2019 FORD F-250 Suspension Problems

Violent shaking when driving at high speeds and after hitting bumps or uneven streets

Unstable control when driving over uneven roads. Are you sure that recall was done on my truck?

While driving on I-44 at approx. 70 MPH (12:30 PM, bright sunny day, lots of traffic), I hit a bump (not large or deep, just your ordinary bump on a U.S. Interstate), the truck began shaking violently (I'm talking hard to control, teeth rattling, I think we are going to crash). The steering wheel shook violently, my wife was startled, I managed to get it down to abut 45 MPH and the shaking stopped. I was 300 miles from home and it happened at least six more times before I got home.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at speeds above 45 MPH, the vehicle experienced the "Death Wobble" after driving over a bump in the road. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the front driver’s and passenger’s side shock absorbers and dampeners. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 25,000.

Mileage: 25,000

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

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?

Since the vehicle was purchased. It has experienced three incidences of the death wobble, which the vehicle was brought in for repairs, all under about 53,000 miles. First incident, the steering damper was replaced, second time just about all the front end was replaced at BOD ford in Lee Summit MO, and the third they said that they could duplicate and everything is tight, so they can't do anything (unique ford golfstown NH). I pull a travel trailer and this isn't safe. I experienced the death wobble even though they couldn't duplicate it. So, I'm seeking out another mechanic to assess.

Failure of the track bar bushings, failure of tie rod ends and failure of steering linkage dampers. This results in “death wobble” while driving at random speeds and contacting abnormal road surfaces. This results in the vehicle violently shaking and can lead to serious injury or death.

After receiving a repair for the failure of track bar bushing, steering linkage dampers and tie rod ends from the ford dealership, death wobble continues in my vehicle. This results in an almost $2000 fix. The vehicle violently shakes and could lead to serious injury or death.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH onto a bridge, the vehicle suddenly experienced the "Death Wobble" causing the front end of the vehicle to severely shake and vibrate. The local dealer was contacted and indicated that the front dampener needed to be replaced but the VIN was not included in the manufacturer's extended coverage to repair the issue. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 35,000.

Mileage: 35,000

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

when driving at speeds over 50mph and hit a slight bump or imperfection in the road the front end shakes violently and almost shakes the steering wheel out of your hands with no warning. this incident happened 10 time on a recent road trip. Internet search found this is a common problem with this model vehicle and it's called a Death Wobble. I don't understand why Ford hasn't issued a recall for this issue. Calling the dealership to inquire about fixing this problem.

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

I was driving on the highway at 60mph, I went over an uneven area on a highway bridge when my truck’s steering started to shake uncontrollably, I had both hands on the steering wheel and still started to swerve into the passing lane, I finally got it under control and was looking for an area to pull over as I wasn’t sure if I had a flat or not, the shaking finally stopped, I put my hazard lights on and slowly kept going , after a few miles it seemed ok. I went directly to my Ford dealer who said they have had problems with F250 Stabilizer bars and made an appointment to have it looked at

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.

I experienced the Ford truck death shake for the first time while driving 53 mph on a county road. Truck went over a few bumps in a consecutive manner and the steering wheel started shaking uncontrollable. This went on for close to a minute, I had a passenger and her child in the truck and it scared everyone. This is insane! This is Ford's top of the line heavyduty truck!

Death Wobble at Highway Speed.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH and turning right, the vehicle aggressively veered to the right causing the vehicle to land in a ditch on the side of the roadway. The contact was able to successfully depress the brake pedal. There was no injury sustained. The contact was able to drive the vehicle out of the ditch and continued to drive at very slow speeds home. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was included in an NHTSA Campaign Number and the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle continued to display the death wobble while driving at speeds of 60 MPH or above. The contact stated that while inspecting the vehicle there was an abnormal diesel odor coming from the vehicle. The contact became aware of diesel fuel on the ground. While inspecting the engine while the vehicle was running, diesel fuel started to shoot up and out of the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The dealer confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V013000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,000.

Mileage: 7,000

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

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

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.

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.

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. Already had the right front side fixed for this issue several years ago. It’s now occurring on the left front side. Had it happen 6 different time in one 6 hour trip. Happens pretty much anytime at hwy speeds now. Especially at bridge transitions.

1) Front suspension Death Wobble causing loss of control of truck. 2) Lost control of the vehicle running off the road at 70 mph through a fence. 3) Ford has attempted to repair the truck 3 times, the warranty company claimed there is no probem withe the truck the 4th time and declined repair. 4) Pictures have been supplied to insurance, no other inspections. 5) There are no warnings. The first time the issue appears was about 25K miles. I have had my 2019 Ford F250 truck in the shop 4 times for a total of close to 90 days for the Ford Truck Death Wobble. The last time in the shop MPP, Inc. declined to repair the issue. On 9/20/2023, the truck started the Death Wobble causing loss of control and running through a barbed wire fence causing significant damage. Also, Ford has never been able to get the parts to complete the recall during the times I have had the truck in the shop.

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

Since purchasing the truck new I have experienced a VIOLENT shaking of the truck after hitting a small (1-2 inch) bump on the freeway. The shaking did not abate until I slowed to about 15 MPH. This has occurred about a dozen times over the course of the last three years. It also occurred while my son (a police sergeant and driving instructor) was towing a boat to the lake, nearly causing an accident. He also owns a 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty but it has never happened while driving his truck, only mine. I have made numerous attempts to get the truck repaired by Ford to no avail. I sincerely believe someone is going to die if this issue is not resolved, I only pray it is not me or one of my family members. For the forthcoming questions I am using the first time it occurred. I don't have a record of every time it occurred.

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.

I was driving on the highway at about 70 mph when the truck suddenly lost control. I almost crash into the nearest wall. Fortunately I didn’t, and I managed to break however as I was braking the truck kept shaking. All the tires were inspected and they aren’t the issue. Something to do with the suspension caused the lost of control.

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.

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

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact slowed down to regain control of the vehicle. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with Customer Satisfaction Program: 20N04 (Steering Linkage Damper Extended Coverage); however, the manufacturer stated the vehicle had exceeded mileage. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

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.

I'm Experiencing with what several mechanics call a "Death Wobble". That is to say when I'm driving the vehicle and I hit a pothole or bump in the road Fifty five miles an hour or faster, the steering wheel and suspension shakes violently and and I have lost some control momentarily. I need to know whether or not there's been a recall for the 2019 Ford F250 crew cab lariat. My concern is the steering dampener, pitman arm and any other front end suspension linkage for the steering and suspension assembly is malfunctioning and needs to be recalled.

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.

When driving on the highway, if I drive over a rough spot, bridge abutment, pot hole etc, sometimes the truck will begin to shake violently. Usually the shaking will only stop if I slow down to below 35 mph. This issue seems to be worse when towing a trailer. I have had the steering damper replaced by Ford 2 times. The issue usually gets better for 10-15,000 miles and then will get worse. First starting with a slight "wiggle" or looseness in the steering wheel. Then after a couple thousand more miles death wobble will start to occur.

Driving on the highway and I hit an uneven spot and started to vigourly shake. I had to slow down to make it stop. Very dangerous and hard to control

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.

While driving 45 miles an hour down a 3 lane highway I hit a pothole with the left front tire only the truck started to shake uncontrollably I had a hard time keeping it straight and veered into the left lane had to aggressively apply the brakes To get the vehicle to stop causing the vehicle behind me to swerve into the other lane no accidents occurred fortunately This is the 1st time it has happened and the truck did not show any signs of warning or issues. Once I got to a safe place to get out I looked around the truck but could not find any wrong. I will have it inspected by Ford.

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.

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.

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

While driving our 2019 Ford F250 Superduty at highway speeds it develops a "death wobble" at this point it is very difficult to control the truck and the only way to get it to stop the violent shaking is to come to a stop. This is a known problem for Ford and they claim the parts are on backorder and it'll be months before parts are available. This vehicle has been inspected at a Ford dealership twice but lack of parts makes it so it cannot be fixed.

At highway speeds (about 60 or more) when you hit almost any bump, the truck becomes almost uncontrollable due to the front end shaking.

