TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 50-60 MPH OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHOOK AND EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM SNEAD FORD (401 W MAIN ST, WAYNESBORO, VA 22980, (800) 650-9207), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.
AT ABOUT 45 MPH AFTER HITTING ROUGH PATCH ON A BRIDGE SURFACE I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY I HAD ZERO CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO IMMEDIATELY BRAKE TO ALMOST A STOP BEFORE BEING ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA OF EASTERN OR AND HAD NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. HAD THERE BEEN TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO A COLLISION OR ANOTHER VEHICLE HAVING TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION. THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL STARTED WHEN CROSSING A CONCRETE SURFACED BRIDGE THAT HAD A FAIRLY ROUGH SURFACE. THE ROAD PLANE WAS LIGHTLY SLOPED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2017 F250 SUPER DUTY DIESEL. THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2019, THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURRED WAS TWO DAYS LATER AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. THIS TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN SO THE LOSS OF CONTROL WAS LESS SIGNIFICANT. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE TRUCK, EVERYTHING IS STOCK. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP DOES ALL THE MAINTENANCE. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE, COLLISIONS OR ROUGH USE OF THIS TRUCK. THE MAJORITY OF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN AROUND TOWN, WITH ABOUT 20% BEING HIGHWAY USE.
I HAVE A SEVERE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. IT ISN'T A CONSTANT WOBBLE AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I NOTICE IT HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER IT DIDN'T HELP. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND RIGHT AND THAT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE. I HAD THEM BALANCED THAT SAME DAY, AGAIN IT DIDN'T HELP. THE PROBLEM FORCING ME TO BASICALLY PARK MY VEHICLE OR ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND TOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS THAT I KNOW I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE WOBBLE AT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE WHEN THIS WOBBLE HAPPENS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL I HAVE TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN AND PULLOVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE VERY SAME ISSUE. IT'S UNSAFE AND IT GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THESE PROBLEMS.
'DEATH WOBBLE' IT STARTED WHEN MY TRUCK WAS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AT 24,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T GRAB IT. THE TRUCK WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND IT QUITE SHAKING ONCE I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 25-30 MPH. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHICH SCARES ME. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE IT UNTIL YOU'VE EXPERIENCED IT. I'VE HAD MY TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY HAVE WORKED ON IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I'M NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN, AND I HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF FORD VEHICLES MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE IN JANUARY 2019 AT AROUND 37000 MILES , TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED WHAT FORD RECOMMENDED, STEERING DAMPER , ETC. THIS PAST FRIDAY SEPT 27, 2019 I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN AFTER ONLY PUTTING 9K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I WAS AGAIN LIKE LAST TIME TRAVELING AT AROUND 70 AND HIT A BRIDGE SEAM AND THE THRASHING BEGAN. I WAS IN 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO SLOW TO AROUND 30 MPH. THERE WAS A LOT OF COMMOTION AROUND ME BUT NO ONE HIT US OR ANYBODY ELSE.
WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING SEEMS SLOPPY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL SEND THE VEHICLE INTO A TERRIFYING SHIMMY.
NOVEMBER 2018 MY FORD F250 HAD 15K MILES WHEN YOU WERE GOING OVER 65MPH DRIVING SOUTH ON I-35 AND YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL YOU SLOWED DOWN UNDER 20 MPH, I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A PART AND SAID IT WAS FIXED, YESTERDAY(9-27-19) AT 27K THE SAME THING HAPPENED GOING NORTH ON I-35 THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD IS NOT DEALING WITH. WHEN I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY FORD DEALER EXPLAINING MY PROBLEM THE LADY SAID THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE SOMEONE WILL DIE ON THE HIGHWAY IF THIS IS NOT FIXED BY FORD IF ITS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY
AFTER HAVING TRUCK IN FOR DEATH WOBBLE AND NEW STEERING DAMPENER INSTALLED, TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY WOBBLING AGAIN AT SPEEDS OF 55-70 GOING ACROSS SOME BUMPS OR BRIDGES. THE WHOLE TRUCK, DASH, STEERING, WHEELS AND SEATS SHAKE UNTIL YOU SLOW BACK DOWN TO 50. THERE IS VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. SO NOW TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS A HIGHWAY, A STREET OR A ROAD. CERTAIN BRIDGES, OVERPASSES OR BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE WOBBLE TO START. DEATHLY FRIGHTENING FOR 10 YEAR DAUGHTER RIDING IN TRUCK WITH ME.
