2019 Ford F-250 SD complaints

VEHICLE HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN I HID SMALL POT HOLES IN THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELLING AT AROUND 70-75 MPH. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. TODAY IT WAS SO SEVERE I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR, BRACED BOTH FEET AND IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. UNTIL I GOT IT TO STOP.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 70MPH THE VEHICLE HIT A SMALL BUMP WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO START TO RATTLE VIOLENTLY . THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RATTLE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL IT WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. PREVIOUS TO THIS SCARY EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE SOME CONTROL AND FEEL WHEN SMALL BUMPS WOULD BOUNCE THE SUSPENSION.

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. SLOWED DOWN TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT ANY VIBRATION.

THIRD INCIDENT OF VIOLENT SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60-70 MPH. ALL THREE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER GOING OVER RELATIVELY SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD, PERHAPS 2-3 BUMPS, ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING 2 OF THOSE INCIDENCES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DURING THE MOST RECENT ONE YESTERDAY (3/11/2021) WHILE I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE NO LONGER WANTS TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND DOES NOT WANT ME DRIVING IT EITHER. I HAVE ALSO HAD A HANDFUL OF SITUATIONS WHERE IT WILL BEGIN JUST SLIGHTLY AND I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. HOWEVER, IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE BUMPS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WITH ALMOST 100% PREDICTABILITY. I AM A PRIOR FEDERAL AGENT AND HAVE BEEN TRAINED FOR TACTICAL DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WITH THAT SAID, THE SHAKING AND LOSS OF CONTROL EXPERIENCED ON A ROUGHLY $75K VEHICLE THAT IS AROUND A YEAR OLD IS NOT ONLY RIDICULOUS FROM A PRODUCT STAND POINT, BUT ALSO, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN TERMS OF PASSENGER SAFETY. OUR CHILDREN WERE WITH US ON 2 OF THESE OCCASIONS. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE RATTLING, OR SHAKING. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN AND IT IS A VIOLENT WOBBLING OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK, NOT JUST THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION AND IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AND ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. IN ONE INCIDENT THE DRIVER OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TO MY LEFT WAS GLANCING OVER AT ME AS I SLOWED DOWN DURING THE VIOLENT SHAKIN

19000+ MILES. SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS. AT HIGHWAY SPEED TRUCK FRONT END SHOOK VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE OVERPASS. 'DEATH WOBBLE'. ALMOST LOST CONTROL. WAS HAULING A TRAILER. ALMOST CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT. HAD IT BEEN A WINTERY DAY WOULD HAVE EASILY GONE OFF ROAD. WILL TAKE TO DEALER, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PROVEN NOT TO FIX ANYTHING. IT WILL JUST POSTPONE IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN LATER.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE , SUSPENSION. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM NO RESULTS

WITH 21,000 MILES ON TRUCK I EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATIONS AFTER HITTING AN EXPANSION GAP JOINT ON HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED AND REPLACED STEERING DAMPENER. NOW WITH 32,000 MILES ON TRUCK SAME EXACT ISSUE AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN ROAD AND EXPANSION GAPS ON ROAD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECH ORDERED ANOTHER STEERING DAMPENER ON BACK ORDER. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ASE CERTIFIED AND HE INFORMED ME THERE WAS SOME PLAY AT THE DRAG LINK WHERE THE PITMAN ARM MEETS THE KNUCKLE. FORD NOW HAS MY TRUCK AGAIN AND I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE OSCILLATIONS. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 34,650 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL IS NOT FIXED.

TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE A DEATH WOBBKE AT ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I HIT A OVER PASS JOINT IN THE ROAD OR ANY SLIGHT BUMP WHILE DRIVING FORD HAS REPLACE THE DAMPNER 4 TIMES NOW BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK AND NOW IT CAN BE FELT IN THE BREAKING OF THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPING TO ABRUPTLY!

