2018 Ford F-250 SD complaints

TRUCK DEVELOPS SERIOUS WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END/STEERING AND ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IS TO SLOW DOWN 15 MPH OR MORE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS AND I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING DAMPER WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE IS IN STOCK CONDITION, SAVE FOR THE REPLACEMENT STEERING DAMPER (WHICH I ASSUME IS OEM SINCE IT WAS DONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP) AND STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL ORIGINAL TIRES.

PROBLEM IS WHAT IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" WHERE YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING BECAUSE BOTH FRONT WHEELS ARE SHAKING VIOLENTLY, HITTING BRAKES MAKES IT WORSE, VEHICLE HAS TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY TO GET SHAKING TO STOP. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR BUMPS IN ROAD.I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 50 TO 70 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. MY TRUCK IS STOCK FROM DEALER WITH NO UPGRADES OR CHANGES. FORD HAS ONLY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER WHICH WENT BAD AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 4000 MILES. THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER TRUCK OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE OR OFFER A REAL FIX FOR THE ISSUE. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT IS CAUSING ADDITIONAL WEAR AND TEAR ON OTHER FRONT END STEERING CONTROL COMPONENTS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. IF ANY ADDITIONAL DETAIL OR INFORMATION IS NEEDED PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE SEVERAL WITNESSES WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPEND.

I HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AT 55 MPH ON A 2 LANE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS AND THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND BOUNCING VEERING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC PULLING LEFT TOWARDS A SEMI. I HIT THE BRAKES AND TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AS HARD AS I COULD ONLY TURNING RIGHT SLIGHTLY ENOUGH TO MISS THE TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE WHEELS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I DROVE AWAY CAUTIOUSLY AND YOU COULDN'T TELL ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED. CALLED DEALER HE SAID OH YEA DEATH WOBBLE. NICE TO KNOW THEY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT. AN OLDER OR WEAKER PERSON WOULD BE DEAD ALONG WITH ON COMING DRIVER/PASSENGERS. SCARED TO DRIVE MY $70K TRUCK!!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE RUNNING 68 MPH I CROSSED A STRAIGHT BRIDGE AND ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE VIBRATION/LOSS OF CONTROL COMING FROM MY FRONT SUSPENSION. AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BRIDGE THE VIBRATION WAS SO SEVERE AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED THE TRUCK TO 20MPH. I WAS FORCED TO USE BOTH LANES TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN WITHOUT WRECKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON CONDITION THAT SOME PEOPLE REFER TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. VEHICLE HAS 30K MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. SUSPENSION AND TIRES ARE 100% STOCK.

WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE LEFT THE TRUCK HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED OSCILLATING UP AND DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOSE ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD BARELY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY UNTIL I HAD SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP. I THEN PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND EXAMINED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY NOTHING WAS BROKE OR LOSE THAT I COULD FIND. THE INCIDENT WAS VERY UNNERVING AND I NOW AM VERY APPREHENSIVE AND DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE.

DEATH WOBBLE AT ABOUT 3000MILES AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON A CITY STREET , THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM , WHEN R U GOING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ? WHEN PEOPLE GET KILLED ! HOW MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE U DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT????

MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN HITTING A SMALL POT HOLE OR DRIVING ON A ROUGH PAVED ROAD VEHICLE WENT INTO WHAT IS CALLED A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. TOOK VEHICLE I. AND FRONT END WORK WAS REPORTEDLY DONE AT DEALERSHIP. GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND IT WENT INTO A 'DEATH WOBBLE' AGAIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 60 MPH DURING EACH OCCURRENCE THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE SHOOK SO SEVERE THAT IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLE.