Severe shaking in the front end ( death wobble) This has happened to me several times now.

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.

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.

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.

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

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving over a bump in the road at highway speeds exceeding 55 MPH, the vehicle shook violently and vibrated and shook. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the steering dampener needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 27,000.

Mileage: 27,000

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

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.

Driving 65 mph on state highway, after going over minimal bumps, front end shook terribly and would not stop. It almost caused a multi vehicle collision including tractor trailers. No notification from Ford until I brought vehicle in for diagnosis, Death Wobble

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.

Mileage: 31,000

In the last month of Nov,2022 I almost had 3 near accident incidents with my F250 Super Duty Ford due to a wobbling on front driver side wheels. I have done some research and looks like my truck has the wobble of death issues. I am afraid to drive again and it is our work truck and would like to know my options. Thank you

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly experienced the “death wobble" after driving over a change in the pavement of the roadway. During the failure, the vehicle began to violently shake and vibrate until the speed was reduced. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 95,000.

The contact stated while driving at speeds exceeding 50 MPH, the vehicle would shake violently shake and vibrate after driving over changes in the pavement of the road. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to identify to cause of the failure. No service adjustments were made to the vehicle.

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.

Twice I have experienced the "F250 Death Wobble," both incidents were on the highway traveling at about 65-70 mph on level freeway when the vehicle began to oscillate and vibrate in an EXTREMELY VIOLENT MANNER. I was scared to death and I could barely control the vehicle, but in both incidents I was able to apply brakes and slowly get the vehicle to a full and complete stop to arrest the violent shaking. When both vibration incidents happened I was cruising along, not accelerating or decelerating, just constant speed. By the way both incidents occurred on I-15 near Lehi, Utah.

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

hit a bump going on to a bridge and the truck goes into a death wobble

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.

When driving above 50 MPH and hitting a small bump in the road, the vehicle has gone into a sever wobble in the suspension almost to the point of losing control of the steering of the truck. I had to reduce the speed to below 30 MPH to get the truck to return to normal. This has happened to our truck twice.

Driving on freeway at 60mph hit a bump in road and the steering shook bad (death wobble), had to slow down to 25mph

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the steering wheel started moving violently from side to side. The contact stated that he had experienced the death wobble. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal until he regained control of the vehicle. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road momentarily. The contact was then able to continue driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 87,640.

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.

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.

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.

- "death wobble" in my F250 3 times on our way back from the Outer Banks, NC to Nashville. Ford is stating it is the Steering Dampener. Yes, it is available for inspection. - Safety was poor, it felt like I had little control until we came to a complete stop. I would say it put other at risk as we had to move to the side, across multiple lanes, to the side of the road. - It happened 3 times in one trip. - It has not been inspected (only by me). The Ford dealership stating they know the problem (without looking at it) and start a service order. We are awaiting the part. - No, it just suddenly happened. We were not towing anything either

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!

On 10/9/2022, while driving on the interstate at 70-75 mph next to an 18 wheeler, I experienced the dreaded "death wobbles" in my new truck. The truck was barely able to be controlled, and I had to pull over to the shoulder of the interstate and come to a complete stop. When I tried driving to the next exit to get to a safer location, the death wobbles hit a second time when driving at a reduced speed because there was a very minimal dip in the road. The vehicle gave no warning prior to or during the incident. The steering/suspension systems were completely out of control, and only began working after I had to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. I notified the dealer, Carvana, and am returning the vehicle to them. They had initially done an inspection and stated the vehicle was fine. Obviously, it wasn't. This was extremely terrifying and even worse, Ford is aware of this long standing issue and has not issued a recall. When I called the Malloy Ford dealer in Martinsburg, WV, they said they wouldn't cover the repairs, that it would be up to me to pay for whatever components malfunctioned and were possibly further damaged by the death wobbles.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH on a distressed roadway, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the road and then was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact continued to experience the failure. The contact stated that two weeks later he received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V087000 (Structure, Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. VIN tool confirms parts not available. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

Mileage: 9,000

DEATH WOBBLE.....AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD STEERING WHEELS SHAKES UNTIL VEHICLE COMES TO STOP. ONLY HAVE 30,000 MILES AND NO OFF-ROAD DRIVING. DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT SPEED. HAVE ISSUES AT 45 MPH AND NOW DRIVING 65 ON HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS HAVING TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AS UNABLE TO EVEN STEER!

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.

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

We experienced the "Death Wobble" with this vehicle. The part Ford has identified as the problem(Steering Dampner) has been covered by the 20N04 warranty extension but the parts surrounding the Dampner have also been affected and needed to be replaced at our cost. This include the Long Drag link, Short Drag link, and the Adjuster. Parts and Labor totaled $673.31. This issue is well documented throughout Ford owners.

If I hit a bump going over 50mph my vehicle will violently shake until I slow down or stop.

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.

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.

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.

The first time it happened was about 9/3/2022. I was driving down the road at 60 mph and hit the rumble strip in the middle of the road. The truck started shaking violently until I slowed substantially. I started back up and it was fine. On three separate occasions it has started to do this went hitting a bump in the road. Each time I was driving about 60 mph and it stopped when I slowed substantially. It is almost impossible to steer it when it happens and it is very dangerous.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving downhill approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and vibrating uncontrollably while driving over surface changes in the road pavement. The contact was able to stop and inspect the vehicle but was unable to identify the cause of the failure. After continuing the long-distance trip, the failure reoccurred on two separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure but suggested that a suspension stabilizer bar be installed on the vehicle; however, the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.

Mileage: 27,000

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 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.)

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

Going down the road at about 60MPH when I hit a bump in the road. The truck started to shack very hard, and I had to apply light brake pressure and pull off the side of the road. It stopped and I took it to the dealer. Was told steering damper was weak and needed to be replaced and it only has 32,524 miles. Did not have part and will not have it for 1-2 months.

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 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.

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

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated he experienced the "death wobble" on four occasions in a single day. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to regain control of the vehicle and drive to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,600.

Mileage: 36,600

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.

The truck violently shakes at about 47 MPH for unknown reasons. The dealership that I purchased it At's service writer stated that there a multitude of reporting's for this very issue but the volume of complaints prevents them from even diagnosing the problem for several months. Also if I required a loaner vehicle it would be even longer. I have already spent about $1500.00 of my own money trying to address this problem through a different front end mechanical specialty shop. The service writer at Don Chalmers Ford in Rio Rancho , New Mexico also stated that from my warranty and service policy the problem could be covered. I use my tuck to pull a trailer for my business and this problem is having a negative impact on my business.

The truck began shaking uncontrollably at approximately 70mph.. fortunately I was in the right lane , and traffic wasn’t very busy, and I was able to get the truck off the side of the road without creating an accident.. I have owned the truck since it was new, and have not experienced any issue until now! The truck has just over 40,000 miles on it. Took truck to dealership to be inspected and they said everything looks good.. but they also said that the part that I needed was on back order. At the current time I’m waiting on repairs to be made, but I am very uneasy about the safety of the vehicle now..

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.

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.

Death wobble at 70 mph twice within 10 minutes.

I experienced the death wobble at highway speeds of 70mph 4 times in less then one week on a vacation trip. Luckily it was on straight sections of the road. It requires slamming on the breaks and slowing the speed to less the 25mph to get the vehicle back under control. Extremely dangerous and should be immediate recall! I have great dash cam footage of several of the incidents. Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

Shakes pretty bad

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.

While driving on the highway all of sudden the front end of the truck starts to shake(its being called the death wobble) and you have no control over the vehicle until the shakes stop. When this first happened 2 months ago I brought it into the dealer and they told me that it is called the death wobble and they were going to fix it. Well, it wasn't as it just happened again yesterday.

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,

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.

