2017 Ford F-250 SD complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN, IN FORD SUPER DUTY'S. THIS AFTER FORD REPLACED A PART AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AFTER THE NEW PART WAS INSTALLED AS RECOMMENDED PER FORD THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ATTACHED IS COPY OF WORK DONE WHEN THE ISSUES FIRST HAPPENED AND THE PART THEY INSTALLED.

DEATH WOBBLE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING ON ROUGH ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WAITIG FOR BACK ORDERED PART FORD DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER AS FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM 2/21/2020 30241 MILES. PROBLEM BACK IN AUGUST 2020 38817 MILES.

MY 2017 FORD F250 HAS DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL TO THE DEGREE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN HOLD ONTO THE WHEEL.

BODY CAB SEAM SEAL LEAK. NEW VEHICLES - THE SEALS ARE CRACKING AND ALLOWING WATER TO SEEP INTO THE VEHICLES CAUSING WATER AND MOLD DAMAGE INSIDE. WATER ENTERS CAB INTO DOORS AND UNDERNEATH FLOOR COVERING CAUSING DAMAGE AND POTENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. THIS WAS FOUND ON MY VEHICLE WHILE PERFORMING RECALLS AND A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER. DEALER AND FORD TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR MFG DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THAT RECALL REPAIR ON 09/04/2019. THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE AT THE DEALER CAPITAL FORD WILMINGTON (4222 OLEANDER DR, WILMINGTON, NC 28403 910-799-4060). ON 07/01/20 AS THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE THERE WAS DARK GRAY SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS A FIRE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE THAT WAS EXTINGUISHED WITH AN EXTINGUISHER. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE WAS STILL COMING FROM THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT. THE CONTACT HAD PUT OUT THE SMOLDERING FLAMES FROM THAT PART ALSO. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE WITH THE DEALER SENDING PICTURES TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY HAD NOT RESPONDED. THEY SUGGESTED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY OFFERED NO HELP IN GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER SINCE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN YET RESPONDED. THE VEHICLE STILL REMAINS AT THE DEALER UNREPAIRED WITH NO PROGRESS BEING MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,761. *DT*JB*DT*JB

HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING TRUCK WILL BUCK THEN LOSE TOTAL POWER AND WILL NOT RESTART. ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

MY VEHICLE SUSTAINS AND OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND ABOVE, THE FRONT END 'DEATH WOBBLE.' THE VEHICLE BECOMES COMPLETELY ERRATIC IN STEERING AND CONTROL AFTER CROSSING A SMALL SEAM AND OR A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY PAVEMENT SURFACE THE DRIVER IS FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY REDUCE SPEED FROM ABOVE 60 MPH DOWN TO AROUND 20 TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED UPON NUMEROUS OCCASION WITH MY THREE-YEAR-OLD VEHICLE, AND HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. FORD HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER COMPONENT, WHICH HAS BEEN DONE BY A NON-FORD REPAIR SHOP IN MY INSTANCE. THIS HAS DONE NOTHING TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST THE DEATH WOBBLE. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY STRANDED IN MARION ILLINOIS, BEING REPAIRED AT A FORD AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER WITHOUT THESE REPAIRS BEING PERFORMED. THIS DESIGN FLAW IN FORD BEGAN IN 2005 THROUGH 2019 MODEL YEAR F250 TRUCKS.