JUST BOUGHT TRUCK LAST FRIDAY AND DROVE YESTERDAY (3/3/21) FOR THIRD TIME AND ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 60-65MPH AND STARTED TO CROSS A BRIDGE THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I MEAN WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING ANDI DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED..I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET TO OUTSIDE LANE AND PULL OFF ROAD.. LOOKED AROUND TRUCK SAW NOTHING OUT OF ORDINARY AND CONTINUED TO DEALER TO GET THE 2 NEW TIRES PUT ON THAT WERE ORDERED AND WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED THEY SAID OH NO ES WE KNOW HOW TO FIX JUST GET A NEW STEERING DAMPER AND THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER FROM FORD AND HAVE BEEN AND MAY NOT BE IN UNTIL END OF MONTH..AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY SAID IT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL FIXED AND IF NEED TO DRIVE DON'T GO OVER ABOUT 40-45 MPH..I WAS FRANTIC AND SCARED THANK GOD NO CARS AROUND ME..

THE STEERING OF MY VEHICLE WENT INTO A VILOENT SHAKE THAT REQUIRED ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES WHILE DOING 65 MPH. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION.

UNSTABLE DRIVING AT 50 MPH AFTER SMALL ROAD UNEVENNESS. (DEATH WOBBLE) ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 52 IN PUERTO RICO. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PROVIDED WITH A FIX BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST INCREASINGLY. ALSO, COMPUTER CODE P2074 FOR A 2019 UNIT. OIL LEAKING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE UPPER CRANKCASE. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER ON MARCH 08, 2021. DEALER INFORMED, UPFRONT, THAT THERE IS NO PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THE SO CALL DEATH WOBBLE UNLESS FORD ISSUES A RE-CALL AND PROVIDES IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING VEHICLE HARD TO HOLD IN THE ROAD. I HAD TO TRY TO GET OVER INTO SLOW LANE TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN SO IT WOULD STOP SHAKING. I GUESS THIS IS KNOWN AS THE FORD DEATH WALK.

DEATH WOBBLE ON L-10

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70MPH HIT A SMALL BUMP. STEERING STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. DEATH WOBBLE. LUCKILY LOW TRAFFIC. ATTEMPTED TO STEER TO THE SHOULDER WHILE REDUCING SPEED. AT AROUND 35MPH THE SHAKING REDUCED AND STOPPED.

FROM THE TIME IT WAS BRAND NEW ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU BRAKE TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP, I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AND VOICED MY CONCERN AND THEY SAID FORD WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD INSTALL AN UPGRADED STEERING STABILIZER. I NOW HAVE 16,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AND WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP I AM TOLD THERE ARE NO REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE.

EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, REFERRED TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HAVE TAKEN THIS TO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND ON THE 4 VISIT I WAS TOLD THAT THE "STEERING STABILIZER" WAS BAD. THEY INSTALLED A NEW STABILIZER AND I ASSUMED IT TO BE FIXED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 40 AT APROX. 75 MPH AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE PROPOSED FIX WAS DONE. IN DECEMBER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 20N04 STATING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON STEERING LINKAGE "ONE-TIME REPAIR PROGRAM". THE LAST TIME I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE NEW STABILIZER HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND THERE WAS NO MORE THAT KNEW TO DO. PART WAS REPLACED AND IT IS NOT FIXED!!

IT IS KNOWN ON THE INTERNET AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 70 MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS ON I-185, THE TRUCK HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD COMING OFF A BRIDGE. THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL I PULLED OVER. I HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE AS I WAS BEING TOSSED ABOUT AND HAD DIFFICULTY EVEN HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 10 MILES LATER. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED INCLUDED FRONT END ALIGNMENTS, BRAKES AND TIRE ROTATIONS.

THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP GOING AROUND 60MPH. HAPPENED 3 TIMES. FORD HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT BUT IT HAS NOT WORKED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED TO AROUND 15MPH.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY , TAILGATE OPENED ON ITS OWN AND TAILGATE FELL OFF