STARTING AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES MY F250 PLATINUM SUPER DUTY STARTED DOING AN EXTREME 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. DEALER SAID IT WAS A STEERING STABILIZER. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THEY TRIED TO STATE IT WAS THE LANE ASSIST WHICH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF SINCE WE GOT THE TRUCK. NOW AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS WITH THIS PROBLEM EVEN WHEN WE ARE DOING 30-50 ON NORMAL STREETS AND HIT AND BUMP THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS IS NOW NEEDING TO RETURN TO DEALER AGAIN TO SEE WHAT ELSE THEY SAY IS THE ISSUE

I ONLY HAVE 9500 MILES ON MY F250 AND HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE TWICE AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. HOW LONG BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. MAKE FORD RECALL THE DARN THINGS! WAS DOING 70MPH AND ALMOST HAD A WRECK.

MY 2018 F250 HAS HAD A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK HITS ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END SHAKES SO BAD YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND PULL OF THE ROAD TO GET IT TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL IN LOW GEAR, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EVERGREEN FORD (1500 18TH AVENUE NORTH WEST, ISSAQUAH, WASHINGTON, (425)-392-6900) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO WARM UP THE VEHICLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT ALL GASOLINE ENGINES WERE DESIGNED TO BE WARMED UP BEFORE ENGAGING IN LOW GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 527. *DT THE CONSUMER WANTS ANOTHER COPY OF THIS EVOQ TO EDIT THE DOCUMENT. *TR

BEFORE THE V8 GASOLINE ENGINE REACHES SOME PRESCRIBED OPERATING TEMPERATURE ( BEFORE THE ENGINE IS FULLY WARMED UP ), WHEN HEADED DOWNHILL, NO LOW GEARS FUNCTION IN ANY MODE AND THE ENGINE EXPERIENCES SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2018. THE FORD COMPANY HAS REPEATEDLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECTS, AND HOWEVER CLAIMS THAT ALL 2018 GASOLINE POWERED F250S ARE DESIGNED THAT WAY TO MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS AND THEREFORE EVERYTHING IS FINE DESPITE BEING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH I ENCOUNTERED A POT-HOLE AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY! I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AND CROSSED THREE LANES BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE BARRIER IN THE MEDIAN. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO WEST POINT FORD, IN WEST POINT VA, AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THEM. THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME A FEW DAYS LATER CLAIMING THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD A SECOND INCIDENT WHEN I STRUCK A PATCH OF ASPHALT USED TO REPAIR A POTHOLE, AND AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO WEST POINT FORD WHERE IT STAYED FOR OVER A WEEK. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE MADE A REPAIR TO THE STEERING DAMPENER AND TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I HAD A THIRD INCIDENT YESTERDAY EVENING. I WILL BE RETURNING THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER ONCE AGAIN.

HIT VERY SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND WENT INTO AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHAKING AND OFF-BALANCE FEELING PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE WENT DOWN THE ROAD AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 AND 70 MPH

EXCESSIVE WHEEL HOP WHEN DRIVING 55 MPH

I HAVE A 2018 F250 4WD UNDER 25K MILES. TWICE LAST WEEK THE TRUCK SHOOK SO HARD AT (70 MPH) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO SPLIT IN HALF. THE TRUCK CAME TO AN ABRUPT HALT IN THE FREEWAY LAND AND NEARLY CAUSED TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE WEBSTER, TX POLICE WHO HELPED ME OFF THE FREEWAY WARNED ME NOT TO BELIEVE THE FORD DEALERSHIP IF FORD BLAMES THIS ON MY TIRES OR STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY SAID THERE WASN'T A PERMANENT FIX BUT NOW ARE CLAIMING OTHERWISE YET CAN'T BACK UP THE REPAIRS WITH CONCRETE EVIDENCE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD CLAIMS DUE TO LEMON LAWS IN TX THEY CAN'T BUY IT BACK. TWO DAYS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE TOLL RD GOING 70 MPH. FORD HAS NOW SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AT LENGTH AND CAN HONESTLY SAY NOT ONE THING I HAVE SEEN GUARANTEES A NEW STEERING DAMPER WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I POSED THE QUESTION TO FORD TODAY: SINCE FORD HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT (ALTHOUGH THEY WON'T REFER TO IT AS A DEFECT) AND I KILL MYSELF OR AN INNOCENT DRIVER WHO IS LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE? FORD REFERRED ME TO THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR AN ANSWER. I DID TALK TO THE LAW FIRM WHO FILED THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. I PLAN TO GO TO THE MEDIA WITH MY STORY, I WILL ALSO FILE ON THE WEBSITE LISTED ABOVE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR FORD TO FLAT IGNORE THIS MAJOR DEFECT! I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ARE KNOWN DOCUMENTED CASES JUST LIKE MY THAT FORD IS O