UNCONTROLLABLE SHUTTING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW, HAD THE FIRST STEERING OSCILLATING EXPERIENCE OR DEATH WOBBLE AT AROUND 10000 MILES. HAPPENED ON AND OFF, TOOK IT IN FOR WARRANTY AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES, BUT REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER. I PRETTY MUNCHED STOPPED DRIVING OVER 63 MPH UNLESS I KNEW EVERY BUMP ON THE ROAD BY HEART. FINALLY GOT IT IN AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AT AROUND 17000 MILES DUE TO THE CONTINUED DEATH WOBBLE THAT WOULD HAPPEN OVER CERTAIN BUMPS AT SPEEDS OVER 65. THEY FOUND A BAD LOWER TIE ROD END. AFTER REPLACING THE TIE ROD END IT SEEMED TO DRIVE A LITTLE BETTER, FINALLY WENT 70MPH AGAIN, BUT NOT FOR LONG. AT ABOUT 22,000 MILES IT STARTED AGAIN, MY WIFE WAS WITH ME AND EXPERIENCED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE CRIED... HAS NOT SET FOOT IN IT SINCE. IT NOW HAS 23000 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN IT OR DRIVE IT. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY 3 KIDS TO RIDE IN IT EITHER. IF IT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG TIME IT COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE. I'M A VERY MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON, AND EXPERIENCED DRIVER. IT TRULY SCARES ME WHEN IT HAPPENS. BETWEEN THE DEATH WOBBLE, AND FORD URGING DEALERSHIPS TO HUSH HUSH THE SEVERITY, I WONT BE BUYING ANOTHER NEW FORD ANYTIME SOON. AND I PURCHASED 3 NEW TRUCKS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS, AND HAVE EASILY OWNED 15 OR MORE. THIS IS JUST MY COMPLAINT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS POTENTIALLY A DEADLY DESIGN FLAW. NOT TO MENTION IT SHAKES BAD WHILE TOWING. AND IT'S NOT THE TRAILER, I PULLED 3 DIFFERENT ONES. AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT JUST HOW THEY TOW WHEN I BROUGHT THE TSB

TRUCK EXPERIENCES DEATH WOBBLE AND ABILITY TO CONTROL STEERING . FORD HAS TRIED TO FIX THREE TIMES WITH SAME PARTS. WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD OVER 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN A ROUGH PART OF ROAD IT SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY TILL YOU SLOW BELOW 25 . CAN'T CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF VEHICLE TILL IT SLOWS DOWN

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND SPEEDS OF 60MPH -70MPH IF A FRONT WHEEL WOULD STRIKE ROUGH PAVEMENT, I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE FRONT END WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AKA "DEATH WOBBLE", AND I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY BRAKE AND BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP, FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. EVERY TIME THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAS HAPPENED I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 29000 MILES, AND THE ISSUE BEGAN BEFORE I HAD 5,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN FOR THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2/03/17. ON 12/01/17 WIFE AND 7 YR. OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE 2017 F250 VEHICLE ON I205 NORTHBOUND ON GLEN JACKSON BRIDGE IN OREGON. SHE RAN OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT GOING ABOUT 60MPH AND THE THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING VIOLENTLY. OTHER TRAFFIC MOVED AWAY FROM HER AS SHE WAS LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. SHE WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP SAFELY ON THE SHOULDER. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT GET THE ISSUE TO REOCCUR. THEY SENT IT OUT THE DOOR IN SAME CONDITION. ISSUE REOCCURRED MANY TIMES. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD IT ON VIDEO AND ONLY THEN WOULD WESLIE FORD TAKE IT IN AND DO WORK ON IT. SERVICE WRITER [XXX] SAID FORD DID NOT HAVE A REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE. SHE SAID THEY WOULD PUT SOME SHIMS IN TO HELP. IT DID A BIT. BUT STILL ACTUALLY BOUNCES SO BAD SOMETIMES THAT THE WHEELS LEAVE THE ROAD AND YOU LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING.. CALLED SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AT DEALER AND TOLD HIM WE ARE LUCKY THAT MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER DIDNT GET IN A ACCIDENT, HURT, OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THE TRUCK MALFUNCTION. HE SAID "UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES THATS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET SOMETHING DONE". REALLY? I WAS SHOCKED! PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH THIS AND ENSURE THAT WESLIE FORD, SERVICE WRITERS AND OTHERS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. PEOPLES LIVES ARE IN DANGER AND AT RISK. ALL I ASK IS THAT FORD STAND BEHIND VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS AND REPAIR THEM SO THAT PEOPLE ARE SAFE. THANK YOU INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION A

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR A CONDITION KNOWN AS THE SUPERDUTY DEATH WOBBLE WHERE THE TRUCK STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU HIT UNEVEN PAVEMENT DURING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE THEN TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED AND PERFORMED THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES WITH THE NEW PART AND SHAKING FAR WORSE THAN BEFORE. ATTACHED IS THE 2ND REPAIR WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES BOTH REPAIRS. I AM TRYING TO REACH FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH HELP FROM MY DEALER. ATTACHED IS THE REPAIR INVOICE FROM THE 2ND TIME IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED UNCONTROLLABLY UPON HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EIDE FORD LINCOLN (800 E BISMARCK EXPY, BISMARCK, ND 58504) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO BE REPAIRED. THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED, THE TIRES WERE ROTATED, BALANCED, AND ALIGNED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. RECENTLY, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN REFERRED TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED DEATH WOBBLE HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES.*JB

TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN, USING BUTTON ON TRUCK OR ON KEY POD.

