING ONLINE OF THIS PHENOMENON MIRROR OUR EXPERIENCE EXACTLY. FORD ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE WOBBLE THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO OUR TRUCK IN MARCH 2019 AT 20,700 MILES BY INSTALLING A STEERING STABILIZER (SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT). THIS HELPED FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT NOW IN NOVEMBER 2019 AT A LITTLE OVER 30K MILES THE WOBBLE IS BACK AND WORSE THAN BEFORE. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING ANOTHER STABILIZER. BUT I'M NOT CONFIDENT THIS IS SOMETHING FORD IS ABLE (OR WILLING?) TO PROPERLY FIX, AND I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE WHATSOEVER IN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT ABOVE 50 MPH. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY 2 CHILDREN (AGED 2.5 YRS AND 6 MONTHS) IN THE VEHICLE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN CASE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO US WHILE WE'RE DRIVING OUR TRUCK, OR IN CASE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AND THE OUTCOME HAS BEEN SERIOUS INJURY/ DEATH. I HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED FORD OF THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING AT 72MPH ON I90 PULLING A 3 HORSE LIVING QUARTERS GOOSENECK TRAILER AND ANY SMALL BUMP OR IRREGULARITY CAUSED THE FRONT END TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT OF NEARLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN ONE 800 MILE ROAD TRIP AND THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS QUICKLY BRAKING TO GET THE SPEED DOWN UNDER 45MPH - WHICH THE IMMEDIATE BRAKING ITSELF IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

DEATH WOBBLE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DEVELOPED AT ABOUT 20K MILES. WHEN REPORTED TO DEALER WAS TOLD WHEELS OUT OF BALANCE. WHEN YOU HIT A SEAM OR SLIGHT IMPERFECTION IN ROAD VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH. IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF AND VEERING INTO THE NEXT LANE OF TRAFFIC HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH WHILE TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL AND JUST TRAVELING WITH PASSENGERS. MY TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALER-REYNOLDS FORD IN NORMAN, OK. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK AND ARE REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER WHICH WILL COST ME $769 PLUS A REALIGNMENT. THIS TRUCK HAS 42K MILES ON IT. THE FORD DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS HAPPENING HOWEVER FORD HAS NOT ISSUES A RECALL AND SINCE I AM PAST THE 36,000 B TO B WARRANTY I WILL BE PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. AT SOME POINT THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND FORD WILL BE FACING A LAWSUIT COSTING THEM MORE THAN A RECALL. I TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT AND PASSENGERS ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR SCOUT TROOP 222 HERE IN NOBLE, OK. PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD. I AM AWARE OF THE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS DEFECT ON THE 2017 FORD F250 MODEL TRUCKS. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING USUALLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 60MPH.

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING RADICALLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL FROM THE FRONT END BOUNCING. I HAD TO BRAKE RAPIDLY AND PULL TO SHOULDER UNDER PRETTY CROWDED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT DID THIS NUMEROUS TIMES ON A OUT OF TOWN TRIP AND I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY ON MY RETURN. THE DATE ENTERED IS THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN & HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW.

JUST UNDER 2000 MILES AGO I HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED DUE TO THE TRUCK ENGAGING INTO WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE" TODAY I EXPERIENCED THIS DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME. THIS TIME IT WAS SO BAD THAT IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. WHEN IT STARTED, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, BY THE TIME I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN THAT THE D.W. STOPPED I WAS HALF WAY INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER. I WILL BE CONTRACTING FORD SERVICE ABOUT THIS TOMORROW WHEN THEY ARE OPEN.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VIOLENT, SUSTAINED SHAKING ON THE HIGHWAY IF I HAPPEN TO HIT ONE OUR MANY AVAILABLE BUMPS. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND CANNOT BE STOPPED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETED STOPPED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW COUNTLESS REFERENCES TO SUCH A PROBLEM INCLUDING LIMITLESS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. IF THIS PROBLEM IS THAT WELL-PUBLICIZED, THERE IS NO WAY THAT FORD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. MY LOCAL DEALER, POYNTER FORD IN SEYMOUR, INDIANA, CLAIMED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THE FORD CORPORATION'S CHAT LINE POLITELY DIRECTED ME TO YOUR WEBSITE. IN SHORT, I, AND ALL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE, ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE. THIS SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR AT SPEEDS LESS THAN ONE WOULD BE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. I ASKED THE CHAT LINE REP WHAT THE TERM FOR THE EVENT WAS, WHAT PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS(60 MPH AND UP) AND YOU HIT A BUMP, HOLE, OR DEVIATION IN THE ROAD SURFACE THE FRONT TIRES BEGIN TO WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM IN THE LAST 500 MILES. THE CONDITION IS SO ROUGH THAT I'M IN FEAR OF DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT IS SO SCARY GIVE ME SOME PEOPLE AT THE BAR. I REFUSE TO ALLOW MY WIFE OR DAUGHTERS TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE STEERING STABILIZER. I'M TRULY HAPPY THAT I HAVE A DEALER WHO IS ADMITTING THERE IS A FAULT. LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IT'S GOING TO RETURN AND THIS IS NOT A TRUE FIX IT'S ONLY A BAND-AID TO GET US THROUGH THE WARRANTY TIME LIMIT. I'M REALLY HOPING THAT FORD WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND PROPERLY FIX THESE VEHICLES, SOME OF THESE COST UPWARDS OF $75,000 AND ARE JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITION.

