2017 Ford F-250 SD complaints

DEATH WOBBLE. TRUCK HAS ABOUT 28,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN GOING AROUND 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I HIT AN AVERAGE BUMP AND THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. ACTUALLY HURT MY WRIST FROM HANGING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH BEFORE I HAD CONTROL AGAIN.

CONDITION BECOMING KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN BACK IN APRIL OF 2018. VIOLENTLY SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AFTER HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY AND LIFE THREATENING. WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAD 17,000 MILES. WAS FINE UP UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO OR 3/12/19. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND IS CURRENTLY AT SAME DEALERSHIP BEING EVALUATED. VEHICLE IS A DEADLY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE PICKUP CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES.

WHILE TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING AND VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED TO 40 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM A FEW TIMES AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT.

2017 FORD F250 HAS A UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE IN THE FRONT END. IT SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD,EVEN WITH TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL IT WILL THROW YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE. IT HAPPEN TODAY 3/13/2019 AT 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK HAS 26066 MILES ON IT. I HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND TRUCK SERVICE ONLY A FORD DEALERSHIP. MY TIRE ARE NOT WORN, I DO NOT HAVE ANY CRACKED BOOTS NOR IS THERE AND GREASE COMING OUT OF THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAILGATE OPENED ON ITS OWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK FORD (540 SOUTHERN ARTERY, QUINCY, MA 02169, (617) 770-0070) AND THE TAILGATE HINGES WERE GREASED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,500.

DEATH WOBBLE, TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL TRAVELING OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR ON HIGHWAY. WHEEL VIOLENTLY WHIPPING BACK AND FORTH FAST AND VIOLENTLY. LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY.

AFTER HITTING CERTAIN TYPES OF BUMPS, POTHOLES ETC, I EXPERIENCE WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE", VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS IS HAPPENING IN INCREASING FREQUENCY.

2017 F-250 CURRENTLY HAS 19,000 MILES. 100 PERCENT STOCK VEHICLE. HAS SEVERE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEELS OF THE TRUCK ON CONCRETE ROADS AT 60 MPH. HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN PULLING A HORSE TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES AT THE TIME. ALMOST CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. WAS THE MOST VIOLENT SHAKING I HAVE EVER FELT IN A VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO BARELY GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM. THAT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREAK INCIDENT BUT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON. CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET. HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WHILE NOT PULLING ANYTHING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60MPH AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON HIGHWAYS OR INTERSTATES.

WAS TRAVELING ON I90 WITH MY FATHER, WAS DOING 70 MILES PER WHEN TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND JERKING WAS ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP HOLD OF STEERING WHEEL. THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME THAT NEARLY HIT US AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP SHAKING NEVER BEEN SO SCARED

IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, DRIVING 55-60MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HITS A BRIDGE APPROACH.IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE, FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AT 17,000 MILES, STARTED DOING IT AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES, WENT BACK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE CASTOR SHIMS THE FRONT END, NOW IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AT 30,500 MILES. I HAD TO BRAKE TO GET SPEED DOWN TO 30 MPH FOR IT TO STOP, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65MPH. WHEN I DROVE OVER AN OVERPASS. AT 65 MPH I WENT OVER THE EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES. AFTER SLOWING DOWN WE RETURNED TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ONLY TO HIT SOME POTHOLES TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WHERE WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM A SECOND TIME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM, AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, ON THE SAME HIGHWAY IN THE SAME SPOT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. HOWEVER ON 03/07/2019 MY WIFE TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN APPOINTMENT, AND ONCE AGAIN ON THE SAME HIGHWAY IN THE SAME PLACE AT 70MPH IT HAPPENED A FOURTH TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT OUR TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED, BALANCED , AND ARE NOT EVEN DOWN TO THE TREADWEAR INDICATORS.