WHEN DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS 65+ IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE YOUR TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IT'S ALL YOU CAN DO TO KEEP THE WHEEL STEADY AND SLOW DOWN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER AND REPLACED IT. IT IS STILL DOING IT AND NOW THE DEALER IS TRYING TO BLAME IT ON ALIGNMENT AND TIRES.
VEHICLE FRONT WHEEL STARTS SHAKING WHEN IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO MAKE IT STOP. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH ABOUT 14000 MILES, PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND IT'S BEEN GOOD UNTIL 28000 AND IT'S DONE IT THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. ALMOST PUT ME IN THE WALL ON ONE OCCASION , GOING BACK TO SHOP. ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 TO 70 MPH.
I PURCHASE A NEW 2017 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT ITS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE " SEVERAL TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP SHOP HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I AM ALREADY VERY FRUSTRATED. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS WEN I'M GOING IN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 60 MILES PER HOUR AND HIT A SMALL BUMP LIKE A OVERPASS OR BRIDGE AND THE FRONT STEERING START SHIMMYING, SHAKING, DANGEROUSLY SO I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ME, MY FAMILY OR OTHER DRIVERS DIE BECAUSE OF THIS UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION.
BOUGHT TRUCK NEW. AT 16,000 MILES STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OVER 55 MPH, WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, SAID THEY COULD'NT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM CONTINUED, TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR WHILE BUT I COULD FEEL IT GETTING WORSE (STEERING WHEEL STARTING TO SHAKE A LITTLE WHEN HITTING BUMPS) BUT NEVER WENT INTO FULL DEATH WOBBLE, AT 27,000 MILES IT WENT INTO FULL DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN ON FREEWAY OVERPASS WITH WIFE AND KID, VERY SCARY. TAKING BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW. TRUCK HAS STOCK TIRES, STOCK WHEELS, STOCK SUSPENSION, STOCK SHOCKS, STOCK RIDE HEIGHT. TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.
AFTER A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY SUCH AS A POT-HOLE OR BRIDGE APPROACH, MY 2017 F250 WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 60-75 MPH. THIS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW IN 2017. RECENTLY MY WIFE HAD EXPERIENCE THIS TO THE POINT WHERE SHE WAS SHAKEN OFF THE ROADWAY AND TONIGHT I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD FOCUS ON THE ROAD, THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS SHAKING!!! I TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MI BEFORE I COULD GET IT UNDER CONTROL. MIND YOU THIS HAPPENED OVER FOUR DIFFERENT BRIDGES. ONE BEING A 150' DROP TO THE RIVER BELOW. . I'M FINALLY AT MY BREAKING POINT WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD A BAD THOUGHT OVER THE LAST 17 YEARS OF DRIVING FORDS TRUCK BUT THIS ONE BROKE ME. I HAVE KEPT THIS TRUCK STOCK FROM THE WHEELS, TIRES, AND SUSPENSION. I DON'T UNDERSTOOD HOW FORD COULD PUT OUT SUCH DEFECTIVE VEHICLE???
DEATH WOBBLE. STEERING SHAKES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY. HAPPENS MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. WHEEL BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT DID NOT MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. DEALER FOUND NO ISSUES AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SHAKING.
