crossed over an overpass, the different road heights cause the death wobble. Have not taken to dealer yet.

My f250 experiences what is known as death wobble when driving over 50mph and hitting bumps. It's been happening much more frequently as of late. Only way to stop it from wobbling is getting over to the shoulder and slow down to approximately 40-45.

Pulling my camper with my 2019 Ford F250. As we began to go down a hill I tapped the brakes to just slow down. I was driving around 55 mph. After I tapped the brakes the front end began to shake. I guess this is known as the Death Wobble. It was extremely scary. Never have had anything like this before. If Ford knows about this why have they not done anything? Thanks

Only had my truck for 6 months, my suspension is worn out causing a known issue known as death wobble. I was driving at 65mph with my family and extreme shaking occurred. Yes by a Ford dealership. Yes the truck and the area was inspected and confirmed to needing replaced parts. No warning lamps/lights appeared due to it being mechanical, I went to another shop after i already took it in to Ford, and they told me a missing component that may be the leading issue of it was deleted never there to begin with when i bought the vehicle at the ford dealership. •Truck details (2019 F-250 XLT 4x4, 88k miles) •Death wobble at highway speeds •Firestone confirmed factory stabilizer was deleted •DEF system not working •Worn tie rods, drag link •Low oil at purchase (indicating no inspection) •Dealer is refusing to help •Ford Corporate says there’s no active program — but i know TSB 19-2274 and CSP 20N04 exist

See attached document for complaint.

My 2019 F250 Super Duty has severe shaking in the front end also known as the death wobble I read that Ford put out a release for any 2017 to 2019 under the customer satisfaction guarantee that my truck should be repaired but when I type in the VIN it does not say that I qualify for that repair even though I have the exact year and the exact problems associated with the recall can somebody explain to me why my truck is not covered for these fixes?

Death Wobble At 70 MPH When Driving Over Rumble Strip In The Middle Of The Road. Slowed Down To Almost 15 MPH To Stop The Excessive Violent Shaking.

I was driving on a 1200 mile trip with my 39ft camper. I came off an overpass bridge and my truck felt like both front tires had popped. My steering wheel was bouncing like crazy and luckily I was able to get the vehicle to a stop and off the road. My 2 children and fiancé were also in the car and were lucky not to be killed. After stopping I looked over the truck and trailer and saw nothing wrong. We started to look up the death wobble on this model and it appears many people have also reported it. This truck only has 44k miles on it. I reported it to ford and they have made it clear that they will not be doing anything, other than allowing my extended service plan to replace the same parts if they find an issue. After talking with ford, I was driving my truck again without the trailer and the same thing happened. Luckily I was able to gain control of the truck again. The first instance I was going approximately 70 mph and the second I was around 60 mph. I am now afraid to drive this vehicle with my family and unfortunately I’m still 1000 miles from home.

On [XXX] I was driving to North Carolina pulling a 43 foot fifth wheel camper when I hit a bump driving at 65 MPH when I hit a bump and experienced the notorious Ford Death Wobble. The whole truck & steering started to shake violently I had to almost come to complete stop on interstate to get truck to stop shaking & to get truck under control I do know in fact that Ford has had issues with this problem & I am concerned why Ford has not recalled their trucks for this problem. My wife also drives this truck pulling the same camper. I am concerned this will happen again when she is driving. This problem almost caused a wreck from traffic behind me having to stop suddenly.

I experienced a death wobble at 60mph this was a recall that i had done. I have not contacted the dealer about this yet. The mileage is about 47000

Vehicle experiences death wobble in the front suspension system. While driving, vehicle suddenly shakes violently and is difficult to control. Vehicle was repaired at an authorized Ford dealership in 2021 but has since experienced the same dangerous affects of death wobble. Vehicle was inspected by the authorized Ford dealership prior to repair who confirmed the presence of death wobble. There were no warning signs prior to the vehicle experiencing death wobble before repair. There have been no warning signs after repair since death wobble has recurred.

Speed wobble is pulling the vehicle into on coming traffic. Issue has been diagnosed by the ford dealership as bad tires in the past. Replaced tires and 20,000 miles later the problem comes back.

After hitting a small bump on the highway my steering violently vibrated and i had to pull to the side of the interstate over a bridge because I though I had a tire blow out. I almost got rear-ended due to slowing down form 70mph to a safe enough speed to pull over. After inspecting the tires I couldn't see anything wrong. The drove fine until i hit a similar bump on the way back. Once the vibration starts, it's extremely hard to maintain control of the vehicle. 2019 Ford F250 17,000 miles

Experience the death Wobble, violently shaking, causing very hard to control vehicle.

We were going speeds of 65-70mph and hit a bump and the sheeting wheel started to violent shake and the tires felt like they were going to come off. This has happened 3 times now since we bought the truck last December. After some research, this is known in the ford community as the death wobble.

Had Death Wobble incident approximately 45 mph locked up breaks, came to slow roll, drove out of condition. ford replaced steering stabilizer very scary with family in vehicle luckily no trailer attached. ford needs to fix before death occurs. the caster bushing to fix can't cost anymore than the stabilizer replaced and definitely less costly than a life. This doesn't give impression of not caring about safety it confirms it ! Not new issue

When traveling this past weekend at 60-65mph, after crossing a small bump in the road, my truck lost control and vibrated into the oncoming lane by more than 50%. My truck continued left while I held the steering wheel to the right. This is not the first time this has happened, but always happens when traveling at highway speeds. This time, however, was the most drastic and scariest loss of control we have experienced. At the same time, I was hauling our horses which made for an even more dangerous situation. It was very nerve-wracking. Thankfully, no one was in the oncoming lane in that spot at that moment. I have experienced this loss of control multiple times after hitting small bumps/ripples in the road, some bumps so small that you can't see them...only feel them when the truck reacts. I spoke with an agent (Diane) at Ford and have an appointment with Byrd Kultgen Ford next Tuesday. The vehicle has not be inspected at this time. There have been no warning lamps/messages with this issue. This problem only presents itself at highway speeds (above 50mph) which I only drive one weekend per month...otherwise, I stay local at regular city speeds (30-50). This problem was first noticed about year ago, but I wasn't sure at the time if it was the road or the truck. As the months have passed, along with how bad we experienced it this past weekend and googling information about others with this same issue, it is definitely the truck.

Driving around a light curve on a highway at posted limit of 60mph, had a severe death wobble. It did it again around a second curve as I was attempting to slow down.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving over a pothole, the vehicle started shaking, and the steering wheel was uncontrollable. The contact stated that after it rained, the driver's side and passenger's side doors were filled with water. Additionally, the interior lights failed to turn on as needed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Mileage: 98,000

Truck was purchased used in Sept of 2023. Shortly after the truck started suffering from Death Wobble. All steering tie rod ends (all 4), track bar shocks and steering stabilizer were replaced. Tires were rotated Ball joints were checked and were good. Truck still has death wobble. I'm sure this is why the truck was traded. Ford has declined to repair under tsb 18 2268 due to build date.

Driving at highway speed 65-70 mph, I drove across a rough patch of road. This rough patch was along a curve in the road. The truck from end violently vibrated, and it felt that I didn't have steers control of the vehicle. I lightly tapped the brakes and the vehicle began slowing down, while the truck drifted into the adjacent lane. The vibration continued until my speed dropped to approximately 35mph. It's was like the truck reached unstable resonate frequency. Initially, the vibration was some but grew violently quickly, and seem to continue to grow violently until I slowed the vehicle down. It wasn't a safe condition for me or other cars around me. Much less for the people in the truck who were shocked with fear. I'm traveling across country with an RV, I'm just lucky that the RV wasn't in tow at the time of the violent wobble. For what I read online, ford was aware of this hazard, and never shared this with me or the original owner. That is unacceptable.

When driving down the highway 60 mph hit a rough patch on the highway. It caused the truck to start shimming where it felt like it was going to fall apart now known to us as the death wobble. The driver was with some difficulty to control the vehicle reduce the speed and pull off to the side of the road.

I was driving at 60mph when the truck started shaking so bad I had to come to a complete stop. I could barley steer the truck when this was happening.

Ford Death Wobble Complaint We experienced the Ford - F250 'death wobble' twice while driving on the highway at speed around 75 mph. The first time it happened on 07/05/2024 and the second incident happened on 07/13/2024. In both cases we were on the highway driving around 73-75 mph, straight ahead, without any turns. The road was dry and there were no other driving issues. All of a sudden, the truck steering wheel started shaking violently and the whole truck went into uncontrollable vibrations, during which the truck was impossible to steer. The first time the vibrations lasted about 20-30 seconds, the second time was longer, around 40-50 seconds. We were at an incredible risk of an accident and death. I am a very experienced driver. We were extremely lucky that the traffic was light and I managed to let go of the gas, let the truck reduce the speed slowly and then slightly tapped on the break until complete stop. Had we had heavier traffic, turns on the road, or a more unexperienced driver, this could have led to a fatal accident. The truck in 2019 and has around 118K miles. The tires are in excellent condition and the tire pressure was correct. The problem is well known and widely discussed and reported as the ‘Ford Death Wobble.’ There were not any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the occurrence. There is no active recall for this, although is it a life-threatening issue.

Front end uncontroable wobble from the front end. causing swearving and lane departure. causes uncontroable driving until under 30 MPH.

Steering system due to "death wobble".

Was traveling down freeway at 70 mph when truck hit a bump and got severe death wobble from the front end. Brought truck into ford dealer and determined steering wheel dampener was bad and replaced under warranty which Ford extended due to known issue. No warning lamps or prior issue before that day. Almost crashed due to known issue with child in truck.

Truck has death wobble in front suspension. Almost bad wreck on interstate.

I was travelling at approximately 70 MPH and hit a small bump on the interstate. The steering started to wobble violently, resulting in the need to stop on the side of the interstate to correct the wobble. This occurred a few time prior, but the wobble resolved after 1 - 2 seconds.

I Have had 3 incident to my truck where it starting violently shaking and i could not steer the truck> I had heard this is known as the death wobble and that everyone knows about it and yet there is still no reacall?? I had it fixed under warrenty at 19,545 miles. Now it is out of warrenlty as of Dec 8th 2023 and I had two incident on Dec 10th ( 2 days after warrently expired) I believe I have around 47,000 miles on it now. I also paid for and extended warrentty and they said they dont know if it will cover it. This is very scary as I had 4 kids in my car taking my son to his birthday party and we all thought we were going to die. We were in the fast lane and the car behind us was honking and I could not even steer the truck. There are all kinds of videos on the internet showing that this is a known issue with 2019 fords and yet there are no recalls. So i guess if we die next time it will be just " oh well. there is nothing to be done. I am scared to death to ever drive this truck again. Please do something about the death wobble.

Over the past 100 miles my F250 4x4 has nearly lost control because of a violent shaking, or wobbling of the front end. It has happened four (4) times when driving on paved surfaces at approximately 50-55mph; it has happened once while I was braking at approximately 45mph (this would be the 5th time). I immediately slowed down (without hard braking) when the wobbling occurred, but I believe that if I hadn't, the vehicle could have been forced into the opposite lane of travel. The current mileage is 28,859 It is available for inspection I'm taking it into my Ford dealership (for the first time) tomorrow to tell it about the problem, but it was also recommended I report the issue here because of numerous similar complaints. No dash warning lights came on before, during, or after the incidents. Thank you

While traveling on interstate I hit a bump and experienced “death wobble” and was barely able to control steering wheel. Had to slow to 20 mph to get it to stop.

My car has death wobble issues. If I go more than 30-40mph on the highway the car starts shaking violently and uncontrollably and swerves side to side. It is a very scary experience. This has happen multiple times. We have brought to the different shops ans change several components but after a month or so the issue comes back. Until recently I brought to a ford dealer and came to find out about the defective problem on this this type of cars. Unfortunateluly ford doesnt want to pay for the entire repair cost.

I am unsure on what malfunctioned. When driving if we hit a bump in the road or the road is uneasy the truck begins to violently shake to the point we have to completely stop the vehicle. We have had it at numerous shops across the state and no one can tell us what is wrong. They say everything is fine with it. There are no lights on the dash signaling anything is wrong. We consider this a HUGE safety risk not only to ourselves and our kids but other drivers on the road as well. It could cause a major accident if someone was to lose control while shaking. This puts us, our family, and other drivers at risk.

Driving at 50 mph+, I have experienced a violent wobble in the truck that can only be stopped by coming to a complete stop with my truck. this has happened multiple times. I have read up on this and it seems to be called the “death wobble” and can not be fixed. I have had a baby and another small child in the truck with me at one of the occurrences. This wobble causes me to almost lose control over the vehicle. Is there a recall I am unaware of for the suspension and steering? I have read that customers have tried to fix the issues and have not been able to. My family uses this truck often as we don’t have another option at the moment. Another worry is that this wobble has damaged other components of the truck that I am unaware of. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Any sudden jolt to the front passenger side wheel causes the truck to do the death wobble. It happened 3 times yesterday (12/31/23) within a 1 hour time frame. The only way to stop it is to let the truck gradually come to a stop and then start back again. The whole truck jumps and the steering wheels shakes uncontrollably.

I have now experienced the Ford Death Wobble two different times driving at high rates of speed 70-75mph that has almost caused serious accidents on state i75 and I10 in Florida. My family was in the truck and I was able to save it from hitting the guard rail.

Steering and suspension were compromised at highway speeds upon hitting a mild change in surface (such as a bridge expansion joint). The front axle bounces and shakes violently and steering is extremely difficult. Reducing speed (below highway speed while on a highway in traffic) eventually ends the violent shaking and bouncing. This problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center nor has it been inspected by others. There were also no warning lamps or messages.

“Death wobble” vehicle was at highway speed when hit a bump and cause the vehicle to shake violently, causing unsafe driving conditions with lack of control.

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING SO HARD THAT I HAD DIFFICULTY HOLDING ONTO IT. THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND I ALMOST WENT INTO THE GUARD RAIL BEFORE I COULD SLOW DOWN TO A STOP AND BRING THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL. I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION AND LOOKED AT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING BROKEN. ON THE WAY BACK HOME, THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND I HAD TO STOP AGAIN TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP SHAKING - WHICH WAS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC I WAS IN. THERE WAS NO WARNING EITHER TIME THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW!

I experienced the death wooble on my 2019 f250 took truck to ford dealership and had the steering dampner replaced as this what ford says causes the problem but a week after it was supposed to corrected i was driving on the interstate and hit a ruff spot in the pavement and experienced the death wooble again . This was on11/04/2023 . So the part ford says should correct the wooble didnt fix it. Still have death wooble .

Driving on the highway at speeds above 60 mph and hitting seams or bumps in the road, the front suspension starts to violently shake. It is random when it happens. The shaking causes the whole truck and steering wheel to shake uncontrollably. The only way to stop the shaking is to slow to below 40 mph. This happens at random places and times. There is no warning and the entire truck and steering wheel is fully involved in violent shaking within 3 seconds.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the front end shook violently, and the contact lost control of the steering wheel. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. After decelerating to 25 MPH, the vibration ceased. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the tires were replaced, and an alignment was completed. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

I was driving on US 59 while pulling a 30' Airstream Travel trailer with my 2019 F250 truck when the steering system started violently shacking preventing from controlling the vehicle. The truck and trailer veered across the center line before I could regain control. I was traveling 65 mph at the time. In May 2023, I was notified by Ford that the warranty for the steering damper had been extended as there have issues with steering system vibrating excessively preventing control of the vehicle. This need to be change to an immediate safety recall.

I was driving on I-215E in Las Vegas on October 16, 2023 at approximately 5:15pm, and I hit a bump in the road around 1 mile west of the I-15 interchange. I was moving at approximately 65 MPH and my truck started violently shaking. I was forced to come to a nearly complete stop in rush hour traffic to stop the shaking and ultimately had to pull over to the shoulder to take a pause before being able to continue my commute. Fortunately, I was not towing my boat, but I feel that this could have been a deadly accident if I was towing. This is a major problem.

I was exiting off interstate when my truck suddenly and violently started shaking out of control. I thought i had a blowout at first but after i slowed down i recain control over truck and it smooth back out. This has happen a few times in the past but not as extreme as this time. I ould have lost control and wrecked if i hadn't have been already exiting off interstated. This happen on 10_14_23

Death wobble has occurred multiple times. First in Dec 2021, truck had 15k miles. Was driving down the road and entire truck began to violently shake, was hard to keep the truck on the road without wrecking and hitting someone head on. Took to dealership and they replaced the steering stabilizer. Happened again Jan 2023 with 23k miles. Took it to dealership and they changed part again. Then in April 2023 it happened with 26k miles. Once again they changed the steering stabilizer. The most recent was last week Oct 2023 with 33k miles, the truck began to have the death wobble none stop on my way home. It was so bad that I had to pull over numerous times. The 1st time it happened, it kept pulling and shaking so bad that a car had to run off the road to avoid me hitting them head on. I could not drive above 40mph the rest of the way home without it occurring over and over. After arguing about getting the problem fixed since it was no longer under original warranty, they still have my truck a week later. So far they say they have changed the steering stabilizer again, the steering stabilizer bar, and the track bar. Right before they closed they sent a message saying it was ready to go, but I wasn't able to pick it up in time. This is a horrific experience when you are traveling at highway speeds and this occurs. It is the most violent shaking I have ever experienced. Feels like the wheels are going to fall off and you cannot get it to stop until the speed drops below 40mph. That creates another huge risk if you are in heavy traffic on the interstate and you have to slow down to 30mph below the speed limit and figure out how to get to the side of the road without causing an accident with a vehicle that you cannot control the steering in. When it happens I get wheel decent control fault, hill start assist warning, antisocial brake system fault, and roll stability control fault.

Massive steering wobble at interstate speed. Very dangerous. Only 29000 miles on vehicle

I was driving by myself with my two small dogs on the interstate at approximately 70 mph when I ran over uneven pavement. Without any warning my truck began to shake so violently the dogs became terrified and hid under the seats and I briefly lost control of the vehicle. I was certain I had blown a tire. I decelerated quickly and looked for an opportunity to move out of traffic and pull over. I am incredibly blessed that I did not cause nor was injured in an accident. My truck was completely out of control for approximately 90 seconds. As i decelerated the truck regained drivability and the violent shaking dissipated. I am unsure which actual components may have failed, but my vehicle is available for inspection at any time. My safety, that of many others traveling on I-95, and the safety of my two dogs were put at serious risk of bodily harm or fatality at the complete and total loss of control of the vehicle. The problem has not been reproduced because I had no idea what had caused it. In August of 2023 my vehicle was inspected at a Ford dealership in Brainerd, MN and the only issue that was discovered was a mildly leaking rear pinion seal but the rear differential fluid was still full. The real differential fluid was checked again just prior to Labor Day weekend at Jiffy lube in Aiken, SC and also found to be full. The vehicle has been inspected by a Ford dealership in August, 2023 but not by the original manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. Absolutely zero warnings were ever issued by the Ford onboard computer. This is particularly disturbing as my onboard computer lets me know when even one tire pressure is off. There was zero symptoms of the problem prior to failure other than a typical "rough" Ford ride, which was explained to me when I purchased the vehicle, for cash, in Virginia. I have since researched this phenomenon, dubbed "death wobble" and am furious that Ford currently has knowledge of this and yet refuses to act on it.

At less than 10,000 miles, on a curve, my truck began shacking uncontrollably, putting me in to oncoming traffic and into a ditch. I was able to control it enough and an accident didn’t occur. I contacted my salesman and he said it was known as the death wobble. He told me to bring it in. I took it in and they explained that they can put a steering damper on it, but it wouldn’t fix the problem and they needed to replace several parts. I said it’s under warranty so do it. They explained it wouldn’t be covered and the only thing Ford would pay for would be the dampener. I told them to do it. At app. 32,000 miles it has happened again. I feel that Ford is not taking responsibility and that it could cost my life, as well as others.

Driving and hit bump in road. At that time the front-end felt like it was coming out from under the truck. Almost caused a wreak but was able to stop. Found no issues but did it again when next bump was hit. WS told it is a know issue with what is called the death wobble. How are you allowed to sell a truck with a death wobble

Hit bump,death wobble.hard to control truck,would not stop until came to complete stop 12650 miles on truck, hard to get out of traffic. Drove rest of trip a 45 mph won't drive truck to scary,taking to dealer for checkout,no warning

Experienced the death wobble on the freeway. I was forced to pull over on the shoulder of the freeway. I thought I had a blow out. It scared the heck out of me. Once I reentered the freeway the wobble was gone. Now when I hit rough spots on the road the front end vibrates like it is loose.

On June 5. 2023, My family was on the way to Dallas. In Huntsville, TX, we were driving approximately 68MPH when we hit an small divet in the roadway. The truck then began to shake violently and would not cease until we pulled off the highway to a complete stop. After checking the truck over, no apparent damage had caused the occurence. I had heard previously about a "Death Wobble" and after some online research, determined this is what had occured. We immediately called our local Ford (Gullo Ford in Conroe, TX) dealership to find that there were no "active recalls" but that if it was determined that a part was causing this, they might repair it after a $140 diagnostic fee. we scheduled an appointment and continued on our trip hoping the occurence would not happen again. In the matter of less than an hour, it occured 4 more times and I deteremined that for my safety and my families safety that we would find a local dealership and try to fins another vehicle to complete our trip. I personally did not feel safe driving the vehicle anymore until the problem was fixed. Luckily, the Ford Dealer in Corsicanna ( Brinson Ford) had heard of the issue and was able to put a band-aid fix (free of charge) on the issue but advised it could happen again. I have video of somoe of the occurences that my wife videoed from the back seat. I'm amazed that Ford doesn't have to officially ackowledge this as a safety recall and will be following up with them as they put me, my wife, and my 10 month old baby in danger multiple times. I now am nervous to even drive my vehicle until I have a 3rd party check over the "repair" and determine it is safe to drive. From what i have heard, the part they replaced is just a temporary fix and doesn't truly address the issue at hand. Some mechanics advise re-doing multile suspension and steering components costing upwards of 5k.

On 6/4/23 I was on SR 2 in Erie county ,Ohio. The speed limit was 70 mph and my cruise control was set at 70 mph & traffic was fairly heavy. I passed over an expansion joint and my steering wheel started shaking violently back and forth and the vehicle was nearly uncontrollable. The other vehicles near me fortunately saw I was having trouble and luckily they were able to steer clear of me. The only way I got it to quit was to veer to the shoulder, break hard and bring it to a complete stop. After gaining my composure I cautiously pulled back on highway with my warning lights on and did 40 mph to the next exit. Slowly made my way back home not knowing if it was going to reoccur. It was amazing that I or anyone near me wasn’t injured or killed! If my wife would have been driving there is no way she would have been able to control it.

Death wobble uncontrollable shaking any time I hit a pot hole or some major bump have paid over $2500.00 this far buy new tire rods, front tires due to wear, etc attempting to fix the problem.

Traveling at between 65 and 70 miles an hour I hit a small bump in the road and the front suspension and steering wheel started to violently shake. Pulling me all over the road and almost off the road. Fortunately I was able to avoid other drivers. And keep it out of the ditch. I am now terrified to drive my truck. After speaking with the dealer they will repair. Using new parts identical to the ones that failed. With no guarantee that it would not happen again in the future. I feel my truck is completely unsafe to drive. Especially when there's zero warning that this could happen again in the future. Luckily no one was hurt and I avoided barely hitting other cars on the highway.

Vehicle shakes very bad once I go over 65 MPH. The dealer has serviced this issue twice with no resolve. During some instances, I am required to slow down and pull to the side of the highway placing myself and family endanger.

We have the Ford "death wobble"—have had a few scary incidents on the freeway at speeds 50 or above.

When I was traveling down the road when hitting a bump my steering started rattling uncontrollably. It felt as if my truck was going to steer off and hit the side wall. My safety was put at risk and others not knowing where my vehicle was going to go on the road. This is not just a problem with my vehicle either. Thousands and thousands of forums online ford customer have experienced the same problem time and time again since 2005. Brand new $90k truck rolling off the lot with ford knowing this is a problem. I just bought this truck a week ago. I should not be spending $48k on a vehicle and already need to dump money into it when this is purely a manufacture problem. There is absolutely no warning that this problem is going to happen either. It can happen anytime any day. If you aren’t holding on tight enough you may just lose control. So you better be ready at all times when driving this vehicle.

When traveling on the highway going 65 mph hit an uneven spot on highway and the truck started shaking vigorously and had to hold on tight and slow down in the middle of the highway. No safety lights came on. I have an appointment at a dealer to look at it. A goggle search on the problem names it as DEATH WOBBLE

Driving on freeway at approx 55mph when sudden severe, violent shaking and almost uncontrollable steering began. I did not brake, but took my foot off the accelerator and held tightly to steering wheel which listed to the left. Incident lasted approximately 10 seconds and then returned to a normal drive.

When traveling on the highway at about 60-65 mph and hit a bump. The front end started to shake violently. I believe this is know as the F250 death wobble. I was able to slow down and it stopped, but almost went into the Jersey barrier. I went to the Ford dealer I bought the truck from and they have ordered parts to fix this issue. (Hopefully). The mileage on the Truck is 20,500. This occurred on 3/21/23. There were no warning lights or other symptoms before this incident.

During a daily regular drive, the steering wheel was wobbling and driver was unable to take control over the vehicle, the vehicle took a longer than expected time to be stopped and almost cause an accident. Vehicle was taken to dealer service, nothing was found.

Death Wobble. At approximately 20,000 miles it began to experience the 'death wobble' routinely. An internet search uncovered the problem. The vehicle now has 20,400 miles on it and routinely goes into the wobble on the highway - (3 times on 04MAR23 driving from Orange County, CA to Barstow, CA.) The wobble does not stop until you pull over and come to a complete stop.

FORD “Death Wobble” on the Super Duty trucks. The damper. When traveling over 60+ mph and the truck hits a bump/groove the truck wobbles and the steering is hard to control. The truck has to come to a slower rate or a complete stop for it to stop wobbling. It could cause an accident with other vehicles if you aren’t experienced. It is at a dealership to get fixed. This is an ongoing problem with Ford Super Duties and Ford is not standing behind their product. I do not feel like this is a customers responsibility. No warning was given. It is very dangerous.

On 11/26/22 while driving on the interstate at approx 65-70 mph, my left front tire hit a bump in the road. This caused my truck to violently shake side to side with the front axle. The shaking was so extreme that i thought i was in an accident and could barely hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking only stopped when I reduced speed to about 5 mph. I was almost rearended by a vehicle behind me. Then again on Sunday 1/22/23 it happened again while traveling on the interstate at the same speeds. I notified my dealer (Bozard Ford) and they inspected it and said there was an extended warranty and they replaced a steering part. I now see that this "Death Wobble" is an issue for many. I'm glad I was not killed due to this uncorrected flaw by Ford. No warning lights in these two incidents.

When going over 60 and hit a bump or pot hole or ripples I’m the rode and ect, the tires and steering wheels start shake oh i controllable have to slow down immediately to under 30 miles per hour. This happens when on the highway or any road and Safety is at risk because you can not control the steering during this time and those you from lane to lane and even worse if having a trailer. Also safety at risk cause have to slow down right then and there and hope no cars are around you : You lose all control of steering when this happens / Looking in line it is know issue with Ford f250 and was a recall but I don’t see a recall on my truck. It shows it is called death wobble. I paid more for this truck than any vehicle I have had and scared to drive it and really scared of o have my family and grandkids in the truck with me. Not working lights are anything come in it just happens really fast .

At speeds above 50 mph when you go over uneven road surfaces there is tremendous shaking with the steering to the point that almost leads to uncontrollable steering. The only way to control is to brake to reduce speed. Internet searches for this condition describe it as F series wobble.

I experienced the ford "death wobble" I had $1200 worth of repairs done on steering and suspension parts. 10,000 miles and 7 months later I am experiencing the same problems again. This is a real safety concern because you loose all control of the vehicle at speeds over 50 miles per hour. How long before this problem kills someone? The first time I experienced this problem the vehicle dragged me accross 3 lanes of traffic at 70 mph.

I was driving at highway speeds (70 mph) with my wife and mother in law as passengers in San Antonio TX on Saturday, 11 Feb 2023. The highway was 4-5 lanes wide in moderate traffic. Pavement was relatively smooth since that portion of the highway was recently repaved in the past year. We crossed a barely noticeable ripple in the pavement when the steering began to shake violently. There was a tractor trailer truck in the lane to my right and traffic passing me in the lane to my left. I could not control the steering due to the violent shaking while gripping the steering wheel with both hands. I started braking immediately and tried to keep the truck in my lane but the truck crossed into the left lane approaching the median. Traffic behind me was braking hard and crossing lanes to avoid crashing with me. I was able to get the truck stopped next to the median. Had there been a vehicle to my left at the time it would have been impossible to avoid a collision. This incident put our lives at risk and I do not feel safe leaving my driveway in my truck. The truck has barely 30K miles and has been maintained by the dealer. There were no warnings or indications prior to the violent shaking. I will be taking the truck to the dealer asap for inspection.

