2019 FORD F-350 Suspension Problems

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that on three occasions while driving approximately 60 MPH, the front end of the vehicle started to wobble violently. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle decelerated below 30 MPH, the wobbling ceased. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. The contact’s wife observed an unknown recall that might be associated with the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 75 MPH, the vehicle started shaking violently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over to inspect the vehicle; however, the contact found no fault with the vehicle. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,500.

Front steering/suspension system Severe wobble causes driver to stop in middle of Freeway, possible accidents or death in an accident. Not confirmed by dealer at this time. Hundreds have reported here, and the same occured. Not at this time. No warnings prior to all of the failures. So far 12 failures Yes, 12 failures.

DEATH WOBBLE, front suspension and steering Danger of a rear end collision at freeway speeds, or loss of control hitting other vehicles or items on the side of the road, result possible death to passengers, other vehicle people or bystanders. NO NO NONE I am a former Mechanic and this is LIFE THREATENING.

My truck has only 13000 miles on it. We were going on vacation pulling our camper. I was doing about 63 MPH when we hit a bump in the interstate and the truck started VIOLENTLY shaking out of control. They cal it the death wobble. After doing some research it seams to be a very common problem that ford will not fully address. They put a bandage over a serious issue. They put me, my family and others in very serious danger. It took everything I had to keep us from going in the ditch. A vehicle with only 13000 miles on it should not experience something like this.

In June 2024, I experienced serious sustained steering wheel oscillation to the point of having to stop the vehicle while traveling over 70 mph to regain control before proceeding on my way. I scheduled an appointment with my dealer (Woody Anderson Ford, Huntsville, AL) after July 4th weekend and was assigned an appointment date of August 9, 2024 at 10:00am. In May 2024, after traveling about 47 mph over a semi-diagonal railroad tracks on level pavement, the steering became violent but was recoverable after reducing speed to under 20 mph. This was the second instance. In March 2024, after transitioning across a section of highway in town at about +/- 45 mph, which the highway had appeared to have been poorly repaired my steering began to oscillate but I was able to recover with no concern. This was the first instance.

While on a ramp to merge onto a highway, slightly downhill, a small ripple in the pavement joint caused the front wheels and steering wheel to shake violently and nearly lost control of the vehicle. Was traveling at approximately 40-50mph and could not steer the truck and the out of control shaking did not stop until I was able to slow to maybe 5-10mph. I was towing a trailer and if I had not been on a wide roadway late at night, going straight with little traffic around me, it's very likely I would have had a serious accident. The truck has 40,000 miles on it and tires etc are in good condition as this is a federal government owned and maintained vehicle. I see no recalls or service bulletins for the vin, but found hundreds of complaints online of the exact situation and referred to as out of control "death wobble". This is a serious issue and people will very likely be in serious and fatal accidents if not already.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH and positioned between two tractor-trailers, the vehicle suddenly experienced the "Death Wobble". The vehicle began to violently shake and vibrate, and the steering wheel became extremely difficult to control, causing the driver to fear for his safety while driving between the two tractor-trailers. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions after driving over a bump in the road. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 86,000.

Mileage: 86,000

The front tie rod adjusting sleeve pulled apart from the tie rod end. The threads were stripped off so where you can just pull it off and on. It caused me to drive almost into a tree where I lost complete control of the truck. I did not hit any potholes or bumps that would have caused any damage. There is NO WAY that these two parts should have came apart. This is a severe safety hazard. The tow truck driver said he saw the SAME THING the day before on another Ford truck so clearly this is becoming an issue. I only have 90,000 miles on my truck so there isn't a lot of wear and tear on it either. I have photos of the parts after the incident and I've taken it to my repair shop to get it fixed. He also said that this should have never have happened and its very strange that it did. I had no prior warning of it happening - no shaking, thumping, rattling... nothing to tell me that there was an issue.

I own a 2019 Ford F-350 SD. While driving 60 MPH and driving over a pothole, the vehicle started to shake uncontrollably and pulling the vehicle to the left. Luckily I was in the left lane and only went onto the berm, If I had been in the right lane I would have hit the vehicle beside me. I pulled over on the side of the road and once I got below 25 miles and hour the vehicle stopped shaking. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 28,400. When is Ford going to be forced to fix this known problem, when someone is killed?

Death Wabble Twice all 6 wheels shook as though falling off. Semi truck behind hit airhorn and locked up brakes to avoid hitting me at 75mph..i had to immediately slow to 20mph to stop castrophe

Severe uncontrollable shaking of the front wheels. I had to slow down to about 10 miles an hour on the freeway, people has to swerve to avoid me. It has happened 4 times in the last 3,000 miles. The date below is the most recent time it happened. I'll be taking it to the Ford Dealership.

EXCESSIVE SHAKE AND UNCONTROLABLE STEERING WHEN RIDING ON ROUGH SURFACE OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. EFFECT WILL NOT DISSAPATE UNTIL VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RECENTLY.

Experiencing what’s known as the “death wobble.”

Sustained steering oscillation on two (2) occasions. July 16th and Aug 4th. Had to slow down both times for it to stop.

Steering suspension has been failing over and over for months. Several severe incidents while driving 70+ mph down the road. Complete loss of control of the vehicle, uncontrollable death wobbles. One incident put me in a ditch, while the others were near collisions. First incident - was no longer able to drive above 30mph without sever death wobble. After “repairs”, recreated the issue at 75 mph and I’m unable to drive safely above 35 mph. Ford has confirmed many parts needing replacement but will not take ownership in replacing them. First incident -$5,300. Second incident - nearly $2500. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any notification of failure prior to incident. The entire front end of these vehicles need to be recalled. There is a class action lawsuit for a reason. I’m unable to sell my truck, or drive it do to costly RECURRING repairs. I’m fearful for my life in my Ford.

We are trying to make it out of the mountains of Colorado and back home to Missouri. We have the most horrific shaking on our truck. I am scared to death. This "death wobble" is TERRIBLE! I want someone to know now in case we die! We have a horse trailer loaded down with 4 horses and 2 dogs. There should be a recall for this!!!!

When driving over 50 mph, or while driving on a bumpy surface, the entire truck aggressively shakes until you either slow extremely down or stop. This has occurred appropriately 8-10 times.

Driving down i70 in Colorado and hit a section where there is concrete. One of the cracks in the concrete caused the steering wheel to vibrate uncontrollably until the speed dropped below 50 mph. During the incident braking made the vibration worse and it felt as though the front of the truck was bouncing at a rapid rate. Steering in any direction was nearly impossible. I have a service scheduled to look at this in a few weeks but until then I fear driving as it was a complete loss of control. This happened a few more times on the journey home and seems to be tied to bumps in the road when traveling over 55 mph. This incident happened without warning and did not cause any warning lights to appear. This truck has less than 15k miles on it so I was surprised it would behave this way.

While driving at any speed above 30mph the front end wobbles violently whenever the truck hits potholes or big bumps in the road!

Was driving in middle lane eastbound I-84 with cruise control set at 65 mph. Upon a lane bump from paving construction, the truck began a violent shaking, which is consistent with a problem know as "death wobble". slowed down immediately and stopped at side of interstate. Inspected tires, and there was no flat tire. No outward signs of tire damage . Drove at 20-25 mph to next exit. Was able to drive home about 20 miles at slow speed.

I’ve experienced 3 nearly identical incidents: after driving over bumps in the road or uneven pavement, my F350 went into an uncontrolled wobble, violently shaking, causing total loss of steering control. In each case, the uncontrolled wobble only stopped after I slowed the vehicle to under 15 mph. Because these incidents occurred on major freeways with fast moving traffic, a significant danger was posed to me and my passengers and other drivers. After searching online resources, I read several similar instances of this happening to other F350/250 owners, aka “the death wobble.”

08 Apr 2023 vehicle hit a pot hole and we almost went into ditch when it began to wobble uncontrollably. We were traveling on the hwy and almost caused an accident to the vehicles behind us. Very frightening. 16 Apr 2023, hit a small pot hole vehicle began to wobble uncontrollably, took us again almost into the ditch. It occurred four more times trying to get home from airport. We scared traveling in this vehicle now because of these incidents. We are filing an official complaint on Ford.

Experienced the Ford Death Wobble approximately July 1, 2022. After going over a small pothole at 65 mph, vehicle experienced severe wobble and pulled from far right lane to shoulder and veered toward cement wall at 65mph! Braking caused increase in wobble. Was finally able to slow vehicle to exit highway. No prior issues with wobble nor any warning. Shaking and nearly crying, I slowly drove to Big O shop who confirmed wobble and recommended Dealer address problem. Slowly drove to Ford dealer which took two days to confirm issue and inform me that parts were backordered and would call when available. (As of 3/23/23 no call.) Ford told me to not drive over 45mph, essentially making my truck useless. Slowly drove back to Big O and had them repair at my cost ~$1600, Ford reimbursed ~$250. On 3/21/23, driving 65mph over small bump in road, experienced Death Wobble again and pulled to side of highway. Slowly drove to Big O and had additional parts installed ~$330. Scared to drive my truck over 45mph!

I was accelerating to get on the freeway and there was a slight bump or crease in the pavement and my front end started to bounce and warble uncontrollably, fortunately I was able to pull off of the on-ramp and come to a stop with out incident. This was not the first time I noticed this, but it was definitely the worst.

Death Wobble, the steering wheel shook violently. I could not control the vehicle and had to stop in the middle of the road to make it quit. This has happened before. It was serviced for this problem once.

experiencing intermittent violent wobble of front suspension/steering. 2 significant events since October 2022. Traveling at highway speed and incurring rough road steering wheel wobbles severally. Only way to stop it is to slow down below approximately 50 mph, however latest event (02/14/23), had to go below 20 mph to get it to stop. very dangerous on the highway. Tractor trailer had to change lanes very quickly to avoid hitting me. Ford dealership is aware of the issue, however they only offer a new steering dampener that has not been available for almost 4 months. Had an independent service center look at the suspension. They found that the dampener is faulty and another suspension joint is showing premature wear.

3 different occasions where my trucks front wheels and steering wheel shakes uncontrollably after hitting a pothole or bridge transition. Twice pulling a fifth wheel camper and once by itself. Very scary. Twice I had to come to a near stop before I could continue. Death wobble they call it. Took to Ford dealership who said the fix is a steering damper which is on national back order with no release date. It has happened once again since then for a total of 4 times. Never know when it will happen. Just depends on the bridge transition or pothole. Ford needs to correct this steering problem

When I hit a bump with this truck the steering shakes violently. I brought to ford and they said it is a steering dampner and it is a recalled part and they would fix it as a recall however they said they dont have the part and they dont know when the part will be available. I am now left with an undriveable truck and no one can tell me when it can be fixed.

My 2019 F-350 lariat power stroke 23,500 miles has experienced a shaking in the steering on the freeway multiple times previously, it seemed to happen when a bump or uneven part of the road was felt. The last time 1/11/23 it shook uncontrollably on the freeway until the truck was slowed to 20MPH. I had both hands tightly gripped on the steering wheel and could not control it- until the speed was reduced to 20 MPH. Other vehicles on the freeway had to avoid my truck as I had to lower the speed well below the minimum speed limit on the freeway which could have caused a crash. After consulting the dealer and another mechanic the term used for this condition is the death wobble. The truck is unsafe. It was brought in to the authorized Ford dealer in Wisconsin. They said there is a fix for this issue but it’s backordered and has been backordered for sometime. I asked the dealer for a date when I might see this part and was told it’s backordered with no expectation of a date for the part. The truck is not safe to drive. Now I have to pick it up from the dealer without a resolution- basically drive the unsafe truck home and park it until Ford can get me the part.