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

Oh June 15th, in the middle of the afternoon around 2-3 pm, I was traveling NW on SH114, in the toll express lane, from Dallas towards Grapevine after a minor medical procedure, when my truck apparently hit a small hole or bump, which caused it to vibrate violently simultaneously from both front wheels, as if they weren't even in contact with the pavement. It took a lot of effort to keep the vehicle from crashing into the concrete walled barriers which are located on either side of that lane. I ended up having to slow to essentially a complete stop before the violent shaking stopped. Once the truck was under control, I noticed that my incision site had swollen greatly, as if a tennis ball was in my neck. An artery had ruptured as a result necessitating my wife to meet me and transport me to the hospital/clinic for emergency repairs, as the wild and uncontrolled vehicle and the effort to control it had caused an artery to rupture in my neck. I now understand this to be what is commonly called Death Wobble. I am lucky I didn't crash, and I am even luckier that I am not dead from bleeding out. That incident and the resulting several weeks that followed necessitated a bunch of follow up visits and being off work as well as no physical activity, in addition to the trauma, pain, and now the fear of my truck doing this again in the future. My truck is available for inspection. I have reached out to Ford through live chat, social media and telephone, but I have received not response so far. I have little more than a desire to help others avoid crashes and injuries and to have my truck repaired. I am the original owner. It is under warranty. BUT< there is no current recall and the information I have been able to glean indicates that the proposed repair woefully inadequately does anything. Somebody is going to die, if they already haven't. I'm just lucky it wasn't me that day. Being stuck in a barriered lane, bleeding internally profusely was terrifying.

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!

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

Above 60 mph if my truck hits even the smallest pavement imperfection or small pot hole my truck will begin to vibrate uncontrollably. The vibration will continue until I slow below 50 and the vibration will go away. Watching videos on the internet, they refer to it as "Death Wobble". VERY dangerous situation and I will not allow anyone to drive my truck but me.

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 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

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.

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.

Problem is in the front end suspension that effects the steering when the truck begins to suddenly shake violently at around 63 mph--a simple expansion crack in the road, or a bridge crossing initiates the event. The steering wheel has nearly been jerked out of my hands at said speed and only stops after rapid slow-down. This first happened when the truck had about 20,000 miles on it and was on a two lane, well-maintained highway in east central Illinois. A couple of other violent events have occurred since that time and many others were stopped by my immediate slow-down; a hazard to drivers following closely behind. The first time it happened, I thought a tire had exploded or a wheel had come off the truck and I slowed and pulled off to the side of a two lane road (emergency flashers were put on to warn other cars). The man I was with and I walked all around the truck and examined what had come loose or off, and found nothing. I had already had the tires rotated twice, but had them again rotated and balanced within about 10 days. I took the truck back to the dealer for a rear axle recall, but I stressed at this time, that there was a serious issue with the front end. I described the violent wobbling and steering wheel jerking to the head maintenance man at Poage Ford Dealer in Bowling Green Missouri and he admitted that Ford had a real problem and, at least 3 other owners had the same complaints, and parts would be ordered (steering damper suggested but mechanic didn't know for certain if this was a fix on a newer truck) for my truck but I would be 4th in line at this small town dealer. The truck is still well inside a 3 year warranty and I called same dealer 2 weeks later to ask if the part had been received; and no, it had not. From what I have read this steering damper does not fix the problem. Only the dealer service department has inspected the truck. I don't think insurance is going to be interested in paying for a manufacturing defect, but I will call them

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.

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

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 certain bumps or transitions at higher speeds, the truck goes into the death wobble and is close to uncontrollable with bouncing and shuddering until you pull over and come to a stop.

My truck now has what’s called the Ford Death Wobble. This is 100% factory problem and has happened to many trucks. I demand a recall

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.

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 while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated she restarted the vehicle and continued driving to her destination. The contact stated she had experienced the failure twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 29,440.

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.

On 03/15/2022 if just had my first experience with the "Ford Death Wobble" at 70mph on interstate 64 in Virginia, I was able to control this with out damage to other cars on the interstate and was able to pull the truck onto the shoulder and stop. After researching last night online I was able to find this has been an on going problem for Ford. I purchased this vehicle new in November 2019 and according to the tags this truck just left the factory in October 2019. Looks like that Ford contacted dealers about the problems for repairs and stated that letters would be sent to owners, but in my case no letter was sent and my address has not changed in 28 years. They had extended the warranty on the front end to 3years or 100,000 miles for repairs. But here is the problem unless you hit a seam or pothole at high speed you will not know about this problem and I need to travel to my job ever day 200 miles round trip and this was the first time this happen to me with the death wobble and currently I have 107,000 miles on this truck and this Ford problem more than likely will not be covered under Ford CSP warranty since this is not a "Recall" this is VERY DANGEROUS!

While traveling on a paved roadway at approximately 55 miles per hour, I hit a small bump in the roadway and the steering wheel began shaking violently. This continued until I slowed and came to a near stop.

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.

I have a ford f250 that now has the death wobble. [XXX] near ran me off the road. Very scary situation while driving. I have an appointment for an independent service center to take a look at it Monday of next week. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

Truck shakes whenever I hit a small pot hole

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 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.

Driving down the highway pulling our 5th about 65 mph when I had to make a sudden stop. The truck steering wheel a front end started to shake violently and almost caused me to wreck. Stopped shaking when my speed was About 35 mph.

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.

While traveling, Extreme violent shaking of vehicle while driving East on busy Interstate 24, between Paducah, Ky and Knoxville, TN. Our destination is Myrtle Beach. We were driving 70 MPH, road had multiple bumps, weather & road conditions were dry . Traffic was heavy. Time of occurrence was approximately 9-10 AM. very scary,.While holding both hands firmly on steering wheel to attempt to keep truck straight and slow down while trying to get over to side of road to evaluate. Called Ford Service, they were familiar with this issue. We inquired if safe to continue driving. Service Advisor indicated it was ok to drive as long as we don’t go to fast and avoid bumps and bridge bumps. Inquired if they were familiar with issues, they indicated they were familiar with this issue. Appointment made for next day to evaluate. Spoke to Beach Ford Myrtle Beach. Occurred total of 3 times on our trip.

Traveling between 70-80 mph and truck went into uncontrollable shaking known as the “death wobble”. Was only able to control the truck by slowing down. Ford dealership has stated they can’t do anything about it.

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

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.

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.

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.

The front suspension and steering becomes unstable and uncontrollable at highway speeds when uneven pavement is encountered. There is a vibration and a side to side motion of the steering wheel that does not stop until the vehicle is stopped. This issue was first reported to the NHTSA, and the manufacturer through the dealer Santa Margarita Ford, Ranch Santa Margarita California in early 2021. At that time components of the front suspension were replaced by Ranch Margarita Ford under warranty. Now, less than 12 months later, the problem has returned, the vehicle has less than 36,000 on it and is still under factory warranty. In January 2022 the vehicle was taken to Lake Elsinore Ford, Lake Elsinore California, where failure of the same front suspension parts were noted and replaced under warranty. This is unacceptable to experience the failure of these parts on annual basis. The vehicle is uncontrollable when the parts fail.

Loss of steering and uncontrollable shaking/ oscillation of front end suspension components when hitting small bump at 55 mph. No warning light or notification of this prior to happening. Phoned dealership they will be inspecting truck.

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.

I get a death wobble to where I have to come to almost a complete stop. Even on the interstate

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.

My truck has ~31k miles. On 12/15/2021 I was driving on the interstate at highway speed. A few hours into my trip the front end of my vehicle, suddenly and without warning, began to bounce violently. My ability to steer the vehicle was severely compromised. I almost hit the median wall. I was finally able to get the vehicle to the shoulder and out of the roadway. My first thought was that both front tires had burst. The violent shaking did not stop until the vehicle was at a complete stop. I got out and did a visual inspection of all four tires. They were fine. I did a visual inspection of the steering structures looking for something "loose". It seemed OK. I continued down the interstate and everything seemed ok. I had no clue what happened. After about 10 minutes, the same thing happened again. I did the same inspection again. Finding nothing, I continued to my home, driving below highway speeds with my emergency flashers on. Subsequent research by me revealed that I had a "Death Wobble", a defect in the steering mechanism that Ford has known about for years. There's even a class action lawsuit. Of course, none of Ford's agents/dealers disclosed this defect when I was buying this vehicle. For some reason, Ford hasn't issued a recall for this defect. A call to my local Ford dealer revealed that the service department, the "advisor" immediately diagnosed the problem. Ford has issued an extended warranty, but unfortunately, the authorized "fix" is inadequate and only temporarily masks the real problem. Ford is ignoring this problem, figuring as they did with the Pinto, that it's cheaper to ignore than to properly repair. Until, of course, someone gets killed. This defect manifests itself almost exclusively at highway speeds. And there is no warning. I invite anyone from Ford or the NHTSA to join me for a test ride to experience the terror. A signed waiver will be required.

