2019 Ford F-250 SD complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 45MPG I HEARD A VERY LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT OR A HUGE ROCK HITTING MY TRUCK. WHEN IT WAS SAFE I PULLED OVER TO CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGES. NONE WHERE OBSERVED. THE NEXT DAY I HEARD WIND NOISE AND NO WINDOWS OPEN. I STARTED TO OPEN THE SUNROOF AND HEARD GLASS BREAKING. I GOT HOME AND LOOKED ON ROOF AND SAW A HUGE HOLE IN PANORAMIC PORTION OF SUNROOF AND 1000'S OF PIECES OF GLASS BEING HELD UP BY LINER. NO VANDALISM OR ACCIDENT CAUSED THIS. IF ANYONE IN BACKSEAT THEY COULD HAVE SUFFERED CONSIDERABLE CUTS.

STARTING AT 15,500 MY TRUCK STARTED THE SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" FORD HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH. THIS IS MY SECOND NEW TRUCK IN 2 YEARS WITH IT AND THE PROBLEM DOESN'T GET FIXED. WHEN HITTING THE SLIGHTEST BUMP MY TRUCK BECOMES UNSTEARABLE DUE TO VIOLENT SHAKING. FORD OF UNIONTOWN HAS SEEN THE VIDEO OF MY TRUCK DOING IT, THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT AND THE ONLY ANSWER I GET IS " BE CAREFUL" AND ONE SERVICE TECH SAID WHEN HE DROVE IT HE WAS AFRAID FOR THE PEOPLE NEXT TO HIM. I NEED A TRUCK, I HAVE A BUSINESS, I NEED THIS RESOLVED AND NOT AT MY COST AGAIN. NOR THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE VIDEO IF I CAN UPLOAD IT SOMEWHERE TO SHOW YOU.. PLEASE HELP

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES WHEN HIT A BUMP TRUCK GETS UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING 'DEATH WOBBLE ' ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. CAN'T STEER AND ALMOST DIDN'T RECOVER. HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 7-8 TIMES NOW. CARRIED TO FORD SERVICE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER 6-8 WEEKS .

2019 F250 KING RANCH PURCHASED NEW IN LATE JUNE 2019. FRONT SHIMMY (ALSO REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE"), STARTED OCCURRING AT AROUND 16,000 MILES. THE FRONT WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING COLUMN, ETC,. WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER PASSING OVER A BUMP, SUCH AS AN EXPANSION JOINT, POTHOLES, OR PAVEMENT OVERLAPS AT 60 MPH OR GREATER. HAPPENS MOSTLY DURING INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY DRIVING. VIOLENT SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL VEHICLE HAS SLOWED TO < 25 MPH. AS SOON AS PROBLEM STARTED, THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PARTS REPLACED AS STATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE DATED 12/10/19. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE PARTS REPLACED ARE STATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE DATED 12/26/19. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 1/14/20. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THEY ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER F250 OWNERS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2017-2020 MODELS. THE PARTS MANAGER ORDERED WHAT HE REFERRED TO AS A "SLEEVE" THAT HE HOPED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER FOR 4-8 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR THE TIME BEING, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THIS TRUCKS ,,,,,,,I'M ALMOST HAVE A ACCIDENT THAT DAY

WHILE DRIVING AT OR ABOVE 60 MPH ANY BUMP OR DEFLECTION IN THE ROAD CAN AND WILL CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO START SHAKING AND WALKING SIDE TO SIDE DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL I CAN SLOW DOWN TO A NEAR STOPPED SPEED. FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 26000 MILES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY DRAG LINK, THEN AT 36000 MILES IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I HAVE NOW SPENT THE LAST 5 MONTHS DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM AS FORD INSISTS THEY CANT GET ME PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCK. I HAVE NOW MOVED PAST FORD AND I AM REPAIRING THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN. AS FOR PAPERWORK ALL I HAVE IS AN EMAIL FROM FORD CUSTOMER CARE WITH A COMPLAINT NUMBER AND ALL CONTACT WAS BY PHONE. DEALERSHIP HAS ALL THE PAPERWORK AND NOT WILLING TO RELEASE IT TO ME AT THIS TIME.