6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING THE DREADED DEATH WOOBLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS OR HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THE ONLY PART THEY CHANGED WAS THE STEERING STABILIZER. THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT NOW IT'S BACK AND WORSE THAN EVER. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I WONT EVEN DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY UNTIL I CAN GET IT BACK INTO THE DEALER WHICH I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT NEXT THURSDAY. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

IN OCTOBER 2018, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH IN MY 2017 F-250 (MY TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 24,000 MILES ON IT), I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AND THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH. THE TRUCK DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER A COUPLE WEEKS LATER. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. THE SHAKING STOPPED FOR A FEW DAYS AND I PUT THE TRUCK IN STORAGE FOR NINE MONTHS WHILE DEPLOYED. WHEN I RETURNED IN OCTOBER 2019, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE FOR THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE SHAKING RETURNED AFTER I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHEN HITTING EXPANSION JOINTS AND A POTHOLE AT 70-75 MPH. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I OR OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NOT BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED YET, AND I CANNOT TAKE MY FAMILY IN THIS $60,000 TRUCK. I HAVE READ ABOUT COUNTLESS EXAMPLES FROM OTHERS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER IN TOPEKA TODAY, THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THIS 'DEATH WOBBLE' IS 'KIND OF JUST WHAT THE TRUCK DOES.' THIS IS CRAZY, AND I CAN'T ACCEPT IT FOR A TRUCK AS EXPENSIVE AS THIS. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED.

Mileage: 24,109

AT SPEEDS AROUND 55+ MPH, AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS TO QUICKLY SLOW THE VEHICLE TO 10-20 MPH, AND ALLOW THE SHAKING TO STOP. AFTER THIS, YOU CAN RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL SPEED. THE COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET REFER TO THIS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO STEERING ABILITY AND NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE FORD DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, THERE IS APPARENTLY NO STANDARD FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. ON A SMOOTH ROADWAY, THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOES NOT OCCUR. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 20,000 MILES AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPAIRED IT WITH AN ALIGNMENT. THE SITUATION REOCCURRED AROUND 29,000 MILES.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END AFTER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND ARM. CONDITION DID NOT IMPROVE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SOME BUSHINGS. PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE TIRES ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THESE CONDITIONS ALL OCCURED AT SPEEDS AROUND 65MPH. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. FORD DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM. I COMPLAINED ABOUT A KNOCKING SOUND. MANAGER SAID IT WAS SOME PLASTIC BUSHINGS IN THE SPRINGS. AFTER REPLACING SOME FRONT END PARTS, THE SOUND WENT AWAY. TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AT LEAST A WEEK ON EACH OCCURRENCE. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, THE DISPLAY WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY. TOOK 6 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DISPLAY WAS FINALLY REPLACED. A VIBRATIONS IN THE SEATS OCCURS WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE TRAILER IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. WHEN A DIFFERENT TRUCK PULLS THE TRAILER, NO VIBRATIONS OCCURS IN THE SEATS AND FLOORBOARD.

WHILE CROSSING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AROUND 60 MPH IN MY 2017 CC 4WD F250 THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. EVERYTHING FELL OUT OF THE CUP HOLDERS AND OFF THE DASH AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER MANAGING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND AVOID OTHER VEHICLES AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS ABLE TO REACH THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A STOP. SCARY AS HELL. HAD TO DRIVE TRUCK HOME ON THE FEEDER AT 40 MPH FOR FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STABILIZER AT AROUND 11,000 MILES. THAT FIX LASTED 5,000 MILES. SO NOW WAITING ON THE THIRD STABILIZER IN 16,000 MILES AND THE PART IS BACKORDERED. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HAD IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC OR IN THE RAIN I, AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND ME, MIGHT NOT HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURY. SO THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE "FORD TSB FIX" IS ONLY GOOD FOR AROUND 5,000 MILES. EACH DEALER VISIT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT PERFECT EXCEPT THE STABILIZER. THIS IS A NEW TRUCK THAT SHOULDN'T REQUIRE A 5000 MILE FRONT-END JOB. WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS OR SIGNS PRIOR TO THE EVENT AND PER THE DEALER, ALL IS GOOD. IT IS NOT. TRUCK IS A HAZARD FOR ANYONE IN OR AROUND IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH UPON HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS LACK OF CONTROL CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO EITHER GO STRAIGHT WHEN YOU NEED TO TURN OR TO BOUNCE YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO AROUND 30 MPH. THIS IN ITSELF IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE. THIS SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY NOTHING MORE THAN HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIT A POTHOLE OR SOME OTHER AVOIDABLE OBJECT. BOTH THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION ARE A DANGER NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE, BUT ALSO TO ANYONE AROUND OR BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. FORD DEALERSHIP STATES FORD HAS NOTHING TO SAY ON THE MATTER. INITIAL CONCERN WAS HANDLED BY REPLACING THE STEERING STABILIZER, A FIX WHICH LASTED ONLY 8 MONTHS, THEN THE EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN. ON MY LAST 400 MILE TRIP, I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE 6 TIMES FROM THIS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT, THAT MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED.

