2019 Ford F-250 SD complaints

THE TRUCK DEVELOPS A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OFTEN INDUCED BY ROAD BUMPS OR BRAKING. THIS IS THE SECOND 2019 F250 TRUCK I'VE OWNED THAT DEVELOPED THIS PROBLEM WITH LESS THAN 20K MILES I TRADED THE FIRST ONE AFTER THE WARRANTY DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

ON 9/8/20 I EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE ON I-29 IN IOWA. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WE WERE TOWING OUR FIFTH WHEEL WHICH MADE THIS EVEN MORE CONCERNING. RESEARCHING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON F250S WHICH IS WELL DOCUMENTED IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR OUR FAMILY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 10 IN MADISON COUNTY FLORIDA, WE CROSSED A BRIDGE AT 70 MPH AND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE TEMPORARY LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAD TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN TO 5 MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. AFTER RESEARCH WE DETERMINED THIS IS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE.

WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-10 I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET OFF THE NORTH BOUND OFF RAMP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO "WOBBLE" I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND THIS NOT BEING THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED I KNEW NOT TO HIT THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK CONTINUED GOING WEST, I WENT THROUGH TWO MEDIANS AND HIT A SIGN BEFORE STOPPING IN A SOUTH BOUND ON COMING TRAFFIC LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE DOCUMENTED TIMES WITH TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WERE ALSO GIVEN A LIST OF OTHER OCCURRENCES. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED IN FOR THE ISSUE I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THAT POSSIBLY GETTING NEW TIRES OR ALIGNMENT MAY HELP. NOTHING HELPED, I WAS JUST IN ON JULY 30TH FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE RECALL I LATER FOUND OUT ABOUT WAS NOT ADDRESSED. WHEN THE ISSUE WAS DISCUSSED WITH JONES FORD I WAS TOLD "LUCKY THING IS NO ONE HAS DIED FROM THIS"

ON AFTERNOON OF 9.4.2020, EXPERIENCED THE STEERING WHEEL "DEATH WOBBLE" DRIVING WEST ON U.S. HWY 254 BETWEEN EL DORADO, KS AND BENTON, KS. SMOOTH HIGHWAY, BUT SEVERE WOBBLE OCCURRED DRIVING OVER BRIDGE SEAM AT 65-70 MPH. SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH. WOBBLE STOPPED BETWEEN 55-60 MPH. LASTED FOR 5-6 SECONDS, WITH NO CONTROL. GOOD WEATHER. NO RAIN. TRUCK BED NOT LOADED. TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES, IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. ALWAYS SHEDDED, GOOD TIRES. PURCHASED USED FROM MARMIE FORD, GREAT BEND, KS ON 7/11/2020.

WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, I HIT AN BUMPY SURFACE WHEN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS SHAKING TRANSFERRED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND GET OFF THE ROAD THE SHAKING STOPPED. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH ME. RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' LIKE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE TRUCK HAVE EXPERIENCED.

WHEN TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, AS BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE FRONT END BEGINS TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE AS SPEED PASSES FROM 65 TO ABOUT 55 MPH. THIS CAUSES IT TO BE DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

DEATH WOBBLE !!!! STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 75 MPH ,,, ,GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE ,AND HIT A SEAM IN THE ROAD OR A POTHOLE ......TRUCK HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT !!! TRUCK IS NOT RAISED OR ALTERED IN ANYWAY !!!! HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT ..

MY TRUCK HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DIVING 70 MILE PER HOUR WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK I HAD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP ON A 75 MPH HIGHWAY. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK WHEN THAT HAPPENED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY'LL FIX THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER . BUT THE TIRES NEED TO BE ALIGNED AND THE SHIMS NEED TO REPAIRED ALSO. AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $450. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR FREE THERE IS NO REASON A BRAND NEW TRUCK SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT ALL SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL.

VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES ON INTERSTATE WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE WAS COMPLETLEY COMSUMED IN FIRE WITHIN SECONDS AND REDUCED TO A PILE OF STEEL AND ASHES. ODOMETER READ 10500 MILES

IT OCCURRED FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, WHEN DRIVING AT 55MPH I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY BACK AND FORTH. HAD COMPLETE INABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE SHAKING STOPPED ROUGHLY 300 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AND THERE WERE NO ONCOMING VEHICLES, OTHERWISE I AM NOT SURE I COULD HAVE AVOIDED A CRASH OR MADE THE TURN. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE QUITE A FEW F250 OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING & PARKED AIR THE BAG SYMBOL COMES ON ALONG WITH CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT & BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT THE AC BLOWS HOT AIR, WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, TURN SIGNAL, AND TOUCH SCREEN ALL STOP WORKING. IT'S LIKE YOU ARE COMPLETELY LOCKED IN THE TRUCK.