MY TRUCK EXPERIENCES THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 65-70MPH WHEN I CROSS OVER SLIGHT BUMPS. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 45MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE AT APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH AND I EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' (A VIOLENT VIBRATION WITH THE SUSPENSION THAT'S OUT OF CONTROL). THIS INCIDENT NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASH AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH AND HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY. THE PICKUP STARTED SHAKING AND IT TOOK ME ON TO THE SHOULDER UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL. IT DIDN'T STOP SHAKING UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 20MPH.

DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED STABILIZER, AND CHANGED CASTER. FIRST TIME OCCURRED AROUND 33000 MILES. THIS HAPPENED AGIAN AT HIGHWAY SPEED 70MPH AT 50500 MILES ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAY WHILE CROSSING BRIDGE. WAS FORCED TO RAPIDLY SLOW DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND EXIT HIGHWAY. WOBBLE DID NOT GO AWAY UNTIL AROUND 25-30 MPH.

VEHICLE WAS ALREADY "FIXED" FOR WHAT IS TERMED "DEATH WOBBLE" LAST YEAR. WHILE DRIVING LAST NIGHT, WE EXPERIENCED THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ONCE ON A TOWNSHIP ROAD GOING 45 AND ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 65. BOTH INVOLVED UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE SUSPENSION AND INABILITY TO HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. THIS HAPPENED, AS BEFORE, WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE INCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSED THE NEED TO SLOW DOWN FROM 65 TO 20 MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VIEHICLE AND STOP THE SHAKING (DEATH WOBBLE).

AFTER I HIT A BUMP GOING ABOUT 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 10 IN PHOENIX, AZ THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. I JUST HAD IT FIXED 11MAR19 AT 39719, CURRENTLY HAVE 56,899.

AT APPROX 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A PAVED ROAD, THE STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I AGGRESSIVELY BRAKED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP AS I SLOWED TO UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR.