Vehicle front end started to violently shake when hitting small bumps while driving over 55 mph. When this happens, I have to slam on the brakes to get the vehicle back below 40 mph to stop the shaking, then can accelerate back to speed.....only to happen again when hitting a bump. The dealer states that it is worn parts on a vehicle with less than 20,000 miles on it. The vehicle has been at the dealer waiting on backordered parts for over 3 months. Ford is not taking responsibility for the issue. The vehicle is unsafe to drive in it's current condition.

Truck violently shakes when vehicle traverses over pothole while traveling over 55 mph. Commonly called the “ford death wobble”. Taken to Ford dealership twice, each time told they can’t replicate the issue.

While operating my 2019 F350 on 12/3/2022 at approximately 65 MPH on an interstate the steering wheel began to shake/pulse violently from left to right for approximately 40 seconds. I was unable to control the vehicle during this time. About 2 minutes later the exact same symptoms appeared again, even more violently. I had a passenger in the vehicle record the second incident. During these incidents it is next to impossible to control the vehicle. This is an ongoing issue which Ford is aware of...a quick search online and you'll see this is referred to as the "Super Duty Death Wobble". My vehicle was repaired 3 times for this same issue prior to the incident which is mentioned above. The dealer installed an aftermarket part, which was authorized by Ford at the time. However, Ford now no longer authorizes the use of this part. The correct part has been on backorder forever and many doubt that it will ever be shipped for installation into vehicles. Both Ford and the NHTSA have failed consumers by never mandating recall for this steering issue in Ford Super Duty trucks. I am now forced to try and drive a truck with serous safety issue because both the OEM and federal government have failed to ensure that safety standards were met. The dealer has informed me that they can make no further repairs for this issue and that Ford has directed them to await the replacement parts.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH and driving over a rough patch of roadway, the steering wheel started jerking to the left and the right. The vehicle had experienced the death wobble. The contact slowed down to 30 MPH and the vehicle started driving properly. The contact resumed driving 55 MPH and the vehicle drove normally. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the sway bar needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

Mileage: 12,000

Upon crossing a bridge expansion joint at around 65 -70 mph, the vehicle steering began to shake violently side to side. I was able to quickly reduce my speed and the shaking subsided once I was able to slow to around 40 mph. I have not contacted the ford dealer yet, but do recall seeing mention of this specific problem before. I started searching the internet for answers where I came upon the recommendation to report this dangerous incident to your agency.

While driving on the two lane freeway at approximately 65mph in the right lane, a lane change to the left lane was initiated as a slower moving truck was in the right lane. Following the lane change to the left lane, the front left tire hit the pavement recess accommodating the yellow reflector embedded in the pavement, which was on the inside of the fog line. Upon impact with the reflector recess the vehicle front end and steering wheel began to shake violently. The steering wheel shook side-to-side so violently that it shook the drivers hands, arms, shoulders and head back and forth so quickly and violently that the drivers vision was impaired; the driver could see but all objects were blurred due to the shaking. Fortunately the left shoulder was paved and an area to the left of the shoulder was also paved (but not maintained perhaps a construction related turn around or cross over). Steering was severely impaired. With great difficulty the vehicle was steered off of the left lane onto the shoulder and then stopped on the additional paved area to the left of the paved shoulder. The violent vehicle and steering shaking subsided ONLY following stopping the vehicle. Had this incident occurred in heavy traffic, on a two lane road or a road without shoulders the outcome may well have ended in loss of control of the vehicle. Ford acknowledges that its Super Duty 4x4 vehicle experience "Death Wobble"; a violent shaking of the front end and steering. This incident was a "Death Wobble" incident: initiated by a bump encountered by one front wheel, violent shaking of the steering and front end, loss of steering control, continued shaking until stopped. Ford has offered to repair, but there are no parts available. This vehicle defect must be considered for recall and immediate long term repair. The vehicle in this incident was a 2019 Ford F350 Super Duty with approximately 38,000 miles. Part wear is unlikely with such a low-mileage vehicle, as acknowledged by Ford.

I was crossing a railroad at 50-55 miles per hour and the front end started shaking violently and was barely able to control it . almost had to stop to get the shaking to stop.

Ford has issued a recall on the steering dampener. The ford brand part is on back order. There are several aftermarket options available however ford refuses to cover the costs of these parts. They are also refusing to cover the cost of a rental vehicle similar to what I a currently driving. Basically forcing me to drive a vehicle with a serious steering defect.

Several small issues with F-350 but nothing to stop using until yesterday. I was running along about 45 mph and front began to shake and in fact so bad started bouncing about 1’ to 2’ high. I did not brake or speed up but took foot off gas and slowed down to approx 15mph and stopped. I was in traffic so went back to 45 mph and has not acted up since. But this could have been disaster.

Death Wobble was a consistent problem. Driving at approximately 40-60 mph and the front end and steering wheel shook violently after hitting a bump in the road. I have an extended warranty and Ford repaired it yesterday (I hope). They said it was caused by loose parts. Here is a list of their repairs: Installed BC3Z 3050 C : Joint ASY - Ball Installed AC3Z 3A116 A : Bush - Front Suspension AR Installed HC3Z 3304 A : Rod ASY - Drag link Installed 3A131 B : Ind ASY - Drag link rod Replaced loose parts Track bar ball joint Track bar bushing Upper drag link, lower drag link, right hand tire rod end. Steering dampener shock Installed RS5415 : Rancho Steering dampener Installed HC3Z 3A131 H : End - Spindle Rod Connection Alignment #629

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH and driving over a pothole, the vehicle was vibrating and shaking abnormally. The contact stated that he felt the vibration coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact stated that several minutes later the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 11,000.

Mileage: 11,000

On 4 separate occasions while driving my truck under 60 mph, the truck started shaking violently. The steering froze and the complete chassis, frame and body shook and felt like it was falling apart. It only subsided when I decelerated below 30 mph.

After traversing across a bridge the truck started shaking violently. I could not keep the truck under control and it started to ver off the interstate to the shoulder. Once the truck slowed down to about 30 mph the truck stopped shaking. I was towing a 39’ camper. Once the shaking started I had absolutely no control of the truck. This truck only has 35,000 miles on it and should not be experiencing steering and suspension failure. After researching this is a very common issue with these trucks.

Traveling with fifth wheel out of home state and the steering wheel and front end starts shaking violently. Was on the interstate when this happened. This has happened now three times and I’m concerned I may loose control and crash.

Traveling at 60 miles per hour I hit a bump in the freeway and the truck went into uncontrollable shake and jumped around like a pogo stick until I came to a stop. Pulled to the side of the road and checked wheels and looked at the suspension but didn't see anything unusual. Traveled normally after that. I only have 22,000 miles on this truck and have had bouncing and jumping before when traveling over bumps but it had been quite mild compared the what just happened. Luck we didn't hit or get hit!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle experienced a death wobble. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact parked the vehicle on the side of the road. The contact was able to drive the vehicle under 40 MPH to a local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 248,000.

Mileage: 248,000

Death wobble horrific experience (2)x on 9/15/22 after work on the interstate coming home. Almost rear ended by 18 wheeler. Travel speed 74. 6-lane highway, I had to control the vehicle best as possible in order to move over (3) lanes safely. Cars raced past blaring their horns b:c accident almost happened. Again on 9/18/22, merging on the interstate travel speed 60 with trailer attached. It was a VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE! I almost got killed not to mention another person could’ve lost their life too! This defect IS NO JOKE!! Ford should take responsibility & RECALL THESE VEHICLES!!! Do we have to die before they decide to fix a defective part(s)? I love my F350, & only source of transportation. I can’t afford to repair it at the moment. But Ford can at No charge to me. $65k vehicle, $3k parts/labor on a defect known by Ford & they’re not gonna take care of their customers?? WTF!!! I’ll sue Ford - safety is priority but not to Ford!

Extreme shaking / loss of control when hitting bump (Ford “Death Wobble”) No accident, was able to slow to a stop and regain control. Happened a few times, had to keep extremely slow to get home.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH and driving over a bump on the roadway, the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. The contact pulled over but was unaware of the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the tires and suspension was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 168,000.

I have less then 40k on my 2019 f350 and I was driving home from work on August 24th on a back country road and all of a sudden my truck went into a complete shake as if I was going over rumble strips times 10... I was only going maybe 70km hr on dry/smooth road. I stopped the truck got out and looked at all my tires and nothing to be seen. Proceeded to head home and all was fine again. When this happened I had very little control of steering. This scares the absolute crap out of me as I haul horses all the time on the hwy's and if this was to happen doing higher speed hauling, I am scared of the outcome. I am a very experienced driver and hauling, driven all across Canada and the States hauling high end horses even in Europe. I am hoping a fix is in the very near future as if I was to lose my life or one of my animals life because of this... NOT GOOD for a anyone. thanks

While traveling on the highway and going over uneven pavement the truck began shaking violently and i lost control of said vehicle. once slowed below 40 mph I regained control.

Starting 3 weeks ago I experienced a very heavy and almost uncontrollable shaking in my steering and suspension after hitting a rough patch on the road. Since then it has occurred at least 7 additional times. I am now a bit hesitant to drive the truck. The truck is available for inspection and the dealer has confirmed this is a known problem often termed as the Death Wobble. The truck has not been inspected by anyone yet and there were no warnings of any kind prior to the many times it has happened. I took it to the dealer within a couple of days of the first incident and they have parts on back order but still nothing to fix my truck with after almost 5 weeks. I called the hotline in the letter that Ford sent out regarding the extended warranty for this issue and they said they would take care of it but I have not heard back from them today (I called yesterday and they said I would get a call before EOB today).

intermittent "death wobble" from front tires. Has been happening since about 4000 miles. First dealer said nothing was wrong, then they replaced steering stabilizer under recall, then they replaced track bar. Then they said they can't find anything wrong. Truck is still wobbling at 39000 miles. Truck is 100% stock

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated that upon driving over a bump in the road, the vehicle would shake uncontrollably. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the violent shaking ceased after the vehicle slowed down. The contact called the dealer and was informed that the vehicle could not be diagnosed until the end of the month. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000.

Mileage: 39,000

While driving down the road we got the death wobble after hitting a bump in the road. The truck violently shook and was unable to steal until the truck stopped. After that the truck was drivable again until it happens again.

The steering started wobbling very bad after hitting a bad section of the highway. I had to almost come to a complete stop for it to quit shaking. These occurred several more times on a 3000 mile trip. I was pulling a 40 ft 5th wheel and made it very hard to control. I have the truck at the ford dealer to check it out. There were no warnings before the first time it happened.

On 7/22/2022 I was driving on I80 in Salt Lake City, UT at approx 3:30 pm. The weather was clear the highway was dry. I was traveling at 55 MPH and hit a pothole. The truck began to wobble violently and required I come to complete stop on the shoulder before it stopped wobbling. I then progressed slowly to determine if it had rectified and proceeded to my destination. Since that time I have experienced continued wobble when I go over expansion joints or bumps, but not as violent as the one in SLC. It resolves fairly quickly with minor deceleration. I will be contacting a FORD Dealer about this issue to get it rectified. I have spoken to other F350 owners that have had similar experiences.