VEHICLE PURCHASED ON 2/27/20 AT GOLDY AUTOMOTIVE IN HUNTINGTON, WV WITH 19912 MILES. RETURNED TO GOLDY AUTOMOTIVE ON 7/31/20 TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED AND TIRES ROTATED. LEFT DEALERSHIP ON 7/31/20 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM. AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY LEAVING ME UNABLE TO STEER, HAVING A NEAR MISS WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. CALLED MANAGER AT GOLDY AUTO IMMEDIATELY. HE SENT A REPLACEMENT TRUCK TO MY HOME, PICKED UP VEHICLE THAT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND RETURNED IT TO GOLDY AUTO ON 8/1 TO CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR DAMAGE. 8/1/2020, THE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY WAS RETURNED TO ME SAME DAY, ASSURING EVERYTHING WAS FIXED AND IN GOOD CONDITION. 8/5/2020 I DRIVE THE TRUCK, TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALMOST CAUSING YET ANOTHER CRASH. 8/10/2020 I RETURN THE TRUCK TO GOLDY AUTO, WHOM VERIFIED MY CONCERNS, AND LISTED THAT "OUTER TIE-RODS WORN, TRACK BAR BUSHINGS WORN" AND MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPENER. GOLDY AUTO DID NOT TOW THE VEHICLE, BUT SENT ME OUT IN THE UNSAFE TRUCK WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. GOLDY REFUSED TO FIX ANY PROBLEMS, BECAUSE THEY ARENT A FORD DEALER. 8/13/20 I TAKE THE UNSAFE TRUCK TO THORNHILL FORD. I GIVE THEM THE DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT GOLDY AUTO DETERMINED TO BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THORNHILL FORD REFUSES TO FIX ANY OF THE ITEMS LISTED BY GOLDY AUTO, ONLY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPENER, AS INSTRUCTED BY FORD. I DO NOT

WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS OR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS FRONT SUSPENSION BEING AS RIDGED AS IT IS WILL CAUSE TIRES TO BOUNCE, AND IF YOU SHOULD BE ON A CURVE WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE YOUR VEHICLE TO BOUNCE DRIFT SUDDENLY. THIS EXPERIENCE IS MAGNIFIED WHEN TOWING A VEHICLE WHICH PUTS MORE WEIGHT ON THE REAR AND LESS ON THE FRONT WHEELS BOUNCE DRIFTING HAS BEEN AS BAD AS 12" FROM ORIGINAL POSITION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO SUSPENSION TO NOT BE SO RIDGED WORST ON FREEWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL FORD F250 SUPER DUTY IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ALWAYS DUE TO BAD ROADS OR UNEVEN TRANSITION

EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AROUND FOUR WEEKS AGO. TRAVELING AROUND 60 MPH, HIT A BUMP ON THE FREEWAY AND STEERING WHEEL STARTING OSCILLATING VIOLENTLY UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 35 MPH. SINCE HAVE HAD THE STEERING DAMPENER REPLACED AND THE FRONT END STILL FEELS LOOSE AND THE TRUCK VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON PERFECT PAVEMENT.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TRUCK HITS A BUMP AND JUMPS SIDEWAYS. TWICE IT HAS HAPPENED IN A CORNER AND CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO FISH TAIL. THE TRUCK HAS JUMPED AS FAR AS HALF A LANE TO THE SIDE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FORD HAS REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER UNDER WARRANTY, WITH NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. NOW THEY ARE STATING THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN AND MY TIRES ARE CAUSING THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY, OUR DRIVER CROSSED A BRIDGE THAT HAD A DECENT BUMP ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL UNTIL IT GOT SLOWED DOWN TO 45-50 MPH THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO REGAIN COMPLETE CONTROL AND THE TRUCK STOPPED SHACKING. THE STEERING DAMPER HAS A FIELD SERVICE ACTION IN PLACE FSA 20N04-STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER EXTENDED COVERAGE. WE HAVE SEVERAL 2018 F250 TRUCKS THAT WE USE TO PULL ENCLOSED TRAILERS. WHEN WE TRIED TO SCHEDULE THEM TO BE REPLACE THEY WOULD NOT DO IT UNTIL IT WAS CAUSING AN ISSUE. HAD WE HAD A TRAILER HOOKED UP DURING THIS INCIDENT IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A URGENT RECALL NOT A "FIELD SERVICE ACTION"