I HAVE A 2017 F-250 WITH 24,000 MILES ON IT RECENTLY STARTED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS (60 OR BETTER) AND AFTER HITTING A "ROUGH PATCH" IN THE ROAD OR BRIDGE JOINTS. FORD SEEMS TO SAY IT'S BECAUSE SOME OF US AREN'T ALWAYS CARRYING +/- 1000 LBS OF CARGO. I WONDER IF THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE 800 LBS THEY TOOK OFF THE TARE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK WHEN THEY WENT TO THE ALUMINUM BODY IN 2017? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STARTED SHAKING WITHOUT WARNING WHICH FORCED THE TIRE TO BE RELEASED. THE CONTACT STATED HE REPLACED THE TIRE WITH A SPARE AND DROVE HOME. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE QUARTER PANEL WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALER (PINES FORD 8655 PINES BLVD, PEMBROKE PINES, FL 33024) WAS PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED THE CONTACT AN ALIGNMENT HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE 6 TIMES WITH THIS TRUCK, ALL BETWEEN 65-80 MPH. THE LAST TWO ON 6/12/2020 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MEANS MY TRUCK FRONT END SUSPENSION AND EYEING SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU LITERALLY CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL REDUCTIONS SPEED BELOW 30 MPH. MY TRUCK HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. TODAY WAS THE WORST SOO FAR. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED IN LA TRAFFIC TO 30 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE VERY SOON. HAD I VEERED LEFT, IT WOULD BE HAVE PUT INTO THE CENTER DIVIDE, RIGHT INTO A SEMI. THIS STARTED WHEN MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES. TODAY THE VEHICLE HAS 26K. RECALL THESE VEHICLES! *TR

I EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2017 FORD F-250. IT IS DANGEROUS AND ALARMING WHEN THIS DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS. ANY SMALL UNEVENNESS IN THE ROAD CAN CAUSE THE TIRES TO START WILDLY WOBBLING. NORMALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 70MPH AND STOPS ONCE SLOWED DOWN TO 40 MPH. VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. YOUR QUESTION BELOW ASK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST A FEW TIMES A WEEK ON IH35. IT IS NOT A SINGLE EVENT - IT HAPPENS OFTEN. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT MANY PEOPLE REFER TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY TRUCK. THIS OCCURS AFTER A SERIES OF UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR BUMPS AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH. THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND VIOLENTLY. TO DATE IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. *TR

EXPERIENCING DEATH WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMP OR BRIDGE IN ROAD AND HEARING A LOOSE CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH.

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY TRUCK WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF BARELY BEING ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST COME TO A STOP FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME I SIDE SWIPED A CONCRETE BARRIER AND TORE OFF MY RUNNING BOARD. MY FAMILY REFUSES TO TRAVEL IN THE TRUCK NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT PAVED ROAD AROUND 50 MPH I HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHACK REEL BAD AND THE FRONT END DID THE SAME. I STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND GOT ON THE BRAKES HARD AND REGAINED CONTROL AT ABOUT 40 MPH. IF I WAS TOWING MY BOAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED WE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. I HAVE A WITNESS TO THIS WHO WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ABOVE 40 MPH. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS 25,600 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH I WENT OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE RESULTING SHAKE/OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING CAUSED ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLOW FROM 70 TO 25 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND THOSE ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND OTHER THAN THIS INSTANCE, THE DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRUCK HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE NEW. I.E. THE TRUCK DOES NOT VIBRATE OR WANDER AND EVERYTHING SEEMS NORMAL. TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE HOW VIOLENT THE SHAKING WAS, MY WIFE SCREAMED THAT WE HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT! *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE AFTER BACKING UP. *TR