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.

I was driving at 55 mph when all of a sudden I felt like if i had both of my front tires blown out, it started shaking uncontrollable and I almost flipped my truck from the shaking. while ding some research i guess this is called the death wobble and i am not the only one being affected. luckily i was able to control my truck but this could have caused a huge accident. Dealership told me that they would not cover my truck as this was normal with ford trucks. while i visited the dealership there where two other gentleman with the same issue.

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.

Death wobble

While driving on the highway at 83 mph (80 mph posted speed limit), my 2019 Ford F250 began to violently "wobble" and vibrate to the extent it was quite difficult to control the vehicle. I was in the far left lane and had to brake and maneuver through high speed traffic to get to the shoulder to stop. The violent wobbling did not reside until I was almost to a complete stop.

Traveling on i90 at 70 mph hit a slight bump in the road and the steering wheel started vibrating violently to the point I couldn't control the truck. My life flashed before me!!! Luckily traffic seen what had happened and back off. Truck is at fugate ford at this time.

Driving westbound on I-10 east of Houston Texas, near Beltway 8. I was in the left lane. I apparently hit a small bump in the road. My truck instantly began to become impossible to control. My steering wheel was shaking back and forth uncontrollably. My entire truck was shaking, almost like it was having a seizure. It was almost violent. I tried to hold control of the wheel, while trying to slow down. I was unable to do either with any effectiveness in a quick fashion. It was as if my wheels were not making contact with the road, possibly bouncing up and down. I hit the brakes and tried to steer into the shoulder to avoid traffic nearby. It was difficult as the wheels were not making contact with the road to steer and they were not allowing the brakes to properly slow the vehicle as they were not touching the road for very long. I was eventually able to slow the vehicle and enter the shoulder and get the vehichle to stop shaking. I honestly thought I was about to flip over or have a significant wreck as I had very little control of the vehichle.

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.

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 is to report another incident of what is now known as the Ford Death Wobble. Despite Ford's denial of this condition existing, it is real. My truck has only 18K miles on it and I experienced the issue three times while driving on the freeway yesterday, Dec 02, 2021. It is terrifying and if one of my daughters or other family member had been driving, I am scare to think what the result might have been. There is much information about this issue on the internet, though I am not sure how much is fact or opinion. What I do know is that it happened to me and it is real and serious. I make this claim in part as documentation in case there is a serious accident related to this obvious defect. I have an appointment with a local dealership tomorrow, Dec 04, 2021 to see if the issue can be fixed. I will make clear to them the issue, the recording of my efforts to have the issue addressed by Ford and the documentation of this issue. I implore the NHTSA to take action to demand Ford address this serious risk. I encourage you to share this complaint with Ford officials. I want to be on public record about this issue.

On 11/16/2021, at approx. 1 pm, I merged onto a major interstate freeway from an on-ramp, in a westbound direction. The weather was a clear, sunny day and the roadway surfaces were dry and level. I accelerated to approx. 65 miles-per-hour as I merged onto the far right lane (slow lane), the roadway surface became a little uneven and contained several ripples. My 2019, Ford F-250 Super Duty, 4WD truck began to shake violently in a side-side motion. Fortunately, there wasn't any approaching vehicle traffic behind me for quite some distance. I held firmly to the steering wheel and took my foot off the accelerator. I steered the truck in a diagonal direction (west by northwest) toward the north shoulder of the freeway. As the truck slowed, I applied the brakes gently and intermittently. I reached the shoulder and parked the truck. I inspected the truck for any obvious deficiencies, and I did not see any. I made an appointment with the closest Ford dealership, and on 11/26/2021, the dealership replaced the steering stabilizer. The Ford dealership's service advisor refused my request to give me possession of the replaced stabilizer stating it is Ford's policy to keep parts replaced under a warranty replacement. My truck had approx. 28, 200 miles at the time. No one was injured, and no crash occurred in this incident of, "Sustained Steering Wheel Oscillation." This was the only occurrence of sustained steering wheel oscillation I have experienced.

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 traveling at 65 MPH, a severe shake in the front end caused me to leave the highway and continued to shake until I came to a complete stop. Vehicle has been taken to a dealer 3 times and is still not repaired. Very dangerous to drive.

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.

On >10 occasions when driving down the highway and hitting a bump the truck stops to violently shake, is difficult to control and continues to shake until I reduce my speed to below 25mph level which is dangerous on the highway. I have reported this issue to the dealer once before with no resolution. They said they could t find a problem. The first occurrence was last year when the vehicle was not one year old yet and has continued since then u til the last occurrence on 11/26/2021.

I was driving my Ford F-250 SuperDuty at 65 mpg on a 4 lane hwy (posted speed 65) when the truck suddenly, without warning, shaking and bouncing violently. The jostling was so violent my head hit the top of the cab and my glasses were bouncing on my face. The steering wheel was shaking but I was able to get to the side of the road and stop. It was the worst, most violent shaking I have ever experienced. I thought my wheels were coming off. My head, neck, and back are sore today from the incident. The truck gave no warning, no warning lights, sounds, etc. to indicate what was about to happen. It shook so hard my vision was doubled. *I do NOT know what failed or malfunctioned. It appeared to be wheels, steering, suspension? *This put me at grave risk of losing control, overturning, rolling and getting killed. It put others on the highway at risk because I could have caused them to wreck by the actions of my uncontrollable truck. I could have killed myself and others on the highway. *I have not had the opportunity to take this back to a dealer yet. *No one has inspected it yet. *No warning lights, no sounds, no indication of impending problem. Ford should NOT allow this to happen on ANY vehicle. This is a death trap and I am afraid to continue driving it. DEATH TRAP!

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

While driving from Texarkana Texas to Cleveland Texas today, I experienced three cases of the “Death Wobble” on my 2019 F250 Super Duty truck. This truck has only 22,800 miles on it and has no off road miles on it. This problem occurred when encountering only minor bumps in the road. This is a serious problem for several years now. I also had this problem with a new 2017 model with only 26,000 miles on it. These trucks are not safe to drive and accidents or even deaths may occur if Ford doesn’t fix their defective design.

On 8 November 2021 and again on 9 November 2021, I experienced what two Ford service dept's called the "Death Wobble". The first occurred under what was potentially lethal circumstances; twisty mountain roads on I-40W in NC. The front end began shaking violently and uncontrollably, with my vehicle surrounded by moving tractor trailer trucks. I managed to come to a violent stop on the shoulder of I-40 without a collision. The second occurred at the I-555/I-270 merge in Missouri. Same circumstances: violent shaking. I braked harshly and at approx 8mph the shaking went away. T took it to a mechanic who crawled underneath and could see nothing amiss. I then drove to the Ford dealer in Kirkwood, MO. The service chief pronounced it the "Death Wobble" but couldn't get me in for two weeks. I limped to Hermann, MO Ford dealer. The service manager pronounced it the "Death Wobble" and took it into the shop immediately. I had the vehicle back by 1000 the next morning, fixed-no charge. He said Ford had an extended warranty out on that/those parts. the steering stabilizer shock(s). It was unclear to me if this was a pair of shocks. I have no receipt because the service dept said it was a warranty issue and the dealership had to submit it to Ford.

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

Driving on smooth highway at 65mph experienced violent shaking of front suspension almost losing control of vehicle. Had to rapidly decelerate and move shoulder before it would stop shaking. This is a known problem but no recall as yet. Nickname is ‘Death Wobble’. Afraid to drive this vehicle. I understand that action lawsuits so far have not forced Ford to recall these vehicles.

Front end of vehicle wobbles violently on interstate after hitting a potholes and uneven pavement.It made the vehicle hard to control.I had to slow the vehicle down to 50mph to come out of the wobble.