WHEN DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND I HIT A BUMP IN ROAD AND THE VEH. SHOOK SO HARD I COULD NOT KEEP IN MY LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. FIRST TIME FORD SAID IT WAS STEERING DAMPER, REPLACED IT (AROUND 18K MILE) TODAY IT DONE IT AGAIN (32810 MILES) BOTH TIMES THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CURVE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. CALL ME IF U NEED TO [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED ME TO EXPERIENCE THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' HAVING NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I SLOWED TO AROUND 25MPH PUTTING ME IN MORE DANGER. THE VEHICLE HAS 19KMILES.

AFTER EXPERIENCING THE TRUCK SHAKING ON THE ROAD WITH NO LOAD, WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN WITH LESS THAN 8K MILES ON IT - FORD SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, AND ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. FORD ONCE AGAIN TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND SENT THE TRUCK BACK TO US. WE HAVE BARELY USED IT DURING THE COVID LOCKDOWN BUT LAST WEEK I EXPERIENCED THE SHAKING TO A LESSER DEGREE AND I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS COMING BACK (THE TRUCK IS LESS THAT ONE YEAR OLD WITH 9K MILES ON IT!) FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IS SELLING THE TRUCKS ANYWAY TO UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS - UNBELIEVEABLE!

EMPLOYEE WAS UTILIZING SIDE STEP TO OBTAIN AN ITEM FROM THE TOOLBOX WHEN THE PLASTIC PORTION OF THE STEP BROKE AWAY, CAUSING THE EMPLOYEE TO LOSE BALANCE AND FALL TO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65 MPH), I CROSSED A BRIDGE TRANSITION STRIP WHICH WAS ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE "DEATH WOBBLE" CONDITION. I HAD TO CAREFULLY RUN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" CONDITION.

AT 19,000 MILES MY TRUCK WOULD SHAKE IF YOU HIT ANY KIND OF BUMP OVER 45 MPH. AT LOWER SPEEDS IT FEELS 35MPH AND LOWER LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END RATTLES. TOOK I TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE STEERING STABILIZER AND THAT ALL OTHER JOINT AND BUSHINGS WERE TIGHT AND OK. 3,000 MILES LATER I AM ON A TRIP TO SPOKANE WA. THEN BACK TO HELENA, MT. APPROX 630 MILES ROUND TRIP. ON THE WAY TO SPOKANE THE FRONT END SEEMED TO BOUNCING AROUND ANY TIME WE HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN BRIDGE DECK. ON THE WAY BACK TO HELENA IT ONLY GOT WORSE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON MY TRUCK 5 TIMES AS IT SEEMED LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS GOING TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK. MY WIFE WAS SO SCARED THAT SHE WANTED ME TO STOP AND LET HER OUT. THIS IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER AND NOW SHE IS TO SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. I WENT TO FORD AND TOLD THEM THAT I HAD RESEARCHED THE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD JUST THROWS PARTS AT THEM HOPING IT WILL FIX IT. THESE TRUCK ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF THEY DONE GET IT FIGURED OUT. I NOW HAVE A $50,000 TRUCK SITTING IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE I AM TO SCARED TO LET IT OUT ON THEW ROAD CAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF MY FAMILY OR THE MOTORING PUBLIC. I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE.

TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY RAMP TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 55-60 MPH, AND WENT OVER A ROUGH PATCH, STEERING WHEEL STARTED WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY. SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 AND WOBBLING STOPPED. RESUMED NORMAL TRAVEL, NEVER WENT OVER POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH AND SLOWED DOWN FOR BUMPS AND ROUGH PATCHES.

FRONT WHEELS SHAKE AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AFTER HITTING ROUGH SPOT OR UNEVEN AREA ON ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. THIS CONDITION IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR CORRECTED. IT OCCURS WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE, BUT CAN HAPPEN WHEN GOING STRAIGHT.