We were driving on the interstate going about 70 mph and hit a small bump in the road and the truck started to shake uncontrollably and felt like the truck was coming apart. My husband was able to get it to the shoulder and stopped. We've had the truck to Ford Motor Co. and they claim they've fixed the problem by replacing the steering dampener. There seems to be a bigger issue with the F-250 than this. This is a severe safety issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, after the vehicle drove over a bump or an imperfection in the roadway, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact had taken the vehicle to dealer where it was diagnosed with a steering damper linkage failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

While driving at freeway speeds, my vehicle’s front end and steering wheel started to vibrate and shake violently (steering oscillation). I had to slow down immediately and pull to the side of the road to avoid being involved in a collision. This continues to occur on a regular basis and I feel that this vehicle has an engineering flaw and a premature failure in the vehicle’s steering and suspension components. I believe this vehicle is unsafe to be driven on the road, because this issue may lead to a traffic collision which could result in serious injury or death.

FRONT END WOBBLES SERVERLY AFTER HITTING POTHOLES OR WAFFLED PAVEMENT! I have to almost stop the the truck under control and have almost been rear ended. I understand there is a class action lawsuit at this time. Took it to the local dealer and they quoted what the repair would cost but never let me know this was an issue with may of these truck, found out by searching on U-Tube.

My vehicle has the death wobble and it is getting worse. When the vehicle is operating over 50mlh and hits a bump, it can begin to shake violently and will not stop until I slow down to 25-30th. This is difficult on trips with my camper and on mountains on interstate highways.

I was driving approximately 60 mph. There were several small bumps in the road and the Truck went into a Very Violent Shake and Wobble. This is commonly known as the FORD DEATH WOBBLE... Very Scary and Dangerous. The Vehicle was extremely hard to control. Luckily the service advisor at Coggin Ford had warned me about this possible condition. I was told if this wobble ever happened to let immediately back off the accelerator and not Touch the Brakes?? I did exactly as he said and was able to get the truck into the Emergency Lane where I slowed down in a slow and dangerous way. I took the Truck to Coggin Ford. The truck has only 21000 miles. They claim it just needs an alignment and a steering Dampener which was already changed by Ford at 2500 miles? The service department told me that the parts are unavailable but the think it needs an alignment? The alignment was fine until the Death Wobble?? This is a dangerous condition that could have killed myself, my daughter or other drivers... Please let me know what the NHTSA is doing to prevent this from causing accidents and let me know what my options are... Thank you, Philip Monson 904-487-8936

Violent uncontrollable steer wheel shaking at high way speeds 65-75 MPH. Shaking is unforeseen happens randomly and suddenly without warning. I’m unable to steer the truck until I come to a complete stop. So how about you guys do your job before people get killed not after. I know there are hundreds of other complaints like this on here. It’s been to the dealer ship twice. once before the issue happened because of unusual noises when steering and once after the issue both times they said everything was normal.

The vehicle begins shaking violently on uneven roads at speeds of 55mph. Aggressive braking to reduce speed is the only way to stop it. The ford dealer admits this is the “death wobble”

The F250 will violently shake in an uncontrollable and unpredictable manner on occasion. It typically happens at speeds over 40 mph when encountering any variation from perfectly flat pavement. Ford has an extended warranty to cover the engineering and design failure of some portion of the steering and suspension system; however, the part is backordered and unavailable to make the covered repair. The vehicle is available to be inspected. The engineering and design flaw causes the vehicle to become uncontrollable while trying to come to a stop endangering the occupants as well as anyone or property in the path. The problem was confirmed by a ford dealer and was stated “it is a known issue with the vehicle” It has not been examined by anyone other than the ford dealership. There were no warning signs from the vehicle; however, an internet search revealed numerous incidents that sound identical. Ford was contacted multiple times, they said they would contact me in reference to a solution 3 times. They never did contact me, when I was able to inquire I was met with an indifferent attitude about my safety and others safety.

When at speeds of 50 or more or when driving on a bumpy road we experience extensive steering wobble to the point that the truck is thrown into another lane.

My complaint is commonly know as the “DEATH WOBBLE”. This has been going on with Ford trucks since at least 1973. I have personal experience. The problem is while driving on the highway, if you hit just a small pothole, the truck begins to shake violently and will not stop until you slam on the brakes and slow considerably. This is extremely dangerous on the highway with the possibility of loosing control. It’s bad, and Ford has known about this for at least 50 years.

When hit a bump a in the road the front end goes into the so-called Death Wobble. It is a really bad shaking of the front end like your wheels are going to come off. Had to slow down really fast and move to the side of the road. What causes this and how can it be fixed so myself or someone else if injured or killed.

My truck start shaking after going over bumps or grooves in the road. To stop the shaking, I had to quickly slow down and than stop completely.

The steering damper is bad and has caused a death wobble. Almost got into an accident on the freeway because the vehicle could not be controlled and my kids and wife where in the vehicle. Took it to the dealership and they could not do anything since there is a national back order for the parts. We are on vacation and they told me to drive home 13 hours with my family in the truck. Called Ford and they have not lifted a finger to help out or do anything to get this resolved. They want me to put my family in this death trap of a vehicle and drive 13 hours with my kids in the car.

“Death wobble” violent shaking going 50+ miles per hour.

The front end of the truck will VIOLENTLY shake (death wobble) when it hits a bump in the road. The front end will also jump to the left or right, depending on which way your turning, when you hit a bump (bump steer).

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact received notification of Customer Satisfaction Program: 20N04 (Steering Linkage Damper Extended Coverage) however, the part to do the repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was shaking. The contact had to decelerate to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the steering damper needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Mileage: 110,000

while driving on the freeways at freeway speeds after hitting road expansion joints the trucks steering and front end will violently shake to the point of loosing control

While driving 75 mph on an interstate in Little Rock, Arkansas, the truck began to violently shake after hitting a bump and steering became difficult I had to quickly maneuver to the shoulder. Once I started back on the road, the shaking had stopped. Online, thus incident is often referred to as a "death wobble."

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 40 - 60 MPH, the contact experienced the death wobble. The contact used an excessive amount of force to maintain control of the vehicle. The contact occasionally slowed down or stopped the vehicle to and reduced the speed to regain control of vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred approximately 3 times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who related the failure with NHTSA ID Number: 10174720 (Steering) regarding the steering linkage; however, the vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and attempted to expedite the part to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 36,600.

Mileage: 36,000

When driving vehicle around 60 to 65 mph on interstate, when you hit a bump it will begin to shake violently and pull to one side. Took vehicle to dealership. They replaced numerous parts, but steering linkage arm, which Ford says it actual problem, is back ordered and could be a year before it is available. I was driving vehicle on the interstate after picking it up from the dealership and it did exactly the same thing. It does not seem safe to drive vehicle, but I do not have another truck to drive.

When driving the truck between 60 and 70 MPH and hitting a rough spot in the road (pothole, broken concrete section) with the drive side tire the steering wheel and entire front of the truck will shake violently. This will continue until speed is reduced below 40 MPH. In traffic slowing down to have the shaking stop is difficult and cause for a safety concern. If traveling on a two lane highway with other vehicles in the right lane it is very difficult to exit in order to slow down.

During the operation of the vehicle on a highway over 55 mph, after riding over a pothole on the road, the vehicle ceased to have steering. For 3 seconds the vehicle drifted in the right lane into another vehicle. After overcorrecting, the vehicle engaged the steering swerving to the left creating great instability by turning towards another vehicle. In this circumstance, an accident was avoided by a quick response and an attentative, however, we cannot drive the vehicle over 50mph otherwise luck may not be with us. The problem was previously identified by the local Fairfax dealership and the mechanic identified the Steering Stabilizer as problematic. A replacement was done, but the problem reoccurred. The 2nd Steering Stabilizer was installed at cost to us and initially the problem went away. Within a year, the problem has reoccurred creating the most dangerous incident so far. This problem is well known within the Ford enthusiast community noted in the link below: https://www.google.com/search?q=ford+f250+stblizer+problems&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS917US917&oq=ford+f250+stblizer+problems&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l3j0i390l3.9863j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

F250 Death Wobble, driving on the fwy anything above 55 mph and I hit a bump or any typ eof transition, my truck shakes and wobbles extremely dangerously. Causing me to often have to stop on FWY to fix.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at 50-55 MPH, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. The VIN was unavailable.

My 2019 super duty is only 3.5 years old with 35K miles on it. It is well taken care of and maintained accordingly at the dealership for its maintenance schedule. Recently I’ve been experiencing what others have reported for a total of 7 times now, each time over the speed of 65 MPH. It’s referred to as the “death wobble” on the front end. The whole vehicle shakes violently and you have to slow to a stop and pull over to make it stop. Each time I was on the freeway and once in the Rockies in Colorado and nearly wrecked there. Each time this occurs I’ve come Close to causing several vehicle accidents and being in law enforcement for over 22 years most of not all accidents are preventable but this is not. I’ve also learned I’m not the only owner experiencing the same issue and that Ford is aware of the problems. I also had passengers inside my vehicle.

Driving down highway at Tx highway speed limit, going over a short bridge and over an imperfect road on 4 occasions, truck went into serious jerking & shaking and became uncontrollable when pressed brakes and trick departed and almost off road and I had almost no control of vehicle. . DEATH WOBBLE every time I hit a bump! At every speed. Can’t hardly hold onto steering wheel and everything is shaking and no matter what speed I travel this continues to happen! This is not that quick little shimmy - this is a full on jerking and vehicle is going all over the road and will not stop shaking and jerking. Hitting the brakes magnifies the death wobble. When death wobble starts, this vehicle is no longer under my control- I barely missed hitting the side of that culvert bridge! Then the pickup shaking and unable to control it went into the other lane. despite deceleration to 20 mph the pickup continues to shake and jerk violently and veers off the road. Ford denied that this occurs and when I bought this pickup (used) they laughed at me and said it’s nothing. This is dangerous and now how do I get home with the babies safely?! I have almost had 3 accidents during this 40 minute trip due to this horrendous death wobble. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1557613-death-wobble-tsb-info-requested.html https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10165703-0001.pdf https://thelemonfirm.com/2019/12/13/be-afraid-be-very-afraid-of-the-ford-super-duty-death-wobble/ https://www.fordtruckzone.com/threads/ford-death-wobble.674704/ https://fordauthority.com/2019/08/new-lawsuit-alleges-ford-super-duty-f-250-f-350-death-wobble/amp/

While driving at freeway speeds, hitting a pothole or other bump, vehicle wobbles uncontrollably in the front end. Vehicle must reduce speed quickly to stop the wobble. I have taken this vehicle into Ford Service twice. The first time they said they fixed the problem by replacing the strut and steering damper. Problem occurred less frequently but continues to occur. I took it in a second time but they could not find a problem. They stated they tried to replicate the problem, but my onboard camera shows they did not take the vehicle off of the lot to drive it at freeway speeds. Forder service said they are aware of the problem but don't know how to fix it. No warning lights. No messages. Nothing unusual was occurring at the time. Freeway speeds were somewhere around 50-70 mph at the times it happened.

Driving above 50mph and hit a bump the front end begins violently shaking the complete 2019 Ford F250. No warning and has happened now twice in the last 60 days both times coming around a slight corner on a highway. Research found to be called a Death Wobble? https://www.google.com/search?q=violent+shaking+on+2019+f250+after+hitting+bump&rlz=1C1GCEV_en___US853&oq=violent+shaking+on+2019+f250+after+hitting+bump&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160.12852j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

In the past 7 days driving at highway speeds of 70 mph+ and driving on rough patches or hitting bumps we lost control of the steering on 3 different occasions without warning. The 2019 F250 truck started shaking violently and I almost loss total control of the vehicle. I had to slow the vehicle down and immediately turn on the emergency flashers to warn other vehicles behind us that we were having a major vehicle malfunction. Once I slowed down to under 40 mph or stopping, I was able to regain control of the vehicle and the shaking stopped. My wife and I are very lucky we or the other vehicles around us were not involved in a major vehicle accident, when this steering malfunction happen. We were traveling back home from visiting family for Thanksgiving and during one of the incidents we were in heavy traffic in steady rain in the far-left lane and are very fortunate this did not cause an accident with major injuries or deaths. I contacted the Ford dealership where I had this vehicle services on November 16, 2022. I will take them the 2019 F250 truck for them to inspect and hopefully repair the defect/malfunction.

On 10/19/22, driving on an interstate at approximately 70mph. Hit normal bump in the road. Vehicle began shaking so violently that one hand thrown free from steering wheel. I grabbed steering wheel with two hands and a very tight grip to control the vehicle, immediately steered onto shoulder and braked. Extremely violent shaking did not stop until vehicle slowed to approximately 20 mph. I immediately exited and inspected wheels and tires. All tires were fine and inflated to normal, recommended PSI. Wheels had all lug nuts installed to normal specifications (I always have torque wrench, tire inflator, inflation tester, tire plug kit, 700lb impact wrench and many other tools). No contact was made with any other vehicle or object. No visible damage to any part of the vehicle. It felt as though the issue was coming from the front of the vehicle. The section of road was completely straight and well maintained. I initially, I thought I may have blown a tire but the vehicle did not pull to one side or the other. The vehicle was not overloaded in any way even though I did have an ATV that weighs approximately 700lbs in the bed of the truck. The ATV was securely tied down with 4 separate ratchet straps on all four corners. A check of the straps confirmed that the ATV was still completely secure. No adjustment or tightening was required. There were no more issues on this trip. On, 11/23/22, I was driving on a highway at approximately 65mph. I was traveling on a section of a small bridge and going through a curve in the road. As I transitioned from bridge to normal section of paved highway, there was a normal bump. Bump was minimal and ordinary as is typical. Vehicle experienced exact same violent shaking and did not stop unit vehicle came to stop. On this same day, I had another incident on straight section of road that resulted in violent shaking until stopped. This vehicle has experienced same issue three (3) times. This issue MUST be reviewed.

Uncontrollable steering wheel shake at highway speeds after hitting bumps on the road above 45 mph. Above 45 mph the front wheels oscillate making the vehicle uncontrollable until slowing down to under 45 mph.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact slowed down until he was able to stop the vehicle and the vehicle started driving normally. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure persisted while driving and exceeding 45 MPH. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty steering damper. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

The steering linkage damper failed. I experienced complete loss of control of the vehicle on a highway. The vehicle was taken to my local Ford dealership for repair. There were no warning lamps or symptoms.

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON INTERSTATE 74 AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN I DROVE OVER A SMALL IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD SURFACE (AN OVERPASS TRANSITION) THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE OFF OF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED ON THE RETURN TRIP AS WELL HOWEVER, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THIS TIME AS SOON AS IT STARTED FOR FEAR OF THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY THAT WAS RIDING WITH ME. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE AFTER THE TWO INCIDENTS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME ON THE INTERSTATE.

Experiences what I found to be called the death wabble. It’s getting worse

Traveling at 70 miles per hour, hit bump on highway and front end of vehicle began shaking violently, almost lost control. Took foot off gas and applied brakes, vehicle finally stopped shaking. "Death Wobble ". Vehicle has 22,500 miles, tires original, no modifications to vehicle

Took the truck on I-40 and to 75mph hit a crack repair and steering went crazy. Had to full stop to get it to stop. Back on the road and it happened again at 75mph. Got it into dealer and found out that it is a death wobble. Dealer replaced the steering dampener and returned. Dampener was purchased locally. Six weeks later and it happened on US550, after driving over a rough spot. This time it was 70mph. Happened again on US550 a few days later but at 65mph. Truck is in the dealer's shop again, and has been for eight days. They test drove it and got it to duplicate the problem. They have put a new steering dampener on as the last one is bad already. They are lowering the camber (wharever that is) and will test drive it tomorrow again.

2019 F250, 13,000 miles: While traveling along interstate 64 in Virginia, I crossed a bridge in the early morning, pre-dawn hours which caused the truck to "bounce" as it transitioned across the joints that joined the bridge to the pavement. Immediately after crossing, the truck entered into an uncontrollable vibration that caused me to lose positive control to the vehicle. The loss of control lasted until I was able to ride-out the incident alongside the roadway. Believing I had blown a tire, I checked the truck to find that all tires were serviceable. I reentered the roadway, having checked all items I could, only to have the issue reoccur as I crossed another bridge at a reduced speed. I exited the interstate highway and utilized back roads, at reduced speeds (below 50), to reach a safe location to diagnose the issue. Utilizing online research, I located videos of the exact same problem I had experienced. I am beyond shocked this vehicle has not been recalled. As an experienced driver, with over twenty years of law enforcement driving experience, I can assure you it took everything I had to keep the vehicle from crashing. Had I been towing a trailer/camper or had the interstate traffic been heavier, I cannot imagine how a serious accident would not have occurred. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained, possesses a current state inspection sticker, and gave no warning prior to this incident of having any issues related to the loss of control.

Odometer: 45847. Two weeks ago I hit a bump on GA 400 going about 70MPH and the death wobble happened. Had to brake heavily to get it to stop. No warning lights. Knew there was an ESB on the Steering Dampner and took it to the dealer to have that replaced along with the other recalls. The service advisor calls today and wants to charge me $1800 to replace the tie rods. Ford should be taking care of the affected components in relation to the steering dampener not holding up.

Uncontrollably shaking (death wobble). Lost control and had to brake quickly.

This has now happened on two separate occasions. When driving the truck at 55mph and hitting a small bump in the road the truck started shaking violently and would not stop until I slowed down to under 25mph. Upon researching this, consumers are calling this the Ford Wobble of Death. The truck became uncontrollable until I slowed down and the vibration ceased. Fortunately, it was on a straight section of roadway and no other cars were in close proximity at the time. There was little steering control of the truck until I slowed down to make the violent shaking stop. The problem appears to be with the front steering components (drag link, tie rod, tie rod ends, ball joints). Since this occurrence the front of the truck vibrates slightly almost all of the time when driving over 55mph. The Ford dealer replace the steering damper, and this helped the vibration, but it still continues to vibrate. Ford may still have the replaced part (but this part replacement has not fixed the problem.) The Ford dealer has said replacing the steering damper was the first item to change (per Ford Corporate) to fix this problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the Ford dealer. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms of the upcoming problem until the first time is shook violently.

I have a 2019 Ford F250 and I have had the Death Wobble happen to me two times. The first was with my entire family in the truck. Going 60 mph and the truck starts to shake violently and is uncontrollable until you get to 15 mph. The second incident was a week ago just outside of Haskell TX. Speed limit is 70, my son and I were travelling at 72 mph and the truck shook so violently that he was crying and the next thing I knew, we were going east bound in the west bound lane on the shoulder. Extremely close to losing total control of the truck. I do not feel it is safe to drive the truck any longer and I am going to sell it if I can.

From the day I bought the truck in November 2019 it would jerk aggressively when hitting expansion joints. 6 Months ago I asked a dealer to fix it and they did nothing. Then, between 10/8/22 and 10/15/22 we experienced for incidents of the death wobble on E470 and north I-25 in Colorado. Each incident occurred in heavy traffic. The only way to regain control was to pull off the road and completely stop. I currently have the vehicle scheduled to go to a dealer, but need this fixed as it is not safe to drive.

Uncontrollable shaking after hitting uneven pavement from bridge to road. Happened around 65 mph and didn’t stop until I braked to 30mph

I own a 2019 F250 platinum diesel and the last 5 months have been teetering on a very thin line of causing a serious accident. At highway speeds, my truck will start to violently shake after hitting small bumps, bridge entrances/exits, potholes. Pretty much any un-level surface has the potential to cause my truck to violently shake. It’s referred to as Death wobble and for good reason. It feels like all 4 tires had just blown out at highway speeds. It’s very hard to control the vehicle and the only way to fix the issue is to come to a complete stop as fast as you can before you lose control. I have contacted ford several times and they are aware of the issue. There still has been no recall as far as I know. This is completely unacceptable and is risking potential lives. It’s only a matter of time before some is seriously injured or killed from this. Ford put my name down, and I was told in about 2 months they might have the parts to fix it. That just isn’t a good answer. Something needs to be done. Unfortunately I don’t have another vehicle so I am forced to drive this death trap. I’m not sure what to do, and don’t want to get in an accident or end up hurting someone but I have to get to and from work. I refuse to let my family drive in the truck because it’s so unsafe. This doesn’t just happen once in a while. It happens every single time I’m on the freeway which is every day, sometimes multiple times driving to and from work. Im hoping someone can give me some help. I really feel like ford has swept this under the rug and left it’s customers in a terrible position. My truck is one of fords top models and it has under 50k miles. This shouldn’t be happening and they are not too concerned about getting it fixed fast in my opinion. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you.

Extreme steering wheel shaking aka death wobble. Caused my truck to jump across 3 lanes on i75 almost costing me and my wife our life's. Starts after hitting pot hole and becomes so extreme your hands loose contact with steering wheel. This is clearly an A Rank Safety issue that Ford has not addressed. No warning when it happens, all control is lost and up till now we have been lucky. Truck did this at 20000 miles and again at 32000 miles I currently only have 32250 total miles on this vehicle. After contacting my dealer they told me it was out of warranty because it had exceeded 36 months.

Was traveling highway speed, front end of truck started violently shaking causing the vehicle to be uncontrollable and entered the ditch. Steering wheel then was not centered in relation to the tires.

Death wobble severe controlable I reported it to nhtsa they are replacing the damper but dealer says the drive link is wore out too.only has 36,881 mile on it 881 miles over warranty plus two months past 36 months but won't cover under warranty this is wrong the steering drag link is not supposed to wear in that kind of miles should be recalled for safty issue also

Death Wobble: 2019 F250 with 42,450 miles. After hitting a small bump while driving on the highway at normal speed, the front end starts violently shaking and the steering wheel oscillates from side to side. Steering control is completely lost and I have to hang on for dear life until I can ease to a shoulder to slow down and get out of the wobble. This is completely unacceptable and puts everyone's lives at risk who are in the immediate vicinity. I immediately called my local Ford dealer and was told this "happens from time to time." Despite admitting this is a known problem since the mid-2000s and a danger to public safety, Ford refused to fix it, stating my truck is just past the limited factory warranty. I was out of town when this first occurred with no prior warning and it happened 14 additional times within a couple days. Why is Ford not recalling these vehicles for this issue? It is extremely dangerous to those inside and in close proximity to the vehicle. Please make Ford address this before someone gets seriously hurt due to their incompetence and desire not to have to spend the money on a full fledged recall.

At interstate speeds, my vehicle can go into a mode where in the steering wheel jerks violently, along with the front end shaking violently. This has happened twice in 2022, and rough pavement appears to initiate the event and pulling over to the shoulder, coming to a complete stop is the only way to stop the shaking.

There is a known issue with the steering damper which causes the "Death Wobble". On one trip this happened to me three times almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle on the interstate going 70 MPH. I was unable to maintain my lane and swerved into the passing lane. I had to quickly stop the vehicle and pull over causing vehicles behind me to come to an abrupt stop. I had two of my children with me and the vehicle shook so hard that it threw items out of their hands. The dealership inspected the vehicle and stated that the steering damper had no resistance in it and was beyond bad. The replacement part was on indefinite backorder and Ford denied them using an aftermarket part as a replacement. My only option was to wait until the part eventually came in or pay $250 out of pocket to replace it with an aftermarket part. I will not drive the vehicle until the part is replaced. Ford has failed to recognize and fix a major safety issue.

Death wobble at 70 mph jerking both hands 6 to 8 inches back and forth uncontrollable on I-70 in Kansas went from right lane to left lane then left hand shoulder before getting it under control lucky no other cars around everything was blurry from shaking only have 37,000 miles on it thought me and wife were going to die drove only 60mph after that crazy

6 July 2022/47,978 miles- local service shop advised me about 2019 Ford F250 steering stabilizer issue when I inquired about 2 new front tires for my vehicle due to uneven wear and noticeable wobble at 65-70 mph. Advised me I should inquire with Ford, solve issue, then get tires and align accordingly. No reason to get new tires just to ruin them. 12 July 2022- Autonation Ford Brooksville, FL diagnosed it was steering stabilizer and ordered. Would call me when part came in to replace it. Early August 2022- Called Autonation to inquire about part. Told part was on "severe backorder". I advised problem was getting worse and tires were considerably worse. Was told they would call or email when part became available. 12 October 2022/52,690 miles- Called Autonation to inquire about part. Told it was projected to be in mid November. Told them problem was way worse. Wobble occurs anywhere from 45-70 mph depending on road surface. Noticeable clunk under various conditions while driving or turning. Advised I was going to park the truck due to safety concerns. Several times, wobble turned into pulling me hard left or right out of driving lane. One incident took me so far into oncoming traffic that the opposing traffic had to turn to avoid hitting me. This is my primary vehicle. I drive approximately 60 miles per day, to and from work.

My 2019 F250 has only 17328 miles today. This month I experienced two dangerous situations. When driving at high speed on the freeway, approx. 60 miles per hour, the steering wheel and the whole front end start an uncontrollable shake and wobble. It feels like the truck is going to be broken into pieces. I was driving at freeway speed in the carpool lane, this sudden wobbling scared me and all my family inside the truck. We thought the truck was going to explode or something. I immediately turned on my emergency light and reduced my speed. The car behind me almost hit my truck. I had to get out of the car pool lane and shift four lines before stopping on the shoulder. I looked into the problem online and found out that many Ford Heavy Duty truck owners like me had similar experiences. I went to a nearby Ford dealer, and the advisor informed me that this problem is known as "Death Wobble" and that Ford is aware of it. However, parts are unavailable, with no ETA! This dangerous issue could cause a vehicle operator to panic and try to reduce speed on the freeway suddenly in order to regain control, but it could also cause the vehicle to collide with a following vehicle or lose control, hitting vehicles nearby. My life and my family's lives could be in danger because of this. I am worried about driving this truck again since this is my work truck. Please help!

Suddenly while driving, the car begins to shake uncontrollably/violently, causing the vehicle to swerve and rapidly rotating the steering wheel to move from side to side, making it difficult to control and causes great fear of trying not to crash. Feels like my vehicle is about to fall part so I feel like I have to hold onto my car for dear life.

DEATH WOBBLE Dealer/Ford will not repair as a warranty problem. At 31,700 miles a vehicle should not lose control hitting a small bump.

While driving on highway at 65 mph, violent shaking in front end began and vehicle steering was inoperable. I had to slow down the vehicle to 10 mph before the violent shaking finally stopped and the ability to steer was regained. If I had been on a curve or had a vehicle behind me, I could have been killed. I was out of town when this occurred and it happened 5 additional times on that trip. This a known issue to Ford because they sent me a letter stating this is a problem. The truck (which was purchased brand new and only has 17,000 miles on it and all original parts) has now been with the dealer for 3 days. They are going to replace the steering damper but have told me that they don't know if it will fix the issue. After doing additional research on my own, I have learned that this issue is actually known as the "death wobble". Why is Ford not recalling these vehicles for this issue? It is extremely dangerous and certainly not what one would expect after paying $80K for a truck.

I understand that my truck has the Death Wobble. No warning lights, truck shakes vigorously driving on rough roads at 70mph

This is related to Campaign # 20N04 Steering Linkage Damper. Ford is aware of this problem and when I accelerate and hit a bump in the road the whole front end of the truck vibrates uncontrollably and i have to slam on the brakes to get the vehicle under control. I have taken it in to the Ford Dealership in Thomasville and they supposedly have ordered the part. My truck was there for 3 weeks and they did not fix the problem. I have called left messages and they have not returned my calls. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle and they will not give me the status update on when the part is going to come in.

My F250 started to shake uncontrollably while driving home from the airport on 26 September 2022. The vehicle has just over 20,000 miles on the odometer. The steering wheel shook out of my hands and I had to re-grab the steering wheel while driving at 50 mph. The shaking would not stop. I had to brake carefully because of traffic and pull off the to the shoulder. I merged back into traffic and it started to wobble uncontrollably again at 35 mph. I pulled over again and stopped. I merged back into traffic again and it did not happen again. Since it has just happened, I have not taken it to a Ford Dealership to get worked on. If traffic had not been lite, I am sure this issue would have caused an accident while I was driving 50 mph. I was very scared and was not anticipating this issue. There were no warnings. There should be an immediate recall of all these vehicles and the manufacture should fix or buy the trucks back. I will be notifying my Congressman and Senators.

Death wobble 65 to 45 mph. 32,000 miles Lose if control. Going to dealer soon,

While driving on more than one occasion the front of the truck and steering wheel starts violently shaking. It makes it hard to control. Once you pull over and stop, you can resume driving without issue. You never know when it will happen.

* On September 14, 2022, while driving Canada 2 near Fredericton at approximately 65 MPH, I crossed an overpass expansion joint at which time my 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty steering started oscillating violently (the well know “Death Wobble”). The truck had to be slowed and stopped on the road side to stop the oscillation. The truck is scheduled for inspection on September 28, 2022 at Waldorf Ford of Maryland. * My wife and I both were at risk as we were in the middle of tractor trailer traffic while trying to regain control of the steering and move the truck to safety. * The steering oscillation repeated itself 3 more times traveling from Canada to Maryland to return home from travel. I was able to minimize the effect by keeping my speed under 55 MPH. * The truck is scheduled for inspection by a Ford Service Center, Waldorf Ford of Maryland on September 28, 2022. * There were no warnings of any kind prior to the steering oscillation.

While driving on Interstate 45 south of Houston at highway speeds, the steering wheel began heavily vibrating after hitting a small pothole in the freeway. It vibrated violently until I was able to apply the brakes and slow to under 40 mph. At that point, it smoothed out and control was restored.

Drive train vibration, also known as “Death Wobble.” My truck is experiencing shaking, or vibration at driving speeds of 70MPH. Problem is getting worse.