WELL TRAVELLING AT 65MPH I WENT OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT AND GOT WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. THE TRUCK IS 100% STOCK WITH 24K MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TWO DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A NEWER TOLL ROAD ABOUT 70 MPH I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK BEGAN BOUNCING AND MY STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE HEADING TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. IT HAS ALMOST KILLED ME TWICE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/4JV7L8BBO1Q THE LINK IS A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS TO STEERING WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY LIFE

WITH NO NOTICE THE TRUCK CUT OFF AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT RESTART. BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION THE POLICE ORDERED A TOW TO MOVE IT QUICKLY. LATER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOWED IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD BUT THEY REQUIRED MORE THROUGH WORK TO QUOTE IT ALL. IT ENDED UP THE WHOLE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE FUEL INJECTORS. FORD CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WATER CONTAMENATED FUEL HOWEVER MY INSURANCE SENT A SAMPLE PULLED FROM THE TRUCK AND FOUND ONLY METALS CONSISTENT WITH THE MATERIAL FOUND IN THE FUEL SYSTEM BUT NO WATER. MY INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWED RECALLS FOR THIS TRUCK WERE ISSUED FOR A MISSING STRAP ON THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOT FOR MY VIN WHICH WAS PRODUCED IN THE KENTUCKY PLANT. WHEN I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AS THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER. THE TRUCK SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER. I WAS BILLED $9,493.49 BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED WATER CONTAINATION IN THE FUEL WHICH WAS NOT PRESENT. I HAD THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE CHECK THE LAST PLACED I PURCHASED FUEL AND IT WAS ALSO FINE AS WAS THE FUEL THE INSURANCE COMPANY PULLED FROM THE TRUCK. FORD OWES THE CONSUMER A RECALL AND REINBURSEMENT FOR THE CHANGES! THIS HAPPENED TO BE THE 2ND FUEL SYSTEM THIS TRUCK HAS RECEIVED. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I AM UNABLE TO LOAD THE SERVICE RECORD DETAILS DUE TO FILE SIZE. I WILL SEND THEM IF YOU WILL ALLOW IT.

2017 F250 44,000 MILES EXPERIENCING EXTREME FRONT TIRE WOBBLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY (DEATH WOBBLE) NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IM CROSSING OVER A BRIDGE OR HIT MINOR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. USUALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 65 MPH AND WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTS IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL AROUND 30 MPH I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS UNTIL I CAN GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I HAVE EVERYTHING STOCK ON MY TRUCK . I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO A SHOP TO CHECK FRONT END AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE TIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH FORD TRUCK OWNER BLOGS AND THIS IS A SERIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I AM A LONG TIME FORD TRUCK OWNER AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY TRUCKS.

AT FREEWAY SPEEDS 70-75 MPH, AN EXTREME WOBBLE AND SHAKING TOOK PLACE AFTER RUNNING OVER A LITTLE ROUGH PAVEMENT. TRUCK HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH FOR SHAKING TO STOP. SOME POSTS ON THE INTERNET HAVE CALLED THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON I 90 FREEWAY IN RECENT TRIP FROM TACOMA TO SPOKANE. DEALER IS CHECKING OUT THE TRUCK. SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT STEERING CONTROL IS LIMITED. PROBLEM FIRST EXPERIENCED 3-3-19. TRUCK HAS 40,000 MILES.

2017 F250 FIRST DEATH WOBBLE AT 40,000 MILES, NOW 53,000 MILES AND EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE DAILY. DAILY DRIVER, PRAY TO GOD FORD CORRECTS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES! VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED DEATH WOBBLE FORCES YOU TO SLOW TO BELOW 40 MPH TO STOP, NOW YOU HAVE BECOME A ROLLING ROAD BLOCK TO BE REAR ENDED.

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING OVER 65 ON ANY ROAD AND YOU HIT A BUMP (LIKE COMING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT THE BEGINNING OF A BRIDGE). AFTER THE SHAKING HAS STARTED, IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A DEAD STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY, MYSELF, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN BABIED. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS DIED FROM THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST SO THIS REALLY IS CONCERNING. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

SATURDAY, MAY 2ND, 2019. DROVE OVER A HIGHWAY BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THAT WAS ON AN ANGLE. THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY STARTED TO OSCILLATE FAIRLY VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUDDER. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. AS I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, ONCE AROUND 30MPH THE SHUDDER/SHAKING STOPPED. MY TRUCK HAS 19,037 MILES ON IT. IT IS STOCK. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 COMING HOME FROM TRIP WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN TRUCK WENT INTO A SHACK THAT ALMOST KILLED MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. TOOK ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CROSSING LANES INTO TRACTOR TRAILER THAT WAS NEXT TO ME. GOT PULLED OVER CHECKED TRUCK OVER AND FOUND NOTHING OUT OF PLACE. LATER CHECKED ON WEBSITES AND FOUND OUT FORD CALLS THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIME BEFORE WE GOT HOME ,BUT NOT AS SEVERE.

DRIVING AROUND 60-65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. SLOWED VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 AND WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THE TSB ISSUED FOR THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM IS JUST PUTTING A BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM AND DOESN'T FULLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE GOING ONE HERE WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS.

STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK STARTED AT 25000 MILES.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ABOVE 45 MILES AN HOUR I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL STARTS TO WOBBLE AND STEADILY WOBBLES FASTER AND FASTER UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL AND I HAVE TO BRING IT TO A STOP FOR IT TO SETTLE DOWN BEFORE I CAN PROCEED THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN DECEMBER 2018 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2019 THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR OVER A WEEK FOR THIS PROBLEM I HAVE SINCE LEARNED AND DONE RESEARCH THE TERM THAT IS BEING USED IS THE DEATH WOBBLE THE TRUCK HAS 15,500 MILES ON IT

FRONT END WOBBLES VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP OVER SPEEDS OF 40MPH. PROBLEM STARTED @ 26K MILES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SANTA MARGARITA FORD 3X'S FOR FIX. THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND HAVE TOLD ME TO TAKE TO TUTTLE CLICK FORD IN IRVINE. NEED HELP!!!! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!!

VEHICLE ENTERS AN UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING WARBLE WHEN EXITING BRIDGES ON THE INTERSTATE. PROBLEM WAS MENTIONED AND "REPAIRED" AT 17000 MILES. YESTERDAY THE WARBLE CAME BACK AFTER EXITING A BRIDGE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT I STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN. THE VEHICLE IS STOCK WITH ONLY A TOOL BOX AND BED COVER ADDED. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AT 65 MPH HEADING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION WHILE PULLING A TRAILER ON HWY 64. TSB # 18-2268 HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 17000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS RETURNED MORE VIOLENTLY AFTER THE REPAIR AT 30124 MILES

I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK DEVELOP AN INTERMITTENT ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE HIGHWAY SPEED FRONT END 'WOBBLE', IT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL THE TRUCK WHILE I SLOWED DOWN (IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE) I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS (BORMAN FORD IN LAS CRUCES NEW MEXICO, AND TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM...LAWLEY TEAM FORD IN SILVER CITY NEW MEXICO). BOTH DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS INDICATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO FORD SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF HIGHWAY SPEED STEERING/FRONT SUSPENSION WOBBBLE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AT SUGGESTED THAT I INSTALL A HEAVIER DUTY STEERING AFTERMARKET STABILIZER AND TRACK BAR...MY RESPONSE WAS THAT MY TRUCK WAS 2 YEARS OLD, WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, AND THAT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD PROVIDE THE PARTS AND NECESSARY REPAIR. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, MANY OWNERS OF 2017 AND NEWER FORD SUPERDUTY F-250'S ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, YET FORD APPEARS TO NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE. AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WOULD APPRECIATE HELP IN FORCING FORD TO ADDRESS THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE KNOW THAT MY TRUCK HAS ORIGINAL WHEELS AND TIRES, AND NO PORTION OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION OR STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. THANK YOU.

DIESEL FUEL SPRAYING OUT CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING INSIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING WHEELS TO SLIP. STRONG ODOR INSIDE CABIN.

2017 F250 WITH 43,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE MANY TIMES. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIME TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. ALL THEY DO IS PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPER ON. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES, BUT HAPPENS AGAIN. I KEEP WASTE TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS I JUST PRAY IT'S NOT THE DAY I DIE, FOR HOW VIOLENTLY IT SHAKES THE VEHICLE. WOULD HATE FOR FORD TO HAVE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM DUE TO THE DEATH OF SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

"DEATH WOBBLE" STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED. HELP!