WHILE DRIVING, A BUMP TO THE SUSPENSION CAUSES THE SUSPENSION/ TO BOUNCE OR DEATH WOBBLE (AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE JEEP WORLD). THIS HAS OCCURRED/ MULTIPLE TIMES AT SPEEDS FROM 45-70MPH. SEVERAL TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAVE CAUSED THE TRUCK TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS. THE MOST CURRENT EVENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY (9-25-2019) AND REQUIRED ME TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO UNDER 10MPH TO RECOVER. THE SHAKING WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH TO OPEN THE GLOVE BOX. I HAVE HAD 5 OF THESE OCCURRENCE SO FAR IN OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW 14 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OEM INCLUDING WHEELS AND TIRES. NOTHING HAS BEEN ADDED. I CANT USE THE VEHICLE AS INTENDED (TOWING) AS I'M CONCERNED OF LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALDEMAN FORD (607 NJ-33, TRENTON, NJ 08619, (800) 939-6659) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAWRENCEVILLE FORD LINCOLN (2920 US-1, LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, NJ 08648, (609) 882-2900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER, ALIGNMENT, HUB, AND GLOBE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO ANOTHER DEALER EQUIPPED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBERS: CAS24344877 AND CAS24319119. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,300.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING AND EXTREME VIBRATION RESONATING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING COMPONENTS OF MY FORD F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. I UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND FOR VERY GOOD REASON. I HAVE 37 YEARS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS ISSUE LEFT UNCHECKED WILL BE THE ROOT CAUSE MANY TRAFFIC DEATHS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. IT'S OCCURRED FIVE TIMES WITH ME TO DATE WITHIN 18 MONTHS ALL FIVE CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, AND THE LAST TWO CAUSING ME TO CROSS CENTER DIVIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I NARROWLY AVOIDED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH AN 18 WHEELER IN ONE OF THOSE INCIDENTS. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY DEALERSHIPS AND INDEPENDENT SHOPS. I'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS AND PARTS. FORD NEEDS TO OFFER A SOLUTION NOW BEFORE ANY ELSE IS PUT IN HARMS WAY.. OR DIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR POTHOLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAWGRASS FORD (14501 W SUNRISE BLVD, SUNRISE, FL 33323, (954) 851-9000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2018 F250 16,000MI STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AFTER HITTING A BUMPY PATCH ON THE ROAD. 12/12/18 DEALERSHIP REPLACED TRACK BAR ,STEERING DAMPENER, PROBLEM CONTINUED 2/7/19 DEALERSHIP INSTALLED ADJUSTMENT BUSHING ON BOTH SIDES PER TSB 18-2268. 4/4/18 PROBLEMS RETURNED DEALERSHIP LOOKED A THE TRUCK AGAIN SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY FAMILY IS NOT ALLOWED TO RIDE ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I STARTED HAVING VIOLENT SHAKING THAT RESULTED IN IT BEING HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT I HAD A BLOW OUT AND QUICKLY PULLED OFF THE ROAD. AFTER CHECKING ALL TIRES AND SEEING THAT THEY WERE OK I RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT EVENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 70-72 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE ONCE AGAIN CAUSING ME TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL. I QUICKLY DECELERATED TO AROUND 35 MPH AND GAINED CONTROL JUST BEFORE HITTING THE CEMENT RETAINING WALL THAT SEPARATED NORTH/SOUTH TRAFFIC. I DROVE IT HOME AT 35-40 MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY GAVE ME AN APPT TIME TO BRING IT IN. I TOOK IT IN AND LEFT IT WITH THEM AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. I LEFT THE TRUCK WITH THEM AND THEY DROVE IT AND TOLD ME LATER THAT AFTERNOON THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE IT HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I EXPERIENCED THE SAME VIOLENT SHAKING AS MENTIONED ABOVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND TOLD THEM I WAS BRINGING IT BACK. THEY DROVE THE TRUCK AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AND INFORMED ME THEY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHAKING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL FORD ENGINEERS AND GET A RECOMMENDED FIX. I LEFT THE TRUCK WITH THEM A WEEK, THEY INSTALLED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. ALSO THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY FRONT TIRES WE

FORD F250 DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY FOR NO REASON AND YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP VIOLENT SHAKING.HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T67905_DS972988 HTTPS://WWW.CLASSACTION.ORG/NEWS/FORD-HIT-WITH-DEATH-WOBBLE-CLASS-ACTION-OVER-ALLEGED-SUSPENSION-STEERING-DEFECTS-IN-F-250-F-350-MODELS. MOST RECENT OCCURANCE A WEEK AGO 50MPH HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE SCARED GRANDSON REAL BAD. ME TOO

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THERE WERE NO WANING SIGNS, LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE CAB WAS MELTED TO THE FRAME IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES.

THERE IS AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN HITTING A BUMP. IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. IT SHAKES SO BAD THAT THERE IS FEAR IT WILL VEER INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST SEND ME OFF THE ROAD. IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM NOW 5 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME ITS FIXED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IS COMES BACK AGAIN AND WORSE. I WILL BE PUTTING THE DATE OF THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. IT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY IN MY 2018 FORD F250 I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 70MPH. I CROSSED A BRIDGE WHERE IT HAD A DIP AND MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END CONTINUOUSLY SHOOK UNTIL I SLOWED TO 30MPH. IF I WAS IN A TURN I WOULD HAVE WRECKED! THIS WAS BAD AND AFTER SOME GOOGLE RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMONALITY WITH THE F250 DIESEL TRUCKS. FORD NEEDS TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ONE! THIS IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY GET SOMEONE KILLED.