2017 F-250 DIESEL FORD TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT TRAVELING 55 MPH. HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND COME TO ALMOST COMPLETE STOP TO END SHAKING. LOCAL FORD DEALER UPDATED SOFTWARE AND SAID "TRY THAT, IT SHOULD BE FIXED." DID NOT FIX IT AND AFTER REPEAT OF INCIDENT, LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED TRACK BAR WAS WORN OUT AT 38K MILES. FORD DEALER SAID TRUCK WAS ABUSED AND THAT IS WHY PART WORE OUT. LOCAL MECHANIC ARGUED TRUCK WAS NOT ABUSED. I REPLACED TRACK BAR AT MY EXPENSE. FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY PARTS. JUDGING BY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES OF FORD TRUCKS MANUFACTURED DURING 2017 TIME PERIOD. *TR

THE TRUCK STEERING VIBRATE VERY BAD AND DID NOT TRACK STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK TRACK IN THE OTHER LANE AND CLOSE TO THE DITCH BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN.

WHEN HITTING A DIAGONAL UNEVEN SECTION OF PAVEMENT AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE FRONT TIRES AND STEERING START TO VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY CAUSING A LOSE OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW THE VEHICLE TO BELOW 30 MPH. VIDEO OF HE TRUCK DOING HIS IS ON MY YOUTUBE ACCOUNT. FORD HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE 4 TIMES, BUT IT HAS COME BACK AGAIN MAY 2020. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 55 MPH, WHEN I STRIKE A POT HOLE OR EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROADWAY, I EXPERIENCE THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HARD TO KEEP A HOLD OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO RESOLVE IT IS STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE LAST IT HAPPENED WAS 5/13/2020. I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROADWAY AND HIT A POT HOLE AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN. *TR

MY 2017 F-50 60,000 MILES, EXPERIENCES A SEVERE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING, NOTICEABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A SMALL BUMP OR SMALL DEFORMITY IN THE ROAD ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING ABOVE 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED ON SCHEDULE. HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH AND WITHOUT TOWING A TRAILER. THE WOBBLE BECOMES EXTREME TO THE POINT OF LOOSING CONTROL SUDDENLY DECELERATING CAUSES THE WOBBLE TO STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE. SPEED WAS ABOUT 75 AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 50 BEFORE IT WENT AWAY. HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WHILE SLOWING DOWN. FELT LIKE THE TIRE WAS COMING OFF. THERE WAS A DAMPENER REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. TOLD IT WAS A RECALL BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. *TR

2 ISSUES THE FIRST IS BUMP STEERING. IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP ON HIGHWAY WHILE STEERING LEFT IT WILL JUMP ACROSS THE LANE. ONLY DOES IT IN LEFT TURN IN HIGHWAY. THE OTHER IS THE DEATH WOBBLE. MINE DID IT WHEN I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS AT 20 MPH. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK OVER 63 MPH NOW . THE BUMP STEERING HAS BEEN SINCE NEW. THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AT 32000 IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS AS APPARENTLY IT IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE NEWER TRUCKS. FORD *TR

VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING 50+ MPH AND IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE DECELERATION UNTIL THE SHAKING SMOOTHES OUT ENOUGH TO SAFELY RESUME DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS POSES AN EXTREME RISK OF HAVING OR CAUSING A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER AND DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM ALMOST CRASHED WITH MY 10,400 CAMPER HOOKED TO THE BACK. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN IT ROAD JOINTS OR SLIGHTLY UNEVEN PAVEMENT. IT IS SO BAD CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 60MPH ON HIGHWAY 95 FROOM MASS TO MAINE AND BACK THE NEXT DAY. I EXPERIENCED A FRIGHTENING SHAKING OF TH ENTIRE FRONT END 6 TIMES. IT WOULD HAPPPEN AFTER I HIT A SMALLL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IN CAR FORUM I REALIZED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND CAN EASILY CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENT MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 13500 MILES ON IT.