PURCHASED NEW, AT 9,000 MILES WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, CAUSING TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO RAPIDLY DECREASE SPEED AND PULL INTO GRASS MEDIAN AS TO NOT GET STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. FORD SERVICE REPLACED FACTORY STEERING DAMPER WITH ANOTHER OEM FACTORY STEERING DAMPER UNDER WARRANTY AND ALIGNED THE VEHICLE. NOW AT 21000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, ON (8) SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD, WHILE TRAVELING OVER 55MPH THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IS TO REDUCE SPEED AND STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE FACTORY OEM STEERING PARTS, BUT HAS NOT YET PROVIDED GUIDANCE ON A PERMANENT FIX. THIS ISSUE WITH FAULTY OEM PARTS WILL SOON CAUSE THE LOSS OF LIVES IF A REMEDY IS NOT FOUND. I HAVE A BRAND NEW TRUCK I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE OR ALLOW MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEELS ACTING LIKE THEY WERE GOING FALL OFF AND LOST ALL STEERING CONTROL, VERY SCARY STOPPED AND EVERY THING STOPPED AND THE VEHICLE STARTING WORKING PROPERLY DRIVING ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED PULLING A TRAILER

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON 1 285 IN ATLANTA I WAS ROUNDING A SLIGHT LEFT HAND CORNER HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST HIT 2 OTHER CARS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND THE TRUCK WAS CHANGING LANES ON ITS OWN. THE SHAKING SUBSIDED AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 30 DAYS AND THE MOST VIOLENT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP THIS AM.

ON NO LESS THAN 10 OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS REFERRED TO FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS " STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION", ALSO KNOW AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SERVICED AROUND 16K MILES UNDER WARRANTY WHERE THE STEERING STABILIZER OR STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED. AT 38K MILES I HAD THE SAME VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THE SAME FORD DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS TOLD THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 25 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITHOUT ANY REPAIRS OR RECOMMENDATIONS MADE. THE DATE WAS 1/28/21 IN SERVICE AND 2/2/21 IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES WITH 1 "DEATH WOBBLE" EVENT. THESE EVENTS ARE HAPPENING AROUND 70 MPH AND HAS ON SEVERAL EVENTS LED TO ME HAVING MINIMAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 45 MPH WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE POINT WHERE THE WOBBLE STOPS. THE DANGERS INVOLVED WERE/ARE THE SUDDEN ONSET OF THE WOBBLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT OUT OF ITS' LANE AND INTO THOSE LANES SURROUNDING IT. ALSO OF DANGER IS THE SUDDEN SLOWING DOWN OF THE VEHICLE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CAUSING THOSE BEHIND ME TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TO AVOID HITTING ME IN THE REAREND OF THE TRUCK OR THE TRAILER BEING TOWED.

DEATH WOBBLE AT 75MPH F250 KING RANCH LESS THAN 30,000 MI

WHILE DRIVING AT REGULATED HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL DEVELOP A VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHEN ANY "NORMAL" ROADWAY BUMP OR HOLE IS STRUCK. THE TRUCK LUNGES VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL. RAPID DECELERATION IS REQUIRED BY REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR & GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED MUST BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN AN ESTIMATED 20MPH AND SOMETIMES STOPPED BEFORE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPS. INTERSTATE TRAVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE AS MOST ROADWAY IMPERFECTIONS CAN CAUSE THIS VIOLENT SHAKING WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION AND MERELY REPLACED A FRONT STEERING STABILIZER WHICH ONLY REDUCED THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. FORD TECHNICIANS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AND ONLY CITE THAT THEY WILL ONCE AGAIN REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS ARE SEEING SERIOUS PREMATURE WEAR/DAMAGE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE FATALITIES...AND MOST LIKELY HAS IF PROPERLY INVESTIGATED DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS APTLY NAMED "DEATH WOBBLE" THIS PROBLEM HAS NOW CONTINUALLY OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS ON A NEW F250 WHICH HAS 18,XXX MILES. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH ONLY 13,XXX MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND SENDS CUSTOMERS BACK ONTO ROADS WITH A VEHICLE WHICH IS UNCONTROLLABLE IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS... AND WILL RESULT IN LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2020 & CONTINUES TO DATE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT A SPEED OF 50MP

ON 10/6/2020 THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE AS THE EMPLOYEE WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FRONT FENDER AREA AND LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE, ON 01/24/2021 THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE AS THE EMPLOYEE WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FENDER, RUNNING BOARD, AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE

2019 FORD F250 SHAKES VIOLENTLY SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING. HITTING BUMP ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED, OR EVEN LOW SPEEDS ON STREET MAKES IT DIFFICULTY TO STEER, AND DANGEROUS CLOSE CALLS. FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. HAVE CALLED FORD, AND AFTER BEING ON HOLD, OR TRANSFERRED SEVERAL TIMES, DISCONNECTED. NO CALL BACK RETURNED.