WE OWN A 2017 FORD F-250 DIESEL CREW CAB 4X4, UNMODIFIED, WITH 15,094 MILES. ON A TRIP TO FRESNO CA FROM YUMA AZ, AND BACK AGAIN FEBRUARY 22ND AND 23RD 2019, I EXPERIENCE A QUICKLY ESCALATING SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION NINE SEPARATE TIMES THAT REQUIRED ME TO DANGEROUSLY SLOW DOWN FROM THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, AND MOST TIMES, TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER. MY TIRE PRESSURES WERE AS RECOMMENDED AND VERIFIED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AS WERE THEIR RECENT BALANCE, TOE, CAMBER, AND ALIGNMENT. I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WHEN THE F-250 VIN# [XXX] HAD JUST UNDER 9,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ADVISED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL TO CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE, AND BALANCE. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED I HAVE THEM ADJUST MY ?TOE? IN SLIGHTLY MORE THAN NORMALLY RECOMMENDED. THIS THEY SAID WOULD CAUSE MY TIRES TO WEAR SLIGHTLY FASTER, BUT WOULD COMBAT THE ?WOBBLE? THAT SOMETIMES PLAGUES THEIR UNITS. I FOUND THAT ONCE THE TRUCK HAD AT LEAST ONE SIDE OFF THE FIRM CONTACT OF THE PAVED, OR CEMENT ROADWAY, AND ON THE LOOSE GRAVEL, OR DIRT, THAT QUICKLY ELIMINATED THE OSCILLATION. THE PROBLEM IS THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NOT ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE WHEN THIS ATTACK HAPPENS BECAUSE OF OTHER VEHICLES, OR THERE JUST IS NO ROAD SHOULDER AT ALL. ONCE THE VIBRATION STARTS WHICH IS ALWAYS INITIATED BY ENCOUNTERING A JOLTING BLEMISH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A FEW OTHER IMPERFECTIONS. LIKE A ROAD JOINT, CRACKS, REPAIR PATCH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY OTHER IMPERFECTIONS LIKE REPETITIVE CRAC

WENT TO LEAVE WORK WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED BACKING UP MY DRIVER DOOR CAME OPEN. I STOPPED AND TRY TO SHUT IT AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH. TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET IT TO LATCH. FINALLY GOT IT TO LATCH, OR SO I THOUGHT, STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE BUSY TOWN ROAD AND WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE THE DOOR CAME OPEN AGAIN. LEAVING ME TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHEN I DRIVE UNTILL I COULD PULL OVER AND GET IT TO LATCH AGAIN. THE TRUCK HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL 'FIX' AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN IT'S COLD OUT.

DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL STARTS WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE VEERED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID VEERING. VERY DANGEROUS AND LUCKY THEIR WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 28000 MILES ON IT.

I HAVE A FORD F-250 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 12,495. MILES ON IT. WE ENTERED HWY 53 NORTH BOUND IN WI AND ACCELERATED UP TO SPEED 65 MPH . THEN WENT OVER A CRACK IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCKED STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.WHAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR BEHIND ME SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING TO COME OFF THE TRUCK.TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER PER TSB 18-2268. PT # HC3Z-3E651-F DAMPER ASSY.BIG QUSTION IS WHY DIDN'T THEY REPLACE THE TRACK BAR,AND TIE ROD ENDS AT THE SAME TIME. WITH THAT MUCH SHAKING GOING ON I AM SURE IT SHORTENED THE LIFE OF THOSE PARTS.

EXPERIENCED A "DEATH WOBBLE" 2 TIMES. NOTIFIED FORD AND THRY SAID 'OH YEAH YOU EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE. ASKED IF THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY STATED ONLY IF OUR TRUCK IS UNDER 36,000 MILES. OURS HAS 50,000. THE TRUCK IS AT FORD TO BE FIXED WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1800.00. WE BOUGHT OUT TRUCK MAY OF 2017.....FORD WOULD'VE KNOWN BY THEN THAT THERE WAS THIS PROBLEM, YET SOLD TO US....KNOWINGLY THAT "A DEATH WOBBLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIBRATION...." "THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE" WHY IS IT ALRIGHT TO KNOWINGLY SELL US SOMETHING THAT IS DANGEROUS?? WHY ARE WE HAVING TO INCUR THIS COST? WHY IS THERE NO REAL RECALL FOR THIS? PLEASE HELP. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST.

TRUCK HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS ABOVE 56 MPH.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT OVER 45 MPH MY 2017 FORD F250 GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. I KNOW FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB #18-2268 WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ON MY 3RD TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE PARTS INCLUDED IN THE TSB EXCEPT FOR A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY NEEDED TO TRY THESE OTHER STEPS FIRST. AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER TODAY I STILL EXPERIENCE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. DIDNT GO INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY BUT SUSPECT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE VIBRATION STILL THERE.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY SOMETIMES WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DRIVING OVER POTHOLES OR EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE HIGHWAY. HAS OCCURRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIR TWICE WITH NO FIX. IT'S IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS A THIRD TIME RIGHT NOW.