At 32k miles sudden development of a severe steering wheel shake after a small bump in the road. It now happens repeatedly at highway speed under normal driving conditions. I am required to slow to under 30mph to allow the shake to stop. This happens when just driving the truck as well as anytime I am pulling out 35ft 5th wheel home. The first few times it happened, I was able to keep the truck and trailer straight until I slowed enough. More recently it is harder to keep the truck going straight as the ability to steer during this event is diminished. Two ford dealers have told me it’s just how the truck is. I have another appointment just for this issue on August 1, 2022.

During the past two weeks while pulling a 5th wheel trailer I have experienced multiple incidents of violent front end shaking; a feeling that the front of my truck is almost floating from side-to-side and a rapid jerking of the steering wheel back and forth. The only way to regain control of the vehicle is a hard breaking to slow the truck from my normal towing speed of 65 mph to around 40 mph. When this happens in heavy traffic pulling a 12,000-pound trailer I’m afraid I will hit a vehicle on either side of me or be hit by a vehicle from behind due to the hard breaking. It happened 3 times on the same day during a recent 400-mile travel day along I-40. The events were precipitated by rough road, potholes, transitions between the roadway and a bridge, etc.

When driving at highway speed encountering a rough stretch of road or a crack, bridge interface or substantial crack in the road surface the truck will begin an extreme vibration and the steering wheel will shudder violently. The only way to gain control is to slow down to at least 30 or 35 miles per hour which is dangerous to do in busy traffic. This has occurred 7 times within the last 6 weeks.

During normal highway driving 50 mph and over the front wheels start to hop uncontrollably causing loss of control and steering until you slow way down or stop on the highway to get them back under control. dealer installed a new steering stabilizer over a year ago and problem has returned dealer checked on front end alignment showed all parameters in factory spec. offered to put in another stabilizer but they are not available. I purchased and installed an aftermarket stabilizer which for now seems to help. dealer offered to tweak the alignment to eliminate this problem at a cost of $600.00 to me Frustrating that a new truck could lose control at highway speeds and the Mfg. is not being held responsible or willing to correct a factory known problem at no cost to the customer

Several occurrences of violent sustained steering oscillation at high speeds, also known as death wobble. Front end steering components failing/worn out at 55k miles. Violent shaking of front end on interstate, little to no control of vehicle. The only way to get this frightening death wobble event to stop is to slow down to nearly a stop on the interstate which put driver and passenger at rick or being rear ended or causing another type of accident. Vehicle does not feel safe to drive, every bump or expansion joint in the road is a stress inducing concern when driving. Ford offering steering stabilizer replacement but identified that the truck needs tie rods and a new drag link as well to get this death wobble to stop. Ford should recall these components for safety reasons.

I was traveling down an interstate (60 mph)and hit a bump in the road. The vehicle and steering wheel started to shake violently. I had to abruptly apply my brakes to reduce my speed to 30MPH to regain control of my vehicle. All this while towing a 36 Feet long camper. This happened 3 times within a 10 mile distance.

We have been afflicted by the notorious Ford "death wobble" on our F-350XL multiple times. Twice, Haldeman Ford on Rt.33 claims to have "fixed" it only for it to happen yet again. The 3rd time it occurred, my field crew was on the PA Turnpike when the steering wheel began shaking so violently it caused the driver to lose control and hit a cement median. Somehow no one was hurt and no other motorists were involved but someone could've easily been hurt or killed due to this defect. We then towed it back to Haldeman Ford for yet another warranty "repair". The third time we were flat-out accused of lying and that we had caused the damage ourselves. After going back-and-forth on the phone Haldeman, they flat-out refused to honor any warranty and would not help us unless we paid for everything out of pocket so we decided to retrieve our truck and begin the process of filing complaints and working with our lawyer and insurance company to see how this can be resolved without us spending thousands of dollars that we shouldn't have to due to a poorly manufactured and defective product. I've searched the issue online and there are thousands of motorists experiencing the same issue with their Ford so there is absolutely no reason they should be accusing us and pretending like the issue doesn't exist. As you will see from the uploaded documents the first instance of the defect occurred after only ~12k miles and the 3rd instance at ~27.5k. Please help us hold Ford accountable before someone ends injured or dead.

Doing 55 mph on the highway hitting a small bump in the road and the whole front end started shaking and had a hard time controlling the truck. The steering wheel was actually shaking. Had to slow down to get it to drive correctly. I haul a horse trailer and this could have been fatal. Took it two different Ford dealers and got two different solutions. One wanted to replace suspension parts and the other ordered a steering damper which is on back order.Took it in May 31 and today is June 9. Took vehicle to Westfield Ford and Willowbrook Ford in Illinois. Willowbrook R/0 Number 6373200/1.

Multiple times after hitting a small bump at anywhere between 35-60 mph the steering wheel locks and the entire truck shakes violently. It will continue doing this until I stop the vehicle completely. Once it started doing it again as I accelerated after it had stopped. It seems to get worse. I’ve read it is a mechanical fault and causes “Ford death rattle”. It is very dangerous and I have almost lost control of the vehicle.

lost control of the front steering. Was going around a curve on a bridge when suddenly the vehicle started to shake which caused me to lose control of the steering wheel. I came very close to hitting the side of the bridge. it was a good thing I was in a single lane as the pickup was going from side to side. This really freaked out my wife as well as me. She does not want to ride in this very expensive truck again. I am taking in the vehicle 5/23/2022 to have it looked at. Guess at this point hopefully they can tell me what is wrong. Nothing prepared me for what was about to happen. I am very upset at ford and the dealership for not informing about this DEATH WOBBLE problem

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the front wheels and steering wheel began to shake abnormally. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact slowed down and continued driving. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that she continued to experience the failure and the death wobble while driving. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

Mileage: 14,000

Driving on freeway at 65 mph I hit a small bump on the overpass and my truck steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably. The wheels were as if they had not been balanced and I had very little control of my truck. I felt that I didn't have any control of my vehicle and I could hardly hang onto the steering wheel. I was able to merge off to the side and once I got to a lower speed of 25 the truck seemed to go back to normal. I took the truck into a Ford dealer and they told me it was considered the death wobble. They did some adjustment and sent me on my way. They told me there has been no recall on this issue.

Experience death wobble on front suspension 5 times yesterday on Highway 30 in Nebraska. Violent shaking and had to pull to side of road to stop the vibration. Slowing down on the highway at speeds of 60 mph placed risk of accident based on vehicles behind me on the highway. No warnings, generate every time after hitting a bump in the road surface.

I have read about the Ford F-250/F-350 Death wobble. It happened to me yesterday, 5/10/22, twice. I hit a bump at 55-60 mph and the front end started shaking like it was going to come out from underneath the truck. I had to stop on a 2 lane road with no shoulder to get it under control.

The Famous Ford Death Wobble....comes and goes mainly when running speed limit on hwy and come to a bridge or hump in road...feels like your going to loose control...sometimes its so bad have to pull over..It puts myself and employees at risk plus could easily put others in danger.... Have contact ford dealer....first time took in they said tech couldnt get it to do it have another appointment because it seems to be happening more and more...just getting upset paying this much for a truck and there is so recall yet to fix...common problem its all over the internet, no lights of any kind and yes available for inspection. Truck has done it here and there since 15000 miles and only has 34000 on it now

On several occasions while driving at highway speeds (60 and above) the vehicle begins to violently shake after crossing over uneven pavement such as expansion joints or rough spots, ( Death Wabble) The only way to stop the shaking is to slow down to about 20 mph. Doing this in the middle of freeway traffic is extremely dangerous and quite alarming. After the first couple of times the dealer replaced the steering dampening system 6months ago,, it solved the problem for a time but it has now begun again. The vehicle has only 33,000 miles on it, unfortunately this is the 2nd ford f-350 I have had this problem with the first one was a 2012, the dealer had rebuilt the front end twice to try and solve the problem both time it worked for awhile and then returned. When I traded it in for the new 2019 i was assured ford no longer had the problem. This issue seems to be very common with these trucks and Ford should address the issue before there are serious accidents as a result of this issue.

“Death Wobble” Several times I have had a mild bump in the road and almost completely lost control of the truck. The entire truck begins vibrating violently and I have to break hard to regain control.

Driving the truck, 2019 F350 with 9935 miles, at over 60 MPH on a highway and striking two or more small bumps, like on a bridge entry. The whole steering wheel shakes violently and I cannot hold it. The front end of the vehicle shakes as well and feels like it is coming apart. I have to slow down to 20 MPH or less to get the shaking to stop. I am an ASE mechanic and I have never seen something like this. It is like the front end "harmonizes" with the shaking and will not stop at speed. The situation is extremely dangerous as I cannot hold the wheel because of the violent shaking and to slow down and stop in traffic is also dangerous. I cannot imagine if I was towing something...SO DANGEROUS! I looked online and found the exact written symptoms and in videos. They call the the "front end death wobble". It appears to be a known issue and Ford has not done a recall. I cannot believe I paid $60k plus for a truck and it has less than 10k miles and feels like it is coming apart when the shaking happens. When the wheels shake I cannot control the steering at all. At 60 plus MPH this is EXTREMELY dangerous and can cause an accident very easily. I am attempting to get into the dealer but they say they can't see it until May? No warning lamps come on and once the vehicle slows and the shaking stops it "acts fine" until you are going highway speed and hit another bump. This has happened twice now. All similar circumstances. PLEASE HELP!

My truck has a front suspension problem, known as "death wobble." I tried to search death wobble on the Ford website, but did not find any results. I was traveling on an interstate highway yesterday, when I encountered some bumps in the road surface. Upon hitting the bumps my truck started to violently shake (oscillate) in the front end and would not stop till the truck went from about 60 mph to 40 mph. Meanwhile I was in the middle of traffic traveling on the interstate with cars/trucks behind and on either side of my truck. Luckily there was no collision. This happened three times yesterday, while I was driving my family. My family was visible shaken by these occurrences. Yesterday's occurrences were the 7th or 8th time this has happened. The first started around 5000 or so miles. I have been driving this vehicle with this problem. I have not yet scheduled an appointment with a Ford dealer but, will do so in the coming weeks. I have another complaint. I have a transient sensor problem, which occurs once every few weeks, for no apparent reason. I will be driving the truck and all of a sudden, I will get a series of messages including these: service advance track check brakes hill decent not available pre-collision not available The brakes continue to operate, but the other features are not available, as far as I can tell. While I did like this truck when I first receive it, now I feel that either Ford needs to fix this truck or give me my money back.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The failure recurred while driving approximately 50 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Mileage: 30,000

My truck developed a severe steering problem. It is called the “Death Wobble” and is a harmonic vibrating and shaking of the front end and steering wheel. While traveling down highway 93 near Kingman AZ we experienced the first episode. It starts when the truck crosses over an uneven joint in the pavement or something like that. It happens while going about 65 MPH and starts vibrating and gets continually worse and shakes. The only way to stop it is to slow down to 50 MPH. A couple hours later it did it again on Highway 10 just south of Phoenix. The car behind me almost rear ended me while I was braking hard to get rid of the Death Wobble. TOn the road to Corpus Christie, it did the Death Wobble three times. Two were relatively minor, but one was a hard shaking that really scared us. On the return trip we had an episode that made us both think we were going to die. We were going from Kerrville TX to Las Cruces NM. We were on Highway 10 near Sierra Blanca on a downhill going into a valley. The truck was in cruise control to keep the downhill speed constant. We hit three uneven pavement joints that were close together. The three jolts started violent shaking in the front end. It was hard to hold the steering wheel straight. Suddenly the cruise control went to wide open throttle. I was on the brakes already but now the truck was picking up speed. The brakes had little to no effect on slowing us down. Now at 75 MPH I am pressing the cruise control to turn it off but it does nothing. 80 MPH and I’m trying tow-haul, shut off cruise control, parking brake, but still gaining speed. Finally, I put the truck in neutral and we started to get under control and slow down. I gradually eased onto the shoulder of Highway 10 and rolled to a stop. The Engine is still running wide open at 3800 RPM. I shut off the engine and took a few deep breaths I have never been in such an out-of-control situation in my life. We were both scared to death. On the the trip we had nine more episodes.