I AM WRITING TO YOU REGARDING MY TRUCK WHICH HAS JUST UNDER 12000 MILES ON IT, BUT, THIS LETTER GOES BEYOND MY TRUCK, IT INCLUDES POTENTIALLY EVERY F250 ON THE ROAD FROM AT LEAST THE 2017 MODEL YEAR AND POTENTIALLY OTHER YEARS. THE ISSUE IS THE INFAMOUS DEATH WOBBLE WHICH OCCURS ON CERTAIN ROUGH ROADS AND BRIDGE JOINTS. I AM CURRENTLY ON A TRIP TO COLORADO AND SOUTH DAKOTA FROM PENNSYLVANIA AND IN THE LAST 1600 MILES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM MORE THAN 35 TIMES (WHAT'S THE POINT OF COUNTING?). I KNOW YOU HAVE A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT LISTING A FIX WHICH FROM MY RESEARCH APPARENTLY DOESN'T WORK LONG TERM BUT DOES WEAR OUT TIRES A HELL OF A LOT FASTER. HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH AND EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? IF NOT, PUT YOURSELF IN ONE OF THESE IMPROPERLY ENGINEERED TRUCKS AND DRIVE UNTIL YOU FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF SPEED, BUMP FREQUENCY AND ANY OTHER SITUATION WHICH MAY CAUSE OCCURRENCE. WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU WILL HAVE THOROUGHLY SCARED IT OUT OF YOU ALONG WITH THE DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLES AROUND YOU. THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES WOULD BE PRICELESS IF IT WERE A HORROR SHOW INSTEAD OF A ROAD SITUATION. IN ORDER TO STOP DEATH WOBBLE THE VEHICLE MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP, OFTEN IN PLACES WHERE THE BERM OF THE ROAD ISN'T WIDE ENOUGH OR SAFE ENOUGH TO GET OFF ON AND YOU HAVE AN 18 WHEELER ABOUT TO RUN UP YOUR BUTT. AFTER YOU FINISH WIPING, TAKE THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW ENGINEERING COULD SCREW UP SO BADLY AND QUALITY COULD LET IT SLIDE AND THE BLASTED BEAN COUNTERS CAN BE SO AFRAID OF CUTTING INTO PROFITS TO PERMIT A PROPER FIX. BY THE WAY, IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALERS HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING THE 'PARTS' FOR THE INADEQUATE FIX. I SUSPECT IN ADDITION TO THE IMMEDIATE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR FATIGUE FAILURE OF SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.

2017 PRE OWNED FORD F250 DIESEL PURCHASED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. PURCHASED TRUCK NOV 2018. EXPERIENCED 6-7 EPISODES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ONLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50-60 MPH WHEN HITTING SEMI ROUGH ROAD. IT BEGINS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY AND WON'T STOP EVEN WHEN CONTINUING ON TO SMOOTH ROAD. ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER IT STARTS IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 50 MPH (THEREBY FRONT LOADING THE SUSPENSION BY APPLYING THE BRAKES) WHICH IS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, BE AWARE THIS TRUCK IS TOTALLY STOCK FROM FORD. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS OF ANY KIND. TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT 11 MONTHS. TRUCK IS GREAT IN EVERY OTHER WAY AND DRIVES REALLY WELL IN EVERY OTHER WAY. THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, BUT IS MORE LIKELY THE ROUGHER THE ROAD IS AT THOSE SPEEDS. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP IN AUG 2019 AND THEY REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS IN FRONT END SUSPENSION ALL FREE OF CHARGE. IT JUST DID THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN THIS LAST WEEKEND 10/12/19. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A 1K MILE TRIP THIS NEXT WEEK SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND TRUCK IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE ON 11/4/19. WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS DOES NEARLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. IT AT LEAST CAUSES IT TO VEER 1-2 FEET OUT OF THE LANE YOU ARE IN. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN TOWING A 5-10K POUND LOAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY LESS DANGEROUS ITEMS RECALLED ON VARIOUS VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSED. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED ONE DAY WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION ADVANCED WEAR OF FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS AND TIRES OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

MY HUSBAND OWNS A 2017 FORD F250. HE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND SINCE EARLY ON IN OWNING THE VEHICLE, HE HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT I WOULD CALL A DEATH SHAKE WHEN HE HITS BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT CAUSES NECK AND BACK PAIN EACH TIME. THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL HE CAN GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAUSES EXTREME DANGER ON THE INTERSTATE AND BUSY ROADS. JUST TODAY HE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT HE COULD BARELY CONTROL IT. ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A STOP. THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADS. I KNOW THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TO THE NTHSA AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO HOLD FORD MOTOR COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS MALFUNCTION OF THEIR VEHICLE. FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IN MANY OF THEIR TRUCKS. MY HUSBAND ALSO HAS A 2008 F250 THAT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING, JUST NOT AS OFTEN. WE HAD THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE HAD TO RESCHEDULE UNTIL HIS OTHER TRUCK IS OUT OF THE SHOP. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE HOLD FORD MOTOR ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DANGEROUS TRUCKS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY TRUCK PASSED OVER SMALL BUMP IN ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ENTER LANE NEXT TO ME. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE PASSENGERS WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ALMOST CRASHED WITH THE SEMI I HAD PASSED PRIOR TO THE BUMP. THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED ONCE MY TRUCK REACHED A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THIS HAPPENED EARLIER ON SAME TRIP, HOWEVER, I DIDN'T THINK AS MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS GOING SLOWER AND IT DIDN'T LAST AS LONG. THE 2ND TIME MADE US FEEL OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER SO WE DROVE 10MPH BELOW POSTED SPEED LIMIT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

