2019 Ford F-250 SD complaints

I WAS TRAVELING ON A COUNTY ROAD AND MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. I HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD PRIOR TO CROSSING A BRIDGE. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I CAME TO A DEAD STOP. I ALMOST HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. I HAVE RESEARCHED WHAT HAPPENED AND I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THIS PARTICULAR SERIES OF VEHICLES. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PAYING TO TRY AND GET THIS FIXED BUT NO ONE PROMISES A FIX. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR CO. I CALLED THEM TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND BASICALLY HUNG UP ON ME. I'M ALSO NOW AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING ON THIS MATTER. HOW DO I INVOLVE MYSELF IN THAT MATTER? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST WHERE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES AND FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BE REAL HARD TO STAY OFF ONE OF THE VEHICLES AT YOUR SIDES OR KEEP FROM CAUSING A PILE-UP BEHIND YOU.*DT*JB

TRUCK EXPERIENCE VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS, OR GROOVES IN PAVEMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS RESULTS IN DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING/MANEUVERING OF THE VEHICLE SAFELY. PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR THE LAST 10-12K MILES. CURRENTLY IN FOR SERVICE AS THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WAS SPEEDING UP TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED WAY DOWN AND PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND EXITED THE TRUCK. I DID A VISUAL INSPECTION ALL AROUND THE TRUCK AND NOTHING APPEARED BROKEN OR DAMAGED. I GOT BACK IN AND MERGED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASED SPEED. THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION WAS GONE. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD SUPER DUTY OWNERS AND ITS CALLED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE". I CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOO. *TR

FRONT END "DEATH WOBBLE" 2019 F250 WITH 17000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON 2 LANE ROAD, SLIGHT LEFT CURVE IN THE ROAD AT APPROX 55 MPH, HIT A FROST HEAVY BUMP. CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL. WORSE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. STOPPED ONCE BELOW 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. WENT TO FORD TODAY. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I'M SKEPTICAL THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. FRONT TIRES ARE AT 5/32 FACTORY GOODYEAR. WITH EVEN WEAR. I WILL REPLACE TIRES NEXT. THESE EVENTS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS IT IS A COMBINATION OF CHEAP/WORN PARTS AND POOR QUALITY TIRES. *TR

GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER ABOUT 75 HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING STARTED SHAKING WILL BAD. HAD TO SLOW WAY DOWN TO GET CONTROL. FOUND OUT LATER THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS GONE INTO A VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH TWO AND FOUR LANE HIGHWAYS. I'VE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THE MOST RECENT TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 17000 MILES ON IT AND IS LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WENT OVER AN AREA THAT HAD A PATCH IN THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS I HIT THAT BUMP MY TRUCK FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA LOOSE CONTROL. I ALMOST WENT INTO ANOTHER LANE BUT THANKFULLY I HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE TRUCK JUST VIBRATED SO HARD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT TENDS TO DO THAT ON BUMPS. *TR

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP MANY MANY TIMES FORD COULD NOT REPAIR IT. IT HAS DEATH WOBBLE AND BUMP STEER. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F250 DIESEL POWER STROKE THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY AND I COULD BARELY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK VERY ABRUPTLY TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A STATE HIGHWAY, CLEAR SKIES AND THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F-250 SUPER DUTY AT 52 MPH TO GET ON INTERSTATE I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE PAVEMENT AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY PICKUP DUE TO EXTREME AND UNCONTROLLABLE VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING/WOBBLE. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE IN TIME TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT TIRES AND FRONT SUSPENSION BUT DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. I STARTED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY CROSSED A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS GOING 50 MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ACTION. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T FORD BEING REQUIRED BY YOUR GROUP TO RECALL THESE DANGEROUS PICKUPS????!!!??? *TR

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIBRATING AND TURNING BACK AND FORTH AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. I ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK BEHIND ME FROM SLOWING DOWN SO QUICKLY. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES VIOLENTLY. FIRST AT LESS THAN 10,000 MILES, THE SECOND AT 42,000 MILES AND THE LAST AND MOST VIOLENTLY AT 45,000 MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY UNEVEN TIRE WEAR OR IMPROPER AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES. IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED 100K MILE PLATINUM WARRANTY. I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE TRACK BAR WITH AN AFTERMARKET VERSION DESIGNED TO CORRECT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE, AND THE PROBLEM HAS STOPPED. *TR

WHEN HITTING MINOR BUMPS IN ROADWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE IS THROWN VIOLENTLY OFF COURSE-MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONCERN THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE LAST OCCURRENCE. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE. THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS TRUCK WAS FIXED 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME FORD DEALERSHIP GUARANTEED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. MY FAMILY WAS OUT AT RISK EACH TIME AND THE PEOPLE THAT WERE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY 2019 F-250 USUALLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH BEGINS TO HAVE VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. PROBLEM CAN BE SO SEVERE THAT YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHILE TRYING TO AVOID TRAFFIC TO BRING THE TRUCK TO REDUCED SPEED TO AROUND 15/20 MPH BEFORE IT STOPS. SHAKING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 FORD F-250 WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 72 MILES/HR. I WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS SLAM ON BRAKES AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER TO GET IT TO STOP. I INSPECTED THE TRUCK BUT FOUND NOTHING OBVIOUS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD "THIS IS COMMON, WE CALL IT PORPOISING". THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. I HAVE NOW SPENT ALMOST $1000 DOLLARS ON A NEW ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR, PREMIUM SHOCKS AND A DUAL STEERING STABILIZER TO TRY AND REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT WITHOUT NHTSA INTERVENTION.

LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, IT GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE THAT I CAN'T STOP. THE TRUCK USUALLY HAS TO GET DOWN BELOW 30 MPH BEFORE IT STOPS WOBBLING. I LOST A BOAT OFF A TRAILER BECAUSE THE TRUCK AND TRAILER GOT SIDEWAYS

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 45-65MPH ON HIGHWAY, TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND ENTIRE VEHICLE WILL WOBBLE AND BOUNCE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND ONLY WAY TO REDUCE THE SHAKING EPISODE IS TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND REDUCE SPEED TO BELOW 10MPH. THIS IS A COMMON FORD FRONT END PROBLEM AND IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND OCCURS IN MOST FORD SUPERDUTYS FROM 2005-2020

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH 14000 MILES 3 DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS 40MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON ROAD. THE TRICK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I COMPLETELY STOPPED THE TRUCK. I CALLED SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS A DEATH WOBBLE AND IF THEY REPLACE THE MANUFACTURE PART IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN ABOUT 30K MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH ON WET ROADWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 35 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIBERTY FORD BRUNSWICK (3101 CENTER RD, BRUNSWICK, OH 44212, (330) 225-9141) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY, STEERING LINKAGE, DAMPER AND TIRE PRESSURE NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP ON HIGHWAY STEERING WHEEL CAN SHAKE ALMOST CAUSING YOU TO CHANGE LANES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL CARONE FORD INC., (5093 US-117, WALLACE, NC 28466) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN UNKNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,198.

AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. ANY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT ~55 MPH OR MORE, THIS HAPPENS. TRUCK HAS 25800 MILES. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT UP UNTIL THIS TIME, IT WAS NOT NEAR AS BAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH THEN AFTER BREAKS WERE APPLIED THE TRUCK STARTED TO GO INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHICH ALMOST MADE ME CRASH.

FROM THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 50-70MPH, SIMILAR TO TIRES NOT BEING BALANCED CORRECTLY, AND PLANNED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT ON THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AT AROUND 3900 MILES ON THE WAY HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP I HIT A SMALL INSIGNIFICANT POTHOLE ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 70 AND IT JERKED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE. THAT SAME ROAD TRIP I HIT A SECOND SMALL POTHOLE AND THIS TIME IT JERKED THE TRUCK INTO THE OTHER LANE, LUCKILY NO CAR WAS NEXT TO ME. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE THE ON RAMP OF A FREEWAY, AT AROUND 50 MPH, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT I WOULD LATER FIND TO BE KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT SHOOK THE WHEEL SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS WAS COMING OFF THE TRUCK. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AND THE WOBBLE DISSIPATED SO I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING SLOWLY BACK HOME. I CALLED AND BROUGHT THE VEHICHLE INTO THE DEALER AN HOUR LATER AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE A TSB OUT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. IF THIS IS OCCURING AT 4K MILES THAN IT IS NOT A 'WEAR AND TEAR' ISSUE. THIS IS A PROBLEM DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY AND FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO NOT SELL ANOTHER F-250 OFF THEIR LOT UNTIL THEIR TSB HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND RECALL ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NOW HAS ME FEARFUL OF LETTING MY WIFE AND KIDS RIDE IN THE VEHICLE.

DEATH WOBBLE / SEVERE SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 70 MPH AND HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE PAVEMENT AT A BRIDGE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND STEERING SYSTEM AND WHATEVER ELSE IT TAKES TO FULLY RESOLVE. PEOPLE WILL GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 F250 IN JANUARY AND NOTICED AROUND 65 TO 70 MPH THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING BACK AND FORTH I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE STABILIZER SHOCK STATING THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THEM FOR THIS ISSUE. THE TRUCK STILL SHAKES AT 65 TO 70 MPH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX WHAT FORD WILL TELL THEM TO FIX. THIS TO ME IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT THESES SPEEDS A PERSON COULD LOOSE CONTROL AND WRECK

MY 2019 FORD F250 HAS A DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DRIVING ON 3/22/2020 AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THE TRUCK IS 8 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 50 MPH. THIS WOBBLE WAS VIOLENT, AND IF I HADN'T SLOWED DOWN IT COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WERE CARS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK, LEFT OUT THE DEALERSHIP, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD @ 65MPH AND THE TRUCK BEGAN THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN THE FRONT END AND SHOOK VIGOROUSLY UNTIL I SLOWED TO 45MPH. IT DID IT A FEW MORE TIMES ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALER. TSB#19-2392 WAS USED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR.