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.

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.

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.

Uncontrollable shaking at about 72 after hitting a bump in the road. Had to slow down to about 30 to get it to stop on a 70mph highway.

Severe "death wobble" condition occurred on highway.

Steering has the Death wobble on certain numbs. Steering wheel shakes violently and there is loss of control. Back to Ford @ about 20 thousand miles for a new steering damper. Now at 60 thousand the problem is back

Suspension “DEATH WOBLE” Traveling on the highway 68 mph and had no steering with the steering wheel shaking violently and moved me over one full lane before I could slow down and get it under control again. Cars swerved all around me to avoid crashing and my life along with my passenger and other drivers were all put at risk. This is just crazy! Car just came out of the dealer for service for vibration and all they did was an alignment and charged me and said it all looks good and that shaking/vibration is normal. I lease this car and pay 600 a month and can’t even drive it. Ford needs to be forced to fix this issue, this is killing people.

Driving on highway 287 in NJ and hit slight bump in road causing severe uncontrollable shaking of truck. Finally got truck to pull over and stop. Kept pressure on brakes to stop shaking. Then continued. The next day, on another highway, rt 80 in NJ, I again hit another bump on road going 60, and it happened again.

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

Death wobble

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle hit a pothole and inadvertently started shuddering violently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred several times while driving whenever the vehicle drove over a pothole. The contact stated she reduced the speed to 40 MPH and the vehicle stopped shuddering. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the front stabilizer shocks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

Mileage: 14,000

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.

Last month we purchased a 2019 F250 SD..with less than 32K miles...(under Warranty). Since the purchase, we have had 3 incidents of the Ford "DEATH WOBBLE", each one increasingly worse than the last. The local Ford dealer finally ( a week to get in ) begrudgingly DROVE & INSPECTED the truck & said "NOTHING WRONG". We asked they check the bushings, balljoints, steering system for Wobble... they said NO SUCH THING...and then aligned the front tires free of charge ? Two days later as I was heading to Texas...I hit a bump in the road and the RIGHT tire lost contact w/the road. Then after it made contact w/road, I had EXTREME jerking Left & Right IN THE STEERING...causing the truck to veer into the left lane ( a 4 lane)...I was within 2' of hitting the concrete divider ! Traffic behind me SLOWED. The WOBBLE is most violent when the Truck hits a defect in the pavement at 45 to 70MPH wherein the wheel is momentarily airborne...THEN on impact w/the road, the Wobble begins..there is NO CONTROL at that point. Once in Texas, I went to an Independent Service Center who had a great deal of experience w/the DEATH WOBBLE...not only verified the problem as the Death Wobble BUT FIXED IT !...to the point my wife will now travel with me...she had refused the trip from AL. to Tx. I did not blame her...it is very scary stuff. Safer on the airline, Covid & all ! PARTS NEEDED: Caster/camber adjusting bushings, Rod Assy-Drag Lind, Tie Rod Ends, 2 Ball Joints, Stabilizer/Track Bar, Tie rod end were all replaced. It drives good, no Death Wobble !!...VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD...

When driving the truck and come into contact with rough road, the front wheel/s feel like they are coming off of the truck. The entire truck shakes as well as the steering column vibrating extensively. Since this issue has been recognized a couple months ago as I was driving on a freeway, the local Ford dealership service center is willing to fix the issue but informed me that I would be held responsible for the service costs due to my truck having 49,000 miles on it and no longer covered under the 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. As I have researched, I have found this to be a common problem with the Ford F250 and is called the "Death Wobble". For an inexperienced driver this could be a major accident waiting to happen!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 MPH and traveling over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle started shaking violently. The contact mentioned that the vehicle experienced the death wobble. Additionally, the front tires were off the roadway. The contact applied the brakes to stop the vehicle from shaking. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

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.

While driving on the highway my vehicle starts shaking very bad, this has happened a few times now.

Severe steering wheel oscillation and front end shake after crossing over bridge expansion joints or rough road surface at speeds of 50 to 70 mph. This occurred on highway and caused the truck to begin to drift into adjacent lane. Unable to quickly reduce speed because of semi truck and additional vehicles immediately behind my vehicle -- shaking stopped after reducing speed to approximately 40-45mph. Truck was taken to dealer and track bar was replaced, however problem has not been resolved and reoccurred on the first trip back on the highway. Truck is currently schedule to be serviced again by dealer.

I have experienced the death wobble several times over the last month. I went to the dealership and asked them to check the suspension (tie rods, shocks, etc) and they said nothing was wrong. From 40-70 mph, if I hit the smallest bump or uneven spot in the road, the entire front end shakes so bad I can hardly stay on the road.

The truck started shaking extremely bad when driving on the highway. It was very violent and pull me of the road. Lost some of the trim of the bottom of the wheel wells. Scratch up from the tall grass.

I first noticed the extreme wobble going 65 mph on the highway. I almost lost control of the truck due to the extreme wobbling sensation after hitting a small bump. I have driven over the same bump in other vehicles with no issue whatsoever. I am now noticing that the problem is getting worse happening at speeds as low as 25 mph traveling on regular streets. I scheduled an appointment at the dealer to have this issue addressed they can’t get me in for almost 3 weeks. This could be a extremely dangerous issue that should have been addressed from the manufacturer. The whole truck shakes and the steering wheel violently moves left and right on its own.

My 2019 Ford has done the "death wobble" as its known 3 times in the last month. It shakes so violently when you go over a bump in the road that you must immediately pull off the road and the cars behind you must swerve to miss you because you have to stop and pull over to make it stop. The last time it did it on 9/10/2021 my arms literally hurt from the the terrible shaking. Another time on 9/7/2021 I had my 2 grandchildren with me and they started to cry because they thought we were in some sort of accident. I have 52,000 miles on it and am afraid to drive it.

Violent wobble when going 50mph and above. Lost control

Hi on September 06, 2021 at around 10:00am i was driving west on Freeway 10, I was with my family (wife and two kids 5 and 2 year old) on the carpool lane of a very busy freeway in San Gabriel valley. And when my truck started going over 60 mph it started violently shaking. My family and me held tight to the truck, I held on to the steering wheel as hard as I could while I slowly decreased the speed. I was able to bring the speed down to 30mph but the shaking would not stop. I slowly merged across the lanes and came a complete stop on the side of the freeway. I got out of the truck and inspected the outside to see if anything visible broke. After I checked the outside and got back and checked the screen but no messages were given for any sort of malfunction. i tried driving the truck again but at low speed 50mph and the issue did not occurred again, I'm afraid to drive 65 to 70 mph on this truck again and my wife was terrified, saying she could of not imagine what would of happened if she was the one driving at the time of the incident. on September 7, 2021 i took my truck for inspection at Bob Wondries Ford located at 400 S. Atlantic Blvd, Alhambra CA 91801 (626-246-3591), they should have a report for me in about two days.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45-55 MPH HIT A BUMP OR COUPLE BUMPS AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN LOSS OF CONTROL. USING THE SHOULDER ON THE ROAD WAS ABLE IMMEDITALY SLOW DOWN AND STOP. THE INTENSITY OF THE SHAKE WAS AS THOUGH THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. SHOCKING. THE DEALER DID PERFROM A STEERING LINKAGE REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY TODAY 09-03-2021

I was driving down the highway at 70 mph and hit a bump in the road where there was repaving going on. As soon as I hit the bump, the truck and steering wheel began shaking incredibly hard to the point where the truck was hard to control. It felt like I had a tire that had gone completely flat. I slowed down and got off on the shoulder of the road and had to come to a complete stop to get the shaking to stop. I got out, walked around the truck and couldn't find any issues. I got back in the truck and drove down to the next exit, getting up to about 60 mph with no issues. The next morning I had the same issue occur again in a very similar situation.

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.

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.

Traveling at highway speeds of 70 mph, this f250 has had 3 occurrences of uncontrollable, uncommanded violent death wobble steering wheel shakes. We have had to stomp the brakes and slow to 30mph for the steering to recover.......unsafe to drive!

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.