TRACTION CONTROL BAR. ALLOWS THE TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. SEVERAL PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SAY IT STARTED ON THERE VEHICLE AT 30K TO 40K. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT THE INTERNET AND CUSTOMERS ARE. I AM AFRAID SOME WILL GET HURT BADLY BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN DO WHEN THIS IS GOING ON IS FIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT AND LET OF THE GAS IS U APPLY THE BRAKE IT WILL SHIMMER EVEN HARDER UNTIL U GET BACK UNDER 60 MPH. FORDS RESPONSE TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAS A 2016 F350 WAS THE VEHICLES WAS NOT MADE TO BE RAN UP AND DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THEY WHERE BUILT TO HAUL AND TOW LOADS. THERE WAS NO WARNING SAYING THESE VEHICLES WHERE NOT FOR EVERY DAY USAGE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT

VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE HAS PROBABLY CAUSED DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 70 MPH WHILE ENCOUNTERING A BUMP OR PATCH IN THE ROAD.

DEATH WOBBLE - SEVERE STEERING CONTROL ON FM 1409. OCCURRED APPROACHING 50MPH ON SMOOTH SURFACE AND DRY CONDITIONS. 4/10/20. TEST DROVE 4/11/20 ON FM 565 SOUTH AND FM 3180 WITH 3 LESSER STEERING CONTROL OCCURRENCES. ROAD CONDITIONS COMPARABLE AND SPEEDS WERE BETWEEN 50-55MPH. ALL OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON ROADS. LESSER OCCURRENCES WITH SAME R

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW IN 2017, NOW AFTER 30K MILES WHEN HITTING A POTHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BE DONE (ONLY A TSB). MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK HAS NOW REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER PER TSB 19-2392. HAVE NOT YET TESTED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO VERIFY THIS FIXED THE ISSUE (HOMEM QUARANTINE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS SHELTER IN PLACE.

I BELIEVE IT IS REFERED TO AS "THE DEATH WOBBLE" TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT ABOVE 60 MPH

2017 F250 6.2 GAS, TRUCK SHAKES BADLY AT 65-70MPH OF IF YOU HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT SPEED. LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID EVERYTHING IS OK EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE TRACK BAR END LINKS WERE LOOSE. THE TRUCK HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT NOW BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 30,000. THE TECH. LED ON THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BUT, THEY DID NOTHING BUT DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR 8 MILES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND IM AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE AND ACCIDENT.

AT 68 MPH TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION I HIT SOME UNEVEN PAVEMENT IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I HAD TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

WHEN GOING OVER A ROUGH BRIDGE ON INTERSTATE AT @ 70 MPH STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH ON BUSY INTERSTATE TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES THE SAME DAY.

SEVERE SHAKING OF FRONT END AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP WHILE DRIVING IN A 5 LANE CITY STREET AT APROX 60 MPH THAT PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. FORD CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ESTABLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 19-2274 SEE ATTACHED). THE INCIDENT REQUIRED ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE STEERING FROM SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY PULLING OVER. THE STEERING DAMPER ON THE VEHICLE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE.

UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING ON HIGHWAY GENERALLY WHEN HITTING A BRIDGE JOINT. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT AND IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME. KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE ONLINE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER. THE DEALERSHIP IS VILLAGE FORD IN DEARBORN MI.

TODAY, I EXPERIENCED A FUEL LEAK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THAT EMPTIED ABOUT 10+ GALLONS OF DIESEL FUEL ALL OVER THE TOP OF MY ENGINE AND ON THE ROADS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DROPPED OFF AT THE FORD DEALER (KOONS FORD, FALLS CHURCH VA) ON 6 MARCH 2020 FOR INVESTIGATION. TRUCK LEAKED FUEL OVER HOT ENGINE PARTS AND ALL OVER THE ROADS MAKING THE ROADS A DANGEROUS PLACE FOR OTHER DRIVERS.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD F250 THAT HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. AT HIGHWAY SPEED IF YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END/SUSPENSION WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO SLOW WAY DOWN AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP SHAKING. FORD ADDED A STEERING DAMPER AND I HAD TO PURCHASE TIRES TO SUPPOSEDLY CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. FORD DEALER ALSO STATED I NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL ALIGNMENT TO FURTHER CORRECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT IMMEDIATELY. IF THE TRUCK NEEDS AN ALIGNMENT TO DIFFERENT SPECIFICATIONS, FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND DO THE ALIGNMENT.

DEATH WOBBLE, EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER ON FREEWAY UNTIL REDUCED SPEED BELOW 50 MPH. PARTS REPLACED AT DEALER-NO RESOLUTION. 1 MONTH WAIT FOR MORE PARTS. UNSAFE.