Driving down the road at around 70 mph, hit a small bump in the road. My truck’s driver side front tire started to uncontrollably shake to the point I had to slow my vehicle extremely fast to prevent losing control. This is the second time it has happened at a high rate of speed. Both times I hit a bump in the road then it started to uncontrollably shake. After the first time (2021) I paid to have my mechanic change out the steering stabilizer shock and it seemed to help. I am guessing I will have to have the steering stabilizer shock replaced once again to prevent this from happening.

Driving at highway speed I hit bumps in the road which caused violent shaking in the vehicle and loss of control of the steering. I was forced to immediately reduce my speed to avoid total loss of control, almost causing an accident. Dealer called it the death wobble but was unable to repair due to the inability of replacement parts. I have videos of the my vehicle experiencing the issue again on 9-15-22

Death wobble, steering extremely violent and difficult in heavy traffic with a need to slow down immediately. Risk to me and everyone around me because of the loss of control. The truck wouldn’t stop vibrating/shaking/bouncing until I came to a complete stop in the middle median of an interstate highway. Stopped to look at the truck and didn’t see anything. Tried again and it happened a second time. The road was rough and has some uneven places. ( I-65 south between Louisville and Elizabethtown Kentucky.)

Ford truck death wobble at over 50 mph

The vehicle steering whips uncontrollably while driving over road imperfections (bumps, potholes, road transitions, etc.). Nearly lost control of the vehicle while driving in our neighborhood at ~35 mph when I hit a bump in the road. After researching, many people have reported this as the “death wobble.” I have not taken the vehicle to the dealer yet as I initially thought it was an isolated issue. It has now occurred multiple times and clearly creates an unsafe driving situation. There are no warning lights or signals but the problem is easily reproduced by driving the vehicle at ~35 mph or more over bumps in the road. I’ve had the issue occur on the highway at 70 mph and it could easily move the truck into another lane. I feel strongly that this should be throughly inspected immediately as it poses life-threatening conditions to drivers, passengers, and oncoming or nearby drivers.

Death Wobble: At speeds above 55mph the vehicle becomes uncontrollable after encountering bumps in the road that initiate the death wobble. The wobble becomes more uncontrollable until you can get the vehicle stopped - to zero mph. This was very dangerous in heavy Denver I25 traffic where your ability to stop was constrained by adjacent vehicles. It also occurred in construction zones with rough pavement and no shoulders or places to get off road. Having to hit the skids in the middle of freeway traffic posted with an 80mph speed limit, is life threatening, for my vehicle and the other drivers. Ford is well aware of this problem - the internet has many videos explaining how to fix it. Ford needs to get this done before someone is killed. I cannot drive the vehicle above 55mph.

While driving my children to school on a two lane road (55) the front end started shaking wildly. I lost control of the vehicle and ran oncoming traffic off the road when I crossed the double yellow line. My vehicle is stock with just barely 17k miles. Very scary.

On 8/27/22 Driving on the highway at a speed of approximately 70 mph coming of a bridge and going over transition caused the front of the truck to shake violently. With the wheels shaking and wobbling violently it was difficult to steer. This continued until I came to a complete stop on the side of the highway. This happened AGAIN on 9/4/22 with same situation on return trip home. Truck shook violently with tires wobbling until I pulled over to a complete stop. Very scary and dangerous! There was no warning prior or after incident. Truck had just been in for routine service with tire rotation on 8/16/22. Truck to be inspected by dealership on 9/14/22

While driving down road steering began to shake violently to the point unit drifted into other lane. Had to pull over to the side of the road to get it to stop. Took unit to dealer and was told parts on back order for a long time Ford is aware. Unit parked due to safety concerns.

Front end of vehicle and steering wheel both shake violently after hitting a bump when driving between 50-70 mph.

At approximately 30000 mi the truck began shaking violently whenever it hit a decent bump. mainly when traveling over 60mph. This is extreme shaking what most call a death wobble. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the steering stabilizer which seemed to help for awhile. The truck now has 73000 miles on it and shakes so bad i don't feel safe driving it. I have replaced the steering stabilizer again and the problem still persists. At this point I feel there are probably multiple issues with the steering and suspension due to the shaking.

Driving at 65 mph and hit a bump in the road causing excessive shaking and vibration in the steering wheel (Death Wobble).

I purchased this vehicle new in 2020. I've driven the vehicle 33,000 miles and the well-documented "death wobble" has happened a couple of dozen times (reference Ford's CSP 20N04) - relatively minor incidents until lately. On August 13, 2022 I drove over a railroad crossing at 55 MPH (per the speed limit and traffic flow) and the truck went into a violent steering oscillation that required an emergency stop - luckily the semi behind me had sufficient distance and wherewithal to avoid hitting me. My passenger was so shaken that we had to stop for 10 minutes - he didn't want to continue in the truck. The truck is current at the local Ford Dealer and they are telling me that 'since they can't reproduce the issue they will not take the recommended actions outlined in 20N04. The severity of the "death wobble" renders the vehicle useless to me because I don't want my family to die. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Vehicle is available for inspection. Steering linkage is failing and/or there is a fundamental engineering flaw. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Vehicle became undrivable when the "death wobble" occurred. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue because it happens relatively infrequently. But, when it happens, it renders the vehicle undriveable. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The dealer has inspected the vehicle. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

I was driving on the Interstate on 8-23-2022 at approximately 1:00pm. As I crossed a bridge deck, the vehicle started shaking violently. It was hard to hold onto the steering wheel. The problem stopped when I pulled onto the shoulder and slowed way down. I called Beartooth Ford in Columbus, MT and reported the issue. They were very aware of what the issue was. They advised me that there was a recall that would fix it. I stopped at their business and they recorded the VIN and mileage of my vehicle. I do have a live video of the incident happening a second time but this system won’t allow me to attach it.

My 2019 Ford F250 has experienced the "death wobble" 3 times. All three times I have almost crashed and put my life and the life of others at risk. Each time the truck starts to violently shake and I have to hold on to the steering wheel with all my power so I don't crash. I have taken my truck back to the ford dealership multiple times but they said they do not know how to fix it. I also took it to a specialist to fix and pay over $4,000 but that still didn't work. Now I can not drive the truck for my safety. There were no prior incidents or symptoms before this started.

When driving on uneven roads (bumps/potholes) the front end shakes almost like it’s hydroplaning or skipping across the road.

Steering linkage damper is faulty. Multiple incidents of steering violently shaking after hitting a pothole. The vehicle is uncontrollable while the steering is shaking. The last incident when the death wobble occurred I could not maintain my lane of traffic, when I finally got the truck under control I was in the lane of oncoming traffic. There is no warning when this problems occurs

We were traveling on the interstate at 70 MPH , hit a bump in the road and all of a sudden the truck began to shake causing the truck and attached camper to sway uncontrollable. We swerved and were able to get the truck slowed down and to the left shoulder of the road. It was very scary for my family. Luckily we were able to control the truck and not cause an accident. This has happened one other time while camper was attached. The truck is going to the dealership Friday August 19th for the current recall Manufacturer Recall Number22S09 NHTSA Recall Number22v087 . The dealership is also going to replace a steering dampener

My truck has the death wobble. This is the 3rd time I have tried to fix it. Now, my local Ford dealership says they cannot duplicate the problem. This is very dangerous. At any given time, I am going to have a wreck. It is not an “if”, but a “when”. I have no choice but to drive my truck like it is. I had to get Ford manufacturer’s to help me last year.

While towing my 15,500 GVWR fifth wheel at approximately 60 mph on the 210 fwy in a construction zone I encountered some very rough asphalt repairs just on the drivers side of the lane. I had a, close to the lane, K-rail on the passenger side and one lane next to me on the drivers side with a K-rail on the drivers side of that lane. When I hit the rough pavement my wheels started to oscillate violently back and forth and pulled me about 3 feet into the next lane on the drivers side. Luckily there was not anyone in the lane at the time. I forced the wheel to the right and straightened out when I got back in the right lane but the "Death Wobble" continued so I slowed down to about 35 mph and the wobbling finally stopped. The rest of the 3 day trip I stayed at or below 55 mph to be safe. I could have been much worse had there been someone in the next lane or if it had pulled me to the right into the K-rail. Someone could have been injured or killed. I took the truck to Upland ford in California and they said that the steering stabilizer, both drag links and the track bar needed to be replaced but that the stabilizer was on back order. I also took it to Sunrise Ford in Fontana California, where I bought the truck, and they confirmed that I needed the exact same things plus they included that the tie rods needed to be replaced. I have about 22,200 miles on the truck and it is out of the factory warranty. I have an extended warranty with Portfolio Protection and Sunrise Ford had 2 different inspectors from Portfolio come out and inspect the front suspension to authorize repairs. They would only authorize replacing one of the drag links. Before this incident I did feel that the steering had, slowly over time, started to feel a little loose when I hit smaller bumps. There were no warning lamps that came on. I am afraid to drive the truck especially pulling my fifth wheel trailer.

Truck shakes violently when encountering uneven pavement at speeds in excess of 55mph. Difficult to keep the vehicle in the road when this happens and speed must be reduced to <35mph for it to subside. Unsafe activity to need your take when traveling on highway. Please consider issuing a recall for this ‘death wobble’ before someone is hurt or killed.

I bought my 2019 F250 Super Duty diesel 4x4 brand new in December 2019. My truck has had and continues to have very, very serious returning "Death Wobble" issues. At least 10 times in 3 years! The dealership has already replaced the steering "damper" once and now it is time to replace it again, yes a second time. The truck only has 31000 miles. My wife, for the first time, experienced this "Death Wobble" on last weeks trip to Louisiana. It happened 3 times in the course of 500 miles. She was scared half to death! And rightly so as every time it happens it scares me to because of the very, very violent shaking of the truck. And it makes me wonder if I can regain control without causing an accident or crashing!!!! You cannot imagine how bad this "Death Wobble is unless you experience it happening yourself. I think you should have FORD take a serious look at this issue and figure something out before someone dies via "Death Wobbling Ford Trucks"!!! I am sure that I'm not alone with this issue with with Ford truck "Death Wobble"!!!!!! Please help!

When I’m driving the truck and I am at speeds 50 mph + and hit a pothole or crack in the road I get the death wobble. The steering wheel will violently shake in my hands and the whole front end too. It is difficult to control. I have to slow down the truck and even come to a complete stop to get it to stop. It’s been so bad at times I hear the front tires start chirping like I’m doing a hopping burnout.

Truck has what is now commonly called the "Death Wobble". This is, unfortunately, a common problem with F250 Super Duty trucks. This is a very dangerous loss of control at typical highway speeds. Uncontrollable shaking after hitting minor roadway bumps at speed. The fact that Ford is fully aware of the issue and has not done a recall is hard to believe. Do people have to die on the road because Ford won't recognize this issue? My truck has only 22,000 miles on it but is off warranty as 3 years have passed since date of purchase, low miles due to Covid! I have been told by Ford that some some of the trucks are covered but, unfortunately, mine is not. I guess only the broken ones aren't covered...

Driving on interstate and all of a sudden the truck began to shake uncontrollably, so much so I could not hold the wheel. I some how managed not to hit anyone or anything and got it off on to the side of the road. I cut the tuck off, checked to see if anything look broke or if I blew out both front tires. All appeared to be in order.

Yesterday, my wife and I were on highway 169 in tulsa oklahoma traveling 65 mph and the truck started wobbling uncontrollably I had to get off of highway onto grassy area to get control of truck. This was my second time to experience the wobble shaking and it was more severe than previous one that happened 1 week prior

Death wobble at 70 mph twice within 10 minutes.

When traveling at highway speed, experienced the "death wobble". The front end and steering wheel shakes violently making steering impossible. Slow down to about 40mph and it stops. This has occurred 3 times when hitting a bump. Occurred once with just the truck and twice while pulling a 5th wheel. Ford dealer replaced tie rod ends etc but still Occurred after that, now waiting on a new steering damper.

At highway speeds (65-70 mph) if a pot hole or rough expansion joint is hit the vehicle begins to shake violently. Very difficult to control and steer. When breaking gets down to about 45 mph the violent shaking stops.

Violent shaking at 55-65mph on highway Lost control of steering Case 37164316

3rd time in a week- Death Wobbke while driving in heavy traffic. This is not safe!! No warning light ms our sounds- just starts violently shaking while driving out of the blue. In order to make it stop- you have to immediately slow down and pull over. This is challenging in that while driving at a high speed (within speed limits) on a major Hwy, you cannot just slow down immediately or pull over immediately. In addition, it happens so quickly and is so violent (major shaking and wobble) that you are taken off guard and driving becomes unsafe for ourselves and for drivers around you. Ford is aware of this problem. Our mechanics don’t have a fix all solution. For the price you pay for this vehicle, the consumer should not have to pay for a fix like this, even if there was one. This is NOT safe.

We started having a death wobble while driving between 60-70mph where the steering wheel shook Violently and the vehicle shook so back it hurt and scared me and my kids in the back seat. It was very scary and almost caused me to wreck with my kids in the car on the interstate. We then looked up and saw there was a recall for this problem. We took the truck into a dealership and got it supposedly repaired. It did not work. Roughly 1 month later. I was trusting Ford fixed the issue and on the interstate again and almost wrecked a second time with the kids in the car. This truck shouldn’t be allowed on the road of ford doesn’t have a fix. My business partner has the exact same truck and the exact same scenario occurred where he got the issue fixed at a dealership after almost crashing only to have it happen again. Currently we don’t know what to do as we paid big bucks for a vehicle that isn’t safe to drive,

Currently we don’t know what to do as we paid big bucks for a vehicle that isn’t safe to drive, R. Clites

After going over bump in the road truck starts bouncing uncontrollable, like the left tire in bouncing like a basketball to a point of almost losing control, until i can slow down to a stop ,then when I speed back up it stops. I have only experienced this two times both in the last month the truck has about 32000 miles. I have taken it to dealership for maintenance but I don't think they really know what's going on.

My truck has experienced the "death wobble" to my understanding the damper linkage is the malfunction. I reported this last year with Ford, but could NEVER get the part in. Now the truck wobbles and the steering wheel shakes violently with any little hole you run over. I have small children in the vehicle constantly and in the past 2 weeks it has shaken at least 4 times going over speeds of 50moh on the highway and the only way to make it stop is to immediately pull over and stop. I am afraid it will happen and I will not be able to control it.

Traveling at highway speeds I hit a bump and it started to wobble. Some call it the death wobble.

Driving and hit rough road and front end wobbles tell I slow down. Once pulling a camper and another time I was not pulling a trailer. Speed was 65mph, had to slow down pull over and restart. Others call this the Ford death wobble and I agree!

death wobble occurs at speeds at or around 50 to 70 mph on june 22,2022 , yes the the truck became uncontrollable and steering was do to the wobbling, the vehicle is currently at a ford dealer ship awaiting for repairs to the front end, dealer acted if the truck could not be repair upon dropping off the truck due to a back order problem for the part needed, there is no type of warning light or indicator to prewarn of this event happening. could very easily cause an accident or roll over

Violent steering wheel shaking. Death wobble. Almost hit concrete wall

When I'm on the highway going between 45-75 MPH, and I encounter a bump or deviation in the pavement, The front end steering will begin to violently cavitate and wobble. The truck speed must be immediately reduced in order to regain control and stop cavitation of front end. I usually have to slow down to 35 MPH to get it to stop. This causes traffic behind me to swerve to avoid me and has almost lead to several accidents. Ford Dealer, Jordan Ford, told me that the replacement Stabilizer absorber has been back ordered for 3 months and they have a lot of people waiting on them. I told Dealer Rep about this issue already and they commented that if it doesn't do it all the time , I shouldn't worry about it. I understand supply issues are considerable, but this is a safety issue that should take precedence before someone is killed.

When the vehicle is traveling over a certain speed and hits bumps or uneven road it loses control of the steering wheel.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 70 mph I drove over a overpass that had a had a rise in the transition between the road and the overpass. After driving over the bump my steering wheel began to shake violently. I had to apply the brakes and at approximately 25mph the shake stopped. I continued down the freeway and I in countered a section that had somewhat bumpy expansion joints and once again the steering wheel began to shake violently and I had to slow down to approximately 20 mph to get the shaking to stop. During both these incidents it was very difficult to control the vehicle putting all the vehicles around in danger of me losing control, keep in mind this was a 4 lane freeway with a speed limit of 70 mph and heavy traffic !.

While driving on freeway at 65 mph the truck began to shake violently. Slowed down to 40 mph and shaking eventually stopped. Extremely hard to steer vehicle during the shaking.

Driving 75 mph on the interstate and truck steering wheel and entire front end started to shake uncontrollably and almost pulled me into the other lane where another vehicle was. Would continue to shake until the vehicle speed would get below 45 mph. Has happened numerous times. Started doing this May 25, 2022. 84k miles on the truck

I was driving on the interstate and when I hit the expansion joint on a bridge, my truck and steering wheel began shaking uncontrollably. I was lucky to be in a situation that I could slow down quickly and pull off the road without getting into a serious accident. I talked to some other F250 owners and they said it was a common thing with these trucks and they referred to it as the "Death Wobble". It is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS issue that needs to be handled. I am taking it in to the Ford dealership tomorrow, but I hear that they don't have any fix for it now.

On 2 Jun 22, on I-24W near Nashville, while driving at the posted speed limit (65mph), I hit a pothole. The front end started oscillating which made it very difficult to maintain control. I slowed and pulled off the highway. The bouncing stopped just before pulling off. I inspected the tires for possible damage. There was none. Later the same day on I-65N north of Indianapolis, also driving near the posted speed limit (70mph) I hit an expansion joint, and the oscillation recurred until I slowed down to under 45mph. On 6 Jun22 travelling on I-65S I experienced the same oscillation on three occasions after hitting a bump at a bridge, a rough place in the road and a small pothole. On 7 Jun 22, while traveling on I-75S I experienced two more incidents due to bumps on the road. In all 5 instances the oscillation stopped after slowing to ~45mph. These incidents caused a severe lack of control putting me and other drivers at risk. This problem has been widely reported in online forums and in other complaints to NHTSA. There were not warnings or symptoms prior to the failure. Ford appears to be aware of the problem, issuing TSB 18-2268, but has yet to issue a recall.

driving down interstate and on the off ramp running 65 mph experienced a "death wobble" in the curve. Very lucky I was able to recover and not roll the truck and run into other vehicles that were nearby.

AT 60-70 MPH THE FRONT END BEGINS A SERIES OF VIOLENT SHIMMY OR WOBBLES. IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE. THE SERVICE TECHS REFER TO IT AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. i WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A STEERING GEAR REPLACE INITIALLY. TODAY I WAS TOLD IT WAS A STEERING DAMPNER. I HAD THE TRUCK EVALUATED ON 5/26/22 AT PHIL LONG FORD AT MOTOR CITY WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS "WOBBLE" COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL AND JEOPADIZE MY SAFTEY AS WELL AS ANY FAMILY MEMBERS THAT MAY BE TRAVELING WITH ME

I’ve experienced the death wobble, uncontrollable shaking from front end. Very violent and scary. Hard to control vehicle. It happens any time over 65mph. I called ford they said there was an open campaign on the shaking however the parts are not available at this time my truck is not drivable

Front suspension system will shake uncontrollably when I hit a pot whole are RR tracks. Very serious when pulling 12000 lb camper

When driving the front end will begin to violently shake making it almost impossible to maintain control. This seems to be triggered when driving on the highway and when hitting a transition in the road or any type of bump no matter how small. The only way to stop the shake is to quickly get off the road and stop. The dealership has been made aware and did a temporary fix, very temporary. We have contacted them several times and have been told there's nothing they can do.

Hit a bump in the road and the front suspension starting shaking and the steering wheel became very hard to hold onto because of the violent shaking. The vehicle almost flipped over before i could get stopped. Ford replaced the steering damper but i still feel more bouncing from the front suspension. I think there are more issues than just the steering damper.

While driving on the freeway my steering wheel shakes uncontrollably this does not happen often but it’s happened in three times since I’ve had the vehicle. Happened today for the third time while I was driving about to exit off the freeway felt like I had a blowout scared the daylights out of me. Thankfully I was able to control the steering wheel and exit freeway

Experienced the "Death Shaking" 7 times while on our way to Talladega while towing a 6 ton camper. It would shake violently until I brought the rig to a stop. We were able to nurse it to Tony Serra Ford in Sylacauga AL., where they replaced the steering linkage damper. This is a serious issue because of the potential for control loss.

When driving on Highway any time you are going over 50 mph and hit a bump, pot hole, or seam on a bridge, the truck’s front end starts shaking violently and you have to slow the truck down under 40 mph to get the truck to drive normal. This has happened numerous times over the past 3 years.

Extreme shake and vibration and looses all control on vehicle at speeds 40 mph or higher once a bump or uneven roadway. Very unsafe and huge risk to driver and other drivers. Ford knows of this issue as there have been many reports in past including class action lawsuit. 2019 Ford F250 16k miles

My husband and I were driving 70mph, the speed limit was 75mph. Our truck encountered a bump in the road and then began to shake violently. My husband immediately let off the gas and pulled to the side of the road but the truck continued to violently shake until it reached about 45mph. On the same day while driving down the interstate the truck encountered another bump in the road and did the same thing. My husband could not stop or control the truck from shaking. We were lucky there were not many other vehicles around us or it could have caused an accident. The truck only has 18,000 miles on it.

At highway speeds, if you hit a bump in the road, the front end shakes violently and will not stop until you slow way down or pull off the road. I have called and scheduled an inspection with the dealer and when I described the problem they said "oh, you have the death wobble" I purchased the vehicle in Dec 2020 and first noticed this issue the following month or so....with seemingly increasing frequency.

Hitting a bump while driving at freeway speed will result in an uncontrollable shake of the truck that sometime force the truck to move from lane to lane. The shake will continue until the truck slow down to about 20 MPH. The dealer has the truck for 2 weeks but they could not find any issue and return the truck back without any repair and stated that the truck is safe to drive. They refuse to do the test drive.

I was driving down the highway and for some unknown reason the front end of my truck started shaking violently. I had to pull over to the side of the highway to get it to stop. This has happened previously but not nearly as bad as I only slowed down to get the shaking to stop.

I was driving in the freeway approximately 70 mph when the truck drove over a small imperfection in the road and immediately started to shake violently and uncontrollably (often referred to as death wobble) I left off of the gas and as the vehicle slowed to 50 mph the shaking went away. This shaking is very violent and takes away from the drivers ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner amongst traffic on a busy freeway. Of the brake is pressed the shaking becomes worse until the vehicle slows. I took the truck to the dealer which the dealer advised that there was a recall on the steering dampener and replaced it stating that will relieve the truck of a death wobble . However, this did not fix the issue as I took it on the freeway and experienced the same exact issue. The truck has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. No lights or warnings were given at any time before during or after r the incident.

The steering feels loose as it would in an older worn out vehicle. It causes the truck to drift and requires constant correction to stay in the lane. The greater concern is the occasional violent wobble that happens when hitting a bump at high speeds. Last week the truck went into a violent shake after hitting a pothole and nearly sent me off the shoulder of the road. I was barely able to keep the truck from going off an embankment. This is a extremely dangerous issue that FORD needs to address before someone gets killed.

while driving at 70 MPH on interstate 75 in Ohio, there where a couple of small bumps in the road ( not pot holes) that we drove over in the lane. Felt the truck start to vibrate through the steering wheel and within about 1-2 seconds the whole vehicle started shaking. it was a VERY violent shaking that came through the steering wheel. I had to apply the brake and move to shoulder and stop the vehicle before the shaking stopped. ( it probably stopped shaking at a speed less than 20mph however i was not looking at the speedometer) i consider us lucky as we were already in the right lane and did not have to cross other lanes to get to safety. had there been traffic behind us or next to us this could have been a very different situation, putting those in the vehicle at risk as well those driving around or near us.

As the vehicle is driven, it'll suddenly shake so violently, I can barely keep it straight, and my wife can barely hold on to the steering wheel. This 1st happened July 2020, and we thought it was the poor condition of the road...but since, we have almost been bounced off the road and were very fortunate there was no on coming traffic, so many times, my wife will not drive the truck....and the passengers who've been with us when this has happened , will not ride again in the vehicle....never were we driving over 65 when any of these incidents happen...typically around 50-55.....I originally thought the truck had rough suspension, because any time the road conditions were not perfect, this would happen in small increments, I thought it was the suspensions...but since July 2020, we have to try to pull the truck over (which is difficult as we have little if any control of the steering ) and come to a complete stop, to get control of the truck....

Violent steering wheel shaking at speeds 55 - 65 mph.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at 45 MPH, the steering wheel started shaking significantly and the front end of the vehicle started bouncing from side to side, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle then veered to the side of the road. The contact depressed the brake pedal until he was able to regain control of the vehicle. The contact continued to drive; however, the failure reoccurred several times the same day. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.

Mileage: 18,000

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced the death wobble, causing the vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic. The contact was able to pull over. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer replaced the damper on the steering linkage. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000.

Mileage: 31,000

On a recent trip I experienced violent shaking to the front end of my Ford F250 Super Duty truck. It typically occurred at speeds over 65 miles per hour. It happened after going over bumps or grooves in the road. To stop the shaking, I had to quickly slow way down or even stop completely.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, he noticed that the front end of the vehicle was shaking. The contact drove to a local mechanic and the vehicle was diagnosed with a steering linkage failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,590.

Mileage: 25,590

I get the "death wobble" when traveling at hwy speeds. Violent wheel shake, almost uncontrollable steering.

Driving on highway at 65 mph, hit expansion joint bump--relatively large bump--and experienced the "death wobble" of the steering wheel shaking violently and seeming loss of control (no sway or pull, but difficulty holding the steering wheel itself). Had to slow to almost 40 MPH in highway traffic to regain stability/control of vehicle. Vehicle has ~18000 miles on it at time of incident. No warning lamps or messages. I have not had the vehicle in yet for inspection.

When traveling at about 55 mph I hit a rough patch in the road on Missouri Hwy 30. The truck started shaking, shimming, bouncing, and wobbling severely, and kept on doing so for an extended period of time and distance traveled. I'm guessing another 100 yards or so. I was able to keep control, but had to slow down and pull over to get it stopped and to get my self calmed down too. It has not happened again as dramatically, but I've been very carefully avoiding road hazards. It does shake more than usual with any unevenness in the pavement. The dealers locally say 6-8 weeks to get an appointment to look at it. Ridiculous!

While driving approx 50 mph, steering wheel began shaking violently. This continued until I came to a complete stop. Approx two weeks later vehicle did it a second time. Also noticed that when turning vehicle into my garage at low speed steering had a popping sound when turned about 3/4 of turn.

I was driving down the interstate at approximately 70 miles per hour I hit a bump going over a bridge and the front end of my truck started shaking violently and almost made me wreck I had to come to a complete stop before it would stop shaking

The front end suspension causes the entire front end to shake uncontrollably then travels to bed of the vehicle. It makes the vehicle difficult to control, and we have had to stop or slow to below 40 mph to gain control.

If I go around 50 mph my truck shakes very badly.

On multiple occasions now I have experienced the F-250 "Death Wobble" while driving on the interstate. After hit a regular sized bump in the road the vehicle begins shaking violently, feeling as though a tire has blown. In both instances I was driving the speed limit (70 mph). The entire truck shakes violently, specifically the front end, cab, steering. Only by slowing down quickly does the shaking stop. It is extremely dangerous as it feels like I will lose control of the vehicle. On both occasions I stopped an inspected for tire or wheel damage and saw none. I could have easily lost control of the vehicle and caused serious injury or death. I had the alignment done on the vehicle when I bought it late last year - there were no issues/concerns from the technicians. There are no warnings or messages in either instance. Initially, I thought the first time it happened was a one time occurrence and I was the only one in the vehicle. The second time my family was in the vehicle with me, they were very scared.

Traveling 70 mph on highway and went over an over pass. Upon hitting the bump at the transition to the bridge the truck began shaking violently and I was forced to slow to a complete stop in order to regain control.

I have experienced over 5 times a severe wobble/shaking of my steering wheel at speeds around 50-55 or when I hit a bump in the road. The steering wheel shakes violently. Balance and alignment are fine.

The front end of the vehicle started shaking violently. I almost lost control of the vehicle while driving 65mph due to this. I had to slow down to 20mph on the highway to get the steering wheel and front end to stop the violent shakes. This problem is extremely dangerous and I hope it never has to be reproduced. I have an appointment with the dealer in a few days. Their suggested repair is to replace the steering damper. There were no warning lights, messages, or system errors with the vehicle.

While driving at approximately 65 mph, I experienced an extremely violent front end wobble that shook the entire front end of my truck. Steering control was greatly affected and I had to slow down below 40 mph before it quit. I continued on my way to work not exceeding 50 mph. This was a very traumatic and unnerving experience. Luckily, I was on a straight away portion of the highway. I do not think I could have maintained my lane if I had been in a curve. Fortunately, vehicles around me were not close by in case I had totally lost steering control. No other vehicles were affected. My truck had less than 35,000 miles on it at the time of occurrence. Prior to this episode, my steering was largely unaffected. I took my truck to the local dealer to get this fixed. The steering damper was replaced. No other components were replaced at this time. Time will tell if this is the cure.