THIS IS SERIOUSLY SO DANGEROUS. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY PUT A NEW SHOCK ON, IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO I TOOK IT UP THERE AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A TRAIL AND ERROR PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. RIDICULOUS

AT 75MPH ON A THREE LANE FREEWAY, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH RESULTED IN A VIOLENT FRONTEND SHIMMY THAT WAS SO BAD I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SLOW DOWN TO 25MPH TO GAIN CONTROL. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN QUESTION. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN SHORTLY THEREAFTER AT SAME SPEED SO I HAD TO CONTINUE AT 45 MPH AND DRIVE ON BACK ROADS TO GET HOME. ON TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALER THEY FOUND "DRAG LINKS AND TRACKBAR, BALL JOINTS HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY TECH. ALSO FOUND THAT STEERING DAMPENER HAD TOO MUCH MOVEMENT. REPLACED TRACK BAR BALL JOINTS, DRAG LINKS AND STEERING DAMPENER." HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES, THAT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED, NOT USED IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE, FREEWAY MILES ONLY, AND NEVER BEEN IN THE DIRT. AFTER NOTICING ONLINE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AMONGST 2017 F250S, OUR CONCERN IS IF THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL OCCUR AGAIN. NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE.

WHILE TRAVELING IN THE #3 LANE AT 57 MPH AT 6:10 P.M. ON INTERSTATE 80 IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA; AS I DROVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROADWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE/OSCILLATE VIOLENTLY AS WAS THE ENTIRE TRUCK, WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AT THAT POINT. I DECELERATED THE TRUCK WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES AS I THOUGHT THAT WOULD SEND ME INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SPIN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH OR WORSE. LUCKILY, DRIVERS AROUND ME REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND GAVE ME AS MUCH SPACE AS THEY COULD SO THAT I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. ONCE I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE SHAKING WAS NOT AS INTENSE AND I BEGAN TO CAREFULLY BRAKE ALL THE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. I STOPPED THE TRUCK ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY. SINCE MY FORD DEALER WAS CLOSED AT THAT TIME; I DROVE THE TRUCK ON SURFACE STREETS BACK HOME AND CONTACTED MY DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER EXAMINED THE TRUCK OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING AMISS WITH THE TRUCK. A DAY PRIOR, THE SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED ME IF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED BEFORE OR AFTER I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED. I TOLD HIM I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED ON SATURDAY AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED ON THURSDAY, SO IT WAS AFTER. THE NEXT DAY ON HIS RETURN CALL TO ME HE INDICATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AMISS WITH THE TRUCK OTHER THAN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS NOT CORRECT, FOR WHICH THEY ADJUSTED TO "PROPER" INFLATION.

I HAVE A SEVERE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. IT ISN'T A CONSTANT WOBBLE AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I NOTICE IT HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER IT DIDN'T HELP. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND RIGHT AND THAT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE. I HAD THEM BALANCED THAT SAME DAY, AGAIN IT DIDN'T HELP. THE PROBLEM FORCING ME TO BASICALLY PARK MY VEHICLE OR ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND TOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS THAT I KNOW I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE WOBBLE AT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE WHEN THIS WOBBLE HAPPENS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL I HAVE TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN AND PULLOVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE VERY SAME ISSUE. IT'S UNSAFE AND IT GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THESE PROBLEMS.

'DEATH WOBBLE' IT STARTED WHEN MY TRUCK WAS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AT 24,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T GRAB IT. THE TRUCK WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND IT QUITE SHAKING ONCE I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 25-30 MPH. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHICH SCARES ME. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE IT UNTIL YOU'VE EXPERIENCED IT. I'VE HAD MY TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY HAVE WORKED ON IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I'M NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN, AND I HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF FORD VEHICLES MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

THIS COMPLAINT IS REFERRING TO THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THE FORD SUPER DUTY. DEATH WOBBLE DEFINED AS UNCONTROLLED OSCILLATION OF STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WHEN TRUCK HAD ~ 20000 MILES. I HAD VEHICLE SERVICE BY FORD DEALERSHIP @ ~ 28000 MILES AND WAS TOLD STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED. DEATH WOBBLE REOCCURRED AGAIN ~10000 MILES AFTER SERVICE. HOWEVER VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO KEEP MAKING FREQUENT REPAIRS.