The front end suspension system , and it is available for inspection. The vehicle will not stay in one lane when crossing any uneven surfaces, potholes, or road transitions. Upon contact the wheels will bounce, skip, and turn immediately and sharply and can be felt on the steering wheel. Corrections have to be made with a tight grip on the wheel or the car will in fact turn sharply, and it has. This is in itself will cause a life threatening accident, especially when hauling large trailers as is expected of this vehicle, to include total loss of business and personal property in equipment being hauled. The problem has not been preproduced or confirmed, yet. It is currently at the independent mechanic shop to inspect and execute preventative repairs. The issue has occurred more than once while I have been driving the truck, every time the surfaces aforementioned come into contact. Component has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance, yet. We are executing preventative repairs prior to an accident as a result of this issue that has been reported to be lethal or a total loss as a result. I have found that this very issue commonly found in large trucks and Jeeps. There are no warning lamps or lights to indicate the experienced "wobble". The symptoms started only one week after purchasing the truck with only approximately 53,000 miles on it.

Driving down the road on highway hit a slight bump and the whole front end started bouncing (death wobble). Vehicle was uncontrollable and had to come to a complete stop before vehicle front end would stop bouncing. Took to dealer and they replaced the steering damper. I don’t know if this fixed it yet but everything I am reading says it only fixes it for a short period then it comes back. This would suggest there is a different issue that is causing the damper to fail. I only have 11000 miles in vehicle and only used for highway use.

While driving straight down the freeway at about 60mph I drove across an expansion joint and the front of the vehicle began to vibrate violently. I had to slow down quickly to 40mph before it returned to a controlled vehicle. This also happened one time previously while passing over rough pavement in a construction zone at a speed closer to 45mph and it dissipated more quickly, because of lower speed in my opinion. This vehicle has almost always had an erratic reaction to rough pavement at highway speeds, but prior to these two occurrences it has been manageable. My safety and others was put at risk because I had a vehicle that I could not control and I had to brake suddenly in high speed traffic to regain control. The vehicle traveling beside me on the freeway was very anxious to get me to pull over and was making all kinds of gestures trying to show what he had seen. There were no warning lights, symbols or alarms. The vehicle is still under warranty and is currently at the dealership for service. Based on my research it is doubtful they will be able to make a long term fix. this is something that should definitely receive a recall not and federal oversite to insure the safety of hundreds of thousands of trucks.

I was driving the 2019 Ford F-350 XLT ( 027506.7 miles on odometer) on I 94 highway west of Detroit at highway speeds (65-70 mph). Highway had rough/spalling pavement due to winter freeze cycles. Vehicle hit rough patch of highway and vehicle started to violently started to shake and wobble while at the same time steering control of the vehicle was minimal and non responsive. I was able to slow down and eventually get the vehicle off on the shoulder of the highway where the shaking and wobble eventually stopped at slow speed. The incident of shake, wobble and loss of control was repeated on the east bound lane returning to my residence (different stretch of highway mileage). Again this loss of control due to the violent shaking and wobble required slowing down to well below posted speed and getting on to the shoulder of the highway. It took approximately between a quarter to one half of a mile to regain control of the vehicle and have the shaking/ shudder stop. In my view this imposes an extreme safety hazard.

Whenever I hit a bump the front end starts wobbling. The steering wheel shakes. This has been known as the "death wobble". You have to come to a complete stop for it to quit. This can cause accidents as it happens at random times. It has happened on four different occasions thus far.

I was on the interstate traveling at or near the posted speed limit of 70 mph. I crossed over an eroding seam on the roadway at which point the vehicle, and steering wheel, began to shake uncontrollably. I pumped the brakes cautiously and kept the vehicle on the roadway. At approximately 50 mph the shaking quit and I was able to continue my trip without any additional issues.

While driving on freeway between 55 mph and 65 mph the truck shakes violently when driving over an uneven bridge transition or uneven bumps is highway. Impossible to control and had to pull over to stop. This has happened 3 times within a months time

Issue is commonly known as the 'Ford death wobble' where the front end begins shaking violently at highway speeds and does not stop until the vehicle is rapidly slowed down and/or stopped. Control of the vehicle could be lost during this type of event and having to rapidly slow down is a safety issue for other drivers on the road as well. I will be scheduling a service appointment with a dealer, but this issue has been happening widely with Ford trucks for years and is known widely in the Ford owner community.

We were driving on a highway at about 70 mph when the front of the vehicle began to violently shake as if we blew a tire. We slowed down to about 40 and the shaking abruptly stopped. This is not the first or even the second incident. No one seems to know what causes it or how to fix it.

Hit a pot hole, at 65 mph with the front wheel. The hole truck started shacking violently, and I about loss control. I stood on the brakes, and vibrated into the emergency lane. The whole truck stopped shacking below 45 mph. And was fine coming back up to speed, until I hit another pot hole. Please watch YouTube ford death wobble, ford states there is no problem.

While driving on a highway and hitting a small bump the truck starts shaking violently. It caused me to lose control and almost caused me an accident. This has happened a few times and I’m now afraid to drive it. I have not taken it in for repair since this should be a recall that I should not have to pay for. There is only 10,525 miles on it. This flaw is going to end up getting someone killed. This problem started over a year ago.

While driving at highway speeds hit slight transition in road and vehicle steering shakes uncontrollably to the point of extreme danger. Slow down to a stop thinking blown out tire or something snapped in front end. No signs of physical damage. try to limp home find condition is no longer present. It has happened two more times since then with passengers in vehicle on busy roads. Extreme danger situation Ford Can not get it in for diagnosis for 2 weeks.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED AND I HIT ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE FRONT WHEELS TO HOP. FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10 MPH BEFORE I CAN GAIN CONTROL AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAVE TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. DEALER LOOKED AT MY TRUCK AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK AND I HAVE LESS THAN 13,000 MILES! I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY FORD F350 LET ALONE TOWING ANYTHING WITH THIS JUNK. VERY DISAPPOINTING FORD MOTOR COMPANY HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED SERVERAL SUPER DUTIES AND THIS HAS BEEN MY WORST EXPERIENCE. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER!

The vehicle is experiencing a very violent shaking/wobble after hitting a bridge seam or railroad tracks at higher speeds. The violent shaking does not stop until speed is reduced significantly (<40-50 mph). This could be very dangerous in certain situations such as heavy traffic, in a curve, or while towing. The shaking is so violent it certainly puts significant stress on steering components and could eventually cause catastrophic failure and complete loss of steering and control at interstate speed. A brief internet search indicates there are numerous others with this same situation. This truck design has evidently had this issue for many model years. This type of issue should not be occurring to vehicles that are relatively new.

OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS OF TRAVEL - APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES - THIS F350 EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHIMMY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (CRUISING BETWEEN 55 - 68MPH - MAX) SEVEN SEPARATE TIMES, WITH THE LAST 4 EVENTS OCCURRING 11/9/2021 IN IMMEDIATE SUCCESSION (WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER) WHEN LEAVING KINGMAN AZ - HEADING WEST ON I40. EACH TIME THIS VIOLENT SHIMMY SEEMED TO BE PRECIPITATED BY RUNNING OVER ROUGH SECTIONS OF ROAD OR BRIDGE TRANSITIONS, THIS VIOLENT SHIMMY COULD ONLY BE CLEARED BY SLOWING TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE PICKUP TRUCK WAS FULLY LOADED, CLOSE TO THE GVWR. INTERNET RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A KNOWN PHENOMENA AMONG FORD F350 & F250 OWNERS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THINK ABOUT IT, HAVING TO SLOW TO 25 MPH FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS ATTEMPTING TO GET INTO EITHER THE SLOW LANE OR SHOULDER - EVENTUALLY AN ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" IS NOT RESOLVED. I'VE REPORTED THIS SITUATION TO MY JIM BURKE FORD LOCAL DEALER HERE IN BAKERSFIELD CA (WHERE I PURCHASED THE PICKUP) AND HAVE SCHEDULE INVESTIGATION AND HOPEFULLY REPAIR ON 6 DECEMBER.

Our truck begins shaking violently while driving down the highway. This has happened 3 times on the last 5 weeks. It appears to be brought on randomly by normal road “bumps” the violent shaking begins and we cannot regain control until we come to a stop. This las time, We’re on the highway surrounded by passenger vehicles and professional trucks when it began and we needed to stop to make the shaking stop and could not get over. This is going to cause major accidents for anyone around us. This is a 2019 vehicle and we service it regularly, last time being 8/26/21. These three incidences occurred on 9/8/21, 10/7/21 & 10/13/21 This needs to be recalled! It’s very dangerous, we lose control and feels like the truck is going to split in two and drop.

Traveling down interstate and crossed a bridge that was bumpy and my front end was like my tires were bouncing like a basketball. I thought the front end was coming out from under it and slammed on brakes and started pulling to side of road. After inspecting tires and lugs, I saw nothing wrong and decided to try driving again. As speed increased, there was no problem and eventually got back to speed with no bouncing. Happened again later and I carried truck to Ford dealership. They replaced the steering wheel linkage damper at no charge. The problem was better but not fixed. I carried truck back and they replaced the front suspension tie and charged me $534.37 saying it was not their problem. I disagree.

Severe and violent steering wheel oscillation after hitting bumps at highway speeds without warning. Multiple incidents beginning at 20,000 miles, steadily worsening with time. Requires emergency out of control stopping on interstate in order to regain control of vehicle--putting passengers and other vehicle operators in severe danger. Ford replaced steering stabilizer but problem continues without improvement. Dealer confirms issue.

While driving the speed limit of 60 mph. I drove over a bump in the road. The steering wheel stared shaking back and forth violently. The truck was barely controllable and could have ended in a deadly crash. The truck shook until I slowed to 15 mph. After getting home and researching the problem I found this is known as the death wobble. I see why it is called that. This problem is going to take people’s lives.

I was driving my 2019 Ford F350 65-70 mph on the interstate when I hit a rough patch. The steering wheel began to shake violently. I started slowing and merging into the emergency lane. The steering wheel did not quit shaking until I slowed down to about 10 mph. The truck felt nearly out of control during the event. An internet search revealed this condition to be know as a "death wobble". Within a few days, I took the a dealer to be inspected. The dealer replaced the steering stabilizer. My truck had app 30k miles on it at the time. It had the factory equipped Goodyear Wrangler tires. The truck has no modifications to the factory suspension or steering components.

Driving highway speed and tire hit lane divider reflector and truck was violently shaking and had to pull over and stop on the side of the road immediately.

Driving at highway speed hit a bump on the freeway and truck started to shake violently and we had to immediately slow down and pull over on the side of the freeway.

While driving back from a dinner with family in Coeur d'Alene Idaho I was in I-90 heading west in my 2019 F-350 there was some construction and some bumps in the road I was going approximately 65 miles an hour and hit some of these bumps. My front end just started shaking extremely and I had to pull over to the edge of the Freeway and slow down I had no choice but to put my foot on the brake to help slow down. I almost thought I was going to bounce right off the edge of the road.