We were driving on the highway 74 in NC going roughly 65 mph and passed over some bumps in the roadway. The truck went into a violent jerking of the steering wheel back and forth and would not stop until we slowed down and pulled off the freeway. This has now happened approximately 5 times. We no longer feel safe to drive on the freeway at highway speeds nor do we feel safe pulling our horse trailer. Pulling horse trailers is the reason we bought the truck. My daughter, who is a relatively new driver, was driving and this was very frightening to both of us. This is very unsafe and any trucks that could potentially have this issue need to be recalled and fixed free of charge to the consumer.

At speeds of 50MPH or more, the vehicle and steering wheel violently shakes uncontrollably after a bump or groove in the road is contacted under normal driving and road conditions. The only way to correct the issue is to slow to a stop.

Violent steering wheel oscillation after hitting a bump as we were going about 50 mph

While driving this 2019 F-250 truck, all of a sudden the truck began to shake violently. Not only the whole truck, but the steering wheel was shaking violently as well. I was scared to death.This has happened on the interstate where I was in the left lane passing a tractor trailer and no sooner did I get passed then my truck began this "Death Wobble." I had no place to pull over to my left, so I had to pull right in front of the truck that I just passed, braking as hard as I could while moving to the right shoulder. An extremely dangerous situation. I can only imagine if this had happened to my wife! Fortunately, I had read about this condition prior to it happening. My truck only has 15,000 miles on it. This Death Wobble has been around since 2005 on Ford F-250 trucks, yet Ford and their dealers seem to pretend that they know nothing about it. And yes, I have had this safety hazard occur several times. This is a very serious safety issue. You have no warning lights or signals that the death wobble is imminent. I can even reproduce it if need be. It has happened several times since December 2021. You can see many incidents of this by either searching on line or by going to YouTube and typing in Death Wobble.

I have experienced the death wobble/steering shaking issue with my 2019 F250 previously, but the latest incident was the worst as it happened while towing my camper. I was initially driving at around 60mph, drove over a small bump and the wobble started. The only way I know of to stop the wobble is to slow down immediately to around 25mph, this is very dangerous obviously as you have less control due to the wobbling, and quickly slowing down on a busy four lane highway endangers others. The steering did the same wobble six times during my 150 mile trip, one time so severe I could not see straight as the vehicle was wobbling so hard. I purchased my truck around a year ago with 26k miles, it now has around 36k miles - no where near enough miles in my opinion for the steering components to be worn out. I have experienced the issue since I purchased the truck, I had not fixed it myself as I was waiting for the manufacturer to issue a recall and fix the truck.

I believe there may be a defect in either the steering or front suspension system. when traveling at 70 MPH or higher the vehicle will violently shake and feels as if the tires are bouncing off the pavement when the truck drives over an expansion joint on an overpass. The bouncing/ shaking escalates within seconds and feels as if the truck will destroy itself. the truck needs to be stopped for the bouncing to stop and feels as if there is very little control over the steering of the vehicle. the problem is reproduced frequently and i have had to lower my speed before reaching overpasses. The vehicle will be scheduled for a service soon. The dealer mentioned something about adding a steering dampener to resolve the issue. there are no warning lamps or alarms. The issue would happen daily if i did not reduce my speed. The issue is serious especially if there are others on the highway and you need to stop quickly to get the vehicle under control. The first time the issue appeared was at about 36000 miles and is more frequent now at 40,000 miles.

I was driving on an interstate at 80mph when I hit a bump in the road. This happened on December 15, 2021. The front end of my truck went into a horrendous death wobble. I immediately slowed down and pulled to the side and stopped. When I started back on the interstate the front end was fine. I purchased this as a used truck on November 9, 2021. I then was driving on a county road at 50mph, hit a bump and the front end again went into a horrendous death wobble. This happened on February 7, 2022. I was able to slow down, pull into a median and stop. As before, pulling back onto the road the truck was fine.

i was driving approximately 50 mph, hit a bump and the steering started to shake back and forth until i stopped. the truck was unloaded has about 20000 miles on it and rarely hauls much weight.

While driving around a curve the vehicle started to violently shake to the point you could not control the vehicle. Lucky i was not meeting any on coming traffic and was able to take up both lanes until I could get the vehicle stopped. The second time this occurred , I was driving down a road and when I went over some rubble strips in the road, the vehicle began to violently shake once again.

After riding over a pothole on Interstate 24 with left front tire, vehicle began to shake violently and continued to shake until able to slow the vehicle below 20mph. This incident repeated further down the highway. Vehicle control was extremely difficult during onset and braking seems to make vehicle harder to control.

TRUCK STEERING STARTED WOBBLING OUT OF CONTROL AT 60 TO 65 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER A SMALL POT HOLE ON FREEWAY. COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF TRUCK. IT FORCE ME INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD (VERY DANGEROUS.) I AM AFRAID TO LET WIFE DRIVE THIS VERY EXSPENSIVE VEHICLE. (OVER $80K). FORD MUST DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT IT. THEY JUST WILL NOT DO ANYTHING OR DO A PROPER REPAIR

When hitting a bump or hole in the road, sometimes the tires and steering wheel start to shake violently. I have to slow down considerably before the shaking stops. After that, the truck runs normal until I hit another hole or bump. What happens is identical to the "death wobble" experienced with Ford F250.

Upon exiting from the highway at an approximate speed of 55mph in my 2019 Ford F250, I experienced a SEVERE case of what is commonly known as the "death wobble." I was essentially unable to control the vehicle in both braking and steering capacities, so much so that we ended partially in the grass median before regaining safe control. This again happened on the return trip home. So far I have been unable to obtain what I feel like is a satisfactory answer from the Ford dealership from whom I purchased the vehicle. In a 2 year old truck with under 50,000 miles I feel that this (especially being a known issue) should be a recalled item. I have never had a vehicle that I feel this unsafe driving in. The amount of jarring we experienced and the fact that I had little to no control at highway speeds is EXTREMELY unnerving.

I was driving my F250 Super Duty at a highway speed of 76 mph with the cruise set. Truck has just over 21K miles and is a 2019 model. I drifted slightly onto the rumble strip of the highway and the truck went into the Ford Death Wobble. It is the first and only time it’s happened since buying the truck new. This happened on Monday 1/24/2022. It was shocking how violently the steering started shaking! I had to slow down to 35 mph before it stopped. I plan to contact my local dealer (where I purchased new) to set up service to report and address. However after reading about this ongoing issue I felt compelled to report the issue on your site. Most everything I’m reading reports Ford has yet to put out a recall to properly address. However I did find a TSB that I will reference with the dealer when I take it in. My truck is still under remainder of factory warranty and has not had any modifications or aftermarket parts installed since purchasing it new. Tires/wheels and all suspension components are what came with on it at time of purchase. Very frightening experience!

While driving down the interstate, at approximately 70 mph, the front suspension started to wobble to the point that it was almost uncontrollable. Once the vehicle was slowed to approximately 50 mph, the wobble stopped. This vehicle has 28,000 miles & this is a condition that has just started in the last 30 days.

2019 F-250 adaptive steering malfunction. The truck has 49000 miles. I was reversing from a parking lot and as I shifted gears to drive and turn to get straight to move forward, my steering adaptive light came on the dash and my steering shifted 90 degrees to the left. Driving to the dealership with a toddler was frightening. This is a serious safety hazardous. Ford should issue a recall, but does not.

At 60 mph, vehicle front end occasionally starts shaking violently (death wobble) after bump in road. Have to slow down or stop to correct the wobble. Loss of control of the vehicle. I have heard of the problem on same type f250 in the past. No warnings before issue occurs.

Truck shakes and wobbles violently if a bump or transition in the road is hit at 50mph or greater. Truck has less than 13K miles on it , sits at stock height and tires have not been changed

When truck hits certain rough areas of the road the steering wheel will begin to oscillate violently and the truck will shake(death wobble). This will continue until you slow down to around 20 mph. The dealer the truck was purchased from was notified of the situation but can not get me in for at least a month. This has only happened when traveling in a straight line but if did occur in a curve I do not think I would be able to control the vehicle. This puts occupants of my vehicle as well as surrounding vehicles in danger. For now I do not feel safe driving this vehicle so it will be parked until the dealer can do something about it. After researching this it seems that this death wobble is a common occurrence with this vehicle and the manufacture has not done much to remedy the situation. i do have video of this happening but am unable to upload due to size restrictions.

Driving down the highway doing somewhere between 75-80. Hit a small bump in the road and then it felt like the front end of my truck exploded. The steering wheel started violently jerking and the whole truck was shaking from the inside out. I held as tight as I could to stay inside my lane since I was surrounded by many vehicles travel long as fast as me. I slowed down as fast as I could and was able to get the truck to the shoulder. I went out to look and see if I hit something or if my tires had exploded and could find nothing wrong. I got back in the truck and checked my dash indicators and tire pressure and everything was fine. So I started to drive on the shoulder to see if I could keep going. Everything seemed fine so I got back on the highway and headed home. Maybe 4-5 miles later I was doing about 60 and the same thing happened but even worse. I’m really lucky I was able to keep control. I pulled over and rested the truck then took a side street and went 30 or under home. Upon getting home I messaged my friend about what happened and he sent me a bunch of links about the ford death wobble. I watched the videos and this is exactly what happened to me. I’m furious that ford isn’t being made to address this. If I had my kids in the car or was otherwise not strong enough to hold that steering wheel In place I wouldn’t be here typing this tonight. I’ll be taking the truck to the dealer in the morning but anything short of them replacing each and every component in this system will not be acceptable

After going over a rough patch of road, the steering wheel began to violently shake. Causing difficulty keeping the truck in my lane. I waited briefly for it to stop but it wouldn’t. I pulled to the shoulder and began to slow down. Around 10 miles per hour the shaking finally went away. Ford has recalled the steering damper. This repair has already been done on this truck but did not resolve the issue. After doing my own research this is not the underlying issue that causes this problem, but Ford will not take the responsibility to do anything else for me.

While driving at approximately 65 mph on a highway under ordinary conditions and on a relatively flat road, unprompted by any driving event, the truck started violently shaking. The steering wheel was shaking uncontrollably at the same time. The passenger reached for the grab bar to hold on to in fear as it felt like the vehicle was out of control. The event lasted approximately 30-60 seconds and seemingly randomly, stopped after the vehicle slowed down slightly. No warning lights or messages came on before, during, or after the event.

I have had in excess of 15 incidents where my truck upon hitting a bump in the road the front right tire began to go into what is referred to as a "death wobble". I took my truck in to have it repaired. The wobble stopped for approximately 2 weeks and then the left tire began doing the same thing. On Dec, 31st driving from Stockton to LA I hit an uneven spot in the highway when I was between a semi truck and a concrete barrier. It caused the semi truck to swing wildly out of control as he swerved to avoid my vehicle as it went into a death wobble sending me withing inches of his cab. My rear finder struck the concrete barrier causing damage to the rear panel. My brother and I could have easily been killed. Ford refuses do do a real on this vehicle and it is risking lives. Additionally my brother in law has the same truck with the same issue. I will never buy a Ford ever again.

UNKNOWN While driving at highway speed when a mild bump is hit in the road the front end starts to wobble violently first happened around 35000 miles and now is so bad the vehicle is not safe to driver at highway speed

While accelerating on the entrance ramp to the freeway, which is free of potholes, or bumps, the front end of the truck began bouncing up and down violently. I was traveling approximately 50 mph. I immediately braked and the bouncing ceased. Luckily there were no cars behind me at that moment. I bought this truck used about 2 years ago with about 34000 miles on it. I do not know if the previous owner experienced this. It now has 50000 miles, and that was the first and only time so far my wife or I have experienced that problem. This problem could definitely lead to a complete loss of steering control. Luckily I was only going about 50 mph and not on a curve, and nobody behind me. I have this vehicle scheduled for service at Elder Ford of Romeo on Dec 27 2021. They have indicated that it might be a stabilizer bar.

The following has happened twice with the truck. While driving down the highway at @55 -65 mph the truck started shaking violently and the steering wheel starting shaking back and forth after driving over an uneven section of the highway. I was able to slow down and pull over until the shaking stopped. The dealership looked at it and decided that the damper was bad. The first time it happened was at about 60K miles and the 2nd time was at 95k. There is no warning before this happens.

The malfunction was receiving "Death Wobble" on three occurrences in less than a 24 hour period driving less than 50 miles in total. This is a safety issue to all passengers and other drivers on the road due to inability to steer and control the vehicle safely. The problem has been confirmed by the Manufacturer as "death wobble" or "vehicle shimmying". The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer and identified as the problem of "death wobble" There are no indications prior to this malfunction occuring.

While traveling down the road at hit small bump.Steering wheel starting shaking violently felt as if whole front end was bouncing up and down. No warning lights or anything Had to let off accelerator and slow to 35 mph before it stopped. Happened to wife before after going over bridge. Took it to dealership they won't be able to look at til next week.

Driving my F250 with 20k miles. Going about 60-65 mph on the highway. Traffic slows ahead so I apply light to medium pressure on the brakes and the steering wheel starts shaking violently. Pressing the brake harder or none at all had no effect. It stopped shaking so bad once under about 40. Very scary. I heard about this but have never experienced it. I have a message into my dealer, but now that I read online about all the complaints, this is a very serious safety issue and should be addressed. These are way too heavy of a vehicle to be on the road with this type of safety issue. Please look into it.

Death wobble

I was driving on the freeway (75mph) and my truck went into a death wobble. The whole truck was shaking like all 4 tires went flat. I immediately tried to slow the vehicle down and pull over. Luckily there was no traffic and I did not cause an accident. Once the vehicle slowed down to about 20mph it smoothed out and no longer wobbled. This happened on the 16th of November and hasn't happened since.

While driving my 2019 F250 (which has just over 6,000 total miles on it at this time) at highway speed towing an empty trailer (which I have had for several years and towed with several vehicles before) the truck started shaking violently! I could hardly control it and had to dramatically slow way down to get the violent shaking to stop. This happened 4 times on two trips in the last couple weeks with two different trailers. It is definitely the truck and not the trailers. Fortunately no cars were immediately next to me or the results would have been tragic. The truck is essentially new, has been stored indoors all the time, very well maintained, no accidents or abuse so no reason it would be having any issue much less such a severe one.

Driving at posted limit on I55, left front hit small bump in road and front end shook violently for about 20-30 seconds. Steering damper replaced 5 days later, per TSB 21-2173, but no root cause indicated. Concern that this may lead to injury until fully repaired.

16,000 miles . Experienced a significant shaking wobble after hitting rough patch on bridge at 70 mph. Had to slow almost to a stop for it to subside. Has happened 2 more times in last week. Very scary and dangerous. Someone will die because of this.

Violent shaking of the steering wheel occurs randomly. Sometimes applying brakes , other time when hitting a bump in the road

On 12/5/21 - at approximately 11:00am, I driving my 2019 Ford F-250 towing a utility trailer and an ATV. My speed at the time was 60 mph, and I have 41,211 miles on the truck. As I started to make a lane change the steering wheel started to violently shake, and the entire front end of the truck started to violently shake as well. It was all I could to do keep from crashing into another vehicle. Fortunately, I was able to slow down and pull off of the roadway before causing a traffic accident. It was an extremely stressful and scary situation! When I arrived home I googled the situation I had experienced to see if there might be an explanation as to why this had occurred. I was shocked to learn that what I had experienced (“The Death Wobble”) had been well documented, that Ford had known about the problem for years, and there was a class action lawsuit had been filed. I am making this complaint hoping either a recall is issued or Ford will do the right thing and correct the problem ASAP.

This 2019 Ford F250 has a classic case of the "Death Wobble". Anytime the vehicle is travelling over 50 mph and hits a bump the truck shakes violently. It shakes bad enough to throw the contents of the door pockets throughout the interior. It is extremely dangerous when this occurs travelling on the crowded freeways of South Florida where I live and work. This is not an unknown condition of Ford trucks. A simple google search produces pages and pages of documented incidents.

While driving down the highway my truck started to violently wobble. Once I slowed down it went away. This has happened a few times now and I understand it has been revered to as the death wobble.....

Vehicle begins violently shaking as described as the Death Wobble at highway speeds in excess of 50mph, after crossing onto uneven pavement, or driving through a rough patch in roadway, or bridge expansion joint. Steering wheel vibrates back and forth and steering becomes unresponsive and speed must be decreased immediately to regain control of the vehicle.

Driving 75mph on freeway and front-end started shaking violently 2019 ford f250 could not be controlled almost caused a collision.

The truck started shaking uncontrollably while we were on the highway (65 mph).this has happened before for short periods of time, this time was much longer and scarier. It wouldn’t stop until we pulled over on the highway and came to a complete stop. We’ve noticed this happens if the truck is turning and going over a bump. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has not been inspected yet, we left a message at Hiller Ford in Franklin, WI to set up an apt. There were not any warning signs and so thankful that my husband was able to keep the vehicle under control while traveling at high speed.

When driving and hit a bump in the road the truck shuck uncontrollably. Could have lost control of vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the front end of the vehicle drove over a bump on the road and the contact almost lost control of the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle would shake while driving. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment to replace the steering damper. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000.

Mileage: 12,000

While driving down the highway at approximately 60 mph hit a rough area that had just been patched by the highway department and the front end started shaking violently. Could not steer the truck and had to brake to 25mph for the shaking to stop. This has happened four times. The truck was bought in Dec 2019 and has 12,000 miles on it. It has been serviced by the Ford dealership and has all original factory equipment. My safety and others on the highway was put at risk when this happened. No warning at all when it happened. This last event was on Nov 18th 2021.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the front end of the vehicle suddenly began to violently shake and vibrate causing the driver to lose control of the steering wheel and drive off the road. On a separate occasion, the failure occurred while pulling a trailer. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacture was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Mileage: 20,000

At Highway speeds if I hit a small bump in the road it causes the front suspension to shake or Wobble to the point where I cannot stear. This has happened many many times.

While driving 65mph and passing a slower vehicle I hit a minor uneven spot in the road. The steering wheel started violently shaking and almost caused me to lose control of the truck. I was able to slow down and pull to the shoulder. This is the 3rd time it has happened to me with this 2019 F250. The first time it happened I was headed home from vacation. The next day it happened again. I reported to Ford and they replaced the damper assembly. This last time was the most violent event. I reported on this website as well. 1st event was approximately at 12,000 miles. This time at 24,000 miles. I bought the truck new in 2019. This happened both times without warning. I can’t get it into dealer until 12/06/2021.

My truck (2019 F250) shakes violently on highway after hitting any bump going over 55mph. Truck had the customer satisfaction program repair (20N04) done in April 2021. Truck is un controllable when it is shaking like this. Truck won’t stop shaking until reduced speed to approx 40-45mph. No accident has occurred to this point. Truck is up repaired at this point.

While driving on an interstate highway at a speed of 75 MPH the steering wheel begin to shake violently along with the dash and loose objects in the cab. The violent shaking continued until I came to a complete stop. This happened 3 more times on this day and along the same stretch of highway. This happened at a steady speed with no application of brakes or change in direction.

Minor imperfections on highway , going 55-70 mph,causing violent shaking .Have to slow almost to stop to get shaking to stop.Shaking is serious enough to get someone killed.(perfect description is death wobble).PRoblem has been occurring since approximately 5000 miles,bought vehicle new.

Front end of the vehicle violent shakes after hitting a small bump on the highway. Unable to get the truck to stop shaking until I stop the vehicle.

We were on our way home Saturday and hit a small bump on the bridge and the front end started shaking out of control the whole truck was wobbling. We had to slow down immediately almost to a stop. It was a scary moment I’m glad no other vehicles were around us when this happened!!

loss control of vehicle after hitting a bump on the highway causing truck to bounce into highway barrier. - life threatening causing bodily harm. - just happened , haven't notified dealer yet. - no components inspected yet. -no warnings.

This vehicle suffers from the Ford death wobble on the freeway when driving with the flow of traffic. We were traveling south on I-5 and hit some bumps on the road which began the process of the whole truck shaking. The steering wheel went out of control and the whole body was visibly shaking. There were no accidents but we had to pull off the freeway and stop the vehicle. I have a video of the incident if needed.

Front end began shaking violently at 70mph after going over a rough bumpy patch. Pulled over checked lug nuts (all tight). Started driving and happened again at about 60mph, very violent front end movement again with a series of small bumps. Got off turnpike and drove slow with no issues. Was able to recreate the wobble a third time at about 60mph in a safe area. Going straight each time. Vehicle is uncontrollable when it occurs.

Driving on freeway at 80mph posted idaho freeway speed went into voilent death wobble front end head shake which sent me into center median out of control it started from going over overpass i e bridge so voilent it thru my hands from steering wheel until i could get it under control.ford first said it was a recall for steering dampner then changed it over to warrenty work haven't been on freeway since with it nervous might do it again and might not get has lucky next time ford tells me its all good with the new steering stablelizer also the problem ruined tires dont feel like being a crash dummy for ford so im staying away from freeway for as long as i can help it definite problem .

I was driving north on US 521 between Sumter and Rembert, South Carolina. Without warning, my vehicle began to violently shake. I held on tightly to the steering wheel as it was almost uncontrollable. It was an extremely scary situation as I could hardly maintain control among passing cars and a narrow road shoulder. I braked slowly, pulled partially off the road (extremely narrow shoulder after curb), and engaged my emergency flashers. As I was getting out my truck, I assumed I had one or both front tires were flat. Upon inspection, none of the tires were damaged/flat. I then returned to the truck and drove very slowly (30 MPH) to the post office in Rembert, SC to inspect underneath the truck to see if anything was loose or broken. Nothing was found during visual inspection. I had approximately 20 miles to go before I could reach my home; thus, I drove slowly. Upon arriving home, I called my local Ford dealership and told them what happened. They stated Ford had issued a memo stating if anyone had this problem to replace the steering damper/stabilizer. I have an appointment for this November 6, 2021. Later that day, I began researching all the Ford and diesel forums to see if anyone had this same experience. I was amazed how many truck owners had the same occurrence while driving and the condition had a name; the DEATH WOBBLE. I have been researching the death wobble for the past few days and every site/forum came to the same conclusion: replacing the steering damper/stabilizer is only a Band-Aid fix. The problem will reoccur within a few months. Most recommended changing to upgraded shocks, dual steering dampers/stabilizers, and a new front end alignment. Ford has only issued a memo, no recall; therefore, if I had not experienced this I would have never known. I tow a 40 ft 5th wheel and I do not know if I can trust this truck. What would have happened if I were towing my camper? Something must be done before someone is injured or dead.

Major Death Wobble. Could not brake on the interstate. Going 70mph.

Today while driving on the highway at 75 miles per hour, the front end of my vehicle suddenly started violently shaking. It felt like a blow out had occurred on both front tires. The entire front of the vehicle shook like an earthquake, and the steering wheel shook so hard that I had difficulty holding onto it to control the vehicle as I slowed to a stop. It was difficult to hold it straight, as not to allow it into the other lane. There were no warning lights or notifications on the dash. I got out and walked around to inspect the vehicle, and there was nothing apparently wrong. I continued driving, and within a 400 mile trip, this same event occurred 3 times. The truck is well aligned, as I can generally remove my hands from the steering wheel and it remains moving straight forward when driving. The tires have a good tread, and they have appropriate air pressure. This was the 1st time I’ve ever experienced anything like this in a vehicle. After I got home from the trip, I researched online and learned that many people have experienced such events in the Ford F-250 and F-350. They refer to it as the death wobble. It seems negligent of Ford to refuse to recall these vehicles or the parts that need to be replaced. If I had been on an interstate highway when this occurred today, I would very likely have had an accident.

Severe "death wobble" condition occurred on highway.

Severe shuddering in the steering after encountering a rough road surface at 65 mph. Heavy braking was required before safe control of the vehicle was obtained at less than 50 mph. Some milder shuddering has occurred at speeds less than 50 mph. The vehicle had 41,000 miles on the odometer when this occurred so normal wear and tear should not be the cause unless the OEM components are defective. The truck is available for inspection and my local dealership has been notified.

violent front end shaking made the vehicle go out of control on a freeway

I was driving down the highway going 75mph and hit a slight bump on the overpass and my vehicle began to shake very violently. I had to come to a complete stop in the middle of the highway with people flying by me. There was no shoulder for me to pull over and it was by far one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve been apart of in a vehicle. This is known as the Death Wobble and it’s a huge safety issue. There was no warning and I had to think quickly on my feet. Luckily my family wasn’t with me.

I have experienced rapid, violent vibrations in the front suspension (aka "death wobble") in my 2019 Ford F-250 numerous times. I have taken it back to the dealership (Loveland Ford) where I purchased and have my vehicle services through. It started with less that 10,000 miles on it. Ford came out with a recall to replace the steering dampener and Ford has replaced it twice, have done an alignment on the vehicle. It seemed to have been better but I don't drive the interstate that often anymore and have since experienced it a number of times. Ford now tells me they have done everything they can but I just experienced it again and I have just under 30,000 miles on this truck. I am sure you are aware of the concerns but if not, just google death wobble, 2019 Ford F-250, I am not the only one. This is very concerning to me because each time I have had to slow down from 75 to 35 to get it to stop and my concern is this is going to cause and accident or vibrate so violently that it will cause a crash.

Vehicle has 19,600 miles and recently when entering Interstate and going over a rough area on the highway at 60 - 65 mph the front end steering started a very violent shaking causing the vehicle to be hard to control and forcing me to slow down so rapidly it caused other vehicles behind me to have to swerve to keep from running into the rear of my vehicle. The shaking stopped after I came to a stop on the side of the road and has not happened again but have only driven a few miles since this occurred.

When driving at highway speeds (45mph plus) the vehicle has twice begun to shake/shudder violently when going over a bump. When this occurs, the only option is to slow down and pullover as quickly as possible whereupon the shaking subsides. All tires are inflated to the proper PSI and the vehicle was not being used for towing when this occurred. The vehicle only has 30,000 miles and has been taken into the dealership per the maintenance schedule for inspection and maintenance.

Death wobble. Driving at speeds over 50 mph and hitting a bump the truck has now 3 times gone into the death wobble. Truck/steering wheel starts violently shacking and does not stop until the truck comes to a complete stop. Last date occurred is listed below.

On going problem: When driving at speeds above 45mph should you happen to hit a slightly recessed manhole cover or defect in the road the steering wheel shakes violently and rapid deceleration is the only cure, applying the brakes has no effect. On a back road I travel frequently, when void of traffic I 'let go' of the steering wheel while hitting a slightly (approx 1-1.5") manhole cover, the truck immediately veered to the left into the oncoming traffic lane. Again no traffic at the time. The wobble of the steering wheel is violent, and cannot be corrected by turning the steering wheel, only slowing down. Personally I feel the adaptive steering is partially to blame. My 2012 F250 with old fashioned steering never had this issue. Please note you only allow one incident date. This started when the truck had about 12,000 miles on it, at that time it was a slight shaking which has grown into an all out loss of control

While driving at highway speed (60-65MPH) on interstate highway, upon entering upon a bridge or overpass (and crossing over a small bump at the beginning of same), the front-end began to shake violently; said violent shaking only stopped after brakes were slammed on and speed was reduced to a crawl. This happened three times on a recent trip. Vehicle has been properly maintained, last serviced at Ford Dealer on 7/14/21. I experienced "death wobble" as described in hundreds of other complaints. Fortunately, I grip the wheel tightly and did not run off the road. This condition (apparently well-known to Ford) put my life and my wife's life in danger, as well as that of anyone driving behind me. Why hasn't NHTSA recalled this vehicle when this exact problem has been documented hundreds of times?

Experienced what I would characterize as a life threatening experience in my 2019 Ford 250 pickup. While passing another vehicle on AZ 77 my steering went into a violent shuddering causing me to lose control of the vehicle and causing me to have to reduce my speed ASAP immediately in front of the vehicle I had just passed. I managed to safely pull to the shoulder/ditch and inspect the truck. I did resume my trip as I could not find obvious damage to my truck. I decided to see if I could replicate the shaking but at a much lower speed and I was able to do so. First incident was at about 70 mph and second was at about 55 mph. I looked on the web for reports of this happening to other owners of Ford 250 trucks and it was rife with reports. The phenomenon even has a name. “The Death Shudder” Aptly named I would say. All required maintenance has been performed on the truck but FMC has not agreed with it being a design issue. Numerous blogs exist suggesting fixes but none from the manufacturer.

My vehicle was included in the recall for the steering damper. In May of 2021 I had the Ford dealership inspect my vehicle and they changed the steering damper as well as the drag link. On 22 Aug 2021 I experienced the well known death wobble while driving approximately 70 mph. I had limited control of the vehicle and attempting to brake increased the initial shake. All I could do was ride out the shake, fortunately traffic was very light and not a factor on the interstate. Until I was below 40 mph I did not feel it was safe to even attempt to change lanes and pull over to the break down lane. Had there been more traffic and I been required to brake I do not believe that would have been possible, or had I been in a turn at the time of the incident I do not think I would have been able to maintain my lane or stay on the paved surface.

Driving down highway at approx 70MPH, hit a slight bump in road and violent shaking started in steering column. Had to slow to 30MPH to stop it. Slowly accelerated again, got up to highway speeds, hit another slight bump in road and violent shaking started again. This happened 1 more time. All in 3 times in a space of 10 minutes.

I experienced a severe front end wobble while driving my vehicle under normal roadway driving conditions.

At high speeds after hitting bumps, repairs in highway. front end severely shakes "death shake" as described by other Ford owners. This is very scary and very dangerous. A major re-call should happen. It happened with grand children in truck (they screamed)---also towing horses ---and a couple of other times.