I HAVE LOST STEERING CONTROL ONCE AT 70MPH AND ONCE AT 45-50 MPH AFTER HITTING MINOR PAVEMENT BUMPS. THE SO CALLED DREADED DEATH WOBBLE AND BOTH TIMES NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PROBLEM BACK IN FALL AND NOW IT'S DOING AGAIN AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I KNOW LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND THAT'S RIDICULOUS FOR A 2019 VEHICLE BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS YOU SEE ON THIS I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED WHEN THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE FOUR RECALLS I HAVE RECEIVED ON MY TRUCK LAUGHABLE REALLY WHAT IS FORD WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED I WAS VERY NEAR REAR ENDED TWICE WHEN SLOWING DOWN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE SO AS NOT TO LOSE CONTROL AND EITHER GO OFF THE ROAD OR HIT VEHICLE BESIDE ME

DEATH WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. REQUIRES IMMEDIATE SLAM ON BREAKS TO STOP. HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS 50 MPH TO 70 MPH ON ANY STREET SURFACE. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AND OCCURRED EVERY TIME DRIVEN UNTIL WARRANTY DEPARTMENT REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER. IT TOOK 3 WEEKS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT STABILIZER. SECOND OCCURRENCE OCCURRED AT 13,000 MILES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND IS IN BACK IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR CURRENTLY. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY MY NEW 2019 F250 FRONT END SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL.. LESS THAN 20 THOUSAND MILES

ON JULY 3, 2020 AT 7:10 AM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 F250 WITH 14,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AS THE PROBLEM IS KNOW. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PATCH ON I45 SOUTH IN HOUSTON,TX. AND MY VEHICLE'S STEERING WENT VIOLENTLY WRONG. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE AS IF MY FRONT LEFT TIRE FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I APPLIED LIGHT BRAKING AS MY VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VEERED RIGHT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS BESIDE ME. LUCKILY THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND LET ME INTO THEIR LANE WITHOUT CREATING AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM COLLIDING INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER ALONG THE FEEDER ROAD. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A BIT OF AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING BUT ONLY THOUGHT IT WAS A STOUT SUSPENSION IN BEING A 4X4 F250 DIESEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE SEEMS TO IN THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND ALIGNMENT FROM THE FACTORY.

THIS IS A NEW 2019 FORD 250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. IN FEBRUARY 2019 TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75 MPH( ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY) & I HIT A GROOVE AND MY FRONT END WENT IN TO A HORRIBLE HEAVY HEAD SHAKE.IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT THIS WAS THE WORST BY FAR. IN DALLAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS HEAD SHAKE IS BY HITTING THE BRAKES HARD. TO DO THAT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC ON ALL SIDES IS HORRIFYING. TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD AND THERE IS A DAMPER RECALL (AMONG OTHERS). THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER. THESE DAMPERS ARE NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A GOLF CLUB. ARE NOT MADE OR RATED TO SUPPORT A TRUCK WITH OVER A 10,000 LB WEIGHT LIMIT. NOW HERE WE ARE IN JULY AND ITS BACK IN THE SHOP. SINCE MARCH THERE HAS BEEN 2/3 MORE UPGRADES TO THIS DAMPER. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG HEAD SHAKE? IT RUINED OTHER THINGS CONNECTED TO DAMPER (DRAG LINK/BUSHING). EVEN WITH THIS NEW UPGRADED DAMPER THEY EXPECT IT'LL BE BACK IN. THEY OFFER A AFTER MARKET " DUAL-DAMPER" (700$) THAT SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND IT SHOULD COME WITH SUPER DUTY PARTS!!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT THEMSELVES AND OR OTHERS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. TRUCK SHOULD BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW, I CALLED CORPORATE TO TRY AND GET THE DUAL DAMPER APPROVED AND I AM ON HOLD. SO AS IT STANDS THIS WILL BE THE 3RD DAMPER THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE GETTING IT IN OCTOBER 2019.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE UN CONTROLLABLE ALMOST RAN A SMALL CAR OFF THE ROAD SCARED ME AND THE WIFE TO DEATH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE NOW.