I HAVE A 2017 F250 THAT DEVELOPED A SERIOUSLY VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR BRIDGE EXPANSION AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER THE TRUCK NEARLY GOT OUT OF CONTROL ON A FEW OCCASIONS TWICE WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS IN THESE MODEL TRUCKS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACK BAR, HOWEVER IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE TRUCK WHILE I WAITED FOR THE PART. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF ME CALLING REPEATEDLY TO CHECK ON THE STATUS IT FINALLY CAME IN AND THEY REPLACED IT ALONG WITH THE ONE SHOCK BECAUSE THEY SAID IT CAUSED IT DAMAGE. NOW HERE I AM A COUPLE MONTHS LATER AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS BACK AND MORE DANGEROUS. I TAKE THE TRUCK BACK IN AND TELL THEM THE TRACK BAR IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THEY PROCEED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WILL LOOK AT IT, IT COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS. MIND YOU THE TRUCK HAS 44,000 MILES NOW AND ANYTHING BUT THE TRACK BAR THEY TELL ME IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, DESPITE THAT THIS IS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM I'VE HAD THEM LOOKING AT THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED. NOW I GET A PRICE QUOTE TELLING ME THAT IT NEEDS A DRAG LINK, A ROD, AND AN END ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WILL COST ME $625 FOR THE REPAIRS! THIS IS FOR A PROBLEM THAT I BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR MONTHS AGO AND I GOT STUCK WAITING ON BACK ORDERED PARTS. EVEN AFTER THE NEW DIAGNOSIS I ASKED WHAT WOULD BE THE GUARANTEE THAT I DON'T PAY TO FIX THE "NEW PROBLEM" AND GET THE TRUCK BACK AND IT STILL HAVE THE ISSUE? I WAS TOLD THAT "I CAN'T PROMISE IT'S NOT ALSO THE TRACK BAR, BUT THESE PARTS ARE DEFINITELY LOOSE AND PART OF THE PROBLEM." IF THEY'RE ALL CONNECTED TO THE PROBLEM THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY ALL GET REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AFTER THEY TOLD ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT? NOT SAFE! *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OUR FORD F-250 STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE IN THE FRONT END AFTER GOING ONTO AN OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VIOLENT WOBBLE OF THE FRONT END. IT FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION IS GOING TO SELF DESTRUCT. THIS HAPPENED ONE TIME AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH AND ANOTHER TIME AT A SPEED OF 75 MPH. IN ORDER TO GET THE FRONT END SHAKING TO STOP, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. DURING BOTH EPISODES, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE WOBBLING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE FIRST EPISODE OCCURRED WITH APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT EPISODE, WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND INDICATED IT WAS FIXED. THE SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED WITH ABOUT 29,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WE AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE CASTER SETTING ON THE VEHICLE TO AN OUT OF SPEC CONDITION AND TOLD US THAT THE FORD REGIONAL SERVICE REP TOLD THEM THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THAT SERVICE VISIT, THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 MPH AND 76 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH AT A RELATIVELY HIGH SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A THIRD TIME TO ADDRESS THIS NEWEST PROBLEM.

AT APPROXIMATELY 35,500 MILES I HAD THE TRACK BAR, A NEW STEERING BOX AND PITMAN ARM REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR, AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 THE TRUCK DEVELOPED "DEATH WOBBLE" 3 TIMES OVER SMALL BUMPS AT ABOUT 50MPH . I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY BACK TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 IN THE FAST LANE THINKING THEY FIXED AND THE TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO DEATH WOBBLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 -70 MPH AND HAD TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR PILE UP AS THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. AFTER I GOT BACK I DROPPED THE TRUCK AT FORD AGAIN AND TOLD HIM DRIVE IT, WHICH HE WOULDN'T , HE SAID HE CHECKED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND THEY WERE TIGHT, HE SAID "TAKE TO SOME PLACE THAT HAS A BETTER ALIGNMENT RACK, SO I DID THAT AND PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR IT. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I REPLACED THE STEERING BOX TO A TOP OF THE LINE BOX OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN REPLACED . I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SAFELY SINCE NOV. OF 2018 AND IT IS NOW JUL. 29TH 2019. I CANT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF KILLING AN INNOCENT PERSON, EVEN THE MECHANIC THAT PUT THE SECOND STEERING BOX IN DID THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITH HIM AFTER THE 2ND REPLACEMENT BOX. AFTER LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONS I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PEOPLE ARE GOING DIE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. IT IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NOT DEATHS AND VERY SERIOUS INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS AS I HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO THE OTHER LANE SEVERAL TIMES AND DROP A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPEED VERY QUICKLY . I PAID $60,000 DOLLARS FOR A BRAND NEW TRUCK AND NOW NO ONE CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT, EVEN THE MECHANIC'S ARE SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD DEATH WOBBLE AT LEAST 13 TO 15 TIMES FROM JANUARY UNTIL NOW AND AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 70. PLEASE HELP !!

AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, IF YOU DRIVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE, AT WHICH TIME YOU BASICALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING OVER RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS. THE SAME THING IS TRUE WHEN DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE WITH EXPANSION JOINTS. IN ALL CASES, THE TRUCK'S STEERING CAN OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. RECENTLY, WHILE TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL TRAILER 'ON THE HIGHWAY', I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN A 6% GRADE AND HIT A SMALL ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME, I WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TOWING A 12,000 POUND 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE WOBBLE SUBSIDED. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WHILE TOWING A TRAILER. THE WHOLE TIME DURING THE WOBBLE, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIFTING LEFT AND RIGHT OUT OF CONTROL. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE 2 HOUR TRIP. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S ALSO HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO TRAILER ATTACHED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SEEMS TO INVOLVE THE STEERING/SUSPENSION. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65MPH TO 75MPH IF THE VEHICLE HITS A ROUGH BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE UP AND DOWN PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS. THIS CAUSES A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO 25MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY ON A HIGHWAY TRIP FROM CHICAGO TO DENVER GOING 70MPH ON I-76 WESTBOUND, MAY 9,2019. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I AM FORCED TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY REPLACED PARTS WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12-22-18 AND WAS FIXED ON 01-04-19 BY REPLACING THE DRAG LINK AND DAMPER ASSEMBLY. TODAY, 03-31-19, THE TRUCK DID ANOTHER DEATH WOBBLE AT 70 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 F250 ON AN INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65MPH, I DROVE OVER AN EXPANSION GAP ON A BRIDGE AND SUDDENLY THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE GOT A FLAT OR SOMETHING. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THIS IS DUE TO A WIDESPREAD ISSUE OF "DEATH WOBBLE" KNOWN IN FORD SUPERDUTY MODELS. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR AGAIN AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW SAFE THIS VEHICLE WILL BE WHEN DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THIS STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN AND I MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON A FREEWAY. THAT'S A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND LIKELIHOOD OF TOWING A TRAILER. IT IS MY OPINION THAT FORD SHOULD DO A RECALL OF 2017-2019 SUPERDUTY'S TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

DEATH WOBBLE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AFTER DEALERSHIP REPLACED WORN PARTS. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON AN OPEN ROAD AND NOT A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND IT HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 20,000 MILES. A RECALL SHOULD BE PURSUED IN ORDER TO MAKE DRIVING A 2017 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY SAFE.

IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AND I FEAR HITTING ANY KIND OF BUMP IN THE ROAD. EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP LIKE A JOINT IN THE ROAD WILL CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED VIOLENT SHAKING UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO 30-40 MPH. SAFETY IS AT RISK WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE IS SET OFF. I HOPE A RECALL WOULD HOLD FORD TO A HIGHER STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO ENGINEERING STEERING AND SUSPENSION PARTS. THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE TO WORRY FOR YOUR SAFETY WHEN DRIVING A WELL-MAINTAINED VEHICLE IN NEARLY NEW CONDITION.

I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE ON A REGULAR, BUT UNEXPECTED, BASIS. I HOPE FORD WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE BUT I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THEIR "SOLUTIONS" TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS VIOLENT AND OUT OF CONTROL.

THE SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL WERE SHAKING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I SLOWED TO 55 AND IT STOPPED. IT DID IT TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY WITH SOPHIE IN THE CAR. I GOOGLED 2017 F250 SHAKING. IT'S A DEATH WOBBLE. AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE ISSUE.

THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I GOT MY SPEED UP TO 55MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 BEFORE REGAINING CONTROL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD HAS TO ADDRESS!!

STOCK, AS DELIVERED BY THE DEALER, 2017 F250 SUPERDUTY 4X4 FX4 WITH 20,XXX MILES. THREE EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED SO FAR.. AT SPEEDS AROUND 55MPH THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING BUMP.(DEATH WOBBLE). THE BUMP THAT INITIATED THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE TRUCK AND LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WERE NOT MAJOR BUMPS AND ON STATE HIGHWAYS. YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING THE TRUCK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS BELOW 25MPH. FOUND NUMEROUS REFERENCES OF THIS OCCURRING WHEN SEARCHING ISSUE ON LINE. DEALER SAYS IT AN KNOWN ISSUE AND WOULD REPLACE A STEERING COMPONENT BUSHING UNDER WARRANTY. ASKED IF THIS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. WAS TOLD TO TRY AN AFTERMARKET DUAL STABILIZER. DEALER WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. SOUNDED TO ME LIKE THEY COMPONENT THAT WAS DAMAGED WOULD BE REPLACE BUT THE CAUSE OF THE COMPONENT FAILURE WOULD NOT BE RESOLVED.

DEATH WOBBLE - AT ABOUT 55-60 MILES PER HOUR WITH AN EMPTY TRUCK, I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THE FREEWAY. MY TRUCK SEEMED TO GO OVER A VERY SLIGHT POTHOLE IN THE ROAD AND BEGAN THIS JUMPING. THE FREEWAY WAS CROWDED AND I WAS IN LANE#3. THE TRUCK SWERVED VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND GET TO THE SHOULDER. THE DEATH WOBBLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED TO ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ONCE MORE THE SAME DAY. IT TOOK FORD A WEEK TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN THEY ONLY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER WITH THE SAME TYPE AND DID A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. TRUCK STILL WANTS TO JUMP AROUND ON ROAD SURFACES AND I FEEL THE DEATH WOBBLE COULD HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ACTED LIKE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, UNTIL I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND MANY DISCUSSIONS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER 2017 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS DOING THE SAME THING. THEN THEY ADMITTED TO SEEING IT ON OTHER VEHICLES. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO CRASH AT ANY MOMENT.

WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES, MY FORD F250 4X4 SUPER DUTY TRUCK (ALL STOCK) WOULD WOBBLE VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR DIP ON THE ROAD, TYPICALLY AT SPEEDS OVER 45MPH. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AS THIS OCCURS FREQUENTLY. FORD REPLACED SEVERAL STEERING PARTS AND ADMITTED TO WHAT THEY CALL A "DEATH WOBBLE". WHAT SCARES ME THE MOST IS THAT THE WOBBLE WAS SO BAD, IT FORCED ME INTO THE MEDIAL OF THE INTERSTATE AND NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. MY FEARS ARE MORE TOWARD THAT IF I HAD MY 17 YEAR OLD DRIVING THE TRUCK, MUCH WORSE COULD HAVE HAPPENED AS IT TOOK ALL I HAD TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DOWN TO A SAFE SPEED TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL. THE WOBBLE OR SHIMMY WAS SO EXTREME THAT I FELT IT NEEDED REPORTED. WHEN I ASKED IF THE PARTS REPLACEMENT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM INDEFINITELY, THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A GOOD ANSWER. SO MY FEARS AGAIN ARE "WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN AND WHAT IF MY TEENAGER IS DRIVING". I DON'T FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED AND NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT, OR WORSE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH AND UPON HITTING A BUMP/EXPANSION JOINT/POTHOLE IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK WILL ENTER INTO A NON-DAMPENING CASTOR OSCILLATION (I.E. DEATH WOBBLE). WHEN THIS OCCURS IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND THE DRIVER MUST SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40 - 45 MPH TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING A LARGE/HEAVY TRAILER.

I EXPERIENCED STEERING OSSALATION AND WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING AT AROUND 70 MPH, IT HAPPENS AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE SEAM THE TRUCK BECAMES UNCONTROLLABLE, SHAKING VIOLENTLY , IT WAS SO VIOLENT I HAD TO SLOW TO ALMOST 20 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONCE I COULD CONTROL THE STEERING. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND SEEMS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE 2017. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB, BUT THE TRUCK SHOULD BE RECALLED. 1 AFFECTED PRODUCT

DRIVING SOUTH ON I-95 JUST NORTH OF PORTLAND,ME. TRAVELING WITH NO LOAD AT 70 MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT. CAME ACROSS A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT WHICH RAN SLIGHTLY DIAGONAL TO THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. THE TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS SHUDDERING. I HAD ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING LEFT TO RIGHT AT A HIGH OSCILLATION. I HAD LIMITED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND LET OF THE ACCELERATOR AND DRIFTED TOWARD THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH THE OSCILLATION STOPPED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CONDITION REPEATED. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT ON LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE JUST OVER 50K MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE TIRES AS THEY MAY BE GETTING WORN. I DID FOLLOW THAT INSTRUCTION ALTHOUGH THE TIRES STILL MET THE WEAR LIMITS. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB # 18-2268 WHICH I AM GOING TO HAVE EXECUTED NEXT WEEK WHICH LOOKS INTO THIS PROBLEM AND MAKES MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. ALL THAT SAID, THE PROBLEM IS FAR GREATER THAN SOME TIRE WEAR AND ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENTS. NO VEHICLE SHOULS SHAKE AND OCILLATE YOU OFF OF THE ROAD IN A VIOLENT OSCILLATION WHERE THE DRIVER LOSES THEIR ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS A FAR MORE SERIOUS DESIGN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. AS THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEGE THE PROBLEM AND OFFER A TRUE FIX (AT THEIR COST) THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES IS PLAYING A GAME OF RUSSIAN ROULETTE UNTIL THE VEHICLE GOES BACK INTO THE VIOLENT OSCILLATION. AFTER READING MANY ON-LINE POSTS, THIS APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING AT ALL DIFFERENT MILEAGE LEVELS. FORD NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CUSTOMER AND THEIR FAMILY SHOULD NOT BE ENDANGERED FOR A DEFECTIVE FRONT SUSPENSION

FORD TOLD ME THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR FIX.....PEOPLE ONLINE SAYING EVEN AFTER FORD FIX STILL NOT FIXED. I DONT FEEL SAFE LETTING ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE....OR ME DRIVING IT ABOVE 50 MPH.

YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH FOR IT TO GO AWAY. I AM GOOD AT RECOVERING FROM IT NOW..... BUT I ALMOST SMASHED INTO THE GUY NEXT TO ME THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.....