Experienced extreme steering wheel oscillation at 45 mph on freeway on-ramp. Oscillation was so extreme I had to pull off freeway and stop to regain normal steering control. Went to Ford dealership and they informed me I experienced the “Death Wobble “ That was the first time I had heard of the Death Wobble. Dealer replaced front steering dampener and recommended other linkage components be replaced. Steering Stabilizer was replaced under warranty 20NO4. Truck had 17429 miles. So after doing research on this I have found that it is a common problem from 2005-2019 Ford trucks and there has been no recall. This is a huge safety problem. Talk to a dealer service manger and explain you had extreme steering wheel oscillation on your Ford truck and they will say you have the “Death Wobble “. Not sure what would happen while towing a 10,000 lbs fifth wheel rv.

There is what I would call violent shaking of the vehicle which causes loss of control and difficulty steering. One specific instance this week caused our F250 to jolt into the opposite lane. Thank goodness there was no oncoming traffic. This has been happening for about a month now at any time and under typical driving conditions and speed. Of course we just past our 36,000 mile warranty. This is of great concern for fear it may cause an accident and hurt us, as well as others on the road. Ford should issue an immediate recall for all trucks affected.

While driving at highway speeds ~60-65mph through Arkansas on interstate 30 south bound hauling a Palomino - Puma 6,868 lbs. dry weight RV had wife and 3 young kids with me. I was in the left hand lane, I passed over a rough stretch of road and at this point the front end started to violently shake. The steering wheel was uncontrollable, I lost control of the vehicle and was pulled into the other lane. Thankfully no one was in that lane and I was able to apply breaks and bring the vehicle to a safe stop on the side of the highway. I checked the tires thinking I had a blow out but everything was ok on the vehicle. After finding no issues I attempted to take off again catching back up to traffic although a little slower as that was a very scary previous experience. I was driving for a few minutes ~55-60mph when I again hit a rough section of the road and the same thing happened. This time I was in the right lane and the vehicle was pulled uncontrollable into the left lane. Again thankfully no one was around me as I had just hit a open section of traffic. I was finally able to bring the vehicle to a stop again on the shoulder and found no issues with the truck. After this I continued to drive much slower back to Texas to get home. I researched the issue and came across the Ford "death wobble" issue and after watching a few videos on youtube of this problem, i realized this was exactly what I experienced except for the fact that I was also hauling an RV during the issue. I am very lucky to be alive given that I was hauling an RV and had just entered a open stretch of traffic in both cases or I would have taken myself and at least 1 or 2 other drivers off the road. I am currently attempting to get the vehicle into the Ford service center. No initial warnings the onset of the incident happened very quickly.

4 times in the past month I have experienced the "Death Wobble" at highways speeds in my vehicle. All 4 times have been travelling around 70MPH and is set off from hitting a pot hole or where road construction was going on so there were imperfections in the pavement.

Our 2019 F250 at approx 20000 odometer miles, while driving on I-25 in Denver driving home from a wedding, with my wife and 7 year old in the vehicle, we were doing approx. 50mph the steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably, the whole cab of the truck seemed to violently shake. We quickly slowed down in traffic causing other vehicles to go around us. The shaking stopped and the truck seemed okay. We had to drive home to Washington state that day so we kept going. It happened twice more, both times we were going approx 50mph and we hit a bump. Both of those times we got over and slowed down until the shaking stopped.

While driving on the expressway at approximately 65 mph, I hit a pothole and vehicle started shaking violently. The steering was uncontrollable as I released the accelerator and nearly caused an accident on the highway. If my spouse or other family member was driving, I do not know how the situation would have turned out. I do not feel safe in this vehicle until a permanent fix is found.

Hit a bad spot in the road and the front end goes into a violent shake. It’s referred to as the Ford death wobble and they know about it but won’t do anything. My wife will not drive the truck because it’s happened to her several times. Please help

The truck has the wobble of death, aka wobbles violently on speeds over 55 when you either hit the brakes or when it hit a bump. I have dealership has resuraced the rotors 2 times already, and issue still continues.

While driving at a speed around 50 miles an hour on a well surfaced mountain road the steering wheel began to viberate to the extent that the truck could not be controled. I momentarily lost control of the vehicle and it crossed the center line into the oncoming lane of traffic. Fortunately there were no on coming vehicles or an accident would have happened. Over the next two days the same steering viberation occured.

While driving my 2019 Ford F250 at approximately 55-60 mph, the steering wheel began to shake and wobble violently from side to side. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop(luckily there were no vehicles following us at the time). I felt that I was going to lose control of the vehicle and possibly roll over and there was no warning that this was about to happen. After exiting the vehicle and doing a walk around inspection, I determined that I would not call a tow vehicle and continue with my trip, depending on the wobble being gone. The vehicle had approximately 40,000 miles on the odometer at the time. Two days later, I took the truck to a Ford dealership, where the Service Dept. admitted that they have had the same problems with with many Super Duty trucks similar to mine. They inspected and replaced the steering dampers and stabilizer arm and stated that this had fixed the problem on many other Super Duty trucks. I have not had any recurrence of the issue as yet and am hoping the problem is solved, although I have my doubts.

I was driving 60 miles an hour and I hit a pot hole and the truck went into a “death wobble”. It started to shake extremely violently that I thought I was going to crash and die. My arms hurt so bad from trying to hold on to the steering wheel for dear life. I managed to come to a complete stop but not before I almost [XXX] my pants from fear. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

The truck at highway speed started to shake violently to the point that I could not steer it. I had to slow down in traffic to a point where the shaking subsided. Very frightening experience. We were not sure if we were going to crash in heavy traffic.

Driver hit a pothole in the road while driving at approx. 50 mph and the steering wheel started shaking violently. Driver slowed down immediately and the shaking stopped. Driver later went over a railroad track on the hwy. and reported the steering wheel started shaking violently again and the driver couldn't control the steering of the truck as it veered off the hwy. and almost hit a metal light post in the median of the hwy. The driver was able to apply brakes to stop since there was no traffic behind him. The driver and his passengers were not injured but scared (of course). There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the incident. The earliest appointment we can get with an authorized Ford dealer is over a week away. The problem will be checked out at that time.

Beginning at 18,000 miles on the truck, the front end would begin to bounce and vibrate at speeds over 55 mph is I hit even minor bumps in the road. The vibrations would seem to build on themselves until the truck was violently shaking and the steering wheel was uncontrollable. By 20,000 miles this was occurring at lower speeds as well.

While driving on the interstate between 60 to 65mph truck would experience an uncontrolled wobble of the front end. Vehicle would become unstable at speed, and immediate deceleration would have to occur to recover from this. This would occur at random times, of either hitting a bump in the road, or change in road surface. My safety and safety of others was/will be put at risk but this unexpected and uncontrollable vehicle reaction. Vehicle will be taken to dealer to be inspected for issues. Vehicle is a 2019 with only 11,000 miles on it. No warning lights, messages or symptoms before and during incidents. First appeared this week while driving on interstate. Did research about this and appears to be called "Death Wobble"

The steering vibrates when I go over 50mph when I hit a bump or groove. I made an appointment at the dealership to get it inspected but they found nothing wrong with it. I am putting myself, my family and others on the road when it starts vibrating beyond my control. I have to reduce my speed almost to a complete stop which makes it dangerous on the highway. I took it to another service center and they told me the problem was called “death wobble”. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other then the dealership service center. There was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to malfunction. Started happening out of nowhere.

Multiple incidents have occurred when the truck begins to shake severely after hitting a bump or uneven pavement. The shaking has been so aggressive that I was forced to immediately brake and pull to the shoulder. The shaking or “wobble” creates a major safety concern as steering and braking are strongly affected. When it happens, it is the most frightening occurrence in a vehicle that I have ever felt and strong concerns for my passengers and my safety is in question.

While driving posted speed limit ( 75mph ) on highway in Texas. Vehicle went into a almost uncontrollable bouncing / shaking cause Vehicle to bounce / shake violently across the center line. I immediately reduced speed by letting off accelerate. Grasped firmly ahold of the steering wheel & basically " hanging on " till Vehicle stopped bouncing / shaking violent @ about 50mph. Fortunately no Vehicles were in the other lane however the vehicles behind me were affected. Going from posted speed limit to 25mph below as soon as I could.....obviously caused them so to respond. This " Death Wobble " as I found out created a very dangerous situation. For not only me but others as well. I experienced this 4 more times on this highway in Texas and twice on a highway in Illinois. Both had similar road conditions ( slightly wash boarded ) but Vehicle responded all times in the same violent shaking and bouncing to a point of almost losing control of the vehicle. Upon returning to Arizona - I reported issue at Horne Ford / they scheduled a appointment to look at the vehicle. This is scheduled for 7/20/2021@ 0900.

Experienced twice today the Ford Death Wobble with the front end of our 2019 Ford F250 Lariat Off/Road addition when going over a bridge expansion joint between 40 and 55 mph. The truck is a little over 2 years old with approx 31k miles on it. We were able to slow the truck down enough to stop the wobble.

My wife and I were travelling on Interstate 81 between our home in South Carolina to Maryland over the 2021 July 4th holiday. My wife was driving, at highway speed of about 75-80 mph. The truck travelled onto a bridge/overpass and when it exited the bridge, at the joint where it meets the road surface again, the truck experienced a small bump. Immediately, the he suspension on the front end began to vibrate violently , and this vibration travelled into the steering column. My wife was quite panicked and held onto the steering wheel with a death grip. The shaking was so violent, and accompanying noise so loud, I worried we had flattened all the tires. I instructed my wife to begin to slow and pull over to the shoulder. The shaking continued, and eventually she was able to exit the road onto the shoulder where she stopped the truck. She put the transmission in park and I got out to inspect the truck. No tires showed any indication of damage, nor did any of the suspension or steering components that I was able to observe. We drove on the shoulder for a little bit, and the vehicle operated normally. We got back onto the roadway and there was no vibration at all. My wife slowly worked her way back up to highway speeds, and no vibration. Over the remaining 15 hours of traveling that weekend, the violent vibration occurred two more times, both while travelling above 75mph and after going over a bump or groove in the road. This has never happened before in many interstate trips where speed was high. The truck is 2019 with about 26000 miles on it.

On multiple occasions, driving down the highway the steering and front tires begin shaking uncontrollably and I have to stop the vehicle to stop the shaking. It is a very disturbing experience and seems very unsafe. We replaced the front shocks and this did not resolve the issue.

@ 70 mph on a major hwy after crossing over a bridge expansion joint my front end began to shake violently (death wobble) nearly having little control until I broke to 20 mph when the front wheels regained proper composure. I was fortunate that no one was following me in my lane and I know I scared the [XXX] out of a driver on my left as he saw the whole incident (slowing down and putting on his 4 ways) It scared the [XXX] out of me leaving me unsure of the security of my 70k truck. This has continued to happen several times while traveling rural roads with uneven (patchwork) pavement. Anything uneven roadwork seems to want to set it off. I have made an appointment to have the extended warranty to replace the steering dampener on July 9, 2021 @ dealership. This seems to be a band-Aid on the overall front suspension issue that Ford doesn’t seem to want to address (ongoing issue since 2005). I have read where the steering dampner has helped for a couple months only to return. And be it noted that when I first started to sense the instability of the front end (not quite the “death wobble”) I was told by the dealership upon an oil change and complaint about the issue (April 2021) that it was just the design of the suspension on the F250. They did check for wear and loose parts and found nothing. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving my 2019 F250 on a 2 lane highway at a speed of approximately 55 mph. I hit a bump with the left front tire. It wasn't a huge bump but it was a noticeable one. Both of my front tires started shaking violently and my steering wheel started shaking so hard that I could not hold it steady. I honestly thought my wheels were coming off. I hit the brakes and my truck crossed the center line and came to a stop. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic. I called the Ford dealership and they immediately said that I needed a steering damper. They also told me about the term death wobble which lead me to this website. I have the repair schedule, I hope that fixes it. It could have been terrible if I had been pulling a trailer or had oncoming traffic

When I make a slight turn and apply the breaks at highway speeds the steering wheel begins to violently shake. This first began with about 5000 miles on the truck it has been to 3 different dealerships over the last year trying to get it fixed.

Death wobble occurred over 50 mph after hitting bump while slightly turning left on highway

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle started to violently shake causing the contact to swerve into another lane. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the drag link rod, the rod assembly, loose inner tie rod ends and the steering damper assembly needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,400.

Mileage: 27,400

Travelling 75 MPH on interstate (posted speed limit). entered onto a bridge and the front end started shaking violently, from the wheels all the way up to the steering wheel. Truck was hard to control and I had to pull over and reduce my speed to 20 MPH to stop the violent shaking. I was in the #1 lane and had to pull over across the #2 lane to reach a usable shoulder. Traffic was heavy and I became an immediate hazard to motorists around me. The truck has 29,000 miles on it.

On the morning of June 18, 2021 while my pregnant wife was driving down the highway our 2019 f250 began to violently shaking to the point she believed she was going to lose control of the vehicle with her and our three kids in the back seat. Luckily she made out of the Highway safely only to be stranded for over three hours. The vehicle was towed to Peques Ford where hopefully the can determine the malfunction/defect in a timely manner due to the fact that she is now stranded 8 hours away from our home in Florida. From research and from a gentleman that was driving beside my wife when the malfunction occurred believe that it’s what some people call the Ford “death wobble.”

Death wobble. Took it to the dealership and they “fixed” it. That fix lasted about a month.

At highway speed if I hit a bump on the road or was in a corner the steering started shaking very violently. Had to emergency brake down to 25-30 mph before it corrected. Happened 4 times on a 250 mile trip on 6/5/21 and once on a 250 mile drive on 6/6/21. The condition put us at risk of losing control of the truck and possibly crossing the center line and hitting oncoming traffic. This just occurred so the truck has not been inspected. There where no warning lamps or messages sent. The truck has 16600 miles on it and is available for inspection.

Experienced front wheel oscillation or "Death Wobble" . This occured at 70 MPH treveling on a straight portion of interstate highway after crosing an expansion joint between bridge and road

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at various speeds over potholes, the front end of the vehicle would shake uncontrollably. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed with the steering dampener needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer two months later where the steering dampener was replaced again. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

I was driving on route 78 East from Pennsy to NJ 5/27/2021 just crossed into NJ carrying a load of about 1400 pounds in bed of truck had cruise control set at 65mph when all of a sudden front of truck started to shake VIOLENTLY. Steering was shaking, dash board shaking and front of truck shaking. Had to almost go on the grass median because could not get over to right side lane because I was in the middle lane when this happened. All tractor trailers were on the side of me on right side lane so I was able to get over to the fast left lane and head into grass median when it stopped after I got down to 40 mph or less. With cars and trucks flying by me since I was only doing 40 mph in a 65 mph zone. Was able to get back over onto the far right lane next to the shoulder and started driving at 60 mph when all of a sudden it started to do it again. It stopped doing it again and was able to get back home 45 miles away from the initial incident. Got home and called Ford IMMEDIATELY to bring truck in. Truck only has 19000 miles which it turned on that hell of a scary trip. I could have killed myself or others the way I lost control of the steering. I couldn't even put my flashers on because I needed 2 hands on the wheel at all times during this incident. Truck is now at Ford dealership 6/1/2021 for service of this. NO lights or messages came on during this incident.

Hit small bumps and the front end start shacking like a death wob you have to get on the break’s hard to control the vehicle Only have 16,000 miles on it

Traveling on i75 trading around 75mph, I am not sure what happened, but the truck started shaking violently. The steering wheel want shaking and was stiff to move, but I was able to get off the road and stop. After looking at the truck, nothing was wrong, I continued down the shoulder to see if the problem happened again. Since then it has not come up, but I am worried this might happen when I am hauling my 10k 5th wheel camper. After research, this issue looks to be the death wabble of the front end.

On numerous occasions while traveling at speeds at or above 50 mile per hour upon encountering a bump above grade or a pothole in the roadway surface the steering wheel shakes in a harmonic vibration that can only be stopped by drastically decreasing speed. The shaking has becoming a serious safety hazard. I purchased the vehicle one year ago with 19,000 miles indicated on the odometer, it now has 30,000 miles indicated and the steering shake has become a safety hazard. Ford has only acknowledged by offering an increased warranty of the steering dampener. The problem is much worse than a defective steering shock. Recently I encountered this problem in a construction zone and it nearly caused a multi-vehicle crash involving not only my vehicle but tractor-trailer rigs as well. Ford needs to address this problem that is well documented and has been named the “Death Wobble” BEFORE the name is well earned.

When driving I came across a rough patch in the roadway. I was doing about 60- 65 mph when suddenly the front end starting shaking. I had to grab the steering wheel with both hands and apply the brakes to gain control of the vehicle

AFTER DRIVING OVER BUMPS ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK START SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 15 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP.

While accelerating onto onramp on IH35 South of Ft Worth my truck went over a small bump. Speed was approx 65mph at that point and a violent shaking started. I pulled over and slowed and it stopped after I slowed to approx 40mph. I got out and inspected but found nothing. I got back to hwy speeds and about 20 minutes later hit another bump in hwy. Same issue: Violent shaking of front end/Steering Wheel. Luckily I was in far right lane and was able to control vehicle until I could slow enough to make it stop.

THE TRUCK REACTS VERY STRONGLY WHEN DRIVING 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR POOR ROAD SURFACE. THIS RESULTS IN STEERING PULLING TO ONE SIDE/VEERING, EXTREME VIBRATION AND SHAKING THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK. I HAVE TO HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE AND LIFT THE FOOT OFF THE GAS WHILST IT SETTLES DOWN TO DRIVING SMOOTHLY AND BACK IN CONTROL AGAIN. ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS REFERRED COMMONLY TO 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND MAKES ME CONCERNED RE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT / NOT BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED 6-8 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS SINCE MAR 2021 - IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE WITH A ROUGH SURFACE.

I WAS DRIVING ALONE E ON IL RT 64 AT ABOUT 2:45 PM WHEN I HIT A SERIES OF BUMPS ON ROAD THAT MADE THE FRONT END SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO BRAKE AND SLOW TO UNDER 20 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. AGAIN LATER THAT NIGHT AT ABOUT 8 PM COMING S ON IL RT 2 WITH CRUISE SET AT 55 MPH IT HAPPENED AGAIN HAD TO BRAKE/SLOW TO UNDER 20 MPH AGAIN. THIS TIME MY WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW WERE WITH TO EXPERIENCE IT. I HAVE NOTICED FRONT END BEING A LITTLE WISHY-WASHY AFTER HITTING BUMPS BUT THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO STIFFER SUSPENSION AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS THE CASE. VEHICLE HISTORY SO FAR- PURCHASED USED FROM WICKSTROM FORD. WENT THRU THEIR USED CAR INSPECTION BEFORE I COULD PURCHASE IT- NEW REAR TIRES AND BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ALL AROUND. WILL TRY GETTING IN TO HAVE CHECKED OUT AND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR STEERING DAMPER PERFORMED. HAVE PUT LESS THAN 600 MILES ON TRUCK SINCE PURCHASING.

I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN 4/24/2021 AND 4/25/2021. IT IS VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION AND TRUCK VIBRATION. IT HAPPENED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 65-75MPH. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 32000 MILES ON IT. FORD HAS RECALLED THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPENER. I'M AFRAID THIS REPLACEMENT WILL ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO COVER COSTS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. I PLANNED ON KEEPING THIS TRUCK FOR A WHILE BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOWING MY GOOSENECK TRAILER, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT COULD HAVE INJURED OR KILLED MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OR OTHER MOTORISTS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT, BUT I CAN'T UPLOAD IT HERE. THE FORD TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS THE WORST HE HAD SEEN.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT MANY REFER TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING WHEN TOWING MY CAMPER WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE TRUCK. HITTING A BUMP OR SEAM IN THE ROAD AT OR APPROACHING HIGHWAY SPEEDS SENDS THE TRUCK STEERING INTO A VIOLET SHAKING THAT CAUSES ALMOST A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NOT COVERED AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE NUMEROUS STEERING COMPONENTS ON MY 2019 F250 WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY LET ALONE OUR MONTHLY BUDGET. IT APPEARS FORD IS PUTTING CORPORATE PROFITS OVER THE SAFETY OF ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MPH, HIT A ROUGHER SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY. I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 35 AND IT WENT AWAY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT NOW HAS 32,000. I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND IT IS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE."

Mileage: 18,330

TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, I CROSSED A SMALL BUMP IN THE INTERSTATE WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO START SHAKING VIOLENTLY, I TRIED TO CONTROL THE TRUCK BUT WAS LOSING CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I THEN HIT THE BRAKES TO DECELERATE THE TRUCK AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT NEEDED TO. THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS UNDER 35MPH I HAD TO GET INTO THE LEFT EMERGENCY LANE TO AVOID CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW MOMENTS TO GATHER MY SELF UP GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK CHECKED ALL 4 TIRES TO VERIFY NONE WERE FLAT AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH BACK TO MY RESIDENCE, WHERE I PARKED MY TRUCK UNTIL I DELIVERED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY MORNING TO ASSES THE TRUCK AND ALLOW THEM THE OPPERTUNITY TO MAKE NESSECARY REPAIRS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK. THE FIRST SCENARIO WAS PULLING A CAMPER ON THE INTERSTATE APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND REGAIN CONTROL AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A STEERING DAMPENER AND CHECKED ALL SYSTEMS FOR PROPER FUNCTION. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED CORRECTLY BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE MULTIPLE FACTORS CAUSING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AS THE DEALERSHIP CALLED IT. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO CORRECT SOLUTION BUT MORE OF A TRIAL AND ERROR FIX.

I HAD A 2006 F250 SUPER DUTY WITH ONLY 120K MILES ON IT THAT WAS A DIESEL THAT HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE. FORD'S FIX FOR IT WAS TO SEND ME A LETTER SAYING TO SLOW DOWN AND MASH ON THE BRAKES. I FINALLY SOLD THAT BECAUSE IT ALSO HAD MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEMS AS WELL FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT A 6.2L 2019 F250 NEW BECAUSE I WANTED A RELIABLE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL ACROSS STATES WITH MY FAMILY AND DOG. JUST HAPPENED TO ME 3 DAYS AGO WITH EVERYONE IN THE TRUCK AND IT WAS MUCH MORE VIOLENT. LUCKILY I HAD A PLACE TO PULL OVER ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND DID NOT GET IN HEAD ON. PRETTY UPSET WITH FORD AS THEY KNOWINGLY SELL THESE TRUCKS WITH EXISTING ISSUES THAT ARE DANGEROUS. TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND PLACES THE PEOPLE INSIDE IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN ME DONE TO STOP THE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. THIS IS KNOWN TO MANY AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AND SHOULD DEALT WITH. THIS TRUCK WAS MOVING AT SPEED OF 60MPH ON A FLAT, STRAIGHT, SMOOTH ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-90 IN OHIO AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, I STRUCK A SMALL POTHOLE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I BUMPED THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING GOT EVEN WORSE AND STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO STOP. I DROVE THE TRUCK AFTERWARDS APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES HOME. I WAS CAREFUL TO AVOID BUMPS OR HOLES, BUT BRIDGE SEAMS CAUSED A SIMILIAR PROBLEM MANY TIMES, ALTHOUGH NOT AS VIOLENT AS THE FIRST TIME. FORD HAS A SERVICE NOTIFICATION THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT FEEL LIKE A DAMPENER PROBLEM. I'LL ALLOW THEM TO DO IT, BUT SUSPECT I'LL HAVE MORE ISSUES.

Mileage: 30,000

TWICE NOW WHEN WE HAVE BEEN ON I75 IN BRANDON, FL , WE CAME OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AT 60 OR 65 MPH AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND HORRIFYING. BOTH TIMES WE HAD TO PULL OVER ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO COMPLETE STOP. WE THOUGHT WE HAD LOST THE TREAD ON A TIRE OR HAD SOME OTHER TIRE ISSUE. WE DIDN'T. WHEN WE STARTED AGAIN, THE TRUCK DROVE FINE. IT HAS ALSO BECOME SLIGHTLY UNRESPONSIVE GOING BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY PREVIOUSLY BUT I HADN'T CORRELATED THE EVENTS. I HAVE NOW SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE STEERING DAMPENER ISSUE. OUR DEALERSHIP IN FT MYERS, FL WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL 5/6/21.

THIRD INCIDENT OF VIOLENT SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60-70 MPH. ALL THREE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER GOING OVER RELATIVELY SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD, PERHAPS 2-3 BUMPS, ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING 2 OF THOSE INCIDENCES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DURING THE MOST RECENT ONE YESTERDAY (3/11/2021) WHILE I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE NO LONGER WANTS TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND DOES NOT WANT ME DRIVING IT EITHER. I HAVE ALSO HAD A HANDFUL OF SITUATIONS WHERE IT WILL BEGIN JUST SLIGHTLY AND I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. HOWEVER, IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE BUMPS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WITH ALMOST 100% PREDICTABILITY. I AM A PRIOR FEDERAL AGENT AND HAVE BEEN TRAINED FOR TACTICAL DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WITH THAT SAID, THE SHAKING AND LOSS OF CONTROL EXPERIENCED ON A ROUGHLY $75K VEHICLE THAT IS AROUND A YEAR OLD IS NOT ONLY RIDICULOUS FROM A PRODUCT STAND POINT, BUT ALSO, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN TERMS OF PASSENGER SAFETY. OUR CHILDREN WERE WITH US ON 2 OF THESE OCCASIONS. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE RATTLING, OR SHAKING. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN AND IT IS A VIOLENT WOBBLING OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK, NOT JUST THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION AND IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AND ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. IN ONE INCIDENT THE DRIVER OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TO MY LEFT WAS GLANCING OVER AT ME AS I SLOWED DOWN DURING THE VIOLENT SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THE DRIVER ALSO HAD A VERY CONCERNED LOOK AND EXPRESSION OF PANIC, UNDOUBTEDLY WONDERING WHY A NEW TRUCK WOULD BE WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGH SPEED DOWN A FREEWAY. TRUCKS IN PARTICULAR SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE MORE RUGGED THAN OTHER VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM SEIZES AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE IS ALSO PUZZLING.

THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP GOING AROUND 60MPH. HAPPENED 3 TIMES. FORD HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT BUT IT HAS NOT WORKED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED TO AROUND 15MPH.

PURCHASED NEW, AT 9,000 MILES WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, CAUSING TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO RAPIDLY DECREASE SPEED AND PULL INTO GRASS MEDIAN AS TO NOT GET STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. FORD SERVICE REPLACED FACTORY STEERING DAMPER WITH ANOTHER OEM FACTORY STEERING DAMPER UNDER WARRANTY AND ALIGNED THE VEHICLE. NOW AT 21000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, ON (8) SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD, WHILE TRAVELING OVER 55MPH THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IS TO REDUCE SPEED AND STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE FACTORY OEM STEERING PARTS, BUT HAS NOT YET PROVIDED GUIDANCE ON A PERMANENT FIX. THIS ISSUE WITH FAULTY OEM PARTS WILL SOON CAUSE THE LOSS OF LIVES IF A REMEDY IS NOT FOUND. I HAVE A BRAND NEW TRUCK I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE OR ALLOW MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN.

ON NO LESS THAN 10 OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS REFERRED TO FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS " STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION", ALSO KNOW AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SERVICED AROUND 16K MILES UNDER WARRANTY WHERE THE STEERING STABILIZER OR STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED. AT 38K MILES I HAD THE SAME VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THE SAME FORD DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS TOLD THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 25 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITHOUT ANY REPAIRS OR RECOMMENDATIONS MADE. THE DATE WAS 1/28/21 IN SERVICE AND 2/2/21 IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES WITH 1 "DEATH WOBBLE" EVENT. THESE EVENTS ARE HAPPENING AROUND 70 MPH AND HAS ON SEVERAL EVENTS LED TO ME HAVING MINIMAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 45 MPH WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE POINT WHERE THE WOBBLE STOPS. THE DANGERS INVOLVED WERE/ARE THE SUDDEN ONSET OF THE WOBBLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT OUT OF ITS' LANE AND INTO THOSE LANES SURROUNDING IT. ALSO OF DANGER IS THE SUDDEN SLOWING DOWN OF THE VEHICLE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CAUSING THOSE BEHIND ME TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TO AVOID HITTING ME IN THE REAREND OF THE TRUCK OR THE TRAILER BEING TOWED.