I WAS TRAVELING AT 74 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIT A ROUGH SPOT AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE TO THE POINT I HAD NO CONTROL ON DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I GOT BELOW 45 MPH AND CAME OUT OF THE WOBBLE. CONTINUED ON AT 66 MPH AND HIT ANOTHER BUMP AND WENT INTO ANOTHER WOBBLE. GAINED CONTROL WHEN I GOT BACK UNDER 45 MPH.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH RATTLE/WOBBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2019. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND SO DOES THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE SUSPENSION, STEERING WHEEL OR THE WHEELS THEMSELVES. WHEN I GO OVER 25 MILES AN HOUR AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD I EXPERIENCE THIS RATTLING. ALSO I HEAR THE RATTLING BELOW THE ENGINE LIKE A LOOSE MUFFLER WHEN I GO OVER THIS SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALSO ON CITY STREETS WITH MY FAMILY YOUNG KIDS INCLUDED AND ONCE I HIT 55-60 MY TRUCK STARTED A "DEATH WOBBLE " AS THEY CALL IT I COULDN'T CONTROL MY VEHICLE IT SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY TILL I SLOWED DOWN TO 45 THEN IT STOPPED .MY FAMILY WAS SCARED MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 17K MILES ON IT BRAND NEW TRUCK . FORD SHOULD NOT BE SELLING VEHICLES WITH THESE PROBLEMS WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AND WHAT CAN I DO ? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AGAIN TILL PROBLEM IS FIXED BUT I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. I'M GAMBLING WITH THE PERSONAL SAFTY EVERY DAY SO I CAN MAKE A LIVING .

VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE & WOBBLE AFTER CROSSING AN OVER PASS, POTHOLE, OR ANY KIND OF BUMP AT SPEED. TRUCK IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNSAFE TO TRAVEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR TOWING OF ANY KIND. DEALER ADMITS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR CONDITION HAS BEEN PERFORMED. PROBLEM PERSIST, CLEARLY THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING 70-75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY F250 TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING (AKA THE "SHAKE OF DEATH" OR "DEATH WOBBLE") AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. I ALMOST CRASHED. ALL MY BELONGINGS IN MY TRUCK WERE ALL OVER. THE VEHICLE ALMOST FLIPPED. ITS A MIRACLE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT ALIVE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY "FIXED" THE "DAMPER ASY". FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MANY CUSTOMERS. DOING RESEARCH I REALIZE HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS AND INJURIES PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM ON THE SAME YEAR FORD TRUCKS, THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT'S BEEN PENDING FOR A WHILE APPARENTLY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THESE TRUCKS BEFORE TRAGEDY HAPPENS! *TR

SOMETIME WHILE THE AUTOMATIC LEVEL IS ENGAGED IN DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND THEN VIOLENTLY ENGAGE. MAKING A JERKY MOTION. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES A LOT AT 60MPH ON THE FREE WAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY (POSTED SPEED LIMIT 65MPH) PULLING A TRAILER LOADED WITH 3000LBS OF MATERIAL (TRAILER RATED FOR 7000LBS) THAT WAS SECURED WITH 5000LB TOW STRAP I DROVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF CONCRETE IN THE RIGHT LANE. TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS ALMOST JUMPING TO THE LEFT, STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIOLENTLY, I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL. THE TRUCK VEERED LEFT DRASTICALLY AND I CROSSED 3 LANES OF THE FREEWAY AND SLAMMED INTO THE MEDIAN WALL AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. MORE THAN $15,000 IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. IT IS A MIRACLE NO ONE WAS INJURED. *TR

ON THE MORNING OF 06/15/2020 AT 7:30 AM DRIVING EASTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 64 MM 27 AT A SPEED OF 71 MPH,I EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE AFTER PASSING OVER AN OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY I APPLIED BRAKING AND MOVED ONTO THE SHOULDER ,SLOWED TO A SPEED OF 35 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDED AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL . THE TRUCK SUSPENSION IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH 24000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT LAST SERVICE 1500 MILES BEFORE.. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, AND ROAD HAD POTHOLES AND UNEVEN PAVEMENT. FRONT END VIOLENTLY SHOOK AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING IT TOSSED MY TRUCK INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME AND THANKFULLY NO CAR WAS THERE. THIS IS THE DEATH WOBBLE AND IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE AFTER HITTING GROOVE IN HIGHWAY, WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL STEERING ON TRUCK. *TR