While driving on the interstate at approximately 60 mph, I hit a bump on a curved portion of the roadway, which resulted in severe wobbling of the steering wheel and leaving me unable to control the vehicle until I came almost to a stop. This occurred twice at the same location over the period of a week and once more and a different location after that.

Truck will shake violently after hitting an expansion joint at highway speeds

My 2019 F350 that only has 10,000 miles develops violent "shaking" episodes while driving down the road. I've had it for 1.5 years and it has happened at least a dozen times. I'm taking it in for it's second service and I'm going to ask the dealership to look into it. When I googled this it appears this is an ongoing issue with these trucks and the Ford Motor Company is not really fixing the issue. It is extremely dangerous and you have to pull off to the side of the road in order to get the truck to stop shaking.

front end wobbles terribly at times hitting bumps and on certain road surfaces.

Had the infamous "death wobble" happen to me over the weekend. Luckily, I was by myself and I was familiar with the issue. The steering wheel was shaking violently and it felt like the front wheels were hopping. I slowed down but the issue persisted, I then pulled to the side of the road, came to a stop and the shaking stopped. I've called the dealer this morning and scheduled an appointment for them to look at it. Its a 2019 F350 with 27k miles. This is the first incident, like this, that I've had.

While towing my 5th wheel travel trailer east bound on I-40 from Albuquerque, NM on 8/23/21, the truck and trailer started shaking violently after hitting some small wash board bumps. Only by quickly slowing down from 65 mph to under 40 mph was the situation corrected. After the shaking stopped I sped back up to 65 mph and everything seemed to be normal. A few more miles down I-40 the shaking returned, again after hitting a short section of wash board. This time was more violent than the first, so I pulled over and did a walk around looking for any obvious defects on the tires, wheels and observable suspension components. I did not find any problems, so I continued with my trip to Lubbock, TX. the phenomenon did not occur again. I have not had the truck inspected by a mechanic yet. I have researched this problem and found out that it seems to be a fairly common occurrence on Ford Super Duty trucks with four wheel drive. Why hasn't there been a recall issued for this problem?

Travelling at speed (+/-65mph) on I-25in Colorado, I hit a pothole. Immediately, my steering wheel started shaking uncontrollably. This truck was purchased new in 2019, and currently has less than 6,000 miles on it.

Front end suspension and steering wheel shake violently when hitting a bump in the road at around 65 mph. Lost complete control of truck until I hit brakes hard to slow down and shimmying stopped. Very serious and dangerous situation. This has happened two times, once at about 30,000 miles and again at 45000 miles.

The Vehicle when encountering a road obstruction starts to shake and shimmy, pulling the steering wheel too and fro. this causes the driver to instantly put on the brakes. The situation is all over the internet. Ford knows about this issue and still sell them to unaware customers.

Hit bump had steering death wobble. Would not stop violently shaking until I slowed way down.

The 2019 Ford F-350 goes into a violent shaking when going over a small or large bump on a highway or interstate. My truck has 40,000 miles on it and I have experienced the violent shaking of the truck several times now. Each time the truck begins shaking, it has to be stopped to relieve the shaking. Yesterday it occurred 3 times in a row on I-80 and we were shaking so bad that the truck veered off into the median nearly causing an accident. An accident nearly occurred earlier as the shaking began as we were passing a tractor trailer on the interstate. I have 3 drivers in my household and I cannot allow my wife or daughter to operate the truck due to the fear of shaking.

Truck hit bump in road and began shaking violently to the point of almost losing control at 45mph. Very hard to hold onto steering wheel to bring truck to a stop.

Severe wobble from 67 miles per hour and up. Not consist comes and goes ever few minutes. Tremendous vibrations while driving.

At speeds over 65, developes a shimmy or wobble. Violently wobbles when it goes over bridge connection etc while on interstates. Had it checked by my mechanic, alignment good, balance is good. Gave me a heads up to the ford f-350 death wobble. not yet a recall, but everyone including the local ford dealership is aware of this

Multiple instances of the Death Wobble / Sustained Steering Wheel Oscillations while travelling in the Memphis, TN area. Have contacted the local Ford Service department and they plan to replace the Steering Link Damper. Suspect that this is only a short term band aide. Wife has history of Costochondritis, truck shook so violently it reinjured her during the last DW/SSWO event. Vehicle has less than 28,000 miles on it.

Experienced several death wobbles hauling oilfield equipment down to Texas, luckily there was no traffic at the time as the truck bucked all over the road, happened two more times on trip on rough roadways had to slow to59 to avoid. Very lucky no accident.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY (M-I-75) AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR I HIT A BUMP AND MY TRUCK SHOOK FIERCELY AND UNCONTROLLABLY FORCING ME TO DRIVE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. UPON STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN THIS INCIDENT WAS REPEATED LEAVING ME TO ROLL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY UNTIL I COULD REACH AN EXIT TO GET OFF INTO A SAFE AREA. WHEN I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS INCIDENT IS ALREADY KNOW AND NAMED, "THE DEATH WOBBLE!"

MY VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY EXPERIENCES WHAT IS KNOW AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AFTER HITTING VARIOUS ROAD CONDITIONS; ROUGH PAVEMENT PATCH, HOLES, IRREGULAR ROAD HEIGHTS ON FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. OCCURS AS LOW AS 40MPH IN THE CITY AND 65+ ON FREEWAYS. FORD DEALER INSTALLED A 'NEW IMPROVED STEERING STABILIZER' BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED IN LESS THEN A MONTH. I REPLACED THEIR STEERING STABILIZER WITH AN AFTERMARKET BRAND (MOOG). IT HAS HELPED PREVENT THE SERIOUS WOBBLE BUT WHEN TRAVELING OVER THE ROAD SURFACES IDENTIFIED ABOVE, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH SLIGHTLY (CONTROLLABLE) THEN STOPS AFTER RETURNING TO SMOOTH ROAD. STILL, MY HEART RACES, ANTICIPATING THE DEATH WOBBLE EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED AT ABOUT 15000 MILES AND NOW THERE IS 35000 MILES ON IT. I WILL NOT LET ANYBODY ELSE DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS DANGER. IF I COULD, I WOULD TRADE IT IN ON A DIFFERENT BRAND.

DEATH WOBBLE. I'M CONFIDENT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE TERM AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM FORD OWNERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND THAT IS NOT AN EMBELLISHMENT. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M TRIED AND TRUE FORD, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL NOT LET ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF DO SO. PLEASE TAKE THIS FOR ACTION, THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT ISSUE. FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT HAS FAILED TO DELIVER A SOLUTION. IT'S REALLY DISAPPOINTING AS I HAVE HELD THAT COMPANY IN HIGH REGARD FOR YEARS.

AT 80 MPH A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD SENT MY TRUCK INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHICH VIOLENTLY SHOOK MY TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO SLOW MY TRUCK DOWN TO 35MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN THIS MUCH

TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN GOING OVER MINOR ROAD IMPERFECTION SUCH AS A BRIDGE SEAM OR SMALL RUT WHEN OVER ~45-50 MPH. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, WHOLE TRUCK FEELS LIKE IT IS HOPPING OR SHIMMYING. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I GET TO UNDER 40 MPH (WHICH IS ADDED DANGER ON A FREEWAY). THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY, AND IS GETTING WORSE.

Mileage: 32,000

VEHICLE GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR DIP ON THE ROAD. MOST OFTEN OCCURS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MPH. THE SHAKING WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE VEHICLE'S SPEED IS REDUCED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. AT LEAST 50% OF THE VEHICLE'S CONTROLLABILITY IS LOST DURING THIS EVENT. THIS IS A CONTINUES PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WHEN THE ABOVE DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE MET.

Mileage: 41,890

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE 5 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK, THE FRONT WHEELS OF MY 2019 F350 HAVE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AFTER CROSSING MINOR BUMPS AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SHUDDERING WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH TO POSE A SERIOUS THREAT OF AN ACCIDENT. IMMEDIATE, RAPID DECELERATION WAS THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL. MY INSTINCT (JUST MY OBSERVATION) IS THAT THE BUMPS CAUSED A SHUDDER IN THE FRONT WHEELS AND IF THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS ENGAGED THAT THE SYSTEM ENGAGING MADE THE SHUDDERING WORSE. THE LAST TIME AND THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY 2/27/21 MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN WERE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. DE-ACCELERATION, DANGEROUS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ON ITS OWN, DID NOT STOP THE SHUDDERING THIS TIME, BUT DISENGAGING THE TRACTION CONTROL SEEMED TO STOP IT IMMEDIATELY. I OFTEN TOW A 30' FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER ON FAMILY TRIPS AND FORTUNATELY THE SHUDDERING HAS NOT YET HAPPENED WHILE TOWING THE CAMPER, BUT I FEAR WHAT COULD HAPPEN UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS IN FORD FORUMS AND HAVE COME TO KNOW THIS DEFECT IS COMMON WITH FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS AND IS KNOW AS THE F250/350 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IS A VERY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION. I ALSO SAW THAT TAKING THESE TRUCKS IN FOR SERVICE HAS NOT HELPED OTHER OWNERS AND THAT FORD HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON, DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS OF THE SUPER DUTY LINE OF TRUCKS. I URGE THE NHTSA TO PRESSURE FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY.

Mileage: 29,000

MY VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 22000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED TO DEVELOP WHAT IS BEING CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES TERRIBLY WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER ANY BUMPS ON THE ROAD. IT CAN SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AT APPROX. 27600 MILES I TOOK IT TO POWER FORD IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM FOR REPAIR. THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING DAMPENER HAD FAILED. THERE IS LOTS OF INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB. THIS DESIGN ISSUE EXISTS IN ALL 2006 TO 2019 FORD F-250S AND F-350S. THIS ISSUE MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND DECREASES THE MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURE OF STEERING COMPONENTS CAUSING OWNERS TO INCUR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING FAILED COMPONENTS AT UNREASONABLY SHORT INTERVALS OR INSTALLING AFTER-MARKET SOLUTIONS. WHILE FORD MAY SEE IT AS CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, THE SHORT COMPONENT LIFESPAN AND VEHICLE CONTROL ISSUE INDICATES A SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT WHICH THE NHTSA SHOULD ADDRESS.

WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES FROM USED VEHICLE PURCHASE (2-5-2021 WITH 33,400 MILES AT SALE), VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THREE (3) SEPARATE SEVERE AND SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATIONS (AKA DEATH WOBBLE) AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OF 65-70MPH. INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AFTER CROSSING OVER BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS AND/OR ROUGH PAVEMENT. DRIVER HAD DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING LANE OF TRAVEL AT THAT SPEED AND HAD TO MAKE EMERGENCY BRAKING IN ORDER TO EXIT ONTO SHOULDER. ONCE AT SPEEDS AROUND 5MPH, OSCILLATION CEASED. VEHICLE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT SPEEDS 45-70MPH, AND I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THE OSCILLATION OCCURS. MY UNDERSTANDING OF VEHICLE SUSPENSION DYNAMICS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A COMBINATION OF POSSIBLE FAULTY STEERING DAMPENER, FAILURE OF JOINTS, IMPROPER FACTORY ALIGNMENT SPECS, ALL COMBINED TO CREATE A RESONANCE IN THE SOLID AXLE. THIS ISN'T A "BAND-AID" FIX AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACING/UPGRADING SEVERAL COMPONENTS WHICH HAVE BECOME STRESSED DURING OSCILLATION. ALSO, CONSIDER ADJUSTMENT OF FACTORY SPECS ON CASTER. I AM AWARE OF FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 20N04 (TSB), BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE A FULL RECALL ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS MATTER.