WHILE USING MY VEHICLE TO PLOW, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SUDDENLY WENT BLANK, I COULD SYNC MY PHONE, THE CLOCK AND DATE NOW APPEARED WITH WITH DIFFERENT DATE/TIME. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT I HAVE TO INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE PLOW PACKAGE OPTION WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. I ASKED WHY THIS COST SHOWED BE PAID BY ME, I WAS TOLD TO EXPLORE A BATTERY REBATE.

REAR & FRONT CAMERAS ARE VERY CLOUDY CAN'T SEE WHAT'S BEHIND ME , CAN'T EVEN SEE A TRAILER TONGUE. VERY SMOKEY

WHEN AT SPEEDS OVER 55 AND HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. HAPPENS WORSE WHEN TOWING A TRAILER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCE THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN I DROVE OVER A SMALL BUMP, WHICH CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2019 FORD F250. I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS BEING CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON A RECENT TRIP WITH MY TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 78 MPH , I HIT A RAISED SECTION OF A CULVERT CROSSING WHICH CAUSED MY STEERING TO BECOME UNSTABLE. THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL MADE THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL AND CAUSED US TO HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND CABLE BARRIER. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, AND THE BARRIER RUNS ABOUT 3 FEET FROM THE ROADWAY. I HAVE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE GOING DOWN A ROAD AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY I HAD A REAL HARD TIME MAINTAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SO BAD THERE WAS CARS BEHIND ME AND ALL I COULD DO WAS SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A NEW VEHICLE COULD HAVE SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM MY TRUCK IS A 2019 F250 WITH 17,000 MILES NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN, WHAT IF MY KIDS WERE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND THIS CAUSED US TO BE IN A ACCIDENT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, I CALLED FORD AND MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT IN THREE WEEKS... SO WHAT I'M THE MEAN TIME AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND PRAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING (WOBBLE) UNCONTROLLABLY. IT ONLY RESOLVES WHEN SLOWED BELOW 20 MPH.

ON 01-09-21, TRAVELING NORTH ON I -75 IN KENTUCKY AT APPROXIMATELY 75-80 MPH. TRAVELED OVER A SECTION OF ROAD THAT WAS ROUGH AND UNEVEN. VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, CAUSING UNCONTROLLED TRAVEL INTO THE LEFT HIGH SPEED LANE. ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND HAD TO ENTER THE EMERGENCY LANE AND STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. HAD TO EXIT VEHICLE AND CHECK FOR POSSIBLE CAUSE AND NONE FOUND. CONTINUED NORTH ON I-75 FOR SEVERAL MILES AND AGAIN TRAVELED OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND HAD TO ENTER THE RIGHT SIDE EMERGENCY LANE AND SLOW VEHICLE TO A STOP BEFORE CONTROL WAS GAINED.

AT ANY SPEED OVER 50 MPH THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVEN OVER ANY SMALL BUMP OR SEAM IN THE ROAD. THIS IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I ONLY DRIVE IN THE CITY OR THE HIGHWAY AND DO NOT DRIVE IT OFF ROAD. I ONLY HAVE 12500 MILES ON THIS TRUCK

THE FRONT SUSPENSION SHAKES VIOLENTLY SIDE TO SIDE WHEN IT HITS A BUMP OFF CAMBER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EXAMPLES ARE EXPANSION JOINTS, BRIDGES AND OVERPASS AREAS, CONSTRUCTION ZONES.. THE VEHICLE BECOMES TEMPORARILY UNCONTROLLABLE. VEHICLE HAS 13,000 MILES. BASICALLY STILL NEW. VERY DANGEROUS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WENT OVER A HIGHWAY EXPANSION JOINT AND STEERING STARTED SHAKING BADLY IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER UNTIL SLOWING TO 30 MPH. THIS IS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" DESCRIBED BY SO MANY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 FORD F250 ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH ,HIT A SMALL ROUGH PATCH ON ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL . WAS ABLE TO LOWER SPEED AND PULLED OVER LUCKILY ME AND MY FAMILY DID NOT CRASH. FORD NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WITH THERE STEERING COMPONENTS .