There is a death wobble in the front end of this truck and Ford refuses to fix it. The steering wheel shakes very bad from left to right until you slow the truck to low speed. When pulling a 13000LB trailer at 70 mph and this happens a crash is going to happen and someone is going to end up hurt or killed. I took this truck to my local dealer (Phil Long Ford) when the truck was aprx 6 months old with about 5000 miles on it. They did no documentation of this and told the parts are on back order. After waiting months I called another dealer 70 miles (MedVed Ford) away that told me to bring the truck in. This was February 17 2020 and the truck had 8942 miles. They agreed it had a issue and the added a steering damper and said it is fixed. we just competed a long rv trip across America and the truck kept doing this to the point it scares my with to death. On July 27th 2021 I took the truck back to Phil Long Ford of Colorado Springs with 20924 miles on it and the refused to fix the truck because it was now out of the 12 12 warranty. I refused to take the truck back. After it sat there for 2 weeks they say it is fixed with a new alignment. I picked the truck up on 8/6/2021 with 20945 miles on it and only made it 4 miles from the dealership before it did it again. I am now waiting on call back from the dealership. I have the documentation from the dealer to prove this too. This is a well documented issues with these trucks and someone needs to hold Ford accountable before someone dies.

Violent shaking at highway speeds when driving over certain roadways or expansion joints. Completely stock vehicle with less than 50,000 miles. Front suspension needs to be recalled. Shaking makes it difficult to control the vehicle and requires slowing to 30mph on the highway to mitigate.

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.

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.

Death wobble. Very scary

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.

Vehicle travels down the road at speed and hits a bump. The steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and is very dangerous. I researched this problem and observed that this is called the "death wobble"

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Death Wobles. It has happened 4 times now in the last three days. Very scary and very unsafe. Numerous times on a busy freeway outside of Sacramento, CA. Had to avoid trucks and they had to avoid me when i had to slow my vehicle down to 50 mph. Ford should take care of this issue immediately. What does it take? Some people to die before there is a recall?????????

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

Took truck in for service recall 4 months ago for the damper rod - no parts. I wasn't having that much of an issue at the time, maybe a little bit of shaking of the wheel at highway speeds. Now, it is getting a lot worse. Anytime on the highway that I go through a dip or bump I get the wobbling of the wheel. Even worse when I am in a turn of the road and experience a bump/dip. I find this when approaching or leaving a bridge.

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.

UPON ENTERING THE FREEWAY, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WAS NEARLY OUT OF CONTROL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE, STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED, AND CONTINUED ON. THE DEATH WOBBLE STOPPED FOR THE MOMENT.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH STILL NO DEFINITE SOLUTION, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AT LEAST TWICE AND THE TRACK BAR ONCE ALONG WITH CHECKING ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS IT HAS DONE LITTLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IF I HAVE CONSIDERED DOING A DUAL SHOCK STABILIZER MYSELF AS THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO RECONCILE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE YET THE TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE KINDS OF WEAR PROBLEMS AT JUST OVER 17,000 MILES. FORD CONTINUES TO MASK THE PROBLEM WHILE WAITING FOR ITS CUSTOMERS TO SERIOUSLY BE INJURED OR EVEN KILLED.

VEHICLE (2019 FORD F250 XLT) EXPERIENCED WHAT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". 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. THIS DOES NOTHING TO HELP THE PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED THE F250S BETWEEN 2011 AND 2019. THANK YOU.

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 ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTS RATTLING AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS JOLTING BACK AND FORTH AT A RAPID PACE CAUSING YOU TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. 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.

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIS GHWAY SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH I WENT OVER UNEVEN BREAK IN ROAD AND STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THINKING I HAD A BLOWOUT. TIRES WERE OK. GOT BACK ON ROAD AND CONTINUED HOME. THIS WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES. A FEW DAYS LATER AT 75MPH EXPERIENCES IT AGAIN. THIS TIME ALMOST LOST CONTROL. CALLED DEALER WHO ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT, BUT TOOK IT IN. THEY CHANGED OUT DAMPER ASSEMBLY. I'M AT 12,000MILES NOW AND FEEL A VIBRATION STARTING UP. NOTHING LIKE THE FIRST TWO TIMES THOUGH. I AM WORRIED THAT THEY MAY NOT FIX AGAIN. I DO WORRY THAT IT COULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL ON CROWDED INTERSTATE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FOR RECALLING THESE TRUCKS.

WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN PAVEMENT OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE BEGINS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I'VE SINCE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 55 MPH AND AT 80 MPH. FRONT OF VEHICLE ALWAYS SEEMS TO "FLOAT" WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN PAVEMENT OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND PULLING A 10,000LB CAMPER WEST OF COLUMBUS, OH ON A STRAIGHT PORTION OF I-70W, I HIT A GROOVE IN THE PAVEMENT WHILE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. 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.

ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2020, I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2019 F250 ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL TWO LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN I ENCOUNTERED A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED BY A ROOT GROWING UNDER THE PAVEMENT. 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 "DEATH WOBBLE" FROM MANY ARTICLES AND REPORTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE REGARDING THIS MODEL TRUCK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED UNSCATHED.

ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2020, I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY MINOR SON GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD DOWNHILL WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED BY A TREE ROOT. THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED WHEN MY SPEED WAS AT OR BELOW 30 MPH. 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. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THERE IS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION AND/OR STEERING.

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.

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON SMOOTH ROAD SURFACES , MY VEHICLE BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING MAKING IT ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE . INITIALLY I ASSUMED I HAD A BLOWOUT AND SLOWED AND PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER . ONCE I SLOWED TO LESS THAN 20 MPH THE SHAKING CEASED AND MY TRUCK FELT NORMAL . I RESUMED MY DRIVE WITHOUT ISSUES. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON A CROWDED URBAN TOLLWAY AND WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC . 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.

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.

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

AFTER EXPERIENCING THE TRUCK SHAKING ON THE ROAD WITH NO LOAD, WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN WITH LESS THAN 8K MILES ON IT - FORD SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, AND ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. FORD ONCE AGAIN TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND SENT THE TRUCK BACK TO US. WE HAVE BARELY USED IT DURING THE COVID LOCKDOWN BUT LAST WEEK I EXPERIENCED THE SHAKING TO A LESSER DEGREE AND I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS COMING BACK (THE TRUCK IS LESS THAT ONE YEAR OLD WITH 9K MILES ON IT!) FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IS SELLING THE TRUCKS ANYWAY TO UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS - UNBELIEVEABLE!

THEN BACK TO HELENA, MT. APPROX 630 MILES ROUND TRIP. ON THE WAY TO SPOKANE THE FRONT END SEEMED TO BOUNCING AROUND ANY TIME WE HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN BRIDGE DECK. ON THE WAY BACK TO HELENA IT ONLY GOT WORSE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON MY TRUCK 5 TIMES AS IT SEEMED LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS GOING TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK. MY WIFE WAS SO SCARED THAT SHE WANTED ME TO STOP AND LET HER OUT. THIS IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER AND NOW SHE IS TO SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. 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.