I AM EXPERIENCING WOBBLE IN THE STEERING AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. CANNOT CONTROL VEHICLE. IT IS GONNA KILL ME OR SOMEONE. MY FAMILY ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS TRUCK NOW
THIS COMPLAINT IS REFERRING TO THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THE FORD SUPER DUTY. DEATH WOBBLE DEFINED AS UNCONTROLLED OSCILLATION OF STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WHEN TRUCK HAD ~ 20000 MILES. I HAD VEHICLE SERVICE BY FORD DEALERSHIP @ ~ 28000 MILES AND WAS TOLD STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED. DEATH WOBBLE REOCCURRED AGAIN ~10000 MILES AFTER SERVICE. HOWEVER VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO KEEP MAKING FREQUENT REPAIRS. DEATH WOBBLE IS OCCURING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN GOING OVER BRIDGE EXPANSION GAPS, HITTING POTHOLES, OR SIMILAR ROAD BUMPS.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 61 MPH, TRUCK HIT A VERY SLIGHT BUMP IN ROAD AND A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE TIRES AND STEERING BEGAN. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPPED. BY THE TIME THE SHAKING STOPPED I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THIS WAS NOT JUST A LIGHT SHAKING. IT WAS VERY VIOLENT !
WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND I25 AT VAIL PASS IN COLORADO I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH WHEN I DROVE OVER SOME ASPHALT THAT HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY STEERING AND WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC(I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE/ WE TRAVELED ACROSS TWO LANES WHEN OUT OF CONTROL). THE ROAD WORK WAS NORMAL, NOT BAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON EVERY SINGLE BUMP AND ON EVERY SINGLE BRIDGE SEAM I DRIVE OVER. THIS WILL CAUSE A FATALITY IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY.
I HAVE A 2017 F250 THAT DEVELOPED A SERIOUSLY VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR BRIDGE EXPANSION AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER THE TRUCK NEARLY GOT OUT OF CONTROL ON A FEW OCCASIONS TWICE WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS IN THESE MODEL TRUCKS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACK BAR, HOWEVER IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE TRUCK WHILE I WAITED FOR THE PART. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF ME CALLING REPEATEDLY TO CHECK ON THE STATUS IT FINALLY CAME IN AND THEY REPLACED IT ALONG WITH THE ONE SHOCK BECAUSE THEY SAID IT CAUSED IT DAMAGE. NOW HERE I AM A COUPLE MONTHS LATER AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS BACK AND MORE DANGEROUS. I TAKE THE TRUCK BACK IN AND TELL THEM THE TRACK BAR IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THEY PROCEED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WILL LOOK AT IT, IT COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS. MIND YOU THE TRUCK HAS 44,000 MILES NOW AND ANYTHING BUT THE TRACK BAR THEY TELL ME IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, DESPITE THAT THIS IS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM I'VE HAD THEM LOOKING AT THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED. NOW I GET A PRICE QUOTE TELLING ME THAT IT NEEDS A DRAG LINK, A ROD, AND AN END ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WILL COST ME $625 FOR THE REPAIRS! THIS IS FOR A PROBLEM THAT I BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR MONTHS AGO AND I GOT STUCK WAITING ON BACK ORDERED PARTS. EVEN AFTER THE NEW DIAGNOSIS I A
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEADLE'S SALES (LOCATED AT 1404 E GRAND CROSSING, MOBRIDGE, SD 57601, (605) 845-3671) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORSION BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
THE FRONT END WOBBLES VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR ROUGH ROAD. IT WOBBLES SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC TO STOP THE WOBBLE. TOOK IT TO TODD JUDY IN MARMET , WV IN JULY AND AUGUST, 2019 THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. JUST DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE. FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE TRUCKS DUE TO THE DEATH WOBBLE. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED WHEN IT START'S WOBBLING YOU HAVE TO STOP IN THE TRAFFIC TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS. JULY IT STARTED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. THEN COMING DOWN GAULEY MOUNTAIN AT 40MPH. THEN IN AUGUST IT DID IT AGAIN THEY HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS AND STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT STILL DOES IT. WE NEED THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE I WRECK AND KILL SOMEONE. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER F250 OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO HELP US GET A RECALL ON THE F250'S. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF PROBLEM SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT AND ALSO RIDE IN IT.