THIS IS A UPDATE TO ADD TO COMPLAINT #11384843 DEALER HAS NOT FIXED , SENT HOME AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 5 DAYS AND LOOKED AT 2 OR 3 TIMES , MY CONVERSATIONS WITH SERVICE AT DEALER IN NEW EMAILS . I NEED TO ADD THESE EMAILS TO THIS COMPLAINT.

TWO WEEKS AGO, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING THE NOTORIOUS 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHICH CAUSES THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE NECESSARY PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR AN UNSPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE PART BEING DELIVERED, AND I'VE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. IT'S STILL UNKNOWN AS TO WHEN THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE. ON 1/7/20, I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY HOPING THEY COULD PROVIDE MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS REGARDING THE SHIPMENT OF THE PART. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO INFORMED ME THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES OTHER THAN CONTINUE CHECKING IN WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DUE TO THE UNKNOWN TIMEFRAME AND POTENTIAL DANGER, I ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVE IF FORD WOULD REIMBURSE ME TO INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET STEERING DAMPER AND LABOR FOR INSTALL. SHE TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD DECLINE MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE TRUCK HAS 23,000 MILES AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HITS A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ABOVE 50 MPH.

I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE CAR WHEN I WENT OVER AN OVER PASS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND IT TRIGGERED THE DEATH WOBBLE WHICH WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. IT NOW HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES AND I REFUSE TO EVEN HAVE A PASSENGER INTO THE TRUCK. IF ANYONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH OUT DOUBT

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 64 -66 MPH WHEN IT WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VOILENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH SO HARD I COULD BARELY GAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I FINALLY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE SHAKING AND STERRING WHEEL SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY 70 MILE PER HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF HITTING THE BRAKES SO SUDDENLY TO TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND I TURNED AROUND AND WE WENT DIRECTLY BACK AND HAD THEM PUT IT INTO THE SHOP TO DETERMINE WHAT REPAIRS THAT WERE NEEDED. THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE INSPECTED BY THEIR MECHANIC AND NECESSARY REPAIRS DETERMINED.

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I40, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD, I CROSSED A BRIDGE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY ROTATE SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING THE TRUCK (DEATH WOBBLE). THE STEERING WHEEL BRUISED MY RIGHT HAND AND STRETCHED MY ELBOW LIGAMENTS. LUCKILY THE TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS BESIDE ME AND THE ONE BEHIND ME SAW MY 4 WAY LIGHTS AND BACKED OFF. SHOWING DOWN TO 45 MPH ENDED THIS ISSUE. THE FRONT SUSPENSION IT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE STARTED EXPERIENCING A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. AFTER RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL ALIGNMENT CENTER HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS COMMON ON THE 2019 F250. HE SAID THIS IS PART OF THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM IN THE F250. FOLLOWING THE RESEARCH AND HAVING RIGHT AT 100K MILES IT'S DISHEARTING THAT FORD IS IGNORING A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECT. IT'S HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. 55 TO 75MPH FORD SENT ME A RECALL ON THE STEERING STABILIZER. BUT AFTER INSPECTION MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT. TIE RODS AND OTHER COMPONENTS LIVE A SHORTENED LIFE. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT HE DOES THIS REPAIR OFTEN FOR A LOCAL COMPANY BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT WARRANTY IT.

WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70-75MPH AND WOULD NOT CEASE UNTIL ALMOST COMPLETE STOP OCCURRED ON SIDE OF ROAD. VIOLENT SHAKING OF VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR REASON. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES. ALMOST CAUSED COLLISION WITH DAUGHTER IN VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 60 MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE KNOW AS DEATH WOBBLE. AFTER HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START TO OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW 40 MPH. YOU LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ARE UNABLE TO STEER. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 7 TIMES STARTING AROUND 15000 MILES.

I HAVE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY FRONT END. IT HAPPENS OFTEN AND IS EXTREMELY VIOLENT. I HAVE VIDEO BUT ITS LARGER THAN 5 MB

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDOMETER AN INTERSTATE, ABOUT 70, AFTER HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS/POTHOLES, I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKING WAS EQUIVALENT TO HAVING SQUARE FRONT TIRES. AFTER SLOWING TO ABOUT 50 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT.