WHILE DRIVING AT REGULATED HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL DEVELOP A VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHEN ANY "NORMAL" ROADWAY BUMP OR HOLE IS STRUCK. THE TRUCK LUNGES VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL. RAPID DECELERATION IS REQUIRED BY REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR & GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED MUST BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN AN ESTIMATED 20MPH AND SOMETIMES STOPPED BEFORE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPS. INTERSTATE TRAVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE AS MOST ROADWAY IMPERFECTIONS CAN CAUSE THIS VIOLENT SHAKING WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION AND MERELY REPLACED A FRONT STEERING STABILIZER WHICH ONLY REDUCED THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. FORD TECHNICIANS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AND ONLY CITE THAT THEY WILL ONCE AGAIN REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS ARE SEEING SERIOUS PREMATURE WEAR/DAMAGE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE FATALITIES...AND MOST LIKELY HAS IF PROPERLY INVESTIGATED DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS APTLY NAMED "DEATH WOBBLE" THIS PROBLEM HAS NOW CONTINUALLY OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS ON A NEW F250 WHICH HAS 18,XXX MILES. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH ONLY 13,XXX MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND SENDS CUSTOMERS BACK ONTO ROADS WITH A VEHICLE WHICH IS UNCONTROLLABLE IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS... AND WILL RESULT IN LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2020 & CONTINUES TO DATE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT A SPEED OF 50MPH AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR FROM 55 -70MPH

TWO WEEKS AGO, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING THE NOTORIOUS 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHICH CAUSES THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE NECESSARY PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR AN UNSPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE PART BEING DELIVERED, AND I'VE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. IT'S STILL UNKNOWN AS TO WHEN THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE. ON 1/7/20, I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY HOPING THEY COULD PROVIDE MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS REGARDING THE SHIPMENT OF THE PART. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO INFORMED ME THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES OTHER THAN CONTINUE CHECKING IN WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DUE TO THE UNKNOWN TIMEFRAME AND POTENTIAL DANGER, I ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVE IF FORD WOULD REIMBURSE ME TO INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET STEERING DAMPER AND LABOR FOR INSTALL. SHE TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD DECLINE MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE TRUCK HAS 23,000 MILES AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY 70 MILE PER HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF HITTING THE BRAKES SO SUDDENLY TO TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND I TURNED AROUND AND WE WENT DIRECTLY BACK AND HAD THEM PUT IT INTO THE SHOP TO DETERMINE WHAT REPAIRS THAT WERE NEEDED.

HE SAID THIS IS PART OF THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM IN THE F250. FOLLOWING THE RESEARCH AND HAVING RIGHT AT 100K MILES IT'S DISHEARTING THAT FORD IS IGNORING A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECT. IT'S HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. 55 TO 75MPH FORD SENT ME A RECALL ON THE STEERING STABILIZER. BUT AFTER INSPECTION MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT. TIE RODS AND OTHER COMPONENTS LIVE A SHORTENED LIFE. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT HE DOES THIS REPAIR OFTEN FOR A LOCAL COMPANY BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT WARRANTY IT.

WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR IRREGULARITY ALONG THE INTERSTATE, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70 MPH AND ABOVE), THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND STEERING COLUMN SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. I EXPERIENCED THIS EVENT TWICE ON A RECENT TRIP OUT OF STATE, WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT A MECHANIC SHOP, AND DESCRIBED THE EVENT TO THE MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F250, AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MEASURES THAN CAN BE IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE THE ISSUE WITH THE FAULTY FRONT END SUSPENSION AND DESIGN, THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER FORD F250 OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ARE PUTTING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, AND AND OTHER HIGHWAYS TRAVELERS IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE, AT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. AS FAR AS VIDEO DOCUMENTATION OF THE INCIDENT, PLEASE GO TO YOU TUBE, AND ENTER FORD F250 "DEATH WOBBLE". YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS EVENT. IN SPEAKING WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE F250S WERE RE-DESIGNED IN THE YEAR 2020, AND THAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE.

TWICE THIS PAST WEEKEND, I EXPERIENCED WHAT THE DEALERSHIP CALLS "DEATH WOBBLE". THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER UNEVEN ASPHALT. THE FIRST OCCURENCE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 75MPH AND THE SECOND TIME WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH. IT FELT LIKE THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO SHAKE ITSELF APART AND I HAD VERY LITTLE STEERING UNTIL I SLOWED THE TRUCK DOWN BELOW 20MPH. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I WAS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE (AND I DON'T SCARE EASLIY IN VEHICLES). AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH SUPER DUTY FORDS. SURPRISED THIS IS HAPPENING TO A TRUCK WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT! I AM SCHEDULING A TIME FOR THE TRUCK TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN YOUR HANDS, YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SLOW DOWN AND WAIT FOR IT TO STOP. NOT VERY SAFE WHEN YOU'RE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED WAS NOVEMBER OF 2019, 29400 MILES. THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS UNTIL JANUARY TO PUT ON MY TRUCK.

THIS OCCURS ON WELL PAVED ROADS, HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. WHEN SEARCHING FOR WHAT THE CAUSE MAY BE FOR THIS ISSUE, I FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS ABOUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS DEFINITIONS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS OCCURRING WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE 2019 TRUCK FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT.

TODAY I HIT A POTHOLE WHILE GETTING ON THE ONRAMP TO THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD 2 18 WHEELERS BESIDE ME AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME APPROACHING FAST. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SHOULDER WHILE ALMOST GETTING RAMMED IN THE REAR. SAME DAY I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING 70 MPH AND WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO VIDEO THE INCIDENT.

TRUCK HAS 26,600 MILES, TIRES ROTATED FROM NEW PER MANUAL AT FORD DEALER. TIRE PRESSURES AT SPEC. NORMAL TIRE WEAR. 90% PAVEMENT DRIVEN. ON FAMILIAR TWO LANE PAVED STATE ROAD DURING CLEAR WEATHER WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 70-75MPH UPON HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN OSCILLATING AT A HIGH RATE WITH MY COMPLETE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ROAD HAD A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO MANIPULATE THE TRUCKS DIRECTION CAUSING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE TO LEAVE THEIR LANE INTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID COLLISION. IMMEDIATELY UPON THIS HAPPENING I LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND DID NOT APPLY THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL FURTHER WITH A VEHICLE ONCOMING. ONCE THE VEHICLE PASSED I FIRMLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND UPON SLOWING TO ABOUT 40-45MPH THE TRUCK SELF CORRECTED AND I REGAINED FULL CONTROL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOW 3-5 DEGREES OFF CENTER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK WHEN DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK EXHIBITED THE WOBBLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-75MPH AFTER HITTING MINOR POTHOLES AND BRIDGE APPROACHES AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN A NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERS SERVICE ADVISOR SAID I HAD EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPNER AND RE-ALIGN THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS IS THE TOTAL SOLUTION AND I AM VERY SKEPTICAL OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER ROAD I AM NOT SURE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME.

IT HAPPEN AROUND 1815, WHEN I EXPERIENCE THE DEATH WOBBLE, THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND IT WAS FELTED ON THE FRONT END OF MY FORD F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. IT OCCUR AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR. WHILE DRIVING ON THE OVER PASS OF THE FREEWAY AND GOING OVER THE GROOVE IN THE ROAD. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING INCIDENT OF ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. IF THEIR WHERE LOTS OF VEHICLE ON THE ROAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I TRY TO STOP AND MADE MATTERS WORST SO I QUICKLY LET IT SLOW WAY DOWN UNTIL IT ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. TODAY I CALL THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS. THE DEALER NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SATISFACTORY WAY TO END THE PROBLEM. BEFORE LIFE ARE LOST. THANKS

ONLY 16,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. IN THE LAST WEEK THERE HAVE BEEN 4 INCIDENTS. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS 60-75MPH I EXPERIENCED A SEVERE SHAKING AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT DEFECT IN THE ROAD. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED(TONIGHT), THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT MY TIRES STARTED TO SCREECH AS THE TRUCK SHIFTED VIOLENTLY LEFT TO RIGHT. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER BECAUSE I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN SO THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. I OFTEN HAVE MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND I AM SO FORTUNATE SHE WASNT WITH ME TONIGHT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS CALLED "THE DEATH WOBBLE." PEOPLE WITH THESE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE WEB. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY CONCERN. NOT TO MENTION AFTER SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THIS HAS TO PUT TREMENDOUS STRAIN ON OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE TRUCK CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE, IF NO ONE HAS ALREADY.

I HAVE ENSURED THAT TIRE PRESSURE IS SET AT WHAT THE VEHICLE MANUAL RECOMMENDS, AS WELL AS ROTATING TIRES. WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" INITIATES, ONLY SLOWING DOWN TO 25 MPH OR BELOW WILL MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-15 BETWEEN SALT LAKE CITY AND OGDEN. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET. DUE TO ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING ON I-15, I HAVE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH IN A LANE WITH BARRICADES ON BOTH SIDES, FORCING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO SLOW TO THE SAME SPEED. I PUT MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON AND DO BY BEST TO SLOW DOWN AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS HAD THE VEHICLE TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SCHEDULED A THIRD APPOINTMENT HOPING THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED THIS TIME. VEHICLE MILEAGE PROVIDED IS APPROXIMATE.

MY FORD F-250 6.7 STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD IF I'M DRIVING FASTER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR

AT 23,000 MILES MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING COMPLETELY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING WAS TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES IN TRAFFIC BEFORE I HIT THE HIGHWAY DIVIDER. MY RESEARCH TELLS ME IT IS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT SHOOK SOMETHING LOOSE IN MY DIESEL ENGINE, BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING NOW. ON THE WAY HOME I STAYED ON THE SERVICE ROAD AND KEPT THE TRUCK UNDER 45 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 45 MILES PER HOUR, SO I STARTED DRIVING AT 30MPH TO TRY AND MAKE IT HOME. IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES AT 30 MPH. I DISCOVERED THAT IT STARTS SHAKING WHEN I GO OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY IT THROWS ME AROUND IN THE SEAT AND I CANNOT HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN IT HAPPENS BEFORE IT WILL STOP SHAKING. ONCE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I CAN START ACCELERATING AGAIN WITHOUT IT SHAKING. AS SOON AS I DRIVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE SHAKING STARTS AGAIN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE I LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, AND I AM A 6 FOOT MUSCULAR MAN. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY I CANNOT HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I BOUGHT A USED 2019 FORD F250 4X4 WITH 19K MILES FROM A DODGE DEALER. IT DROVE FINE ON THE TEST DRIVE BUT OF COURSE, TEST DRIVES ARE NEVER REAL WORLD SITUATIONS. I WENT OUT OF TOWN FOR A WEEK AND THEY DELIVERED IT TO ME THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER THEY DROPPED IT OFF, I WENT FOR A DRIVE. WITHIN 5 MILES FROM THE HOUSE IT WENT INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE. IT WAS BEYOND SCARY! AT THE TIME IT STARTED, I WAS RUNNING ABOUT 70MPH ON A TWO-LANE ROAD. I LET OFF THE GAS AND THAT DIDN'T HELP. I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE BRAKES AND IT GOT WORSE. SO I STOOD ON THE BRAKES AND THAT SHOT ME ACROSS THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE INTO THE DITCH ON THE LEFT. THE TRUCK WAS UNCONTROLLABLE, AND NEITHER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES NOR THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS WERE ABLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I BELIEVE I ALMOST HAD A ROLLOVER. SLIDING SIDEWAYS, I WAS ABLE TO COME BACK OUT ON THE ROAD. I THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR I WOULD NOT BE REPORTING THIS. I AND THE OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THAT CAR WOULD BE DEAD! I CONTINUED ON MY TRIP TRYING TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL. IT HAPPENED SIX MORE TIMES THAT DAY BEFORE I RETURNED HOME, AND I STARTED EXPERIMENTING WITH IT. I CAN RECREATE IT AT ANY SPEEDS FROM 60 TO 80MPH. SINCE I BOUGHT IT AT A DODGE DEALER OVER A WEEK EARLIER, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT TAKING IT BACK. NOW ITS AT A FORD DEALER GETTING LOOKED AT. THIS TRUCK IS BRAND NEW. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS ISSUE AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GET IT FIXED, THEY TRADED IT TO A DODGE DEALER BELIEVING THE DEALER WOULD NOT KNOW. IT WORKED BECAUSE NOW SOMEONE NEW HAS IT AND CANNOT GET OUT OF IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I KNOW FILING THIS COMPLAINT MAY NOT AFFECT ANYTHING, BUT I WANTED TO HAVE A RECORD OF IT.

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE SO INTENSELY THAT I COULD HARDLY MAINTAIN MY GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO SPEAK OF SO I STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN TO SLOWLY APPLY THE BRAKES IN CASE IT EXACERBATED THE ISSUE. THE SHAKING DID NOT SUBSIDE UNTIL I REACHED 40MPH. AT THAT POINT, I CONTINUED ON MY WAY AND RETURNED HOME. BOTH BEFORE AND SINCE THAT ISSUE, I HAVE EXPERIENCE SIMILAR MOMENTS OF SHAKING TO A MUCH LESSER DEGREE THAT I HAD EARLIER CHOCKED UP TO THE SUSPENSION BEING STIFFER THAN I WAS USED TO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT FELT A REPORT WOULD BE PRUDENT DUE TO DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE MALFUNCTION AT HIGH SPEED.

UPON STRIKING THE BUMP, THE FRONT END SUSPENSION BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND VIBRATE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND AT AROUND 30 MPH THE VIOLENT SHAKING CEASED.

I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THIS PHENOMENON AS THE MORE COMMONLY KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY F250 HAS 25,400 MILES ON IT, HAS NEVER BEEN OFFROAD, HAS NEVER PULLED A HEAVY LOAD, AND HAS HAD ALL SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS ~23,500. WHILE TOWING A GOOSENECK TRAILER THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY TOWED SEVERAL TIMES, ON I-74 ON WET PAVEMENT, SPEED 70 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VIBRATION FREQUENCY WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING LIKE 4 HZ. I GRADUALLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE WITH SUSTAINED VIBRATIONS OCCURRING UNTIL SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED ALL TRUCK AND TRAILER TIRES AND THE STEERING LINKAGE BUT I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ABNORMAL. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE TRUCK WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS PHENOMENON REOCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT 15 MILES. THIS WAS EASILY THE MOST VIOLENT SHAKING AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE DUE TO A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. IN WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS, I SUSPECT I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I COMPLETED THE TRIP AT SPEEDS UNDER 60 MPH AND THE VIBRATIONS DID NOT RETURN. ONCE I UNHOOKED FROM THE TRAILER, THE VIBRATIONS RETURNED DRIVING DOWN A TOWNSHIP ROAD AT 55 MPH. EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, IT IS STARTED BY DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FREQUENCY AND AMPLITUDE OF THE VIBRATIONS ARE CONSTANT WHILE DECREASING VEHICLE SPEED UNTIL THE VIBRATIONS STOP, TYPICALLY AROUND 30-40 MPH. TO DATE I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATIONS OF RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PHENOMENON. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM STATED THAT THEY HAD "HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM IN SOME 2017 MODELS, BUT NEVER IN A 2019 MODEL." THIS TRUCK IS PRIMARILY HIGHWAY DRIVEN. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT ANY SUSPENSION COMPONENTS SHOULD WEAR ENOUGH TO CAUSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IN LESS THAN 25,000 MILES. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE.

THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE AT GUEST SPEEDS AND I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROADWAY AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A 2019 FORD F-250 JUST OVER ONE FEAR OLD THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD OR OR MODIFIED . I CALLED MY TIRE DEALER AND HE SAID THIS WAS COMMON. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS ISN'T INVESTIGATED! IT FEELS THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION /STEERING GET IN TO SOME SORT OF RESONANCE THAT BUILDS RAPIDLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED GOES BELOW ABOUT 20 MPH. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED AT GUEST SPEED OF 70-80 MPH. I HAVE AN APPOINT TO HAVE A TORSION BAR PLACED MEXT WEEKEND AS MY TIRE MAN SAYS THIS IS COMMON AND WILL FIX IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY AS MY TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY.

I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND GET OFF THE ROAD THE SHAKING STOPPED. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH ME. RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' LIKE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE TRUCK HAVE EXPERIENCED.

I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK I HAD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP ON A 75 MPH HIGHWAY. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK WHEN THAT HAPPENED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY'LL FIX THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER . BUT THE TIRES NEED TO BE ALIGNED AND THE SHIMS NEED TO REPAIRED ALSO. AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $450. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR FREE THERE IS NO REASON A BRAND NEW TRUCK SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AND THERE WERE NO ONCOMING VEHICLES, OTHERWISE I AM NOT SURE I COULD HAVE AVOIDED A CRASH OR MADE THE TURN.

VEHICLE PURCHASED ON 2/27/20 AT GOLDY AUTOMOTIVE IN HUNTINGTON, WV WITH 19912 MILES. RETURNED TO GOLDY AUTOMOTIVE ON 7/31/20 TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED AND TIRES ROTATED. LEFT DEALERSHIP ON 7/31/20 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM. AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY LEAVING ME UNABLE TO STEER, HAVING A NEAR MISS WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. CALLED MANAGER AT GOLDY AUTO IMMEDIATELY. HE SENT A REPLACEMENT TRUCK TO MY HOME, PICKED UP VEHICLE THAT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND RETURNED IT TO GOLDY AUTO ON 8/1 TO CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR DAMAGE. 8/1/2020, THE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY WAS RETURNED TO ME SAME DAY, ASSURING EVERYTHING WAS FIXED AND IN GOOD CONDITION. 8/5/2020 I DRIVE THE TRUCK, TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALMOST CAUSING YET ANOTHER CRASH. 8/10/2020 I RETURN THE TRUCK TO GOLDY AUTO, WHOM VERIFIED MY CONCERNS, AND LISTED THAT "OUTER TIE-RODS WORN, TRACK BAR BUSHINGS WORN" AND MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPENER. GOLDY AUTO DID NOT TOW THE VEHICLE, BUT SENT ME OUT IN THE UNSAFE TRUCK WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. GOLDY REFUSED TO FIX ANY PROBLEMS, BECAUSE THEY ARENT A FORD DEALER. 8/13/20 I TAKE THE UNSAFE TRUCK TO THORNHILL FORD. I GIVE THEM THE DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT GOLDY AUTO DETERMINED TO BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THORNHILL FORD REFUSES TO FIX ANY OF THE ITEMS LISTED BY GOLDY AUTO, ONLY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPENER, AS INSTRUCTED BY FORD. I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER UNTIL IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACT TO PREVENT IT FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN.

WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS OR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS FRONT SUSPENSION BEING AS RIDGED AS IT IS WILL CAUSE TIRES TO BOUNCE, AND IF YOU SHOULD BE ON A CURVE WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE YOUR VEHICLE TO BOUNCE DRIFT SUDDENLY. THIS EXPERIENCE IS MAGNIFIED WHEN TOWING A VEHICLE WHICH PUTS MORE WEIGHT ON THE REAR AND LESS ON THE FRONT WHEELS BOUNCE DRIFTING HAS BEEN AS BAD AS 12" FROM ORIGINAL POSITION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO SUSPENSION TO NOT BE SO RIDGED WORST ON FREEWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL FORD F250 SUPER DUTY IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ALWAYS DUE TO BAD ROADS OR UNEVEN TRANSITION

WHEN WE TRIED TO SCHEDULE THEM TO BE REPLACE THEY WOULD NOT DO IT UNTIL IT WAS CAUSING AN ISSUE. HAD WE HAD A TRAILER HOOKED UP DURING THIS INCIDENT IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I WENT TO FORD AND TOLD THEM THAT I HAD RESEARCHED THE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD JUST THROWS PARTS AT THEM HOPING IT WILL FIX IT. THESE TRUCK ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF THEY DONE GET IT FIGURED OUT. I NOW HAVE A $50,000 TRUCK SITTING IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE I AM TO SCARED TO LET IT OUT ON THEW ROAD CAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF MY FAMILY OR THE MOTORING PUBLIC.

ON JULY 3, 2020 AT 7:10 AM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 F250 WITH 14,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AS THE PROBLEM IS KNOW. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PATCH ON I45 SOUTH IN HOUSTON,TX. AND MY VEHICLE'S STEERING WENT VIOLENTLY WRONG. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE AS IF MY FRONT LEFT TIRE FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I APPLIED LIGHT BRAKING AS MY VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VEERED RIGHT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS BESIDE ME. LUCKILY THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND LET ME INTO THEIR LANE WITHOUT CREATING AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM COLLIDING INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER ALONG THE FEEDER ROAD. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A BIT OF AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING BUT ONLY THOUGHT IT WAS A STOUT SUSPENSION IN BEING A 4X4 F250 DIESEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE SEEMS TO IN THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND ALIGNMENT FROM THE FACTORY.

THIS IS A NEW 2019 FORD 250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. IN FEBRUARY 2019 TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75 MPH( ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY) & I HIT A GROOVE AND MY FRONT END WENT IN TO A HORRIBLE HEAVY HEAD SHAKE.IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT THIS WAS THE WORST BY FAR. IN DALLAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS HEAD SHAKE IS BY HITTING THE BRAKES HARD. TO DO THAT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC ON ALL SIDES IS HORRIFYING. TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD AND THERE IS A DAMPER RECALL (AMONG OTHERS). THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER. THESE DAMPERS ARE NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A GOLF CLUB. ARE NOT MADE OR RATED TO SUPPORT A TRUCK WITH OVER A 10,000 LB WEIGHT LIMIT. NOW HERE WE ARE IN JULY AND ITS BACK IN THE SHOP. SINCE MARCH THERE HAS BEEN 2/3 MORE UPGRADES TO THIS DAMPER. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG HEAD SHAKE? IT RUINED OTHER THINGS CONNECTED TO DAMPER (DRAG LINK/BUSHING). EVEN WITH THIS NEW UPGRADED DAMPER THEY EXPECT IT'LL BE BACK IN. THEY OFFER A AFTER MARKET " DUAL-DAMPER" (700$) THAT SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND IT SHOULD COME WITH SUPER DUTY PARTS!!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT THEMSELVES AND OR OTHERS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. TRUCK SHOULD BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW, I CALLED CORPORATE TO TRY AND GET THE DUAL DAMPER APPROVED AND I AM ON HOLD. SO AS IT STANDS THIS WILL BE THE 3RD DAMPER THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE GETTING IT IN OCTOBER 2019.

DOING RESEARCH I REALIZE HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS AND INJURIES PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM ON THE SAME YEAR FORD TRUCKS, THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT'S BEEN PENDING FOR A WHILE APPARENTLY.

MY 2019 F250 HAS 21,000 MILES. I PURCHASED IT USED, AND HAVE HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN 2 FAMILY TRIPS ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS- I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' 4 TIMES. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TWICE IN 50 MILES OF INTERSTATE DRIVING. AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH, WHICH IS THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. WHILE DRIVING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT NEAR A BRIDGE OVERPASS, WHICH IS A MILD BUMP, THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE CAB SHAKES VIOLENTLY. EVERYTHING. BACK AND FORTH LATERALLY. IT'S EXTREMELY LOUD. THE TRUCK IS BARELY ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. I HAVE TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AS SOON AS I CAN, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WHILE IN A PANIC SITUATION. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND ACCELERATING AGAIN, DOES THE WOBBLE STOP. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT AND HIT IT WITH BOTH TIRES AT THE SAME TIME, NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S ONLY WHEN THE JOINT IS CONTACTED AT AN ANGLE. WHEN ONE TIRE HITS, THEN THE NEXT, IS WHAT CREATES THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IS DRIVING AT 55MPH, WHICH IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL. *TR

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS OR BUMPS. COMMONLY REFERRED TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE". TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE THE WOBBLING IS GOING ON. MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AND VERY LITTLE ACTION FROM FORD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED AS A DEFECT LINKED TO ABNORMAL WEAR AND/OR LOOSENING OF THE TRACK BAR BUSHING, DAMPER BRACKET, BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, SHOCKS AND/OR STRUTS.

I HAVE RESEARCHED WHAT HAPPENED AND I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THIS PARTICULAR SERIES OF VEHICLES. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PAYING TO TRY AND GET THIS FIXED BUT NO ONE PROMISES A FIX. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR CO. I CALLED THEM TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND BASICALLY HUNG UP ON ME. I'M ALSO NOW AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING ON THIS MATTER. HOW DO I INVOLVE MYSELF IN THAT MATTER? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST WHERE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES AND FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 45-65MPH ON HIGHWAY, TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND ENTIRE VEHICLE WILL WOBBLE AND BOUNCE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND ONLY WAY TO REDUCE THE SHAKING EPISODE IS TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND REDUCE SPEED TO BELOW 10MPH. THIS IS A COMMON FORD FRONT END PROBLEM AND IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND OCCURS IN MOST FORD SUPERDUTYS FROM 2005-2020

Mileage: 3,999

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH 14000 MILES 3 DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS 40MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON ROAD. THE TRICK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I COMPLETELY STOPPED THE TRUCK.

Mileage: 3,300

AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. ANY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT ~55 MPH OR MORE, THIS HAPPENS. TRUCK HAS 25800 MILES. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT UP UNTIL THIS TIME, IT WAS NOT NEAR AS BAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN.

Mileage: 25,800

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH THEN AFTER BREAKS WERE APPLIED THE TRUCK STARTED TO GO INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHICH ALMOST MADE ME CRASH.

Mileage: 14,500

FROM THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 50-70MPH, SIMILAR TO TIRES NOT BEING BALANCED CORRECTLY, AND PLANNED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT ON THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AT AROUND 3900 MILES ON THE WAY HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP I HIT A SMALL INSIGNIFICANT POTHOLE ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 70 AND IT JERKED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE. THAT SAME ROAD TRIP I HIT A SECOND SMALL POTHOLE AND THIS TIME IT JERKED THE TRUCK INTO THE OTHER LANE, LUCKILY NO CAR WAS NEXT TO ME. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE THE ON RAMP OF A FREEWAY, AT AROUND 50 MPH, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT I WOULD LATER FIND TO BE KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT SHOOK THE WHEEL SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS WAS COMING OFF THE TRUCK. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AND THE WOBBLE DISSIPATED SO I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING SLOWLY BACK HOME. I CALLED AND BROUGHT THE VEHICHLE INTO THE DEALER AN HOUR LATER AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE A TSB OUT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. IF THIS IS OCCURING AT 4K MILES THAN IT IS NOT A 'WEAR AND TEAR' ISSUE. THIS IS A PROBLEM DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY AND FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO NOT SELL ANOTHER F-250 OFF THEIR LOT UNTIL THEIR TSB HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND RECALL ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NOW HAS ME FEARFUL OF LETTING MY WIFE AND KIDS RIDE IN THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 3,900

DEATH WOBBLE / SEVERE SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 70 MPH AND HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE PAVEMENT AT A BRIDGE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND STEERING SYSTEM AND WHATEVER ELSE IT TAKES TO FULLY RESOLVE. PEOPLE WILL GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED.

Mileage: 42,000

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 F250 IN JANUARY AND NOTICED AROUND 65 TO 70 MPH THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING BACK AND FORTH I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE STABILIZER SHOCK STATING THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THEM FOR THIS ISSUE. THE TRUCK STILL SHAKES AT 65 TO 70 MPH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX WHAT FORD WILL TELL THEM TO FIX. THIS TO ME IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT THESES SPEEDS A PERSON COULD LOOSE CONTROL AND WRECK

Mileage: 4,000

RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK, LEFT OUT THE DEALERSHIP, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD @ 65MPH AND THE TRUCK BEGAN THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN THE FRONT END AND SHOOK VIGOROUSLY UNTIL I SLOWED TO 45MPH. IT DID IT A FEW MORE TIMES ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALER. TSB#19-2392 WAS USED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR.

Mileage: 31,000

I HAVE THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE ALREADY BEEN SERVICED AFTER 1700 MILES FOR THIS ISSUE AND DON'T THINK IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF A NEW STEERING STABILIZER

THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW, THE LAST TIME I WAS TOWING MY WORK TRAILER. IT SEEMS IT IS ALWAYS AT OR NEAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ONLY IF I HIT SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT OR THE START OR STOP OF A BRIDGE. AFTER I HIT THE ROUGH SPOTS THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY TO GET IT TO STOP, MAYBE AROUND 25 MPH. THE FIRST FEW TIMES WHERE BAD, BUT THE LAST TIME WITH MY ENCLOSED TRAILER I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF I-75 IN FT. MYERS FLORIDA AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS NOT TO HEAVY AND EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. I REALLY LIKE THE TRUCK, BUT I CAN NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AS I AM ON I-75 WITH MY TRAILER JUST ABOUT EVERY WEEKDAY IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SUCH A GOOD OUTCOME IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NORMAL TRAFFIC FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

PURCHASED A FORD CERTIFI PRE-OWNED VEHICLEWITH 35,285 MILES, THE DAY I PICKED IT UP AT ABOUT 60MPH I DROVE OVER A PAVEMENT TRANSITION AND THE TRUCK STARTED TOHAVE SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST GRIP OF THE STEERING WHEEL. BEHIND ME WAS A SCHOOL BUS OF CHILDREN AND NOWHERE TO PULL OFF OR SLOW DOWN ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO GET ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE SHAKING AND THE SCHOOL BUS BEHIND ME HAD TO GET ON THE BRAKES HEAVILY SINCE THE DRIVER STARTED FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD FROM WHAT I AM RESEARCHING IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACT ON THE PROBLEM. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT EITHER FOR THE FORD TRUCK OWNER LIKE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE VACINITY OF ONE OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON.

Mileage: 35,240

I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND AT ABOUT 30MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED AND THEN I PULLED SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE AND THERE APPEARED TO BE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND A SERVICE TECH SAID "IT SOUNDS LIKE DEATH WOBBLE". THAT WAS THE FIRST I HAD EVER HEARD OF DEATH WOBBLE. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP THE TRUCK HOME AT 40MPH AND THEN IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 WEEKS BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AND I CAN ONLY HOPE NEVER HAPPENS TO ANYONE ELSE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRUCK HAS ENTERED A "DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER AND STOP THE WOBBLE BY LETTING OFF THE GAS AND SLOWING TO BELOW 55 MPH. THE LAST ONE (YESTERDAY 25FEB20) NEARLY CAUSED ME TO ROLL THE TRUCK WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH MY TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT ALSO FELT AS IF THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. I DECREASED MY SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND MY TRUCK QUIT SHAKING. THIS HAPPENED ON 02/23/2020. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK.

THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WENT INTO THE LEFT LANE. I SLOWED DOWN AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING ON 02/24/2020. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND MY TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE A DEATH WOBBLE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF MY TRUCK AND IT HAS LESS THAN 7600 MILES. MY TRUCK IS FULLY STOCK WITH THE 18 INCH RIMS AND STOCK TIRES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 F-250 PICKUP ON THE INTERSTATE AND AS I CROSSED A BRIDGE TRANSITION BACK TO THE HIGHWAY THAT WAS FAIRLY ROUGH DUE TO THE BRIDGE SEAM, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70MPH. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND MOVING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VIOLENT SHAKING ABATED AS I SLOWED BELOW 30MPH. I CHECKED OUT THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE TRUCK AND THERE DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING AMISS SO I DROVE HOME AT NO MORE THAN 60MPH AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE SYMPTOMS TO THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HE SAID, "SOUNDS LIKE THE DEATH WOBBLE." I ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT AND HE INDICATED THAT FORD F-250S AND F-350S SEEM TO HAVE A SYSTEMIC ISSUE THAT LEADS TO THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED. AND, HE ALSO INDICATED THAT FORD HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT TO THEIR DEALERS TELLING THEM WHAT TO REPAIR WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION ARISES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT STABILIZER AND ANOTHER FRONT END PART AND RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. IT APPEARS TO DRIVE OK AFTER THE REPAIR WAS EFFECTED. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH OF THE TERM "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF POSTS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS I DESCRIBE ABOVE. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WIDE SPREAD AMONG LATE MODEL FORD F-250S AND F-350S. HAD MY "DEATH WOBBLE" INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY OR WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, I FEAR IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.

I AM HAVING SOME TYPE OF SEVERE WOBBLE STEERING/SUSPENSIONS ISSUE WHERE IT FEELS AS IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS SO SEVERE IT CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I TRIED SLOWING DOWN FROM 70 TO GET IT TO STOP AS I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 25 IT STOPPED. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I TRIED TO GIVE IT ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP BUT IT DIDN'T AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED I GOT A BIT MORE CREATIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THIS GOING UP TO 85 AND THAT DID NOT WORK SO AGAIN GOT IT TO STOP BY REDUCING SPEED TO 20-25. THIS IS UNSAFE TO THE POINT WHERE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT SHOULDERS AS IF THIS OCCURS I MAY HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20-25 MPH TO GET THIS TO STOP. THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY (I-75 IN FL) ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM 3 TIMES OVER THE PERIOD OF 30 DAYS. THE TIRE PSI WAS ABOUT 65-70 ON ALL OCCURRENCES WITH DEALER INSPECTED "GOOD TIRE TREAD". ALL 3 WERE ROUTINE DRIVES TO WORK AND ALL OCCURRED AT THE SAME SPEED OF 70 MPH. ALL OF THEM WERE CRUISING (NOT ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING) AND IN 6TH GEAR IN OPTIMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITH NO LOAD AND ONCE WITH A BUMPER PULL TRAILER (TONGUE WEIGHT OF ABOUT 350-500 LBS, LOAD WEIGHT OF TRAILER+LOAD AROUND 5,000 LBS). MY TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY FORD AND AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH ONLY 13 MILES WHEN SOLD. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAS 0 AFTERMARKET PARTS OR EQUIPMENT AND IS 100% STOCK AND HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES AS WELL (CONTINENTAL W/KEVLAR).

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE. I USUALLY USE THE TRUCK TO TOW A 7000LB RV AND CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I HAD BEEN TOWING AT THE TIME. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY ACTED AS IF IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN A 20 MILE DISTANCE. I WAS TERRIFIED TO CONTINUE WITH MY TRIP AND WAS NERVOUS THE ENTIRE TRIP. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS. I HEAR IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME APART.

FORD PERFORMED THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN REPAIR TO THIS VEHICLE LAST WEEK. THE REPAIR ACTUALLY MADE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" PROBLEM WORSE. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT 60 MPH ON UP, AND AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN ONE TIRE GOES OVER A BUMP OR DEPRESSION IN THE ROADWAY SURFACE. HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM AFTER THE FORD FACTORY REPAIR WAS DONE. THIS VEHICLE IS STOCK AND HAS THE TIRES, WHEELS AND SUSPENSION THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE.

ME AND MY WIFE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 70-80 MPH, AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WOBBLE SIDE TO SIDE, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE. WE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OK, AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. I STARTED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER WE HIT A BUMP GOING ROUGHLY 75 MPH, AND THE TRUCK AGAIN STARTED WOBBLING, I FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WITH 18,862 MILES ON IT, AND CURRENTLY THERE IS 19,541 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I STILL HAVE THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, BUT I FEEL VERY INTIMIDATED TO DRIVE IT, AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AFTER THIS INCIDENT. ALL I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE IS THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF THE FORD "DEATH WOBBLE". I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE CAUSING THIS, BUT IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO SPEND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE DID, ONLY TO FIND IT BEING A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP.

I BELIEVE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE KNOWN 'DEATH WOBBLE'. WHEN GOING 65 MPH OR MORE AND HIT A BUMP WITH A TURN I'D LOSE CONTROL AND MY TRUCK WOULD FEEL LIKE MY FRONT TIRES HAD BLOWN OR SHOCKS HAD FAILED. I'D SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER AND THE TRUCK LOOKED FINE. AT LOWER SPEEDS IT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN. I'VE EXPERIENCED IT TWICE NOW. ALL FORD HAS SAID IS I NEED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER, THAT IS ON BACK ORDER. THEY CLAIM THAT WILL ' FIX ' THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, I HIT A ROUGH PATCH ON HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIBRATING VIGOROUSLY, WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING AND PULLING TO THE LEFT. I STRUGGLED TO CONTROL IT AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, AT AROUND 45-50MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED AND REGAINED CONTROL OF THE STEERING. TRUCK CONTINUE TO HAVE EXCESSIVE SHAKING WHEN HITTING SMALL BUMPS ON HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED ON THE DAY I PICKED UP THE USED TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 37,700 MILES. THE NEXT DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 72MPH AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIBRATING, BUT WAS NOT A VIGOROUS AS DAY PRIOR.

1/31/2020 DRIVING APPROX 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE I HIT A SMALL UNDULATION AND THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO OSCILLATE VIOLENTLY. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN GRIP ON WHEEL. I WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW OR PULL OVER DUE TO TRAFFIC AND GUARD RAILS. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A RIGHT MERGE TO ANOTHER INTERSTATE AND THIS WAS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE. AFTER CLEARING THE GUARD RAIL I WAS ABLE TO EASE TO SHOULDER AND SLOW TO APPROX 20 MPH. THIS STOPPED THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND I REGAINED CONTROL. LESS THAN 1/2 MI LATER I HIT ANOTHER NORMAL UNDULATION AT APPROX 50 MPH AND SAME THING OCCURRED, I WAS TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND SLOWED TO 25 MPH IN CENTER LANE OF INTERSTATE TO REGAIN CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH DENIED EVER HEARING OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS, HOWEVER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH THIS WAS CLEARLY THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE W/ LOW MILAGE AND W/O EXCEPTION EVERY NON FORD SPECIALIST I HAVE SPOKEN WITH IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW AND IF IT HASN'T ALREADY, WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. GIVEN ALL THE INFO AVAILABLE ON THE WEB INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION SUIT, FORD'S DENIAL IS SIMPLY A LIE. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND THIS TRUCK IS MY PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION, AFTER EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" NO PARENT OF SOUND MIND WOULD EVER PUT CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE W/O THIS ISSUE BEING CERTIFIABLY RESOLVED. MY VEHICLE HAS NO AFTER MKT PARTS AND AND VERY LOW MILAGE. I AM STILL WELL WITH MY WARRANTY

MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THREE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURRENCES. ALL WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED MILES OF EACH OTHER. STARTING AT AROUND 22,000 MILES.(NOVEMBER 2019) EXTREME STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION AND UNCONTROLLABLE LANE SHIFTS. THESE OCCURRED AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE OR A SEAM IN THE ROAD. ALL OF MY OCCURRENCES WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO IMMEDIATELY BRAKE HARD AND ATTEMPT TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THE TRUCK WAS GIVEN A NEW STEERING STABILIZER PER THE MOST CURRENT TSB. I PAID TO HAVE THE TRUCK RE-ALIGNED. (ALIGNMENT WAS OUT DUE TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE" JARRING THE FRONT END SO HARD) 4000 MILES AFTER THIS SERVICE, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE "BUMP STEER", HUMPS IN THE ROAD TRANSFER TO THE STEERING WHEEL EXCESSIVELY. THE TRUCK IS ALSO PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT. NOW AT 8000 MILES PAST THE SERVICE THE "BUMP STEER" IS EVEN WORSE. THERE IS NOTICEABLE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOU MUST WORK TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN YOUR LANE. HAVING SOMEONE MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE VISUALLY INSPECTING THE STEERING COMPONENTS SHOWED PLAY IN MULTIPLE LINKAGES. TIE ROD ENDS AND TRACK BAR HEIM JOINT BOTH ARE WORN OUT AT LESS THAN 31,000 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE, AND NOT SAFE. THE STEERING STABILIZER IS A BAND-AIDE TO PUSH ME OUT OF MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. IT IS ON THE EDGE OF FAILING AND SENDING THE TRUCK BACK INTO MORE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY FORD. ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED. INCLUDING TIRE ROTATIONS. IT IS MY OPINION THAT STEERING COMPONENTS FAIL PREMATURELY. THE NEW STEERING STABILIZER HAS NOT REMEDIED THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. IT WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SERVICE. IT WILL NEED AT A MINIMUM A NEW TRACK BAR, TIE ROD ENDS AND AN ALIGNMENT. ILL BE FILING A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM DIRECTLY WITH FORD IF I AM ASKED TO PAY FOR THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN THIS ROUND.

Mileage: 22,000

SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND IT IS STILL DOING IT. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TRY. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED FORD, THEY WERE FAST TO RESPOND TO EMAIL FOR A WHILE BUT HAVE NOT RESPONDED IN THE LAST MONTH. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING, MY WIFE IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT ALL. IT HAS 13000 MILES. I HAVE SAVED ALL EMAIL COMMUNICATION WITH FORD, AND ALL MY DOCUMENTS FROM WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE SERVICE WORK. THEY REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS ON THE FRONT END, THEY WOULD HELP FOR A WHILE BUT THE DEATH WOBBLE WOULD RETURN IN LESS THAN 1000 MILES. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE.

Mileage: 7,500

"DEATH WOBBLE" 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 A CONGESTED FOUR LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED A STEERING MALFUNCTION THAT WAS HORRIFYING. I PURCHASED MY 2019 F250 NEW IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2018. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 21000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST EVENT WHICH OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 2020. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAR LEFT LANE OF A CONGESTED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN THE METROPOLITAN ST.LOUIS MISSOURI AREA. I WAS DRIVING UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT DUE TO THE VOLUME OF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE DUE HAVING NO PLANS TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE FOR MANY MILES AND TO AVOID ALL OF THE VEHICLES SWITCHING LANES TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. THE CONDITION OF THE PAVEMENT DID NOT RAISE ANY OBVIOUS CONCERNS BUT WE HAVE HAD SOME FREEZE/THAW WEATHER THIS WINTER SEASON. I WOULD CHARACTERIZE/ASSOCIATE THE ONSET OF THE EVENT WITH A MODERATE BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT, POSSIBLY A RAISED JOINT FROM THE RECENT FREEZE/THAW WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT WITH THE PAVEMENT DEFECT INITIATED A STEERING BUMP TO THE LEFT TOWARDS A CONCRETE RETAINING WALL AT WHICH TIME I RESPONDED BY INCREASING MY GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL MORE FIRMLY TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE FAR LEFT LANE IN WHICH I HAD BEEN TRAVELLING. THE BUMP STEERING EVENT SPONTANEOUSLY PROGRESSED TO A VIOLENT FRONT END WOBBLE THAT WAS VERY INTIMIDATING TO MYSELF AND MY ADULT SON WHO WAS RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE WOBBLE APPEARED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT LEFT SIDE WHEEL BUT THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS OSCILLATING EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND NAVIGATE THROUGH THE THREE CONGESTED LANES OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER AND THEN AN EXIT RAMP AT WHICH TIME THE EVENT CEASED ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED SIGNIFICANTLY PRIOR TO A STOP. I EXPERIENCED A SECOND SIMILAR EVENT SAT, 2/02/20.

Mileage: 21,000

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 60 MPH, AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT INDENT OR BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO APPLY MAXIMUM BRAKING AND BRING THE TRUCK TO A LOW SPEED FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP AND GAIN CONTROL. THE FIRST INCIDENT STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD AROUND 21,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES ON HIGHWAYS, EXPRESS WAYS & REGULAR ROADS & DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE STEERING OF THE TRUCK HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE DUE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. IT SEEMS LIKE THE EPISODES ARE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERS ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES. THE SECOND DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WERE HAVING TO REPLACE STEERING / STABILIZER RODS.

Mileage: 21,000

THIS VEHICLE HAS A DANGEROUS STEERING CONTROL ISSUE WHEN GOING OVER SLIGHT BUMPS IN THE STREET AT CITY SPEEDS, AND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES MODERATELY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A KNOWN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THE FORD F-250. THE VEHICLE GOES OUT OF CONTROL WITH VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, AND THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT. FORD SEEMS TO BE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM WITH A STEERING DAMPENER, WHICH JUST MASKS THE PROBLEM. THIS 2019 F-250 ALREADY HAS FOUR SAFETY RECALLS, IN ADDITION TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, WHICH HAS NOT HAD A RECALL. AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND POLICE ADMINISTRATOR, I SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NOT FORCED FORD TO ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID STEERING STABILIZER PART IS BACKORDERED. WHAT I HAVE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM IS PARTS DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A MAJOR DEFECT IN AN EXPENSIVE BRAND NEW TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 8000 MILES AND IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT IT WILL DO IT ABOUT EVERY 30 MILES DEPENDING ON HIGHWAY IRREGULARITY.

DEATH WOBBLE! I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. AROUND 20,000 MILES I STARTED EXPERIENCE A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER YOU WOULD HIT A NORMAL BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHICH CAUSES YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ISSUE WOULD OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. THIS CONDITION IS WIDELY KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT WAS REPAIRED AT 20,586 MILES, AT WHICH TIME, THEY SAID THEY ADDED A CASTER ADJUSTMENT AND REPLACED ALL THE JOINTS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN LOOSENED BY THE DEATH WOBBLE. THEY SAID THAT NOW THAT EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND THE CASTER WAS FIXED, THE ISSUE WOULD NOT RETURN. THE ISSUE RETURNED A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER AT 24,929. THIS TIME WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE "OSCILLATING STEERING WHEEL ISSUE" (BECAUSE FORD WON'T ALLOW THEM TO SAY OR WRITE DEATH WOBBLE) ALL THEY DID WAS REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. OTHER F-250 OWNERS THAT I KNOW HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. NOW THAT I'M ON MY THIRD STEERING STABILIZER, I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR AN ISSUE THEY'VE KNOWN OF FOR FAR TOO LONG.

THE NEXT TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED THE VIOLENT BACK AND FORTH (20 DEGREES +/-) TO EITHER SIDE IT SUBSIDED ONCE I SLOWED TO AROUND 40 MPH ON THE SHOULDER. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO THIS TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I FELT LIKE WAS A FAULTY STEERING STABILIZER BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE A JITTER WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS. I WAS INFORMED THE TSB FOR A NEW STEERING STABILIZER WAS ON BACKORDER. I HAVE A 20 SECOND VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING (I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE ONE THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED) BUT IT IS TOO BIG TO ATTACH. PLEASE TELL ME WHO I CAN SEND IT TO.

FORD OF UNIONTOWN HAS SEEN THE VIDEO OF MY TRUCK DOING IT, THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT AND THE ONLY ANSWER I GET IS " BE CAREFUL" AND ONE SERVICE TECH SAID WHEN HE DROVE IT HE WAS AFRAID FOR THE PEOPLE NEXT TO HIM.

2019 F250 KING RANCH PURCHASED NEW IN LATE JUNE 2019. FRONT SHIMMY (ALSO REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE"), STARTED OCCURRING AT AROUND 16,000 MILES. THE FRONT WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING COLUMN, ETC,. WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER PASSING OVER A BUMP, SUCH AS AN EXPANSION JOINT, POTHOLES, OR PAVEMENT OVERLAPS AT 60 MPH OR GREATER. HAPPENS MOSTLY DURING INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY DRIVING. VIOLENT SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL VEHICLE HAS SLOWED TO < 25 MPH. AS SOON AS PROBLEM STARTED, THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PARTS REPLACED AS STATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE DATED 12/10/19. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE PARTS REPLACED ARE STATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE DATED 12/26/19. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 1/14/20. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THEY ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER F250 OWNERS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2017-2020 MODELS. THE PARTS MANAGER ORDERED WHAT HE REFERRED TO AS A "SLEEVE" THAT HE HOPED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER FOR 4-8 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR THE TIME BEING, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

I HAVE NOW SPENT THE LAST 5 MONTHS DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM AS FORD INSISTS THEY CANT GET ME PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCK. I HAVE NOW MOVED PAST FORD AND I AM REPAIRING THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN. AS FOR PAPERWORK ALL I HAVE IS AN EMAIL FROM FORD CUSTOMER CARE WITH A COMPLAINT NUMBER AND ALL CONTACT WAS BY PHONE.

DEATH WOBBLE ON INTERSTATE. UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMP ON INTERSTATE. BARELY HELD IT ON THE ROAD AND THE WOBBLING ONLY STOPPED AFTER WE PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. EXTREME DANGER. HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT THIS LAST TIME WAS VERY SEVERE. FORD HOME OFFICE ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND THE REMEDY IS A STABILIZER BAR WHICH THEY ARE PUTTING ON MY TRUCK TODAY. BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 WEEKS SO WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING BACK ROADS EVERYWHERE. MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. THIS MORNING THERE WAS ANOTHER 250 THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE HAD A VIDEO OF HIS DOING IT. NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IF A BIG F250 WRECKS WE MAY SURVIVE BUT IF WE HIT A SMALLER VEHICLE IT COULD INJURE KILL THEM.

DEATH WOBBLE!! WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, AND THERE ARE SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VERY BADLY. HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING MY TRUCK IN CONTROL. HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SOME, THEN STOP ON ITS OWN, BUT NOT THAT TIME. IF A DEATH WOBBLE CAUSES A ACCIDENT OR WORSE YET, SOMEONE GETS KILLED, FORD WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS. &#128552; THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY (HWY 59 IN FORT BEND COUNTY IN TEXAS.

AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW, 2019 F250 SUPER DUTY, WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEATH WOBBLE BEGAN OCCURRING AT A SPEED OF OR HIGHER THAN 60MPH AFTER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER INITIALLY FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE, WHERE THEY THEN REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AFTER DEEMING IT FAULTY. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, WITH JUST OVER 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE DEATH WOBBLE REAPPEARED WITH MORE SEVERITY AS WELL AS THE BRAKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ESSENTIALLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE. AGAIN, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE BRAKING ISSUE DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND TOLD ME TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW LONG AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES THE ISSUE BEGIN AND THAT THEY WILL WORK ON IT WHEN THEY CAN FIX THE OTHER ISSUE, SO THEY ALSO DID NOT FIX THE STEERING ISSUE WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THEY DEEMED THE STEERING DAMPER FAULTY AGAIN, BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THE PARTS. WELL THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER THAT HAS HAD TO BE PARKED DUE TO IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A BACKORDER. MY SAFETY IS AT RISK EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PARK IT AND I NOW BELIEVE I HAVE A LEMON SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHEN DRIVING AT 50-55 MPH, VEHICLE HAS WENT INTO EXTREMELY VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER DRIVING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN ROAD (IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AND WITH BUMPS YOU NORMALLY WOULD NOT NOTICE OR ADJUST SPEED FOR IN A SMALL CAR). THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED OR CONTROLLED WHEN THIS OCCURS OTHER THAN APPLYING THE BRAKES. TTHE BRAKES DO NOT WORK OR STOP YOU AS FAST AS THEY SHOULD WHEN THIS HAPPENS (I AM ASSUMING DUE TO ALL THE SHAKING). LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT CAUSED ME TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED A HEAD ON COLLISION. IF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE HAD NOT REACTED TO MY TRUCK MOVING IN TO THEIR LANE WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. THEIR HAS BEEN NO RECALL BUT FORD HAS ISSUED A TECH BULLETIN ABOUT THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN LIVES LOST (IF IT HASNT ALREADY). I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR PARTS TO FIX THIS (IVE ALREADY BEEN WAITING 10 DAYS AND FORD HAS NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE AS LONG AS 60 DAYS BEFORE PARTS COME IN (UNLESS I USE LEMON LAWS TO REMEDY IT). HOW MANY 2019 F250S HAVE BEEN IN HEAD ON COLLISIONS THIS YEAR? IS THERE A STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE? HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE ARE 2-3 OTHER TRUCKS AHEAD OF MINE WAITING ON THE SAME PART.

AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WITH MY 2019 F250, AND IT HAS APPROX 8000 MILES ON IT. WENT OVER A MILD BUMP ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY, ROCKING THE VEHICLE SIDE TO SIDE, ONLY STOPPING WHEN I PULLED OVER AT THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE VIBRATES, SHAKES, AND ROCKS ALL THE TIME, WORSE THE FASTER YOU'RE GOING. SPRADLEY BARR FORD DEALERSHIP IN CHEYENNE, WY SAID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER BUT THE PART IS ON BACKORDER WITH 30,000 TRUCKS AHEAD OF MINE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND I HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME WHEN I MIGHT GET IT BACK. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO BE MAKING A GIANT MONTHLY PAYMENT ON A TRUCK THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WITH NO EXPECTED DATE WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN MY PHONE CALLS REQUESTING A LOANER VEHICLE EITHER.

Mileage: 8,000

THE TRUCK JUST TURNED 15,000 MILES AND HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCK TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITH MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK BECOMES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE AND YOU CAN BARELY BRAKE OR STEER WHEN THE SITUATION HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD ASAP AND HOPEFULLY NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE TRUCK NEEDS TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP THE GET THE UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING TO STOP.. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS NO FIX AND THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO GET ME IN TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING A CENTER DIVIDE. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND THE CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE. I FEAR THAT A WRECK IS EMINENT. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. A FIX IS NEEDED ASAP OR FORD NEEDS TO BUYBACK THESE FAULTY VEHICLES.

I HAD TO BRAKE EVEN HARDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I CALLED MY DEALER/SERVICE AND THE TECH TOLD ME "FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE WOULD ORDER THE PARTS!"

Mileage: 12,000

STARTING AT ABOUT 15000 MILES, THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED. WHEN GOING ANYWHERE ABOVE 55 MPH, THEN GOING OVER SEMI-ROUGH ROAD OR HITTING A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON THE FREEWAY, IT GOES INTO THIS DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATES BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES DRAMATICALLY. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20-30 MPH, IT STOPS. SPEED BACK UP AGAIN AND IT STARTS AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS THE STEERING STABILIZER THAT IS FAILING. I HAVE A CASE WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT AT. NO RESOLUTIONS AS OF YET. IT CONTINUALLY DEATH WOBBLES TODAY. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYWHERE ON GETTING IT FIXED BY FORD UNDER THE WARRANTY.

2019 F250 - 28,000 MILES WHILE DRIVE APPROX. 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD, AT WHICH POINT MY TRUCK WENT INTO WHAT IS KNOWN BY MOST FORD OWNERS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" , I HAD TO SLOW TO 45 MPH TO GET MY TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL, THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD REPLACED THE "STEERING DAMPNER" AND CLAIMED THAT IT IS FIXED, FAST FWD TWO MONTHS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, AGAIN AT APPROX. 65-70 MPH THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH FORD, THERE NEEDS TO BE A FACTORY RECALL ON ALL SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SO THAT FORD CAN GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THE LATEST ON 12/28/2019, 3 TIMES ON MY 117 MILE TRIP. ONCE SO BAD, THAT I WAS ALMOST TAKEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND GOING INTO THE MEDIAN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TAKEN TRUCK IN SOON TO HAVE FIXED. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS STATED IN TSB # 18-2268. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, FORD IS ONLY MAKING THE PARTS WHEN NEEDED AND SOME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN WAITING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS.

ON THREE OCCASION NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AROUND 75-80 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS THANKFUL THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE NEXT TO ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT VIBRATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE DRIFTING OF THE VEHICLE INTO OTHER LANES DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOWLY LOWER MY SPEED. AS A RESULT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY THEY FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

THERE IS A SEVERE OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING SYSTEM WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, ETC. THIS IS KNOWS AS DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND CONTROL IS LOST UNTIL THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN SPEED. MINE WILL DO THIS OFTENTIMES AT 40-50MPH AND ALSO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE. FORD HAS BEEN PUTTING "BAND AID" ON THINGS TO GET IT OUT OF WARRANTY. FURTHER, I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A REDESIGNED DAMPER THAT WAS TO COME OUT LAST WEEK. IT WAS SCRAPPED AND SUPPOSED TO START OVER WITH THE VENDOR. THIS IS PER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ADVISOR AT THE FORD DEALER. IT IS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE.

IN ASHEVILLE, NC; DRIVING 2019 F250 ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE, ROUGH PAVEMENT CREATED A SEVERE SHAKING (WOBBLE) TO THE ENTIRE TRUCK. HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST STOP BEFORE SHAKING/WOBBLE CEASED. CHECKED TO ENSURE ALL TIRES WERE INFLATED AND CONTINUED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. AFTER TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 10 ADDITIONAL MILES, HIT A ROUGH BRIDGE APPROACH SLAB WHICH CAUSED THE VIOLENT SHAKING/WOBBLE TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. PULLED OFF ONCE AGAIN AND HAD TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH BEFORE SHAKING CEASED.

Mileage: 20,000

TRUCK EXHIBITED SEVERE FRONT END SHAKING WHILE ACCELERATING AROUND 45MPH. APPROX 6180 MILES ON VEHICLE AT TIME OF EVENT. EVENT OCCURRED ON PAVED ROAD WITH SOME ROUGH PATCHES. SHAKING WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT AND PERSISTED, CAUSING ME TO RAPIDLY BRAKE. SYMPTOMS SUBSIDE AFTER DROPPING SPEED TO 20MPH OR SO. DROVE A FEW HUNDRED YARDS TO SHOULDER. STOPPED AND VISUALLY INSPECTED TIRES AND UNDER CARRIAGE FOR LOOSE HARDWARE. NO PROBLEMS OBSERVED. DROVE ANOTHER 15 MILES TO A LOCATION WHERE I COULD GET UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK TO BETTER INSPECT. FURTHER INSPECTION DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING LOOSE OR WORN.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, WE WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH SEEMINGLY TRIGGERED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL/SUSPENSION. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD TO MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHILE THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUED). THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK AS A CERTIFIED FORD FROM A LOCAL DEALER AT 16,500 MILES JUST 2 DAYS PRIOR. A RELATIVE WAS FOLLOWING US AND FOLLOWED US TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SAID TO ME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. HE IS A HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANIC AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING AND MAINTAINING THEIR SUPER DUTY FLEET. I WAS OBVIOUSLY DRY CONCERNED THAT MY NEW (TO ME) $50,000 TRUCK HAD THIS PROBLEM KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. ANYWAY, WE MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION DRIVING AT 55MPH AND ON THE WAY HOME THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES, NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS EVERY TIME. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND RETURNED IT. THE DEALER WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR THE TRUCK AND REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK. AFTER READING VARIOUS BLOGS, GETTING THIS TRUCK REPAIRED WAS A LONG EVEN AND NO ONE SEEMED TO HAVE THE EXACT FIX. I WASN'T WILLING TO ENDURE THIS AND PHONED MY BANK AND.STOPPED THEM FROM FUNDING THE LOAN. THE FACT THAT A TRUCK HAS AN ISSUE KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A TESTAMENT TO THE DIRE NEED TO FORCE A FIX/RECALL BEFORE THIS ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING ISSUE KILLS. HAD I BEEN TOWING MY DAUGHTER'S HORSE, THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. IT'S BEYOND ME HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL (FORCED RECALL) TO DATE AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A DECADE ON SUPER DUTIES (AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS).

IT'S DANGEROUS AND THE DEALER SAID PARTS ARE IN ORDER BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH AND THAT IT'S OK TO DRIVE. IT'S NOT!!! I LIKE TO GOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE.