I WAS DRIVING MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2019 FOR F350 SUPER DUTY WHICH HAS 22,000 MILES, WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH AND GOING STRAIGHT WITH NOT THE SLIGHTEST OF TURN AND WITHIN THE FLOW OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHEN MY FRONT TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY AS I CAME OVER THE SMALL BUMP. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE HEAVY TRUCK AND WAS FORCED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM SWERVING INTO THE MEDIAN OR INTO ANOTHER CAR BESIDE ME. THE CONCRETE TRUCK BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES AS WELL TO PREVENT FROM HITTING ME. I HAVE DRIVEN HEAVY TRUCKS FOR 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER FELT SO OUT OF CONTROL. HAD MY SON OR DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK THERE IS NO DOUBT THEY WOULD HAVE WRECKED AND MOST DEFINITELY HURT THE DRIVER IN THE KIA NEXT TO ME. I HAVE OWNED 5 FORD TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS DEATH WOBBLE OCCUR IN THOSE TRUCKS. WHEN I GOT TO MY OFFICE I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD F250 AND 350'S BETWEEN 2009 AND 2019. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY FORD FACTORY WARRANTY BUT THAT THEY GET 3-4 CALLS PER WEEK ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOT MODIFIED ANYTHING ON THE VEHICLE AND IT REMAINS A STOCK VEHICLE. FORD SHOULD NOT ALLOW THESE TRUCKS TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD. THEY ARE A DEATH TRAP AND WILL CAUSE FATALITIES IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE STEERING STABILIZER AND TRACK BAR. I WILL BE SELLING THIS VEHICLE AS THE REPAIR IS OVER $2,500. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. AS THE ENFORCER OF SAFETY ON THE ROADS IT IS YOUR DUTY TO MAKE FORD RECALL ALL 250 AND 350'S THAT HAVE THESE INADEQUATE STEERING STABILIZERS AND TRACK BARS. PEOPLE WILL BE HURT AND KILLED. THE BLOOD WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS OF THE NTSA AND FORD IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE.

ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR, I HIT A ROUGH PATCH ON THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT I THOUGHT THE FRONT WHEELS WOULD TEAR OFF AND I WOULD BE INVOLVED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I FEEL VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND BE INVOLVED IN A MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AND OTHERS. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER. THIS WAS/IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING EAST ON HWY 18 IN WASHINGTON STATE, WE WENT OVER A BRIDGE JOINT IN THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE OTHERS VEHICLES TRIED TO SWERVE AROUND TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE SHAKING DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. WERE WE WHERE AT THERE IS NOT A SHOULDER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THANK GOD THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING US OR ANYTHING ELSE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL. THIS TRUCK IS ALMOST BRAND NEW WITH LESS THAN 13000 MILES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY OTHER DAMAGE. I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY OR MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER SO THIS 70000 TRUCK WILL NOW SIT UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

ON FRIDAY JAN 8TH AT APPROXIMATELY 10:20 IN THE AM I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND AT 65 MPH (SPEED LIMIT) ON THE I-215 IN LAS VEGAS ON THE "CURVE" BETWEEN WIGWAM AND EASTERN PARKWAY. NEARING THE EASTERN EXIT I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT OF THE CONCRETE CEMENT AND INSTANTLY THE FRONT END STEERING STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. THE WHEELS AS APPEARED TO ME TO WANT TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE OFF. I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED "BUMP STEER" OR "DEATH WOBBLE" UNTIL NOW. I REMEMBER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN FRANTICALLY TRYING TO SEE WHO IS ON THE SIDES OF ME. IT WASN'T GETTING BETTER. SO WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN ONLY A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER I STARTED BREAKING WHILE TRYING TO HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I SLOWLY APPLIED BREAKS AS THE F350 FRONT END SEEMED TO BE A BUCKING RODEO HORSE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT TOOK 20 SECONDS TO BRING THE SPEED DOWN DOWN TO 42-25 MPH WHEN THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE SUSPENSION, WHEELS, AND STEERING WHEEL ENDED. UPON CONTROL I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW THAT NOBODY WAS AROUND ME AND A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER WAS WAY BEHIND ME. I WAS LUCKY AS TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE I WAS ABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE. I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MULT-CAR WRECK IF IT WAS DURING NORMAL LAS VEGAS TRAFFIC. I DROVE HOME AT 55 MPH WONDERING WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED. I HAD NO LONGER CONFIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE FOR MYSELF OR OTHERS. FOR THE RECORD ON 9 DECEMBER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD COUNTRY FOR FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (20N04). THIS IS FOR A "REDESIGNED STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER"; IT WAS OUT OF STOCK AND I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK WITHOUT REPAIR ON 10 DECEMBER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE OF THE NOTICE AND THAT I EXPERIENCED A THREE SECOND STEERING CONTROL EVENT WHEN I DID HIT A POT-HOLE IN SEPTEMBER. I DID NOT REPORT IT AS IT WAS JUST HEAVY VIBRATION. UPGRADE TO RECALL.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I WOULD GET MINOR SHAKING IN THE STEERING AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGH SPEED . THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE BAD FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD STOP. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEN IT GOT WORSE, THE SHAKING BECAME MORE VIOLENT AND MORE FREQUENT. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I AM REALLY AFRAID OF IT. THE OTHER DAY I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, IN CONSTRUCTION WITH BARRIER RAILS AND NO SHOULDER AND IT STARTED. I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. I GOT DOWN TO AROUND 20 MPH AND IT WAS STILL SHAKING AND I COULD NOT PULL OVER. FINALLY, SPEEDING UP GOT IT TO STOP. I BEGAN TO EXTENSIVELY RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT IT IS QUITE COMMON AND NO SPECIFIC REPAIR TO STOP IT. I AM GOING TO A TIRE SHOP TODAY AND DEMAND THAT SEVERAL REPAIRS ARE MADE IN HOPES THAT ONE OF THEM FIXES THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT REPLACING THE TRACK BAR, STEERING STABILIZER, FRONT BRAKES, TIRES, AND HAVING IT ALIGNED WITH A GREATER CASTER CAN FIX IT.

AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE FREEWAY (I215 IN UTAH) AT 75MPH THE FRONT END/STEERING STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO BRAKE/SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 45MPH TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN THE LANE AND AVOID OTHER TRAFFIC AROUND THE TRUCK. TRUCK IS COMPLETELY STOCK- NO MODIFICATIONS WITH APPROX 31K MILES. ALL MILES ARE HIGHWAYS MILES. AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD TO HAVE THE STEERING DAMPENER/SUSPENSION CHECKED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO RECTIFY.

MY 2019 FORD F350 HAS REPEATEDLY ENTERED A "DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 20 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 38K MILES. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, I DISCOVERED THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A FIELD SERVICE ADVISORY (20N04) TO REPLACE THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPENER, HOWEVER, RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX. I WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT THIS SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED FOR FUTURE RECALL EFFORTS.

MY 2019 F350 HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHICH IS UNCONTROLLABLE. DURNING THE PAST 2 WEEKS HAS MADE US ALMOST CRASH. FIT LEAVES THE TRUCK UNCONTROLLABLE WHICH ALMOST HIT TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS AND CAUSED A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED WITH A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. WE WERE IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN IT STARTED WE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT ANY NOTICE WITH THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL.WE BRIGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH STATED THERE'S A RECALL BLAMED THE TIRES AND ALIGNMENT. THE RECALL IS BACK ORDERED AND NOT AVAILABLE. THEY REFUNDED US A SUITABLE RENTAL CAR.

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, I SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING AN ORDINARY BUMP IN THE FREEWAY. THE SHAKOING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING CEASED AS THE TRUCK SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I INITIALLY SUSPECTED A WHEEL OR TIRE PROBLEM, BUT UPON INSPECTION I COULD NOT FIND ANY TIRE ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 20K MILES, AND HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DEALER MAINTAINED SINCE PURCHASE.

EXPERIENCED DEATH WABBLE ON A 2019 FORD F350 AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT 40 MPH ON A PAVED MAJOR CITY STREET. ABLE TO STOP THE WABBLE AFTER SLOWING TO 25 MPH. TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. DRIVE-TRAIN AND SUSPENSION ARE STOCK AND TRUCK PURCHASED FROM A NEW VEHICLE DEALERSHIP LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS I WOULD EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE WITH WORN SUSPENSION PARTS ON A JEEP CHEROKEE OR WRANGLER, NOT A NEW TRUCK. GIVEN THE NEWNESS OF THE VEHICLE AND LOW MILEAGE, IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO BE WORN PARTS, WHICH MEANS IT IS POSSIBLE THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT WHERE THE FRAME AT THE STEERING BOX OR A SUSPENSION INTERFACE FLEXES CREATING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS WORN COMPONENTS

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 F350 WITH JUST OVER 18000 MILES TO A FAMILY RESIDENCE VIA 130TH AVENUE A TWO LANE ROAD IN IOWA, TRAVELING 55MPH. I WENT OVER A BRIDGE AND HAD VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT END (DEATH WOBBLE). I HAD TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 30MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THEN AGAIN -SAME DAY- TRAVELING ON I-80 AT 70MPH, I WENT OVER ANOTHER BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK DID THE EXACT SAME THING. THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHOOK AT THE FRONT END (DEATH WOBBLE). I HAD TO AGAIN QUICKLY SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 30MPH ON A INTERSTATE FOR IT TO STOP. BOTH TIME I HAD A PREGNANT WIFE AND SON IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT. I WAS ALSO LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HAVE ONE OF MY TRAILERS WITH LIVESTOCK ATTACHED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE TRUCK RIGHT NOW, I HAPPY THAT I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. SHE WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK ANYMORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WENT OVER BUMPS IN THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CEASED AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDNENT MECHANIC AND THE WHEELS WERE ROTATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERRILL FORD OKEMOS (1830 W GRAND RIVER AVE, OKEMOS, MI 48864, (517) 347-1830) WHERE THE TIRES WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME INDEPENDNENT MECHANIC WHO TESTED BUT HAD NOT INSTALLED A SUSPENSION DAMPENER WHICH WAS USED TO CUSHION THE VEHICLE FROM THE BUMPS ON THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

OUR VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE FORD "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING AND DANGEROUS WHILE TOWING A 20K POUND FIFTH WHEEL. AT ONE POINT THE WOBBLE WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT DAMAGED OUR FIFTH WHEEL, THE BED OF THE TRUCK, AND WE COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN WE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. FORD HAS A BAD REPUTATION FOR THIS ISSUE, LONG STANDING, AND I REQUEST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD INVESTIGATE WHY THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE VEHICLES WITHOUT CORRECTING THE ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD OURS FIXED BUT THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH AND IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT FORD CONTINUES TO SELL A PRODUCT WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE. THE DATE BELOW IS ONE OF MANY DATES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE SEAM IN THE ROADWAY. THE SEAM WAS AT AN ANGLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK BADLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND RATTLED SO MUCH I HAD DIFFICULTY HOLDING ON TO IT. AS A RESULT, THE TRUCK VEERED OUT OF MY LANE AND IN TO THE OTHER LANE (THANK GOODNESS THERE WASN'T ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE) BEFORE I COULD GRAB THE WHEEL AGAIN AND SLOW THE TRUCK. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. SURPRISED I WASN'T REAR-ENDED IN THAT PROCESS... THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES - ALL WHILE AT OR OVER ABOUT 50 MPH, AND AFTER DRIVING OVER SOME UNEVEN PAVEMENT/PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS (VERY MILD UNEVENNESS SUCH AS A BRIDGE SEAM AND SMALL ROADWAY PATCH; DOESN'T MATTER IF I HIT IT AT AN ANGLE OR NOT). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 5/25/2020 WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. IT DIDN'T LAST LONG AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE... BUT NOW IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. THE TRUCK SHAKES EVEN WORSE/ SHAKING LASTS WAY LONGER WHEN THE UNEVEN SURFACE IS MORE PRONOUNCED SUCH AS A POTHOLE, THE UNEVEN SURFACE IS AN ANGLE, OR THE PATH DRIVEN IS ON A CURVE. I ONCE HAD A JEEP WRANGLER (EARLY 2000'S) THAT DID THIS. IT WAS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS FEELS THE SIMILAR EXCEPT THE SHAKING IS MORE VIOLENT.