I HAVE THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE ALREADY BEEN SERVICED AFTER 1700 MILES FOR THIS ISSUE AND DON'T THINK IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF A NEW STEERING STABILIZER

DRIVING TRUCK AT ABOUT 50 MPH HIT POT HOLE THEN STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO BRING IT UNDER CONTROL

THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW, THE LAST TIME I WAS TOWING MY WORK TRAILER. IT SEEMS IT IS ALWAYS AT OR NEAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ONLY IF I HIT SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT OR THE START OR STOP OF A BRIDGE. AFTER I HIT THE ROUGH SPOTS THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY TO GET IT TO STOP, MAYBE AROUND 25 MPH. THE FIRST FEW TIMES WHERE BAD, BUT THE LAST TIME WITH MY ENCLOSED TRAILER I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF I-75 IN FT. MYERS FLORIDA AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS NOT TO HEAVY AND EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. I REALLY LIKE THE TRUCK, BUT I CAN NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AS I AM ON I-75 WITH MY TRAILER JUST ABOUT EVERY WEEKDAY IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SUCH A GOOD OUTCOME IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NORMAL TRAFFIC FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

PURCHASED A FORD CERTIFI PRE-OWNED VEHICLEWITH 35,285 MILES, THE DAY I PICKED IT UP AT ABOUT 60MPH I DROVE OVER A PAVEMENT TRANSITION AND THE TRUCK STARTED TOHAVE SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST GRIP OF THE STEERING WHEEL. BEHIND ME WAS A SCHOOL BUS OF CHILDREN AND NOWHERE TO PULL OFF OR SLOW DOWN ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO GET ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE SHAKING AND THE SCHOOL BUS BEHIND ME HAD TO GET ON THE BRAKES HEAVILY SINCE THE DRIVER STARTED FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD FROM WHAT I AM RESEARCHING IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACT ON THE PROBLEM. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT EITHER FOR THE FORD TRUCK OWNER LIKE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE VACINITY OF ONE OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON.

DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AROUND 25000 MILES FORD SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. NOW THE TRUCK HAS 37000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE. NORMALLY THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS FROM 65 MPH AND UP.

GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST CRASHED ONLY HAD 33K MILES SHOULD BE A RECALL

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE PICKUP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THEN THE NEXT TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE PICKUP SUDDENLY JUMPED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK.

TRUCK WILL START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS ON THE ROAD. SPEED AROUND 60-75MPH

DEATH WOBBLE! UNSAFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE DESTINATION. ADDITIONALLY, ON OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION AND SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILED TO START.

WE GOING DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE ON A STATE HIGHWAY GOING 63 MPH, PULLING MY GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH 10K LBS OF POLES. I WAS COMING UP TO A CURVE AND APPLIED THERE BRAKES AS WE WENT INTO THE CORNER AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO HOLD AS TIGHTLY AS I COULD TO MAKE THE CURVE AND HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MPH THEN IT STOPPED.

WHILE TOWING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER ON THE 10E BOUND WE HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD. THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT WE HAD BLOWN A TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND AT ABOUT 30MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED AND THEN I PULLED SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE AND THERE APPEARED TO BE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND A SERVICE TECH SAID "IT SOUNDS LIKE DEATH WOBBLE". THAT WAS THE FIRST I HAD EVER HEARD OF DEATH WOBBLE. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP THE TRUCK HOME AT 40MPH AND THEN IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 WEEKS BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AND I CAN ONLY HOPE NEVER HAPPENS TO ANYONE ELSE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRUCK HAS ENTERED A "DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER AND STOP THE WOBBLE BY LETTING OFF THE GAS AND SLOWING TO BELOW 55 MPH. THE LAST ONE (YESTERDAY 25FEB20) NEARLY CAUSED ME TO ROLL THE TRUCK WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH MY TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT ALSO FELT AS IF THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. I DECREASED MY SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND MY TRUCK QUIT SHAKING. THIS HAPPENED ON 02/23/2020. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK. ONE OTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE TRUCK QUIT SHAKING. THE OTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN A CURVE. THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WENT INTO THE LEFT LANE. I SLOWED DOWN AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING ON 02/24/2020. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND MY TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE A DEATH WOBBLE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF MY TRUCK AND IT HAS LESS THAN 7600 MILES. MY TRUCK IS FULLY STOCK WITH THE 18 INCH RIMS AND STOCK TIRES.

WHILE ON A HIGHWAY ON A LONG TURN, A DAMAGE SECTION OF THE ROAD WAS APPROACHED. WHEN THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER THE BUMP, THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE AND LOSS TENSION, THE VEHICLE DISCONTINUED TURNING FOR A MOMENT THEN REGAIN STEERING A SECOND LATER. WHILE TURNING, DURING THE MOMENT OF LOSS STEERING, THE VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE THE VEHICLES STEERING WAS POSITIONED, THEN SKIDDING THE OCCURRED AND STEERING WAS REGAINED. SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 55MPH