ON DECEMBER 21, 2019, THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM 65 TO 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER ENCOUNTERING BRIDGE ABUTMENTS AND TRANSVERSE CRACKING/WEATHERING IN THE PAVEMENT. THE VIOLENT SHAKING COULD ONLY BE STOPPED BY RAPID DECELERATION CREATING EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF AS THE DRIVE AND OTHER MOTORIST AROUND ME. THE VEHICLE HAS 10,300 MILES ON IT. THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AS NOW CALL IT, STARTED OCCURRING INFREQUENTLY AT AROUND 8000 MILES. THE FREQUENCY IS INCREASING WHICH CULMINATED IN REACHING OUT TO NHSA AFTER HAVING IT OCCUR 5 TIMES YESTERDAY.

NEVER HAPPENED THIS BAD BEFORE BUT ON OCCASION WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OVER AN OVERPASS ON A FREEWAY WOULD WOBBLE FOR COUPLE SECONDS AND OUT BRIEFLY LOSE LITTLE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.

THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ON OCTOBER FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND ONLY ON ONE OCCASION. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DECEMBER 18 AND 20TH. THIS TIME 3 TIMES ON THE 18TH AND TWICE ON THE 20TH. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 288 NORTH FROM MANVEL TX TO HOUSTON TX AFTER WORK. WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 65 MILES PER HOUR AND CAME ACROSS AN IMPERFECTION ON THE ROAD, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY, ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MILES PER HR, THIS HAPPENED WHILE TOWING 4 THOUSAND LB TRAILER. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE 18TH AS WE WERE GETTING CLOSER TO HOUSTON. WE WENT OVER ANOTHER ROAD IMPERFECTION AND AGAIN IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKES UP AND DOWN SIDE TO SIDE AND YOU CAN SEE THE TRUCK SHAKE AND TRANSFERS THE VIBRATION TO THE HEADLIGHTS. THE VIBRATION WAS ALSO FELT ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT FEELS LIKE I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. ONLY WAY I GOT IT TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN DRAMATICALLY TO AROUND 40MPH AND BELOW.

I WOULD LIKE TO ALERT YOU TO A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS OCCURRING ON THOUSANDS OF LATE MODEL FORD F250 PICKUP TRUCKS. THE ISSUE IS BEING CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE." THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WHEN THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS POT HOLES OR OTHER IRREGULARITIES SUCH AS RAILROAD TRACKS, IT WILL LOSE STEERING CONTROL WHICH RESULTS IN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIOLENTLY. FORD IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. RATHER THAN ACCEPTING THE PROBLEM AS A DESIGN DEFECT, THEY APPARENTLY ARE ATTEMPTING TO BLAME IT ON WORN STEERING PARTS THEREBY TREATING IT AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM, MUCH LIKE A REQUIREMENT TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES. HOWEVER, IN REALITY THIS IS NOT THE CASE. MY NEW VEHICLE WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 3,000 MILES WHEN I ENCOUNTERED A ROUGH SECTION OF HIGHWAY GOING AROUND A CORNER AND THE STEERING WHEEL NEARLY CAM FREE FROM MY HANDS AND STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING MAKING ME FEEL ALMOST CERTAIN I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS, THE SHAKING STARTED TO SUBSIDE AND I REGAINED CONTROL CURRENTLY, THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO APPEAR WHENEVER I ENCOUNTER POOR PAVEMENT CONDITIONS, IN WHICH I IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO MINIMIZE THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' YOU CAN VERY EASILY VALIDATE MY CLAIM MY DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 'FORD F250 DEATH WOBBLE.' AS I HAVE JUST RECENTLY LEARNED, COUNTLESS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I'VE CONTACTED SEVERAL LOCAL FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND LEARNED THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM THE PARTS ARE ON 'BACK-ORDER.' I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE FEW VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ARE RECEIVING A 'STEERING DAMPER' TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION, IT ONLY LESSENS THE AFFECT.

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME FROM A SHOPPING TRIP LATE ONE SATURDAY EVENING. WE WERE ON A TEXAS FARM TO MARKET ROAD DRIVING APPX. 65 MPH. WE HIT A SMALL ROUGH PLACE IN THE ROAD AND TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES. I HAD TO ALMOST STOP IN THE ROAD BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING, IT WAS UNSTEERABLE WHILE IT WAS SHAKING. WHEN WE FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE FRONT END. I COULD SEE NOTHING WRONG SO WE FINISHED OUR TRIP HOME ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH. WHEN WE GOT HOME I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND OUT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM (DEATH WOBBLE) I DROVE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY HANDED ME A PREPRINTED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #19-2274 DATED 10 SEPTEMBER 2019 AND BASICALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL FORD CAME UP WITH ANOTHER FIX.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A WARM, CLEAR, DRY DAY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD. I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, FRONT TIRE. AT THAT EXACT MOMENT, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO "BOUNCE" RAPIDLY. THE MORE PRESSURE I APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, THE LESS CONTROL I HAD STOPPING THE "BOUNCE". IN ORDER TO GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, I HAD TO SOFTLY APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE, WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING FIRM STEERING WHEEL CONTROL, UNTIL THE TRUCK CAME TO AN ABSOLUTE STOP. ON THAT SAME DRIVE HOME, NOW AT A SPEED OF 70 MILES PER HOUR, AND ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED OCCURRENCE, I RAN ACROSS AN EXPANSION JOINT OF A BRIDGE AND ROAD, THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AGAIN FOR A SECOND TIME. THE SAME MANEUVERS AS PREVIOUSLY STATED WERE USED TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR THIS SECOND TIME. EACH OCCURRENCE TOOK APPROXIMATELY 200 YARD FROM START OF BOUNCE TO COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WAS QUICKLY TAKEN TO A TIRE/ALIGNMENT SHOP FOR REPAIR, IF NEEDED, HOWEVER THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE TRUCK DID NOT NEED AN ALIGNMENT, THOUGH THEY DID ROTATE THE TIRES. THE REPAIR SHOP ALSO STATED THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOW KNOW AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE", AND SUGGESTED REACHING OUT TO FORD FOR SUGGESTIONS.

ON 12/14/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:25 PM CENTRAL TIME, WE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN OUR 2019 FORD F-250 6.2L V8 WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ALONG I-35 IN SOUTHERN KANSAS BY MILE MARKER 31.6, JUST NORTH OF THE KS/OK STATE LINE. THE AIR TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 39 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE BED OF THE PICKUP (WITH TONNEAU COVER) WAS EMPTY AND WITHOUT LOAD. THE HIGHWAY AT THAT SEGMENT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT THERE WAS A REGULAR EXPANSION JOINT ACROSS BOTH LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 77 MPH ON THE OUTSIDE (RIGHT) LANE WHEN WE CROSSED THE JOINT. AT THAT POINT, THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BEGAN. THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL, GENTLY APPLIED THE BREAKS, AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE TOWARD THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE WOBBLE CONTINUED AND DID NOT CEASE UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER GATHER OUR BEARINGS, WE REENTERED TRAFFIC. WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES WE TRAVELED HOME. HOWEVER, ONCE ENTERING OKLAHOMA, WHERE THE HIGHWAY IS SIGNIFICANTLY IN GREATER ILL-REPAIR, THE DRIVER CONTINUED WITH CAUTION AT A SPEED NO GREATER THAN 70 MPH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL.

VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS(70+MPH) WHEN HITTING ROUGH AREAS OR ENTERING BRIDGES. TODAY WE ALMOST HIT A BRIDGE WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE MONTH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED AND FIGHT STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS. VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THIS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH OTHER TRAFFIC. IT BEGAN DOING THIS 6 WEEKS AGO AT NEAR 8,000 TOTAL MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP TWICE FOR THIS IN 3 WEEKS AND IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK MONDAY. THEY REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER THE FIRST TIME, ALIGNMENT THE SECOND TIME, IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FRONT END LIFTED MONDAY. VEHICLE IS 100% STOCK. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND TOLD THEM THEY COULD KEEP IT. IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO FOR US TO TRADE IT WE PLAN ON GETTING A LAWSUIT STARTED AGAINST THEM. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BUT ARE LIMITED BY FORD ON WHAT THEY CAN DO, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY TIMES IT IS BROUGHT IN TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID THEY CAN REPLACE ALL THE PARTS AT ONCE TO FIX IT BUT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BY FORD AND ARE FORCED TO DO IT IN STEPS.

2019 F250, APPROX. 13K MILES. TRAVELLING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY 60-65 MPH AND TRUCK ENTERED INTO THE WELL KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE" OR RAPID, RHYTHMIC, DANGEROUS OSCILLATION OF THE FRONT TIRES CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO 10-15 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES WITHIN 2 CONSECUTIVE TIMES OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE SAME WEEK. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CONFIRMED "DEATH WOBBLE". THE PART (STEERING DAMPENER) THEY AUTOMATICALLY PRESCRIBE (TSB 19-2274) TO FIX THIS IS ON BACK ORDER 4-6 WEEKS AND WE WERE TOLD "NO LOANER" AND BRING THE TRUCK BACK WHEN THE PART IS IN. WE SAID "SO, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE OUR FAMILY AROUND IN A TRUCK THAT IS BASICALLY NEW WITH A DEATH WOBBLE?" TO WHICH THE SERVICE MANAGER RESPONDED "YEAH, I KNOW, CRAZY ISN'T IT?". WE ALREADY KNOW THAT TSB 19-2274 IS A BAND AID AND NOT A REAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. MOST WHO GET TSB 19-2274 DONE ARE BACK WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES OR SOONER BECAUSE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED, BECAUSE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. WE HAVE A VIDEO OF OUR LOOSE TIE ROD ENDS CLUNKING AND LIFTING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED LEFT AND RIGHT. WE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THESE LOOSE PARTS - NOTHING WAS LOOKED AT OR RECOMMENDED TO BE DONE REGARDING THESE LOOSE PARTS. WE HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IN EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN 2017-2019 MODELS. MOST "VICTIMS" OF THIS PROBLEM END UP IN AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH CONTINUING DANGEROUS DEATH WOBBLE UNTIL THEIR WARRANTY IS RUN OUT. THE PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO HAVE REAL SUCCESS IN PERMANENT SOLUTIONS GO AFTERMARKET, REBUILDING THE FRONT END SUSPENSION AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE ON THEIR BRAND NEW TRUCKS. THIS IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAPPENS WHEN GOING ABOVE 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. USUALLY NEAR A BRIDGE OR OVERPASS. THE VEHICLE STEERING BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK BEGIN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 6100 MILES ON AN INTERSTATE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS GOING 70 MPH. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DRY, NO WIND OR RAIN, AND THE ROAD CONDITION WAS SMOOTH. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, IT SURPRISED ME AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE STEERING COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. MY TRUCK VEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TOWARDS AN 18 WHEELER. I MANAGED TO STEER OUT OF THEIR WAY ON TO THE MEDIAN AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. THE SECOND TIME WAS A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS GOING 65 MPH. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO BOB UTTER FORD IN SHERMAN TEXAS AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR LAUGHED AT ME AND TOLD ME I HAD "DEATH WOBBLE". HE WROTE MY NAME IN A SPIRAL NOTEBOOK AND THEN TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. HE STATED FORD HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME BUT THAT MY COMPLAINT WAS IN WRITING AND IF SOMETHING COMES FROM FORD, HE WILL GIVE ME A CALL. SO I ASKED WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE MEANTIME. HE STATED, DO NOT DRIVE OVER 45 MPH UNTIL FORD COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION. THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T CALL IT DEATH WOBBLE, THEY CALL IT STEERING WOBBLE AND THEY AREN'T REAL GOOD AT COMING UP WITH A FIX YET. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 8100 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" AGAIN TODAY WHILE TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF, IT IS A MATTER OF WHEN A PERSON OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY FOR THAT MATTER IS KILLED DUE TO A FAULTY STEERING MECHANISM ON THIS TRUCK. PLEASE HELP US FORD F250 TRUCK DRIVERS THAT HAVE BEEN UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PURCHASE A TRUCK THAT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR US.

THIS VEHICLE AND MANY MORE LIKE IT ARE EXPERIENCING WHAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS CALLING SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION , WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY A DEATH WOBBLE THAT IF NOT GOTTEN UNDER CONTROL IMMEDIATELY WILL LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL, WHICH MAY INVOLVE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, FORD ADDRESS THIS IN TSB 19-2274 HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. . I DO NOT PERSONALLY OWN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES BUT I AS A SERVICE MANAGER AT A FORD DEALER HAVE SEEN THAT PROBLEM FIRST HAND OVER AND OVER . THERE IS NO RELIABLE AVENUE FOR US TO CONTACT FORD FOR THEM TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY SO I HOPE THIS WILL NOT FALL ON DEAF EARS AND ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO PREVENT POSSIBLE WRECKS AND FATALITIES .

PURCHASED THIS 2019 F250 3/4 TON HEAVY DUTY LONG BOX IN MAY. IT HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE 4 TIMES NOW, THREE TIMES INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DRY SMOOTH PAVEMENT GOING AT 65 MPH OR BETTER, ONCE TOWING A LIVING QUARTERS HORSE TRAILER ON ICY ROADS. THE DEALER NOW HAS THE TRUCK FOR AN "UNDETERMINED" TIME AS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE LISTENED TO AND READ A LOT OF YOUTUBE AND THREADS THAT THIS S A MOJOR PROBLEM AND FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DON. THEY ISSUE A RECALL ON A TAIL GATE OR SEAT PROBLEM BUT NOT ON SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THEE FRONT END SUDDENLY BECOMING SO DANGEROUS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND BOUNCING ALL OVER THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT......... WHY FORD THE DEALER INSTALLED AFTERMARKET STABILIZERS, DIND'T HELP, THEN FORD PRODUCT STABILIZERS AND IT STILL DIDN'T HELP, NOW IT'S IN THE SHOP TILL WHO KNOWS WHEN. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF WHEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN.

I NOTICED THE WOBBLING WHEN I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT I WAS TOO BUSY AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT NEED AN ALIGNMENT. IT WAS GETTING WORSE. ON 11/18/2019, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP IN THE INTERSTATE, THE FRONT END STARTED WOBBLING VERY BADLY. I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE OFTEN.I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM. THEY SAID IT WAS A DAMPER ASSEMBLY DEFAULT. THEY TOLD ME THIS DEFAULT DAMPER ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE A RECALL, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED BY THE AUTHORIZED AUTHORITY SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPLACED. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE SINCE I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEFAULT PART IS ON BACK ORDERED. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY. THEY SAID THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL 12/17 OR LATER.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AFTER WE JUST PURCHASED OUR NEW F250 SUPER DUTY WE ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO US AND WENT IN TO A DITCH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF AROUND 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING DOWN THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT MAINTAIN THE TRUCK IN MY OWN LANE ALMOST CAUSING A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HAD TO CALL FAMILY MEMBERS TO COME PICK UP MY FAMILY WHICH WAS 2 HOURS AWAY FROM OUR HOME BECAUSE THEY WERE CRYING AND SCARED TO RIDE IN OUR NEW TRUCK WE JUST PURCHASED. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE SO I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND MADE SURE ALL LUG NUTS WERE TIGHT WHLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. TURNS OUT AFTER RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM!!. I WANT THIS REPAIRED BY A DEALERSHIP BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE AS OF NOW THIS IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE AND COULD GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

UNCONTROLLALBE WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON OVERPASSES,OR VERY ROUGH SPOTS IN THE ROADWAY, OR BRIDGE CROSSINGS. THIS HAS OCCURED TO ME FOUR TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, & AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60MPH - 80MPH. EACH TIME WAS A VERY HAIR RAISING SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. ALSO EACH TIME WHILE TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL YOU HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GET IT TO STOP THE SEVERE WOBBLE, & WHEN I SAY SEVERE WOBBLE IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE GOING TO COME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS PUT ME IN DANGER , BUT IT PUTS EVERYONE ELSE IN DANGER THAT IS AROUND ME AT THE TIME THIS OCCURS. I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IN THE WINTER TIME WE CAN SEE A LOT OF SLICK ROADWAYS, & I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THIS IF IT HAPPENS TO ME IN THESE CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE UNDER GOOD FAITH FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO BE A SOUND VEHICLE, HOW CAN I EVEN PUT MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS IN IT WHEN I KNOW IT MIGHT GET THEM HARMED OR EVEN KILLED IF THIS OCCURS.

WHILE DRIVING OVER 60MPH IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP.

ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TRAVELING ON PAVED ROADS AT SPEEDS FROM ABOUT 50-75 THE RIGHT FRONT (1 TIME, 10/17/19) AND THE LEFT FRONT (4 TIMES, 3 ON 10/31/19 AND 1 ON 11/15/19) TIRES BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE...IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS COMING APART...THIS WAS EVIDENTLY CAUSED/SET OFF BY RELATIVELY MINOR BUMPS/RIPPLES IN THE ROAD. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND DIE OR KILL SOMEONE, BUT FORTUNATELY I'VE BEEN DRIVING OVER 40 YEARS SO I MANAGED TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT IN MY LANE AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY FORD THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A "FRONT DAMPENER" OR SOMETHING..LEADING TO WHAT MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN IS KNOWN AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE"...PERFECT NAME...FORD IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE WITH THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND HAVE A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON "HELPING"....BUT FORD EVIDENTLY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM (THAT'S WHAT THE FORD MECHANIC SAID) AND THEY ARE NOT SHIPPING ANY PARTS TO THE DEALERS....MY DEALER IS WAITING ON ABOUT 10 PARTS PACKAGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WHILE....I AM BEHIND MOST OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE. THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THERE ARE OVER 2,000 PEOPLE WAITING FOR THESE PARTS, I SUSPECT MANY MORE GIVEN HOW MANY ARE A PROBLEM AT THE SMALL DEALERSHIP I USE, WITH ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED ACTUALLY GOING OUT TO DEALERS. IN THE MEANTIME MYSELF AND THE OTHER 2,000 OR SO PEOPLE, AT LEAST, ARE DRIVING THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. PLEASE MAKE FORD OWN UP AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM! IF I COULD I WOULD PARK THE TRUCK AND LET IT SIT, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION...I JUST HOPE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND I KNOW IT WILL, I DON'T GET KILLED AND I DON'T KILL SOMEONE ELSE.

WHILE DRIVING A 2019 FORD F250 XLT 4X4 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND CROSSED A BRIDGE AND WHEN THE TRUCK CROSSED THE EXPANSION JOINTS THE TRUCK GOES INTO A VIOLENT WOBBLE, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY, LIKE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF CONTROL. IN ORDER TO CORRECT IT I HAD TO SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY TO 40 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES TRAVELING FROM KANSAS TO TEXAS. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WITH 18 WHEELERS TRAVELING BEHIND ME AND NEXT TO ME AND IT FORCED ME TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO AVOID A SERIOUS INCIDENT.

2019 F250 PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE AND DROVE IT FOR 5000 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT.

HAD TO VERY SLOWLY DECREASE SPEED TO 35 BEFORE IT WOULD STOP WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STEER DURING THAT TIME. SENT TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A SHOCK ON FRONT STABLIZER WITH HEAVIER SHOCK. PROBLEM CONTINUED WITH VIBRATION AND STEERING AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR DIP USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT NOT AS HORRIFIC AS BEFORE. TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO SERVICE AND I HAD TO ASK DEALER TO CHECK REST OF FRONT END AND WHEELS AND TIRES FOR BALANCE AS THEY TOLD ME FORD HAS NO FURTHER FIX..TWO WHEELS WERE OUT OF BALACE AND WERE CORRECTED BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES AND I WAS GIVEN A LETTER FROM FORD THRU THE DEALER STATING THAT IF A VIBRATION OCCURS BETWEEN 3-5 SECONDS AND RETURNS TO NORMAL THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. I FEEL IF THIS HAPPENS DURING WEATHER CONDITIONS OR WHILE PULLING MY 12,000 LBS. 5TH WHEEL TRAILER A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THIS VIBRATION THAT IS VERY UNCONTROLLABLE. FORD CONTINUES TO DENY ANY PROBLEM OR OFFER FURTHER RECOURSE.

TOOK A TRIP AND SEVERAL TIMES (10+) AT 65-70 FRONT WOULD WOBBLE A LITTLE WHEN HITTING SMALL UNEVEN PAVEMENT. ONE TIME IT WENT INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE AND HAD TO DO AN EMERGENCY STOP INTO THE MEDIAN BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING ITSELF APART. SHOOK SO HARD THE WATER BOTTLES WERE ABOUT TO COME OUT OF CONSOLE.

AT JUST OVER 20K MILES ON THIS TRUCK THAT I PURCHASED NEW ABOUT A YEAR AGO: DRIVING AT SPEED AROUND 70MPH AFTER CROSSING AN OVERPASS ON A NEWER HIGHWAY THE FRONT END SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY STARTED TO SHAKE AND STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER OF THIS MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY AND WHEN GOING SLOW ENOUGH THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. I CHECKED THE TIRES AND UNDERCARRIAGE AND FOUND NO DAMAGE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS FROM VEHICLE. TPMS SYSTEM SHOWED TIRE INFLATIONS BETWEEN 59 AND 65 PSI ON ALL FOUR TIRES. I RESUMED DRIVING AND PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 10 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. I PULLED INTO THE NEXT REST AREA AND DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD SUPERDUTY PICKUPS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE", ALTHOUGH OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS REPORTED. I'VE SINCE LEARNED FORD EVEN HAS A TECH SRVC BULLETIN OUT REGARDING THIS ISSUE (TSB 18-2668). I WENT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THEY GET 4 TO 5 COMPLAINTS A WEEK LIKE THIS. WE TALKED IN GENERAL TERMS UNTIL I MENTIONED I HAD FOUND THE REFERENCE TO A DEATH WOBBLE. UPON HEARING THAT THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT BRING IT UP, BUT NOW THAT I HAD MENTIONED IT THEY WERE FREE TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID FORD HAS A PRECISE SET OF PROCESSES IN PLACE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THEY MUST BE FOLLOWED IN SEQUENCE. THEY SAID FIRST STEP WAS TO CHECK TIRE INFLATION AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY SHOULD ROTATE TIRES. I MENTIONED THAT HAD BEEN DONE AT A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT 1K MILES EARLIER. THEY SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER SO THEY WENT AHEAD WITH THOSE PROCEDURES. THEY ALSO SAID THE PART IN THE TSB WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED ON DRIVE HOME SO PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. HAVE ANOTHER APPT WITH LOCAL FORD DEALER IN 2 WEEKS, HOPEFULLY TSB PARTS ARE IN BY THEN.

AT APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, THE TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING A MINOR "SHUTTER" THAT SEEMED RANDOM. IT WORSENED AT SPEEDS AROUND 70MPH & FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. IT WAS NOT CONSTANT. WHEN ENCOUNTERED, IT COULD BE CORRECTED BY REDUCTION IN SPEED. THE FREQUENCY & INTENSITY OF OCCURENCE INCREASED TO THE POINT THAT IN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES (TYPICAL WAS 2-3 PER WEEK) AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED MY FORD SALESMAN AND HE CAME AND PICKED UP MY TRUCK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED OVER IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT I MUST HAVE GOTTEN SOME BAD FUEL. I DROVE IT AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY LET THEIR DIESEL MECHANIC DRIVE IT HOME OVERNIGHT. HE COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE SHUTTERING CONDITION. I DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER MONTH, EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE EVENTS. AT MY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. A DIFFERENT MECHANIC DROVE IT, EXPERIENCED THE TRUCK SHAKE WHEN HITTING A POT HOLE AND SAID THE STEERING DAMPER WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THE REPLACEMENT CORRECTED THE SHAKING FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK AT WHICH POINT THE SHAKING BECAME VIOLENT WITH EVERY BUMP. POT HOLES, BRIDGE TRANSITIONS, ROUGH PAVEMENT...ALL UNEVEN SURFACES CAUSE AN EVENT, SOME OF WHICH COULD LITERALLY BE DEADLY. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY STEERING ON 3 OCCASIONS AND HAD TO COME TO NEARLY A COMPLETE STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD 4 TIME, CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF ANYONE AROUND ME DURING AN EVENT. I HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THEY CAN NOT FIX IT DUE TO THE STEERING PARTS BEING ON BACK ORDER. THEY ALREADY REPLACED ONCE AND IT LASTED A WEEK. THE BRAND NEW 2019 TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NO ONE CAN FIX IT. THEY INDICATED THEY'RE WAITING ON A RECALL OR BULLETIN TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE A $70K TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE.

AFTER PUTTING 8,707 MILES ON MY NEW 2019 F-250 SUPER DUTY FX4 WITHOUT INCIDENT, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEGUN SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN PASSING OVER HIGHWAY EXPANSION JOINTS AND/OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD SURFACE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR, BOTH TIMES WHILE TRAVELLING BETWEEN 65 TO 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT SECTIONS OF HIGHWAY; ONCE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY, ONCE OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL ONCE THE FRONT SUSPENSION BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND ONLY STOPS SHAKING AFTER BRAKING TO A MUCH LOWER SPEED. LUCKILY, IN BOTH INSTANCES OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WERE ABLE TO AVOID MY TRUCK AS IT DRIFTED ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE ONLY CONTROL I HAD WAS TO BRAKE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE "DEATH SHAKE" ISSUE IN F-250 AND F-350 FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCKS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND I WAS ADVISED TO BUY A 3.5 INCH LEVELING KIT, AND DUAL STEERING STABILIZER KITS AT MY OWN EXPENSE, BECAUSE THE FACTORY FIX OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE FORD STEERING DAMPENER IS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT IN TEXAS), CROSSED ONTO A BRIDGE AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING BACK AND FORTH. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WAS TO SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND ALMOST STOP. THIS WAS ALMOST 10 DAYS AGO ON A SATURDAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. COINCIDENTIALLY, THERE WAS ANOTHER MAN THERE WITH A 2018 F250 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS A 2019 AND HAS 16,600 MILES ON IT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH TOLD ME THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME. HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THE DEGREE OF CAMBER IN THE FRONT END. THEY'VE ORDERED PARTS AND HE STATED THAT HE HAS PERSONALLY REPAIRED OVER A HUNDRED TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE STATED THAT HE WILL "REPLACE THE PARTS AND READJUST THE DEGREE OF CAMBER BACK TO WHERE HE LIKES IT" AND "THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM". TONIGHT, NOV 10, 2019, AS I'M DRIVING TO WORK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON LEVEL GROUND ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROX 25 MPH TO GET THE SHAKING AND OSCILLATIONS TO STOP.

I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS BEFORE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INSPECT MY TIRES. TO MY SURPRISE THE TIRES WE'RE NOT MISSING ANY LUGNUTS AND THEY SEEMED TIGHT, I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAD BROKEN TO MY SURPRISE NOTHING WAS BROKEN.

#1: 2019 FORD F250 TRUCK RANDONLY LOSES CONTROL OF STEALING AND GOES OUT OF CONTROL AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45. THIS OCCURS WHEN SLIGHTLY TURNING TRUCK OR IF HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD SURFACE. #2 LACK OF POWER: DEALER TOLD ME AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE LACK OF POWER PROBLEM THAT EGR VALUE NEEDS REPLACED. THIS WAS AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRUCKS COMPUTER. PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE 9/14/19 (OVER 47DAYS WITH NO ETA ON REPAIR PART). TRUCK IS OUT OF SERVICE AT THIS TIME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, (ABOUT 60 MPH), AND I HIT A BUMP, THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY TO ABOUT 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWICE MORE THAT DAY. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND THEY HAD ME BRING IT DOWN. THE SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTED WOBBLING AGAIN. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT HAD LESS THAN 11,000 MILES ON IT. NOW IT HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY OR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AGAIN BUT EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THIS SAYS THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE HIT THE BUMP, THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT IT FELT AS IF IT WAS "FLOATING" ON THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE THOUGHT WE HAD BLOWN A TIRE, SO WE REDUCED OUR SPEED AND MOVED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS IT TURNS OUT, WE HAD NOT; WE CHECKED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANY OF THE SENSORS INDICATED THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. IT APPEARED AS IF EVERYTHING WAS OKAY SO WE WENT BACK TO DRIVING TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY, THE VERY SAME THING OCCURRED AND AGAIN, WE PULLED OVER. THIS TIME, WE DIDN'T GET OUT TO CHECK THE TIRES BUT WE DID RUN THROUGH OUR SENSORS BUT AGAIN, EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE.

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE BETWEEN TWO SEMIS WITH ANOTHER SEMI CLOSE BEHIND ME. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN SO FAST THE SEMI BEHIND ME LOCKED HIS TRAILER BRAKES AND ALMOST HIT ME.

THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIMMY'S AND SHAKES AND MAKES MY HANDS LEAVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND GOING OVER ROAD BUMPS, BRIDGE TRANSITIONS, ROAD DEFORMITIES. THE DEFECT LEADS TO DIFFICULT STEERING AND INTENSE SHAKING EVEN WHEN DRIVERS ARE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. THIS IS TRIGGERED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ONE OF THE TIRES HITS A GROOVE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, THIS CAUSES A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED BY A SUDDEN REDUCTION OF SPEED, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERAL CAR PILE-UP ON THE FREEWAY BY ME REDUCING SPEEDS FROM 70 MPH TO UNDER 30 MPH IN THE FAST LANE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE AREA.

THEY REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES. I'M AFRAID THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH POSSIBLE DEADLY REPERCUSSIONS. HOW CAN TWO FRONT TIRES THAT WON'T BALANCE CAUSE A SEVERE LATERAL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING SYSTEM?