TRUCK IS A 2018 FORD F250 AND IS LEAKING OIL AT 28,000 MILES FROM THE UPPER OIL PAN FAULTY ROBOTIC SEAL. THIS HAS COATED MY TRUCKS UNDERSIDE IN OIL AND HAS BEEN SLOWLY LEAKING FOR SOME TIME NOW AS I JUST NOTICED YESTERDAY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE IN THIS TRUCK.

EXPERIENCEING THE TERRIBLE DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YA HIT A BUMP LIKE AN EXPANSION JOINT I GET THAT TERRIBLE WOBBLE.HAD THE STABLIZER BAR REPLACED, TIRES ROTATED AND REBALANCED. A BIT SCARY WHEN YA PULLING A TRAILER. ON A LOCAL COUNTY ROAD IT HAPPENS TWICE A DAY EVERYDAY, IT'S MY WORK/DAILY DRIVER TRUCK.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL STEERING AND WAS TAKEN LEFT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO THE MEDIAN ON A HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK WOBBLES AND SHAKES SO BAD I WAS UNABLE TO REDUCE SPEED VERY QUICKLY.

THE TAILGATE IS COMING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ALL BY ITS SELF. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN CRUSHED BY A TRAILER THAT WAS BEING PULLED AND FORD WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT

DEATH SHIMMY IN STEERING, HIT AN BRIDGE EXPANTION JOINT AND STEERING STARTS WOBBELING, HAVE TO PULL TO A COMPLETS STOP TO GET IT TO GO AWAY, HAPPENS ON VARIOUS BUMPS AND EXPANTION JOINTS ALSO,IN MOTION

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WHICH FORD NEEDS TO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE. WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR BRIDGE TRANSITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALSO KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR ON A 75 MILE HOUR ROAD. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR KILL SOMEBODY. MY TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR WITH UNDER 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS FLAW WITH THE 2017 & 2018 FORD F250 TRUCKS. I SEE THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND IT IS SAD THAT THAT A MANDATE IS NOT BEING ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION.

WHILE ON VACATION TOWING MY 31' 10,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER AT 60 MPH HEADING NORTH ON HWY 89 ARIZONA IN EARLY MAY 2019 I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SCARY WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE VEHICLE IN WHICH I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AND SLOW DOWN TO 33 MPH TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. WE WERE HALF WAY THROUGH OUR TRIP SO I KEPT THE SPEED AT 55 MPH OR LOWER TO GET HOME. I SINCE THEN RESEARCHED AND FOUND A FORD TSB CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR A POSSIBLE REPAIR YET AS WE ONLY USE IT TO TOW WITH.

TSB # 18-2268 AT 60 MPH ON A SMOOTH FLAT HIGHWAY AND AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ONTO IT. ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO UNDER 30 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED. BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC I WAS NOT ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GOING FROM 60 MPH TO 30 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE (FAST LANE) WAS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEARING DOWN ON ME BLOWING MADLY AS HE TRIED TO SLOW HIS TRUCK DOWN FROM REAR ENDING ME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT ON 06/04/2019 @ CIOCCA FORD IN QUAKERTOWN

WHILE PUTTING MY F250 IN GEAR (DRIVE), THE TRUCK TAILGATE WAS AUTOMATICALLY OPENED, WHICH THEN CRUNCHED INTO MY GOOSE NECK TRAILER WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE TAIL GATE HAS OPENED 3 TIME, WITHOUT USER INTERVENTION, IN THE FIRST 6 WEEKS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