HITTING A BUMP OR BRIDGE JUNCTURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (>65) CAUSES A VIOLENT RESONANCE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS SIDE TO SIDE RAPIDLY. THE SHAKING GETS WORSE UNLESS YOU QUICKLY SLOW DOWN TO <35 MPH. TIRE PRESSURES WERE AT THE FORD RECOMMENDED PSI AND THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN PAYLOAD AND TOWING LIMITS. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ABOUT 26,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. FORD "FIXED' THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED AGAIN AT 33,000 MILES. FORD ISSUED A NEW FIX WHICH HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE WHICH NOW HAS 41,000 MILES. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE DRAG LINKS AND PUT A VERY STIFF STEERING DAMPER ON WHICH GREATLY INCREASED THE STEERING EFFORT. THE UNDERLYING ISSUE OF POOR FRONT SUSPENSION DESIGN IS STILL THERE AND WE CAN FEEL THE ISSUE IS COMING BACK AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ONE OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED, A TANKER TRUCK WAS FOLLOWING ME AND HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE OTHER LANE ON I-65 NEAR CULLMAN, AL TO AVOID ME WHEN I HAD TO SLOW QUICKLY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS VERY VIOLENT AND YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. IF YOU DO NOT SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY, IT GETS WORSE.

I OWN A 2019 FORD F350 WITH ABOUT 13,500 MILES ON IT. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT SEEMS TO BE NAMED THE FORD "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN DRIVING OCCASIONALLY THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO DEATH GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 10-15 TIMES IN ABOUT 4 MONTHS. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO PUT IN WRITING AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE EXACT ISSUE I AM BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR. THEY CALL IT "RECALLS" HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO MOVE SIDE TO SIDE MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS OF 30 MILES PER HOUR ON CITY ROADS AND 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. SLOWING DOWN OR REMOVING YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR ONLY MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE AS WE SLOW DOWN. I HAVE A VIDEO RECORDED OF ONE OF THE TIMES THIS OCCURRED WHICH WE WERE GOING ABOUT 63 MILES PER HOUR, WE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 42 MILES PER HOUR RAPIDLY IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP CONTROL. DOING THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND US TO HIT US AND THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF US NEEDED TO STEER OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, THE FRONT TIRES ON THE VEHICLE LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN CHOPPED UP DUE TO THE BOUNCING THAT OCCURS DURING THE WOBBLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF FORD DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A VIDEO THAT I WILL GLADLY SHARE, THIS ONLY LETS ME UPLOAD PICTURES

THE CLUNKING HAPPENS MORE WHEN WE ARE TOWING OUR RV WHICH IS 16K LB. WHEN THE RV IS UNATTACHED THE CLUNKING CAN BE HEARD AND FELT LESS. MOST OF THE ROADS ARE SMOOTH WHEN THE CLUNKING STARTS. A 2019 F450 OWNER TOLD US THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUES AT 7000 MILES AFTER PUTTING IT INTO 4L. THEY INFORMED US THE TOOK IT INTO FORD AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT DURING THE ASSEMBLY OF THE TRUCK, A PART WAS BROKEN OFF. FORD FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS A FACTORY CAUSED ISSUES.

I COULD NOT CONTROL IT I THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS SHUTTING DOWN OR SOMETHING BUT IT WAS NOT. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER, IT WAS SCARY. I LOOKED AROUND MY TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A TIRE ISSUE BUT FOUND NOTHING. I HAD IT HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE ON THE SAME TRIP. I HAD SERVICE DONE RECENTLY BUT THERE WAS NO MENTION ABOUT THE RECALL AND JUST SAW THERE IS ONE. I HAVE THE FORDPASS APP AND IT SHOWED UP BUT I WANTED TO BE ON THE RECORD THAT EVEN NOW THE 2019S STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OF UNCONTROLLED WOBBLE. I DID NOT KNOW OF THIS BEFORE I PURCHASED BUT HAVE NOW LEARNED IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS AND IT STILL EXISTS. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME AND IT COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY BUT THERE WAS NOT TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD THANK GOD!

MY 2019 F350 TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE MULTIPLE TIMES ON RECENT TRIP. WHILE TOWING OUR CAMPER WE HIT A SEEM IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO START VIOLENTLY SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I THOUGHT WE BROKE AND AXLE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK AND PULL OVER. I COULD NOT FIND ANY DAMAGE AND SO WE CONTINUED. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 18500 MILES ON IT. THIS DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN FOR ABOUT 1500 MILES WHERE IT HAPPENED WHEN WE HIT A SMALL POT HOLE WITH OUR FRONT LEFT TIRE. AGAIN, VIOLENT UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN SPEED IS BELOW 30 MPH. I SLOWED TO PULL OVER BUT IT STOPPED WHEN MY SPEED GOT LOW ENOUGH. WE CONTINUED CAUTIOUSLY NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED. I DID SOME RESEARCH BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AT THE TIME. WE WERE ON AN 8 WEEK TRIP AND HAD STARTED OUR RETURN DIRECTION SO WE CONTINUED. ABOUT 1300 MILES LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, STOPPED WHEN OUR SPEED DROPPED. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NOW UNDERSTOOD THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING. I HAD TO DECIDE HOW TO PROCEED AS WE HAD OUR FAMILY AND CAMPER 1400 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AT THIS POINT. I DROVE VERY CAUTIOUSLY, AND DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES, ONCE WITHOUT THE CAMPER. ON OUR LAST LEG FROM TN TO NC THE ROADS WERE ESPECIALLY BAD AND WE HAD 5 MORE INCIDENTS. I DROVE 45 MPH WITH MY HAZARDS ON MUCH OF THE WAY TO GET THE TRUCK HOME. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I WOULD SAY IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE. ANY SEAM IN THE ROAD OR POT HOLE THAT IMPACT THE FRONT TIRES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH WILL NOW CAUSE THIS TRUCK TO GO INTO VIOLENT UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN SPEEDS ARE REDUCED TO BELOW 30 MPH. VERY BAD SITUATION TO BE IN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE SUCH A KNOW ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME LATE ONE NIGHT FROM WORK, RUNNING ABOUT 55-60 AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND GOT WORSE AS I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES. IT CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO A FARM FIELD(LUCKILY NO DAMAGE)! SO I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND CHECKED EVERYTHING, I THOUGHT A WHEEL WAS FALLING OFF OR SOMETHING BUT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, SO I SLOWLY DROVE HOME AND WOULD START TO FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE WHEN I WOULD APPLY BRAKES BUT NOTHING LIKE BEFORE.

WHILE PULLING A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH MY COMPACT TRACTOR ON IT DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD AT APRX. 50 MPH HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND I EXPERIENCED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE WHAT'S KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE RAPIDLY BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY RAISED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ONCE IT COASTED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH THE VIBRATION STOPPED. A COUPLE HOURS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 70 MPH, SAME TRAILER SETUP AS BEFORE. RAISED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND ONCE THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT AND THEY HAVE BEEN ROTATED. I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURES A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND THEY WERE AT/NEAR THE FACTORY RECOMMEND PRESSURES. TRUCK HAS AROUND 38K MILES ON IT.

EVERY 10K MILES, THE TRUCK DEVELOPS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN WHICH THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO QUICKLY BRAKE AND HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS YOU. DEALERS ARE SYMPATHETIC, BUT SAY THAT FORD CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE THE FRONT STABILIZER AND KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM WILL RETURN. THE CURRENT STABILIZER (THIRD) HAS JUST STARTED TO FAIL AT 31K MILES. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS WHILE TOWING (OR EVER) AND IT MAKES US SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. *TR

UNCONTROLLABLE AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK. AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL SHACK SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOME TIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND OR ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK IS A COMPLETE SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME, MY PASSENGERS, BUT ALSO THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. IT APPEARS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH FORD SUPER DUTY'S. IT IS CALL "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR RIGHTFUL REASONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HAVE FORD MAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN WHOLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN INTERSTATE 95 IN THE CENTER LANE AT ABOUT 75 MILES AN HOUR WITH ABOUT 2000 POUNDS OF TILE IN THE BACK. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HIT A BUMPY PATCH IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED VIBRATING LIKE A TUNING FORK. IT WAS VIBRATING SO FAST AND SO BAD THAT WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY (IN THREE LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC) IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. IT CONTINUED UNTIL WE COULD GET OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR A GOOD TEN OR FIFTEEN SECONDS MAYBE EVEN LONGER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TWO PALLETS OF TILE IN THE BACK END AND WAS WORRIED IT WAS GOING TO VIBRATE THEM ONTO THE ROAD. AFTER THE TRUCK STOPPED THE VIBRATING STOPPED OF COURSE. I WALKED AROUND LOOKING FOR A FLAT TIRE OR OTHER ISSUE BUT NOTHING. THEN WE GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WAS NO LONGER THERE. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM IN MUCH LESS SEVERE CASES MANY TIMES WHERE A VIBRATION HAPPENED AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT KELLY FORD AND THEY SAID UNLESS WE COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TONIGHT I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH FORD FOR A WHILE AND THERE'S EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INVOLVING THE ISSUE.

NEAR BRAND NEW 2019 FORD F350 DUALLY TRUCK - EXPERIENCED THE SO-CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". WAS AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 50MPH AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE. WHEN HITTING THE "BUMP" IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE PAVEMENT, THE TRUCK WENT INTO THE VIOLENT SHAKE/SHIMMY AND I COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL - BRAKING DID NOT HELP UNTIL I COULD MANAGE TO SLOW TO ABOUT 2 MPH. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND THE BRIDGE/ROADWAY WAS AT A SLIGHT LEFT TURN WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. THIS EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKING IS KNOWN ONLINE AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. MY TRUCK IS NEARLY NEW, HAS ONLY 3600 MILES ON IT AND IS 100% STOCK.