DEATH WOBBLE. WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH WHEN I PASSED OVER A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE FRONT END. I HAD TO SLOW TO 30PMH TO REGAIN CONTROL AFTER UNCONTROLLABLY BEING FORCED INTO ANOTHER LANE AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK AND THE FIRST TIME AFTER FORD ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUES BY REPLACING PARTS. I HAVE VIDEO OF BOTH EVENTS AND FORD WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE STATING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSING A 'DEATH WOBBLE' ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 45MPH OR SLOWER FOR IT TO SUBSIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPX. 70-75 MPH AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, I HAD TO SLOW TO 35-40 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE JUST HAD THE TIRES BALANCE, ROTATED, AND INFLATED TO THE SPECS. I WAS JUST IN THE DEARLSHIP ON FRIDAY 02/15/19 AND MENTIONED IT TO THEM THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AND WOULD BE $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE NEVER GOT AN ANSWER BACK. THIS MORNING ALONE I HAD EXPERIENCED IT 3 TIMES IN THE 40 MILES I DRIVE TO WORK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND TO EXPERIENCE IT THAT MANY TIMES IN A 40 MILE DRIVE TO WORK IS NOT OK. LUCKILY MY KIDS AND WIFE WEREN'T IN THE TRUCK THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER RODE IN IT AGAIN. I HAVE 41K MILES ON MY TUCK AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. BEFORE TAKING THE TRIES TO BE BALANCED AND ROTATED FIXED THE ISSUE SO IT SEAMED BUT RIGHT AFTER LAVING THE TIRE SHOP IT HAPPENED. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO FORD AGAIN FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHAT IS THE FIX FOR THIS? IT SEAMS TO A COMMON PROBLEM IS FORD DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS? NOW AFTER THIS RUN OF SUDDEN SHAKES MY SUN ROOF WILL NOT OPEN SEAMS TO BE JAMMED OR OFF TRACK FROM THE VIOLENT SHAKING NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IS BROKEN OR NO LONGER WORKS AFTER THIS.

2017 F250 WITH 35K. FIRST TIME HAULING MY 3 HORSE BUMPER PULL TRAILER. WENT OVER THE BUMP ONTO AN OVERPASS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 AND THE WHOLE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL WERE SHAKING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I SLOWED TO 55 AND IT STOPPED. IT DID IT TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY WITH SOPHIE IN THE CAR. I GOOGLED 2017 F250 SHAKING. IT'S A DEATH WOBBLE. AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55+) THE HOOD BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE TO THE POINT WHERE THE ALARM WILL COME ON SAYING HOOD IS NOT CLOSED COMPLETELY. PROBLEM HAS CONSISTENTLY GROWN OVER TIME. WHILE GOING INTO A HEAD WIND VIA MOTHER NATURE OR A SEMI, HOOD APPEARS TO BEGIN TO OPEN ALL THE WAY UP.

AS I WAS ENTERING FREEWAY I DROVE OVER AN EXPANSION GAP AT 50-55 MPH WHILE CHANGING LANES AT WHICH TIME MY TRUCKS FRONT END STARTED WHOBBLING AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL FRONT END AND TRUCK ALL TOGETHER. I STARTED TO BRAKE AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO ANOTHER LANE WHERE I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE 41,000 MILES, ORIGINAL RIMS, TIRES AND SUSPENSION.

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

MY FORD F-250 EXPERIENCED A SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON 3 OCCASIONS CAUSING THE NEED TO SLOW DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO 25 MPH ON THE FREEWAY DURING NORMAL TRAFFIC. ON ONE OCCASION, THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD IT WENT TO THE ADJACENT DRIVING LANE WHILE ON AN ON-RAMP AND WAS COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP NOW AND HAVING THE STEERING SHOCK REPLACED BUT THE SERVICE REP STATED THEY ARE JUST TRYING THIS AS A SOLUTION BUT DO NOT KNOW THE ROOT CAUSE. THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTING THAT I PAY FOR AN ALIGNMENT AS ANOTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTION. THE TRUCK HAS ROUGHLY 20K MILES ON IT AND IS COMPLETELY STOCK (LESS A CAMPER SHELL). I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY 2 YEAR OLD, 7 YEAR OLD, OR WIFE IN A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE WHILE HAVING TO WORRY IF THE TRUCK WILL CAUSE A WRECK DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT.

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN EXTENSIVE 'DEATH WOBBLE' UPON DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ASPHALT. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS STABILIZED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. SOUTHLAND FORD (801 NORTH ST, ASHBURN, GA 31714, (229) 567-3301) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED SOME FRONT END PARTS, INCLUDING THE TIRE STABILIZER, BUSHINGS, DAMPENERS, AND RESET THE CAMBER CASTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEATH WOBBLE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