GETTING "DEATH WOBBLE" OR STEERING OSCILLATIONS AND VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON ROAD AT MODERATE AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK THE TRUCK IN AT 24K MILES AND STEERING PARTS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. 7 MONTHS/14K MILES LATER, SAME THING HAPPENING, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND SAME PARTS PLUS OTHERS NOW NEED REPLACED AND FORD CLAIMS IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
I HAVE OWNED A 2017 F250 SUPER DUTY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND TWICE THE TAILGATE HAS OPENED WHEN DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME WAS NOT LONG AFTER I HAD THE TRUCK IN THE FALL OF 2018 AND THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD LEFT IT DOWN, ALTHOUGH IT MADE NO SENSE SINCE I HAD NOT LOADED ANYTHING IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, BUT SOMEONE WAVED ME DOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HOWEVER, ON THE EXPRESSWAY, LESS THAN FIVE WEEKS AGO, IN AUSTIN, TEXAS (WE LIVE IN ATLANTA AND WAS VISITING OUR SON,) THE TAILGATE CAME DOWN AND A PIECE OF LUGGAGE FELL OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I WAS ONLY NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL DRIVERS CAME UP BESIDE US AND YELLED OUT THEIR WINDOWS THAT THE TAILGATE WAS DOWN. TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO AUTO WAS DAMAGED BEHIND US BUT HARD TO KNOW FOR SURE SINCE WE WERE GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND NOT SURE HOW FAR BACK THE PIECE OF LUGGAGE FELL OUT. SADLY IT HAD SOME OF MY WIFE'S MEDICINES AND OTHER ITEMS AMOUNTING TO APPROXIMATELY $600 IN TOTAL VALUE AND WE COULD NOT RECOVER THE PIECE OF LUGGAGE. LUCKILY THE OTHER ITEMS DID NOT FALL OUT (SEVERAL HEAVY BOXES OF ITEMS FOR OUR SON). IN LOOKING ONLINE TODAY, I FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. I WILL BE GLAD TO FURNISH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IF REQUIRED.
I CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 33,000 MILES ON MY STOCK 2017 F250 LARIAT TRUCK WITH FACTORY 20" WHEELS AND FACTORY MICHELIN TIRES. ABOUT 10,000 MILES AGO, THE FRONT END EXHIBITED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN CROSSING OVER A BUMP/EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORSION BAR, STEERING STABILIZER, AND SOME OTHER PARTS. TODAY, WITH A TRAILER IN TOW, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. LATER IN THE DAY, I DROPPED THE TRAILER AND THE TRUCK'S FRONT END DID IT AGAIN AT 55MPH WHILE IN AN OVERPASS TURN IMMEDIATELY AFTER CROSSING AN EXPANSION JOINT. EVERYTHING IS STOCK EXCEPT FOR THE NEW PARTS THE DEALER REPLACED LAST YEAR. I HAVE 60 PSI IN THE FRONT AND 65 PSI IN THE REAR. I HAVE A VIDEO OF AN OCCURRENCE BUT THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ATTACH AN MP4 FILE.