MY 2019 F-250 HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT HAS RECURRED TWICE, BOTH TIMES WITH A VENGEANCE WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH ORLANDO. FORTUNATELY, IT WASN'T RAINING & NOBODY WAS CLOSE BEHIND BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 45MPH OR YOU MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD AND REQUEST A BUY BACK, BUT WAS REFUSED. I THEN ASKED FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE ONLY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY THEY OFFERED ME IS FOR THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY, THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TRUCK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AT 60MPH IF A SMALL BUMP IS HIT ON THE FREEWAY. ONCE I BRAKE AND REDUCE SPEED, APPROX 10-15MPH, IT GOES AWAY.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY F250 WHICH IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WOULD BEGIN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW IMMEDIATELY ALMOST TO A FULL STOP...IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS TWICE. ONCE I RAN OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT WOULD HAPPEN VERY RANDOMLY AND THEN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR DAYS OR WEEKS. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO I GOT SCARED, PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY SAID, BASICALLY, OH, THAT'S THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WE HAVE FIXED TWO OTHERS LIKE THAT. I GOOGLED DEATH WOBBLE TODAY AND THAT IS WHAT MINE DID. SCARY. I'M WORRIED IT WILL CONTINUE. I OWE $60,000ISH ON A WORK VEHICLE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE VIDEO BUT IT IS TOO BIG TO UPLOAD. *TR

MY 2019 F250 HAS 21,000 MILES. I PURCHASED IT USED, AND HAVE HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN 2 FAMILY TRIPS ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS- I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' 4 TIMES. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TWICE IN 50 MILES OF INTERSTATE DRIVING. AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH, WHICH IS THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. WHILE DRIVING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT NEAR A BRIDGE OVERPASS, WHICH IS A MILD BUMP, THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE CAB SHAKES VIOLENTLY. EVERYTHING. BACK AND FORTH LATERALLY. IT'S EXTREMELY LOUD. THE TRUCK IS BARELY ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. I HAVE TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AS SOON AS I CAN, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WHILE IN A PANIC SITUATION. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND ACCELERATING AGAIN, DOES THE WOBBLE STOP. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT AND HIT IT WITH BOTH TIRES AT THE SAME TIME, NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S ONLY WHEN THE JOINT IS CONTACTED AT AN ANGLE. WHEN ONE TIRE HITS, THEN THE NEXT, IS WHAT CREATES THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IS DRIVING AT 55MPH, WHICH IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL. *TR

HIT A BUMP RUNNING 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE IT FORCED ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN LESS THAN 2 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL! I WAS GOING 65 MPH AND I COULD BARLEY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY! BOTH OF MY WRISTS ARE SWOLLEN AND BRUISED AS WELL AS MY RIGHT THUMB. MY NAIL ON MY RIGHT THUMB IS CRACKED AND BRUISED AS WELL AS A RESULT OF HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AS SOON AS I COULD BUT I SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE AND THEN INTO A DITCH. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME, IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE EACH TIME! THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND I WANT JUSTICE. THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 3 SECONDS CLOSER I WOULD HAVE HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION GOING 65 MPH! THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY AND IT IS TERRIFYING! *TR

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS OR BUMPS. COMMONLY REFERRED TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE". TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE THE WOBBLING IS GOING ON. MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AND VERY LITTLE ACTION FROM FORD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED AS A DEFECT LINKED TO ABNORMAL WEAR AND/OR LOOSENING OF THE TRACK BAR BUSHING, DAMPER BRACKET, BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, SHOCKS AND/OR STRUTS. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED BY A PRIVATE SHOP NOT THE DEALER. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE DOING 70MPH. VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NO POWER TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND THE 4WD INDICATOR WAS MOVED FROM 2WD TO 4WD. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACK. ENGINE RUNNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ALL GAUGES IN GOOD STATUS. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR 5 MINS AND BACK ON, NO CHANGES. VEHICLE DEAD IN THE WATER. *TR

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY FROM THE FRONT END AT 70MPH. USUALLY OCCURS AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR UNEVEN LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO HARD THAT ANYTHING ON THE DASH OR CENTER CONSOLE FALLS TO THE FLOOR BOARD, CHANCES OF ITEMS LANDING BEHIND BRAKE PEDAL OR GAS PEDAL. *TR