ON 4/19/19 I MISFUELED MY DIESEL VEHICLE. I STOPPED THE PROCESS IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED FORD FROM THE FILLING STATION. THE FORD SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT I SHOULD AVOID TURNING THE ENGINE ON, OR EVEN PLACING THE ENGINE IN ACCESSORY MODE BECAUSE IT WOULD ENGAGE THE FUEL PUMP AND FLOOD THE SYSTEM WITH GASOLINE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT I COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO BE WINCHED ONTO THE FLATBED TOW TRUCK WITHOUT TURNING ON THE ACCESSORY MODE. I CALLED FORD FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. FORD RECOMMENDED THAT I DISCONNECT A CABLE BENEATH THE TRUCK THAT WOULD DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AND ALLOW THE TRUCK TO MOVE. BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS, I HAD TO TURN ON THE ACCESSORY TO GET THE TRUCK OUT OF PARK FOR TOWING. THIS CAUSED ABOUT $12,000 IN DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. MORE TO THE POINT OF THIS COMPLAINT, I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT IN THE MANUAL FOR MY TRUCK. FURTHER, THE PROCEDURE THAT IS IN THE MANUAL WAS NOT MENTIONED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE FORD MANUAL CONTAINS A PROCEDURE THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TRUCK. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT FORD IS RECOMMENDING A PROCEDURE THAT IS INHERENTLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE PROCEDURE IN THE MANUAL.

WHILE DRIVING HWY. 84 FROM LUBBOCK, TX HIT WASHBOARD RUTS IN SPAN OF 5 MILES. HAD 3 EPISODES OF TRUCK VIOLENT SHAKING OR DEATH WOBBLE , ALMOST LOOSING CONTROL IN TRAFFIC. 22,000 MILES ON TRUCK ALL HIGHWAY MILES. TOOK IN FOR WARRANTY WORK. RIGHT FRONT END REPLACEMENT. DRIVING 75 MPH HAD TO DROP DOWN TO 20 TO GAIN CONTROL. WARY OF ANOTHER EPISODE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX PROBLEM. THESE TRUCKS TO EXPENSIVE FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING.

WHEN GOING 70 OR ABOVE AND U HIT A BUMP OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK DOES WHAT THEY CALL THE DEATH WOBBLE VERY SCARY AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF THIS DOES NOT GET TAKEN CARE OF THE TRUCK NEARLY LOSES CONTROL IT'S SO BAD

AT 17,000 MILES THE TRUCK STARTED GOING INTO WHAT EVERYONE CALLS A "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN AT HIGH SPEED AND/OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE HERE AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT AND THEIR FIX IS ONLY A PATCH THAT DELAYS THE PROBLEM TO A LATER DATE.

WHILE DRIVING , FRONT END HAS A WOBBLE , OR LOOSENESS THAT MAKES IT KINDA SCARY TO DRIVE. AFRAID I'M GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 60 AND 75 MPH THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATES BACK AND FORTH OUT OF CONTROL. THE MIRRORS RATTLE AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BOUNCES. THIS WILL OCCUR AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OF INTERSTATE OR WHEN BRAKING TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK MUST BE SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDES AND NORMAL DRIVING CAN OCCUR. A CONTINUING PROBLEM. WHEN I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR WARRANTY I AM SIMPLY TOLD "THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM"

THIS VEHICLE SUFFERS VIOLENT SHAKING AND SHUTTERING WHEN HITTING ROUGH PATCHES IN THE ROAD. THIS OCCURS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT I HAVE SEEN IT AT 45 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS OCCURS AT 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY INTERSTATE. THE SHAKING REQUIRES IMMMEDIATE SLOWDOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON ALL THE NEW FORD F-250 TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH THESE BIG TRUCKS. I CAN SPOT ONE FROM A MILE AWAY BECAUSE I'M SUDDENLY BLINDED BY THE FOUR SUPER BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS AND THEN SOME IDIOT HAVE THERE FOG LIGHTS ON ALSO. I HAVE NEARLY RAN OFF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MEETING THESE TRUCKS ONCOMING. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE FORD FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?