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. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED BY A PRIVATE SHOP NOT THE DEALER. *TR

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY FROM THE FRONT END AT 70MPH. USUALLY OCCURS AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR UNEVEN LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO HARD THAT ANYTHING ON THE DASH OR CENTER CONSOLE FALLS TO THE FLOOR BOARD, CHANCES OF ITEMS LANDING BEHIND BRAKE PEDAL OR GAS PEDAL. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A COUNTY ROAD AND MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. I HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD PRIOR TO CROSSING A BRIDGE. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I CAME TO A DEAD STOP. I ALMOST HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. 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. IT WOULD BE REAL HARD TO STAY OFF ONE OF THE VEHICLES AT YOUR SIDES OR KEEP FROM CAUSING A PILE-UP BEHIND YOU.*DT*JB

WAS SPEEDING UP TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED WAY DOWN AND PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND EXITED THE TRUCK. I DID A VISUAL INSPECTION ALL AROUND THE TRUCK AND NOTHING APPEARED BROKEN OR DAMAGED. I GOT BACK IN AND MERGED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASED SPEED. THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION WAS GONE. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD SUPER DUTY OWNERS AND ITS CALLED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE". I CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOO. *TR

FRONT END "DEATH WOBBLE" 2019 F250 WITH 17000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON 2 LANE ROAD, SLIGHT LEFT CURVE IN THE ROAD AT APPROX 55 MPH, HIT A FROST HEAVY BUMP. CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL. WORSE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. STOPPED ONCE BELOW 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. WENT TO FORD TODAY. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I'M SKEPTICAL THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. FRONT TIRES ARE AT 5/32 FACTORY GOODYEAR. WITH EVEN WEAR. I WILL REPLACE TIRES NEXT. THESE EVENTS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS IT IS A COMBINATION OF CHEAP/WORN PARTS AND POOR QUALITY TIRES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F-250 SUPER DUTY AT 52 MPH TO GET ON INTERSTATE I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE PAVEMENT AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY PICKUP DUE TO EXTREME AND UNCONTROLLABLE VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING/WOBBLE. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE IN TIME TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT TIRES AND FRONT SUSPENSION BUT DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. I STARTED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY CROSSED A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS GOING 50 MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ACTION. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T FORD BEING REQUIRED BY YOUR GROUP TO RECALL THESE DANGEROUS PICKUPS????!!!??? *TR

THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. I ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK BEHIND ME FROM SLOWING DOWN SO QUICKLY. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES VIOLENTLY. FIRST AT LESS THAN 10,000 MILES, THE SECOND AT 42,000 MILES AND THE LAST AND MOST VIOLENTLY AT 45,000 MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY UNEVEN TIRE WEAR OR IMPROPER AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES. IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED 100K MILE PLATINUM WARRANTY. I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE TRACK BAR WITH AN AFTERMARKET VERSION DESIGNED TO CORRECT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE, AND THE PROBLEM HAS STOPPED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 FORD F-250 WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 72 MILES/HR. I WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS SLAM ON BRAKES AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER TO GET IT TO STOP. I INSPECTED THE TRUCK BUT FOUND NOTHING OBVIOUS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD "THIS IS COMMON, WE CALL IT PORPOISING". THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. I HAVE NOW SPENT ALMOST $1000 DOLLARS ON A NEW ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR, PREMIUM SHOCKS AND A DUAL STEERING STABILIZER TO TRY AND REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT WITHOUT NHTSA INTERVENTION.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2019 F250 SUPER DUTY FROM BILL LUKE SANTAN, (NOT OUR HOME TOWN), ON 12/27/2019. IT CAME WITH A 120 MILE RETURN POLICY. WHEN MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE WAY HOME IT BEGAN A HORRIBLE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END, THIS HAPPENED TWICE. EACH TIME AT ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN TOWN AT ABOUT 55 AND NOT AS SEVERE. I STARTED MAKING PHONE CALLS AND DOING RESEARCH. APPARENTLY THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE IS QUITE WELL KNOWN. WIFE DROVE IT TO MESA FOR A DR APPOINTMENT ON THE 7TH OF JANUARY. SHE HIT A BRIDGE BUMP AND VIBRATED VERY VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT A HALF OF MILE, TRYING SLOWING TO GET IT TO STOP. IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL SHE DID. THAT WAS AT ABOUT 75 MPH. SHE FELT A FEW MORE MINOR ONES ON THE TRIP AS WELL. THE NEXT DAY DURING A TRIP SOMEWHAT INTO TOWN IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BUMPS, CURVES, EVEN AT TAKE OFF. THIS VEHICLE FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND WE HAVE PUT IT OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL IT CAN BE RESOLVED. NOW AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH AND SPENDING $47000 WE ARE QUITE AFRAID FOR OUR SAFETY EVEN IF A REPAIR IS DONE AND FEARING WE HAVE JUST WASTED A LOT OF MONEY. NOW EVERYONE I TALK TO KNOWS ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE. IF I HAD I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. FROM WHAT I AM READING THERE IS NO REAL FIX IN PLACE NOR A RECALL FROM FORD. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN WRECKS AND INJURIES AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE TAKING PLACE REGARDING THE MATTER. I HAVE STARTED A PAPER TRAIL OF ACTIONS, PHONE CALLS, EMAILS, AND COPIES OF RESEARCH.

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.

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.

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!"

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON ILLINOIS RT 29 NEAR PEORIA, IL, I TRAVELED OVER AN OLD SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS THAT HAVE BEEN PAVED OVER. THEY STICK UP JUST ENOUGH TO FEEL THEM WHEN YOU PASS OVER. AFTER TRAVELING OVER THESE AT 60 MPH, THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WENT INTO AN INSTABILITY INVOLVING EXTREME TIRE HOP AND SHAKING. THE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATED RAPIDLY AND STEERING FELT COMPLETELY OF CONTROL FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS. LUCKILY THIS WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY THAT REQUIRED LITTLE COURSE CORRECTION. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND TRAVELED ABOUT 300 MILES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. IT IS RELATED TO A RESONANCE CONDITION AS IT TAKES THE RIGHT SPEED AND LOADS INTO THE SUSPENSION TO CREATE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. IT IS VERY SCARY. YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS IN DETAIL.

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.

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.

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 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.

Mileage: 17,000

HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FORD'S "DEATH WOBBLE" NUMEROUS TIMES. VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WITH APPROX 20K MILES. NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE DATE. TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 & 75MPH, AND IF TRUCK ENCOUNTERS ANY DEVIATION IN ROAD (SMALL HOLE, BUMP, ETC), DEATH WOBBLE CAN OCCUR. FRONT SUSPENSION CAUSES SEVERE VIBRATION; STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WHEN TRAVELING AT THOSE SPEEDS. MUST BRAKE TO LOWER SPEED OR PULL OVER AND STOP COMPLETELY DEPENDING ON SEVERITY OF SHAKING. HAVE REPORTED THIS TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ON 12/11/19; THEY SEEM WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE. WAS TOLD PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE ON BACK-ORDER BUT SHOULD HAVE THEM IN 4-6 WEEKS. NOTE: THE DATE INDICATED BELOW IN WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN IS ROUGHLY WHEN THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED. HAVE HAD AT LEAST 15 INCIDENTS SINCE THEM.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F250 SUPER-DUTY ON 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN CLEAR WEATHER I DROVE THROUGH A DIP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND OSCULATING FROM SIDE TO SIDE . I HAD TO GRIP AND IMMEDIATELY GRIP AND START TO BRAKE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I SLOWED TO GET IT TO STOP AND PROCEEDED ON WITH CAUTION. THIS TRUCK HAS 19305 MILES SHOWING WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY FAMILY IN MY NEW TRUCK.

HAD 5 INCIDENTS OCCUR WITH "DEATH WOBBLE". STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 8500 MILES AT 65 MPH. HAD TO SLOW VEHICLE TO 55-60 MPH TO STOP SHAKING. HAD SHAKING OCCUR AT 65, 70, 75 AND 80 MPH. HITTING SLIGHT PAVEMENT BUMPS ON ROADS/FREEWAYS AND PAVEMENT TO BRIDGE TRANSITIONS. RECORDED ONE INCIDENT ON VIDEO WITH PASSENGER. TOOK VEHICLE IN AND STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED WITH RANCHO BRAND DUE TO BACK ORDER OF PARTS.SEEMS TO ONLY RESOLVED ISSUE TEMPORARY AS THE SHAKING IS COMING BACK AGAIN. WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TRUCK NOW, HAD TO INVEST IN ANOTHER SAFER VEHICLE DUE TO THIS F250. HAPPENED ONCE WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED AND NEARLY CAUSED US TO GET REAR ENDED BY A SEMI ON THE FREEWAY.

Mileage: 8,500

AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE IT INITIATES EXTREMELY SEVERE SHAKING/WOBBLE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE TRUCK. THE SHAKING/WOBBLE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. THE TRUCK IS 11 MONTHS OLD. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST EVENT WAS IN OCTOBER 2019 AT 17,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THE LAST TIME IN DECEMBER 2019 WITH 20,400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

TRUCK FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING AN IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACE OR EXPANSION JOINT DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS - THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE TO SPEEDS AROUND 20 MPH TO STOP THE "WOBBLE" AND RESUME DRIVING - THIS PRESENTS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS CONDITION DUE TO HAVING TO BRAKE SO ABRUPTLY AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION FOR OTHER CARS.