ON NOV 20,2019, WHILE TRAVELING FROM CORNVILLE, AZ TO LITTLETON, CO I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT WOBBLE WITH MY 2019 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL TRUCK. I WAS STARTING TO GO UP RATON PASS IN NEW MEXICO (JUST NORTH OF RATON, NM) AND EXPERIENCED THE VIBRATION GOING ROUGHLY 60-65MPH. ON OUR RETURN HOME ON 12/02/19 I EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN WHEN DRIVING ON I25 THROUGH COLORADO SPRINGS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SANDERSON FORD IN GLENDALE, AZ AND THEY CONVEYED TO ME THAT FORD HAS AUTHORIZED THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER AND THAT WAS DONE ON 01/17/19.

I EXPERIENCED THE FORD "DEATH WOBBLE". TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT 70MPH PULLING A LARGE 5TH WHEEL TRAILER I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW TO 40 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. I THOUGHT THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO COME APART. AS SOON AS I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY KEPT IT FOR A DAY AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SAID FORD WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION THAT WAS NOT YET READY. I ASKED THE DEALER TO ROTATE THE TIRES AND ALIGN THE FRONT END. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK ANOTHER DAY AND COMPLETED MY REQUEST. THE TRUCK IS A 2019 AND HAS JUST OVER 21,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP NOW I GRIP THE WHELL A LITTLE HARDER. I NOW UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED FOR THE ISSUE AND I WOULD FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE NHTSA HAS NOT STEPPED IN. I HOPE YOU HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH FORD AND WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I AM NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH WITH COMPUTERS TO UPLOAD A DOCUMENT. THE ONLY DOCUMENT I HAVE IS THE WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALER.

BY THE TIME I GOT SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SOP I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE (INCOMING TRAFFIC). LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT AS I WOULD OF BEEN HIT HEAD ON AND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN. THE ISSUES WITH THESE TRUCKS ARE DEATH TRAPS. THIS TRUCK IS BASICALLY A ONE TON WRECKING BALL THAT I CAN LOSE CONTROL OF AT ANY MINUTE. IT'S MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. MY WIFE WON'T GET IN IT AND WON'T ALLOW THE KIDS IN THE TRUCK. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. SINCE IT HAPPENED I RESEARCHED POSSIBLE CAUSES AND HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES. AT THIS POINT I'M AFRAID TO I'M EITHER GOING TO DIE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS VEHICLE. IF I COULD SIMPLY RETURN IT I WOULD TOMORROW.

DURING SPEEDS 50 MPH OR ABOVE THE FRONT OF TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY LOSING CONTROL OF STEER AND BREAKING. IT ONLY TAKES THE EDGE OF A CEMENT TRANSITION BETWEEN REGULAR ROAD AND BRIDGE OR SOME BASIC ROUGH SPOTS TO START THE VIOLENT SHAKING. DURING SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 AND 50 AFTER DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD FRONT WILL SHIMMY AND SMOOTHOUT. I HAVE HAD 3 NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THE EXTREME AND VIOLENT SHAKING. YESTERDAY WAS A NEAR MISS WITH A SEMI-TRUCK, AND DID NOT GAIN CONTROL UNTIL AFTER CROSSING OVER THREE LANES OF I-435 TRAFFIC OUTSIDE OF KANSAS CITY. I WENT BY FORD TODAY, AND THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS FOR SAME REASON. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH HIT ROUGH SPOT IN ROAD AND TRUCK STARTED 'DEATH WOBBLE'! HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO LESS THAN 20MPH TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED FIRST WITH THE TRUCK HAVING ONLY 2830 MILES ON IT. NEXT TIME ABOUT 100 MILES LATER HAPPENED AT 75MPH AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE PARTS AND WAS ALSO TOLD TO NOT EXPECT THE NEW PARTS TO FIX THE TRUCK. I WAS TOLD PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE TRUCK THAT THE ISSUES HAD BEEN FIXED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BUILT IN SEPTEMBER 2019. I DEPEND ON MY VEHICLES TO MAKE MY LIVING, CAN'T DO THAT WITH THEM IN THE SHOP WITH A UNKNOWN FIX. FORD NEEDS TO STOP BEING ALLOWED TO SELL THIS TRUCKS UNTIL THERE IS A PROVEN FIX!! HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED DO YOU THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN. DEALER ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED TO DO AFTER I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE 2-3 WEEK DELAY ON EVEN BEING ABLE TO WORK IN THE TRUCK. I SAID YOU KNEW THESE TRUCKS STILL HAD THE PROBLEM SO JUST REFUND MY MONEY AND I'LL GO DOWN THE ROAD. WAS LAUGHED AT AND SAID THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.

THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND I DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE SPEED TO GET SAFELY PAST THE SEMI, SO I SLOWED DOWN IN THE FAST LANE AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT BEHIND THE SEMI. ONCE STOPPED I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE. I RESUMED DRIVING WITHOUT ANY APPARENT ISSUE. ABOUT 45MI FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN AT 65MPH. THIS TIME THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEARBY ON THE HIGHWAY SO I SLOWED BELOW 30MPH AND THE VIBRATION STOPPED. I ACCELERATED BACK TO 65MPH WITHOUT THE VIBRATION ISSUE AND CONTINUED MY TRIP HOME. THE INTENSITY OF THESE VIBRATIONS IS VERY EXTREME AND THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THEY ARE HAPPENENING. THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID OR ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL HAPPEN, AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DO IN A FREEWAY ENVIRONMENT WHEN THE STEERING IS BARELY WORKING. MY VEHICLE IS USING ORIGINAL, UNMODIFIED STOCK TIRES, WHEELS, AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND IS OVF RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (15,000MI).

THE TRUCK HAS STARTED GETTING THE DEATH WOBBLE AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES. TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED STEERING DAMPNER WITH AN AFTER MARKET ONE PER FORD. GOT TRUCK BACK AND STILL HAS DEATH WOBBLE. TAKING BACK TO FORD THIS WEEK WITH 21,000 MIKES ON TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT DOES THE DEATH WOBBLE ANYTIME YOU HIT A BUMP AT 50 PLUS MPH

GOING STRAIGHT AT 55 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING ,WOBBLING AND LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS I RAN OFF OF THE ROAD INTO THE MUD ON A COUNTY BLACKTOP ROAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

MY WIFE AND I WERE HEADED TO COSTCO AND WERE DRIVING THROUGH WEST CHESTER OHIO. WE WENT OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS ON PRINCETON GLENDALE RD. JUST BEFORE PORT UNION RD. ONCE WE WENT OVER THE TRACKS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO JUMP AND SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT WAS VERY SCARY. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE TRUCK WOBBLED SIDE TO SIDE FOR A GOOD DISTANCE AFTER WE WENT OVER THE TRACKS. THE WOBBLING WAS FELT EXTREMELY STRONG IN THE FRONT END AND CARRIED THROUGH THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. IT ONLY SUBSIDED AFTER SLOWING THE TRUCK DOWN BY LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LETTING IT COAST TO ABOUT 25 MPH. THANK GOODNESS WE WEREN'T ON THE HIGHWAY OR WORSE YET, THAT WE WEREN'T TOWING ANYTHING. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO TOW A LARGE FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE TOWING THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WE WOULD PROBABLY LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE JUST UNDER 4,000 MILES ON MY NEW TRUCK AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS MINIMAL. SO MINIMAL THAT WE WROTE IT OFF AFTER IT HAPPENED. BUT, IT TOO HAPPENED AFTER GOING OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS ON A RURAL ROAD JUST OUTSIDE OF SEVEN MILE OHIO. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND. SINCE THIS HAPPENED I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO LOOK TO THE INTERNET FOR MORE INFO. IT SEEMS THIS IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THE SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. THERE IS A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME THING. MY FEAR IS CONTACTING MY LOCAL SALES DEALERSHIP AND GETTING THE STANDARD JARGON. HAVING THE MECHANIC TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THEN CALL ME AFTER I DROP IT OFF TO THEM FOR THREE DAYS AND THEM TELL ME THAT NOTHING OCCURRED AND NOTHING APPEARS BROKEN. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE ALMOST 4,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH AND HIT A BUMP WHEN THE TRUCK BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. I COULD NOT TURN TO GET OFF THE HWY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 25MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED.

Mileage: 21,340

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH ON A CURVED 2 LANE HIGHWAY I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS CAUSED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE WILDLY AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING BY COMING TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A NARROW 2 LANE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY. AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ACTUALLY CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND WENT SEVERAL FEET INTO THE ONCOMING LANE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE CHANGING LANES. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WHILE I RETURNED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND REDUCED SPEED. THE SHAKING STOPPED WHEN THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 30 MPH. TWENTY MINUTES LATER WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AT 65 MPH AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING RETURNED. I REDUCED SPEED AND THE SHAKING STOPPED AT 30 MPH.

MY 2019 FORD F-350 HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,300 MILES ON IT. ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2019, I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH) WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 NEAR SAN ANTONIO, TX AROUND MILE MARKER 588 SHORTLY AFTER NOON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. I HIT A SMALL, BUT RELATIVELY DEEP POTHOLE IN MY LANE, WHICH CAUSED A JOLT TO THE VEHICLE. WHAT FOLLOWED NEXT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. I INITIALLY THOUGHT BOTH OF THE FRONT STEER TIRES HAD EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THE SHAKING WAS OCCURRING ON BOTH FRONT TIRES AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE AND MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AT SOME POINT DURING MY DECELERATION, PERHAPS AROUND 25 MPH, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I EXITED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD SEE NO DAMAGE TO EITHER TIRE, NOR ANY INDICATION OF DAMAGE TO THE TIE RODS, SHOCKS OR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING AND LATER CONDUCTED A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION, AGAIN FINDING NO APPARENT DAMAGE OR CAUSE FOR THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND WOBBLING I HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN. IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WITH VERY BAD CONSEQUENCES. I OCCASIONALLY PULL FIFTH WHEEL AND GOOSE NECK TRAILERS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHY I PURCHASED IT. IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING A LOAD, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE TERRIBLE.

MY NEW F350 WITH 6K MILES ON IT STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL ON SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND SO WAS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

ON 10/19/2019 WHILE MY 2019 F-350 WAS IN MOTION TOWING A 36-FT 5TH WHEEL ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH, I DROVE OVER A SERIES OF BUMPS IN MY LANE THAT CAUSED THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO APPROX. 30 MPH TO GET THE SHUDDERING TO STOP. I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE 5TH WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERED SO VIOLENTLY I COULD BARELY KEEP MY HANDS ON IT. ALL VEHICLE WEIGHTS WERE WELL WITHIN THE GVWR/GCWR OF BOTH THE TRAILER AND TRUCK. IRONICALLY ENOUGH I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WEIGHING THE TRUCK AND TRAILER AT A CAT SCALE WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. FOUR DAYS LATER I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER ASSEMBLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH TSB 19-2274.

1ST INCIDENT-DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AFTER HITTING A SMALL RISE GOING OVER AN OVERPASS. EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I WAS IN AN EXPRESS LANE (TOLLED) AND NO ONE WAS AROUND ME. 16FT TRAILER WAS HOOKED UP AND IT TOOK EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH I HAD TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN THE 2 LANES AND NOT THE WALL. THANKFUL NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND ME. 2ND INCIDENT- AGAIN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE NEXT DAY; A VERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED THE VIOLENT SHAKING. I WAS NOT TOWING, BUT I DID HAVE VEHICLES AROUND ME THIS TIME THAT THANKFULLY WERE PAYING ATTENTION AS I WAS IN AND OUT OF THE FAST AND MIDDLE LANE. THE EXPERIENCE IS INDESCRIBABLE AND FRIGHTENING.