10/19/2018, AT 54 MPH, ON A SMOOTH, 4 LANE FREEWAY AT 4:30 AM, MY TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON A ROLLING FLAT TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY LET OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN AS QUICKLY AS I COULD WITHOUT BRAKING; ALTHOUGH DIFFICULT TO STEER, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT IT. I COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK OR ANY EVIDENCE I UNKNOWINGLY RAN OVER SOMETHING. LATER THAT MORNING, CALLED 3 FORD DEALERSHIPS TO SEE IF I COULD GET MY TRUCK IN FOR INSPECTION, WHICH ALL 3 TOLD ME THIS ISSUE IS KNOW AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK COULDN'T BE SEEN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TIRE SHOP WHOM I HAVE DONE BUSINESS WITH ALL MY FLEET TRUCKS AND TRUST THEIR EXPERIENCE IN SUSPENSION, TIRE, BRAKE AND SHOCK SERVICES. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THE SAME THING ABOUT THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. HE SAID HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK AND MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS LOOSE, BROKEN AND THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS CORRECT. THAT ALL CHECKED OUT FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR THE SUPER DUTY TRUCKS AND APPARENTLY FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA TAKES THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND BECOMES INVOLVED IN THE REMEDY OF THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD F250 THAT HAS "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUES. IT BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE IF IT HITS ROUGH PAVEMENT ON THE HIGHWAY, USUALLY AT 70 MPH. IF THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE IT IS UNCONTROLLABLE. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 20 MPH OR STOP COMPLETELY. WHILE DECELERATING IT WILL GET WORSE THAT AT 70 MPH FOR A SHORT TIME, AND THEN SLOWLY STOP SHAKING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE HELLER FORD DEALERSHIP IN EL PASO, THEY REPLACED A STEERING STABILIZER. THE TRUCK NOW HAS A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END, AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO START THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF WORN TIRES.

VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. VEHICLE BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY. MUST REDUCE SPEED IMMEDIATELY TO UNDER 20 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. INVESTIGATING LEMON LAW. INCREDIBLEY UNSAFE PROBLEM. HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS CONDITION AND STILL NO FIX/RECALL.

DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED AT AROUND13K MILES. IT IS TRIGGERED BY HITTING A BUMP AT 45MPH OR FASTER. WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES SO BADLY YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND SWERVE ONTO THE SHOULDER. SHAKING GOES AWAY AT 25MPH. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A VISIBLE PROBLEM, BUT DID EXPERIENCE THE WOBBLE. MECHANIC WAS TERRIFIED. FORD HQ TOLD THEM TO RANDOMLY CHANGE COMPONENTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IT DID GO AWAY UNTIL NOW. TRUCK HAS 22K MILES ON IT AND THE DEATH WOBBLE IS BACK. DEALERSHIPS CANT SEE ANYTHING WRONG BUT WONT DRIVE TRUCK LONG ENOUGH TO HIT THE 'RIGHT' BUMP TO TRIGGER THE WOBBLE, SO WONT RE-FIX IT. THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT END, AND FORD CLAIM NOT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT IT BEING AN ISSUE, AND OTHER PEOPLE ON LINE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE OVER 35MPH IN CASE I HIT THE BUMP THAT TRIGGERS IT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A TRUCK AND SEVERAL CARS SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS PROBLEM MUST BE RECTIFIED, OR SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NO MODIFICATIONS. WOBBLE DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP. IT SEEMS TO BE CERTAIN BUMPS THAT TRIGGER IT.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. I FIRST NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND REGAIN CONTROL. I BEGIN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARN OF THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF, I WILL NOW TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE SUSPENSION CHECKED. SECONDLY, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUE'S WITH MY SYNC3 SYSTEM, BLUETOOTH, CLIMATE CONTROL, EASY ENTRY AND EXIT FOR THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THE APPLE CAR PLAY FEATURE. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP, I WAS TOLD THE SYNC3 SYSTEM, A COUPLE MODULES AND THE CHASSIS HARNESS WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE'S. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO FORD THREE TIME FOR THE SYNC3 MALFUNCTION AND WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THE BLUETOOTH STREAMING WITH APPLE PRODUCTS, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF IT'S SUPPOSE TO WORK. I HAVE CONTACT FORD FOR A BUY BACK AND THE ANSWER OF COURSE WAS "NO" I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP A FEW MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME REPAIR AND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE FOR THE SYNC3 ISSUE THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE'S. HOPEFULLY FORD FIGURES OUT THERE ISSUE'S AND OFFER GREATER CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR A NOT SO CHEAP VEHICLE.

ON HIGHWAY - THE FRONT-END AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH, UNCONTROLLABLY AND VIOLENTLY REQUIRED BREAKING TO AROUND 20 MPH BEFORE GAINING CONTROL. IT IS DESCRIBED ON BOTH THE INTERNET AND SOME DEALERS AS "DEATH WOBBLE" THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES OVER A SEVEN (7) HOUR DRIVE FROM CO TO OK AT SPEEDS OF 70, 65 AND 60MPH. FORD MOTOR CO REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I ASKED THEM TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THEY WOULD NOT. I SOLD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AT A $13,000 LOSS. I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO JOINING THE CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT WHEN FILED AS IT IS A MATTER OF TIME VERSES "IF" ONE WILL BE FILED. NO PICTURES... JUST GOOGLE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE"

9800 MILES AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT 60-65 IT STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF YOUR HAND. YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 25-40 BEFORE IT WILL STOP. DID IT 3 TIMES IN I-65 BETWEEN BOWLING GREEN AND LOUISVILLE KY. WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE OR RIDE IT ANYMORE. IN FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AND RAINING TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SLOW DOWN IS VERY DANGEROUS