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.

Mileage: 37,000

TRUCK VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP SHAKING.

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. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANTS AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENS. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED BETWEEN 7500 AND 9300 MILES.

MY F250 IS EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY CALL THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT AND BASICALLY SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH IT. NO OFFER FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE OR ANYTHING. I WAS DRIVING ON I20/59 BETWEEN EXIT 8 AND 68 WHEN IT HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SO FAR. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT MY PASSENGER REFUSED TO RIDE AGAIN. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THIS UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO 45 MPH. WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL OUR VACATION FOR CHRISTMAS BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED OF THE VEHICLE. PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK TO BE WORRIED ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED NEWBERRY FAMILY MOTORS (LOCATED AT 126 E B AVE, KINGMAN, KS 67068, (620) 532-3181) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

PURCHASED A 2019 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY, SUPER CREW CAB, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. DROVE GREAT UNTIL 21K MILES. THE NOTORIOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" COMMON TO THESE TRUCKS HAS STARTED. DRIVING I-25 LAST NIGHT, TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE AT 75 MPH WITH LOSS OF ANY CONTROL. IMMEDIATELY LET UP ON THE THROTTLE AND ALLOWED THE TRUCK TO SLOW UNDER 50 MPH AND THE WOBBLE CORRECTED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WITH BALL JOINTS, SUSPENSION, ETC. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. A RELATIVELY NEW TRUCK WITH 20K MILES SHOULD BE JUST BREAKING IN, NOT BROKEN. A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF NOT RECTIFIED.

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. WE HAVE A CRIPPLED $50K TRUCK - CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY! RECALL NEEDED!!!!

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.

UPON REACHING HIGHWAY SPEEDS(APPROXIMATELY 55-75MPH) THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THIS ISSUE STARTED AS MERE OFF TRACKING OF THE FRONT END, THE TRUCK WOULD STEER ITSELF.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ON 11-15-2019 WHILE ON HWY I-95 SOUTH, AT ABOUT 72MPH , MY F250 STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT THE FRONT END AFTER GOING OVER SLIGHTLY ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLES NEAR ME HAD TO AVOID ME UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. HAD I BEEN ON A CURVATURE , I WOULD HAVE SURELY CRASHED.

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.

THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE STARTED WHEN THIS TRUCK HAD ABOUT 16,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN DENVER COLORADO, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER CROSSING A SLIGHTLY ASKEW SEAM BETWEEN THE ROADWAY AND AN OVERPASS. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL WAS TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT AND SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 30 MPH IN 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC . THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN AT ABOUT 17,500 MILES IN SIOUX CITY IOWA UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND AGAIN DRIVING THROUGH MONTANA ON MY WAY BACK TO COLORADO AT ROUGHLY 20,000 MILES. I PULLED OVER IN WYOMING AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. WHEN WAS BACK IN COLORADO I CALLED THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT LOOK AT THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER WEEK. WHILE DRIVING TO A MEETING IN COLORADO SPRINGS I AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AFTER DRIVING OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF HIGHWAY. I DECIDED THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY ASSUMED IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPER SHOCK AND THAT FORD HAD THOUSANDS OF DEFECTIVE SHOCKS FROM RANCHO, THERE SUPPLIER AND THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEW SHOCK BEING MADE BUT HAD NO ETA ON THE PART AND HAD NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE OTHER THAN TO SUGGEST I PUT ON A BETTER AFTERMARKET SHOCK WHICH FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY. I HAD NOT CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME AT 50-55MPH ON A FREEWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65-75MPH. ON MY WAY HOME I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE TWO MORE TIMES, ONE OF WHICH FORCED ME TO PULL ACROSS TWO LANES AND STOP IN MERGE AREA OF A FREEWAY ON RAMP. I HAVE FILED A SECOND COMPLAINT WITH FORD.

I TOOK IT TO THE QUICK LANE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN BAKERSFIELD ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE DRAG LINK, THAT IT HAD BROKEN AND THEY HAD REPLACED IT.

ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TAKE FOOT OF ACCELERATOR AND HIT BRAKE TRUCK IS TWO MONTHS OLD WITH 6,600 MILES ON ODO. STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEM ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO.

THINKS IS ENGINE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT KNOW CAUSE BUT FIRST APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE IS 2 WEEKS OUT AND I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE TRUCK. SAYS CANNOT FIX IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. VERY INTERMITTENT AND I CANNOT REPLICATE SO UNLIKELY THEY WILL. THIS IS NOT AN ENGINE PROBLEM, IS SCARY WHEN HAPPENS, AND FEELS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ME.

DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WHEN ENTERING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 75-80MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON INTERSTATE WAS 80MPH), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLANTLY IN THE FRONT STEERING WHEEL, ALMOST LIKE A TIRE CAME OFF. I HAD A VEHICLE IN THE PASSING LANE BESIDE ME WITH A HORSE TRAILER ON AND IT WAS BAD ENOUGH HE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED AWAY FROM US AS I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO SLOW IT DOWN AND GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, UNTIL IT HIT ABOUT 20 OR 25MPH AND STOPPED SHAKING. I OWN JK JEEPS, SO I KNOW WHAT THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE FEELS LIKE AS I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR IT ON MY LIFTED JEEPS, BUT THIS IS A 2019 F250 WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON IT AND WELL, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I LIVE IN WYOMING & TRAVEL WITH THIS TRUCK AS A WORK VEHICLE AND TRAVEL IN THE PACIFIC NW, AND WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN WINTER DRIVING CONDITION AND SNOW AND ICE ON THE ROAD. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER! WHEN I CONTACTED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN, BUT DOUBTED THEY HAD ANY OPTIONS AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. KIND OF CONCERNING!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE". I SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 15 MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, IT DID IT AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH MY FAMILY, AND I HAD TO PUT ON WARNING LIGHTS, AND SLOW DOWN TO AN UNSAFE SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. LATER THAT WEEK, A COLLEAGUE BORROWED MY TRUCK AND WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY THAT NEEDED REPAIRS, AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AROUND 15 TIMES. AT THIS TIME, I WON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYWHERE OVER 40 MPH DUE TO FEAR OF HARMING MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY. WHEN THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS, YOU LOSE COMPLETE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TIGHT AND HOPE YOU CAN SLOW DOWN SAFELY. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE OVER 40 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A SLOW RADIUS IN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50MPH I HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSED VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH MOST REFER TO AS "DEATH WOBLE". THIS CAUSED THE FRONT END TO LOOSE TRACTION AND SCOOT ACROSS THE ROAD. TO OVERCOME IT I HAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN MY RATE OF SPEED. MY CURRENTLY HAS 2857 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO LESSER AMOUNTS PREVIOUSLY.

IN DEC OF 2018 THE FORD F250 EXHIBITED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHICH HAPPENS WHEN GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ONRAMP ENTERING HIGHWAY OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT OR POTHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 45-50 MPH. THE TRUCK EXPERIENCE EXTREME "BUMP STEER" AND HARMONIC OSCILLATIONS SO HARSH AS TO SEEM LIKE IT WAS A MULTIPLE TIRE BLOW OUT. DEALER TESTED AND EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE. HAD 32,727 MILES ON THE TRUCK AT THE TIME. FORD TSB 18-2268 SUPPOSEDLY WAS THE APPLIED FIX. HOWEVER WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND EXPANSION JOINTS THERE IS STILL A SLIGHT BUMP STEER AND SHIMMY BUT NOT ENOUGH TO OSCILLATE HARMONICALLY. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS ON THE SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. THIS IS A CONTROL ISSUE RELATED TO BOTH PART FAILURES AND DESIGN AS MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THESE INCIDENTS BEFORE 20,000 MILES. PARTS SHOULD NOT BE WEARING OUT THIS SOON.