DEATH WOBBLE, SHIMMY, OR OSCILLATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMP, BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR IMPERFECTION IN ROAD. VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE, DARTS UNTO OTHER LANE IF WOBBLE STARTS IN A CURVE. MUST SLOW TO 15-25 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL
ACCELERATING ON TO INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65MPH, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL HIT A DEPRESSION IN THE ROAD SURFACE, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SWING VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WITH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DISPLACEMENT BECOMING LARGER IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I BRAKED HARD BRINGING THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. NARROWLY MISSING AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK. AFTER CHECKING FRONT SUSPENSION, I GINGERLY REJOINED THE FREEWAY AND CONTINUED AT 45MPH TO THE NEXT EXIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS KNOW AS DEATH WOBBLE IN THE F250 COMMUNITY
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OUR FORD F-250 STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE IN THE FRONT END AFTER GOING ONTO AN OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VIOLENT WOBBLE OF THE FRONT END. IT FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION IS GOING TO SELF DESTRUCT. THIS HAPPENED ONE TIME AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH AND ANOTHER TIME AT A SPEED OF 75 MPH. IN ORDER TO GET THE FRONT END SHAKING TO STOP, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. DURING BOTH EPISODES, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE WOBBLING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE FIRST EPISODE OCCURRED WITH APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT EPISODE, WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND INDICATED IT WAS FIXED. THE SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED WITH ABOUT 29,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WE AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE CASTER SETTING ON THE VEHICLE TO AN OUT OF SPEC CONDITION AND TOLD US THAT THE FORD REGIONAL SERVICE REP TOLD THEM THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THAT SERVICE VISIT, THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 MPH AND 76 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH AT A RELATIVELY HIGH SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A THIRD TIME TO ADDRESS THIS NEWEST PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS RIGHT AT 36,000 MILES ON IT AND IS AT THE END OF THE WARRANTY M

COMMONLY BEING REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE - DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE HORRIBLY, NEED TO SLOW DOWN, PULL OVER FOR IT TO STOP. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE STEERING STABILIZER BUT STATED IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN THEY WILL DO FRONT END ALIGNMENT WITH CASTER SHIMS REPLACEMENT
DEATH WOBBLE IN THE 2017 FORD F250 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE WERE NEARLY KILLED THIS PAST WEEKEND. FORD SERVICE HAS IT RIGHT NOW. BUT FROM ALL THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ, THE WOBBLE RETURNS AND USUALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ONE TIME TO US 6 MONTHS AGO, AND THIS PAST WEEKEND ABOUT 5 OR 6 TIMES ON A 250 MILE ROAD TRIP. SHAKES AND WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY . WE WERE ON I-40 GOING ABOUT 70 MILES MPH. WHEN WE WOULD HIT BUMPS OR CROSS UNEVEN BRIDGE IT WOULD GO CRAZY.
FIRST TIME AT 6000 MILES DRIVING 70MPH EXPENERNST THE DEATH WOBBLE. FORD COULDN'T GET PARTS THEY NEEDED. ALLINED AT LOCAL FORD DEALER TO FORD RECOMMENDATIONS. DIDN'T EXPERIENCE AGAIN TILL 26000 MILES. WE ARE ON A TRIP AND IT HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES. FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO ADMIT WE HAVE A PROBLEM. WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATES.
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (>45MPH) WHEN PASSING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHUDDER SIGNIFICANTLY FOR UP TO 100 YARDS AFTER PASSING THE ROUGH SPOT AND ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT AND REQUIRED SLOWING DOWN AND EVEN STOPPING TO MAKE THE VIBRATION CEASE. THERE WAS ALSO A CONTINUOUS SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AND ABOVE 50 MPH ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT.
DEATH WOBBLE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY IF A BUMP IN ROAD IS HIT, REQUIRING VEHICLE TO BE STOPPED TO END THE SHAKING, MAKING IT DANGEROUS WHEN CAN'T STOP IN TRAFFIC. HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WITH THE DATE LISTED AS THE MOST RECENT. STEERING WHEEL IS PULLED OUT OF HANDS WHILE DRIVING.
TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE I10 FREEWAY WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 10 MPH AND IT STOPPED. I STARTED GOING AGAIN AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THIS IS "DEATH WOBBLE" FROM READING ALL OF THE FORUMS
IN DOING RESEARCH, I EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE.' WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THIS ACTION CAUSED US TO GO FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTHER ON THE FREEWAY. TWO HANDS WERE NEEDED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND NOT GO OFF THE ROAD. WE STOPPED AND INSPECTED AND SAW NOTHING.
VIOLENT FRONT IN SHAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS CAUSED BY HITTING ANY SMALL BUMP IN ROADWAY. 'DEATH WOBBLE' I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS AT VARIOUS SEVERITY LEVELS, EACH REQUIRING VEHICLE TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. TODAY'S INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE, HIT A SMALL BUMP GOING OVER A BRIDGE, TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING CONTROL LOSS. THE SHAKING PULLED THE VEHICLE ACROSS NEIGHBORING LANE AND HAD TO SLOW TO 20-30 MPH BEFORE SHAKING STOPPED. VERY UNSAFE, LUCKILY NO VEHICLE WAS IN VICINITY PREVENTING POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. VERY CONCERNING & DANGEROUS. SEEMS TO BE NO FIX.
WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-84, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE AND STEERING ISSUE THAT THREW MY VEHICLE FROM THE RIGHT LANE INTO THE LEFT LANE. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. I WAS TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND HIT SOME UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND SMALL POT HOLES. MY EXPERIENCE WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY RESEARCH OF THE SYMPTOMS CLOSELY MATCHES THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, FURTHER RESEARCH SHOW THAT THESE ALIGNMENTS CAN MAKE THINGS WORSE. I STRONGLY URGE THAT THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE.
THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS DRIVE DRIVE, WHILE AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH AND HIGHER IT WILL START TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME ISSUE LESS THAN 5000 MILES AGO NOW IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR FORD TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADMIT AND FIX IT?
THE 120 VOLT OUTLET IN THE DASH FAULTS OUT ALL THE TIME, IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. FORD CSR AT FIRST CLAIMED THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHICH WAS A LIE, AS I COULD SHOW THEM THE FAILURE, THEN FORD CSR SENT ME AN EMAIL STATING THEY CAN NOT FIX IT AND IF I DON'T LIKE THEIR ANSWER TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
TAILGATE OPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, FORD DID NOT RESPOND WHEN I FIRST IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM, THEN I LOST AN EXPENSIVE TOOL BOX FULL OF TOOLS FROM THE BACK OF MY TRUCK, STILL NO RESOLUTION AND I'M OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. FORD DOES NOT CARE AFTER THE SALE.
DEATH WOBBLE. TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AROUND 55-60 MPH AND WAS SHAKING SO BAD I COULD NOT HOLD ON TO STEERING WHEEL. IT HAD RIGHT OVER 15,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME . IF HAVE CALLED DEALER SHIP AND HAD IT BACK IN A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES WITH NOTHING BUT EXCUSES AND THEY SAY THEY PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPNER ON IT . IT HELPED FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS . I HAVE FOUGHT IT EVER SINCE I FIRST NOTICED IT AND NOW IT IS TOO THE POINT IT DOES IT WITH THE SLIGHTEST POTHOLE OR MANHOLE COVER IN ROAD. PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. MY TRUCK NOW HAS JUST OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON IT....... SO I WASN'T SMART ENOUGH TO PLAY THE GAME WITH THE DEALERSHIP WAS PLAYING WHICH WAS JUST GET IT PASSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEN ITS MY BABY. I LOST
AT APPROX. 7K MILES, FRONT TIRES SEEMED OUT OF BALANCE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER AND THEY HAD TROUBLE BALANCING FRONT WHEELS AND HAD TO BALANCE MORE THAN ONCE. AT APPROX. 40K MILES THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP/POTHOLE AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND OVER ON HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING CYCLE IS TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROX. 35 MPH. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 58K MILES AND BEGINS THE SHAKING, INTERMITTENTLY, AT SPEEDS OF 62 MPH AND GREATER ON HIGHWAY. I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE MECHANIC'S RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND INSTALL WHEEL CAMS, WHICH ARE NOT PARTS CURRENTLY ON THE VEHICLE FROM THE FACTORY. NONE OF THIS RECOMMENDED WORK OR DIAGNOSIS WAS COVERED BY FORD.
VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTROLLABLE FRONT END "WOBBLE" AT HIGHWAY SPEED. HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. 2 OF THOSE INCIDENTS WITH YOUNG (19 AND 24 YR OLD) DRIVERS AT THE WHEEL. SEEMS TO OCCUR COMING OFF A BRIDGE ONTO HIGHWAY PAVEMENT AT 60-65 MPH.
"DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN I HIT ANY ROUGH SPOTS ON ROAD, OR BRIDGE JOINTS, OR ROAD JOINTS AT OR ABOVE 60 MPH I GET A VIOLENT WOBBLE ON FRONT OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING IT AND HAVE TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN BELOW APPROX.40 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED FOR THIS ISSUE AT APPROX. 20K MILES AND THE ISSUSE SUBSIDED FOR A WHILE BUT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN WITH APPROX 37K MILES. THIS IS A VERY UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENS.
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TWICE I HAVE HIT A BRIDGE WITH A SOMEWHAT ROUGH APPROACH. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE FIRST TIME THE SHAKING STOPPED WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO 55MPH OR SO. THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO BRAKE AGGRESSIVELY AND FADE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WILL LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS. MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS SET TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS LISTED ON THE FRONT DOOR FRAME. ORIGINAL TIRES ARE WELL WITHIN WEAR LIMITS AND THE TRUCK DRIVES STRAIGHT.
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HIT A BUMP AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO A VERY VIOLENT SHAKE, TOOK MY TRUCK TO AUTONATION FORD IN LITTLETON CO, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER, IT HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT. AT 21,000 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I AGAIN RETURNED TO AUTONATION FORD AND THEY TOLD ME ON THE SERVICE REPORT THAT I NEEDED TO INSTALL AFTER MARKET PRODUCTS AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE TO MY TRUCK. I HAVE SINCE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK, SPRADLEY FORD IN PUEBLO CO. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A CAMBER AND CASTER ISSUE AND ANY FORD DEALERSHIP KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AUTONATION FORD IN LITTLETON AND SUMMIT FORD IN SILVERTHORNE CO, BOTH HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY SUCH ISSUE. TODAY I SPOKE WITH 4 WHEEL PARTS ABOUT MY ISSUE, THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE BACK LOGGED WITH FORD TRUCKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND IT CAN BE RESOLVED WITH MANY PART REPLACEMENTS AT A COST RANGING FROM $25.00 TO $700.00, UNLESS THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WEAR. AT THIS POINT I FEEL MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WHICH DIRECTION TO TAKE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE"
"DEATH WOBBLE". IF YOU HIT ANY ROUGH SPOTS ON ROAD AT OR ABOVE 60 MPH YOU GET A VIOLENT WOBBLE ON FRONT OF THE TRUCK. YOU HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING IT. YOU HAVE TO GET BELOW 20 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. DEALERSHIP SAYS NOT A PROBLEM.
WHEN I GET A LOT OF SHACKING FROM MY TRUCK WIN DRIVING AND SHACKING WIN THE ROAD HAS BUMPS AND SMALL POT HOLES
TRUCK HAS APPROX 15,0000 MILES HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING OF TRUCK WHEN CROSSED ROUGH PAVEMENT AT 45 MPH HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE RECENTLY
AT APPROXIMATELY 35,500 MILES I HAD THE TRACK BAR, A NEW STEERING BOX AND PITMAN ARM REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR, AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 THE TRUCK DEVELOPED "DEATH WOBBLE" 3 TIMES OVER SMALL BUMPS AT ABOUT 50MPH . I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY BACK TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 IN THE FAST LANE THINKING THEY FIXED AND THE TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO DEATH WOBBLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 -70 MPH AND HAD TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR PILE UP AS THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. AFTER I GOT BACK I DROPPED THE TRUCK AT FORD AGAIN AND TOLD HIM DRIVE IT, WHICH HE WOULDN'T , HE SAID HE CHECKED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND THEY WERE TIGHT, HE SAID "TAKE TO SOME PLACE THAT HAS A BETTER ALIGNMENT RACK, SO I DID THAT AND PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR IT. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I REPLACED THE STEERING BOX TO A TOP OF THE LINE BOX OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN REPLACED . I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SAFELY SINCE NOV. OF 2018 AND IT IS NOW JUL. 29TH 2019. I CANT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF KILLING AN INNOCENT PERSON, EVEN THE MECHANIC THAT PUT THE SECOND STEERING BOX IN DID THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITH HIM AFTER THE 2ND REPLACEMENT BOX. AFTER LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONS I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PEOPLE ARE GOING DIE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. IT IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THERE AR
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