DEATH WOBBLE ON INTERSTATE. UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMP ON INTERSTATE. BARELY HELD IT ON THE ROAD AND THE WOBBLING ONLY STOPPED AFTER WE PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. EXTREME DANGER. HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT THIS LAST TIME WAS VERY SEVERE. FORD HOME OFFICE ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND THE REMEDY IS A STABILIZER BAR WHICH THEY ARE PUTTING ON MY TRUCK TODAY. BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 WEEKS SO WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING BACK ROADS EVERYWHERE. MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. THIS MORNING THERE WAS ANOTHER 250 THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE HAD A VIDEO OF HIS DOING IT. NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IF A BIG F250 WRECKS WE MAY SURVIVE BUT IF WE HIT A SMALLER VEHICLE IT COULD INJURE KILL THEM.

WHEN THE TUCK HIT AN AVERAGE BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT GOES INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE FOR AT LEAST 30 SECOND BEFORE RECOVERING. THIS IS VERY SEVERE AND HAPPENS ROUTINELY. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 4000 MILES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AT 45MHP AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY HAD TO TAP THE BRAKE TO STOP IT.

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I CURRENTLY HAVE 14K ON THE ODOMETER. DEALER OR FORD HAS NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. WOBBLE IS GETTING WORSE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE. DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE ISSUE BEFORE RECENTLY PURCHASING THE 2019 F250 AND FROM WHAT I AM FINDING OUT ON THE INTERNET THE ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FROM AS EARLY AS 2005.

DEATH WOBBLE!! WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, AND THERE ARE SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VERY BADLY. HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING MY TRUCK IN CONTROL. HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SOME, THEN STOP ON ITS OWN, BUT NOT THAT TIME. IF A DEATH WOBBLE CAUSES A ACCIDENT OR WORSE YET, SOMEONE GETS KILLED, FORD WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS. &#128552; THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY (HWY 59 IN FORT BEND COUNTY IN TEXAS. ON A STRAIGHT WAY GOING ABOUT 60 - 65 MPH.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2019 F250 SUPER DUTY FROM BILL LUKE SANTAN, (NOT OUR HOME TOWN), ON 12/27/2019. IT CAME WITH A 120 MILE RETURN POLICY. WHEN MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE WAY HOME IT BEGAN A HORRIBLE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END, THIS HAPPENED TWICE. EACH TIME AT ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN TOWN AT ABOUT 55 AND NOT AS SEVERE. I STARTED MAKING PHONE CALLS AND DOING RESEARCH. APPARENTLY THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE IS QUITE WELL KNOWN. WIFE DROVE IT TO MESA FOR A DR APPOINTMENT ON THE 7TH OF JANUARY. SHE HIT A BRIDGE BUMP AND VIBRATED VERY VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT A HALF OF MILE, TRYING SLOWING TO GET IT TO STOP. IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL SHE DID. THAT WAS AT ABOUT 75 MPH. SHE FELT A FEW MORE MINOR ONES ON THE TRIP AS WELL. THE NEXT DAY DURING A TRIP SOMEWHAT INTO TOWN IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BUMPS, CURVES, EVEN AT TAKE OFF. THIS VEHICLE FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND WE HAVE PUT IT OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL IT CAN BE RESOLVED. NOW AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH AND SPENDING $47000 WE ARE QUITE AFRAID FOR OUR SAFETY EVEN IF A REPAIR IS DONE AND FEARING WE HAVE JUST WASTED A LOT OF MONEY. NOW EVERYONE I TALK TO KNOWS ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE. IF I HAD I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. FROM WHAT I AM READING THERE IS NO REAL FIX IN PLACE NOR A RECALL FROM FORD. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN WRECKS AND INJURIES AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE TAKING PLACE REGARDING THE MATTER. I HAVE STARTED A PAPER TRAIL OF ACTIONS, PHONE CALLS, E

2019 F250 EXPERIENCING 'DEATH WOBBLE' WITH 32,000 MILES. DEALER SUGGESTED AFTER MARKET PARTS! THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES IF THE TRUCK DRIVE OVER ANY SMALL DEFECT IN THE ROAD AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE GETS BELOW 5 MPH.

AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW, 2019 F250 SUPER DUTY, WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEATH WOBBLE BEGAN OCCURRING AT A SPEED OF OR HIGHER THAN 60MPH AFTER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER INITIALLY FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE, WHERE THEY THEN REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AFTER DEEMING IT FAULTY. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, WITH JUST OVER 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE DEATH WOBBLE REAPPEARED WITH MORE SEVERITY AS WELL AS THE BRAKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ESSENTIALLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE. AGAIN, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE BRAKING ISSUE DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND TOLD ME TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW LONG AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES THE ISSUE BEGIN AND THAT THEY WILL WORK ON IT WHEN THEY CAN FIX THE OTHER ISSUE, SO THEY ALSO DID NOT FIX THE STEERING ISSUE WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THEY DEEMED THE STEERING DAMPER FAULTY AGAIN, BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THE PARTS. WELL THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER THAT HAS HAD TO BE PARKED DUE TO IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A BACKORDER. MY SAFETY IS AT RISK EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PARK IT AND I NOW BELIEVE I HAVE A LEMON SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WE HIT SEVERAL POTHOLES. THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. WE HAD TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE SHAKING THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 7195 MILES ON IT

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAME OVER A ROUGH PATCH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS THOUGH I HAD A FLAT TIRE. STEERING LOCKED UP, AND I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, THE PREVIOUS INSTANCE, THE SHAKING STOPPED ONCE I REDUCED SPEED, THIS TIME IT CONTINUED UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP.

2019 FORD F-250 DIESEL DID THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH (ONE ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 AND AGAIN ON DECEMBER 22, 2019)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-70 MPH, ESPECIALLY OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EARNHARDT FORD (LOCATED AT 7300 W. ORCHID LN, CHANDLER, AZ 85226, 833-735-9304) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING AND SHOCK RESISTANCE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A PART CALLED THE SHIMMY SHOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 4-8 WEEKS BEFORE THEY COULD RETRIEVE THE PART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN DRIVING AT 50-55 MPH, VEHICLE HAS WENT INTO EXTREMELY VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER DRIVING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN ROAD (IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AND WITH BUMPS YOU NORMALLY WOULD NOT NOTICE OR ADJUST SPEED FOR IN A SMALL CAR). THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED OR CONTROLLED WHEN THIS OCCURS OTHER THAN APPLYING THE BRAKES. TTHE BRAKES DO NOT WORK OR STOP YOU AS FAST AS THEY SHOULD WHEN THIS HAPPENS (I AM ASSUMING DUE TO ALL THE SHAKING). LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT CAUSED ME TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED A HEAD ON COLLISION. IF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE HAD NOT REACTED TO MY TRUCK MOVING IN TO THEIR LANE WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. THEIR HAS BEEN NO RECALL BUT FORD HAS ISSUED A TECH BULLETIN ABOUT THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN LIVES LOST (IF IT HASNT ALREADY). I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR PARTS TO FIX THIS (IVE ALREADY BEEN WAITING 10 DAYS AND FORD HAS NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE AS LONG AS 60 DAYS BEFORE PARTS COME IN (UNLESS I USE LEMON LAWS TO REMEDY IT). HOW MANY 2019 F250S HAVE BEEN IN HEAD ON COLLISIONS THIS YEAR? IS THERE A STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE? HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE ARE 2-3 OTHER TRUCKS AHEAD OF MINE WAITING ON THE SAME PART. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN 7 MONTHS AND ONLY HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT,

WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SHIMMIES OUT OF CONTROL

VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 20K MILES WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE STARTED. DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH, HIT BUMPS OR BRIDGE EXPANSIONS RENDERS THE TRUCK UNCONTROLLABLE WITH THE ONLY REMEDY TO SLOW BELOW 40 MPH TO CEASE. WORST SCENARIO ALMOST SENT MY UNCONTROLLABLE TRUCK OFF THE HIGHWAY. VERY FRIGHTENING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SUPPOSE IT WILL TAKE MULTIPLE FATALITIES AND LAWSUITS BEFORE FORD TAKES THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. GETTING NOWHERE WITH FORD WARRANTY SERVICE. ABOUT TO TRADE THIS JUNK OFF FOR A DODGE.

AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH, THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING DID NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED TO LESS THAN 35 MPH.

AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WITH MY 2019 F250, AND IT HAS APPROX 8000 MILES ON IT. WENT OVER A MILD BUMP ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY, ROCKING THE VEHICLE SIDE TO SIDE, ONLY STOPPING WHEN I PULLED OVER AT THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE VIBRATES, SHAKES, AND ROCKS ALL THE TIME, WORSE THE FASTER YOU'RE GOING. SPRADLEY BARR FORD DEALERSHIP IN CHEYENNE, WY SAID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER BUT THE PART IS ON BACKORDER WITH 30,000 TRUCKS AHEAD OF MINE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND I HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME WHEN I MIGHT GET IT BACK. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO BE MAKING A GIANT MONTHLY PAYMENT ON A TRUCK THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WITH NO EXPECTED DATE WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN MY PHONE CALLS REQUESTING A LOANER VEHICLE EITHER.

THE TRUCK JUST TURNED 15,000 MILES AND HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCK TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITH MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK BECOMES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE AND YOU CAN BARELY BRAKE OR STEER WHEN THE SITUATION HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD ASAP AND HOPEFULLY NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE TRUCK NEEDS TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP THE GET THE UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING TO STOP.. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS NO FIX AND THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO GET ME IN TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING A CENTER DIVIDE. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND THE CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE. I FEAR THAT A WRECK IS EMINENT. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. A FIX IS NEEDED ASAP OR FORD NEEDS TO BUYBACK THESE FAULTY VEHICLES.

I OWN A 2019 F-250 AND WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES PER HOUR AND A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO BRAKE HARD AND THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGH I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. I HAD TO BRAKE EVEN HARDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I CALLED MY DEALER/SERVICE AND THE TECH TOLD ME "FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE WOULD ORDER THE PARTS!" FORD: IF YOU KNOW OF THE PROBLEM THEN WHY NOT DO A MASS RECALL TO SAVE LIVES?

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON ILLINOIS RT 29 NEAR PEORIA, IL, I TRAVELED OVER AN OLD SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS THAT HAVE BEEN PAVED OVER. THEY STICK UP JUST ENOUGH TO FEEL THEM WHEN YOU PASS OVER. AFTER TRAVELING OVER THESE AT 60 MPH, THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WENT INTO AN INSTABILITY INVOLVING EXTREME TIRE HOP AND SHAKING. THE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATED RAPIDLY AND STEERING FELT COMPLETELY OF CONTROL FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS. LUCKILY THIS WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY THAT REQUIRED LITTLE COURSE CORRECTION. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND TRAVELED ABOUT 300 MILES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. IT IS RELATED TO A RESONANCE CONDITION AS IT TAKES THE RIGHT SPEED AND LOADS INTO THE SUSPENSION TO CREATE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. IT IS VERY SCARY. YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS IN DETAIL.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON A PAVED HIGHWAY UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURES, ON A DRY ROAD WE DROVE OVER A BRIDGE NORMALLY. UPON CROSSING THE BRIDGE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND VEER UNCONTROLLABLY. WITH AN INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT AND THIS VEHICLE BEING FIXED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE, OUR COMPANY THINKS A RECALL IS IN ORDER. WE ALSO HAVE A SECOND FORD SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN A DRY HIGHWAY WITH A UNLOADED TRAILER. DRIVER REPORTED ALL AT ONCE A DEATH WOBBLE AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC ALMOST GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER. CRUISING AT 72 MPH ON A DRY PAVED HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND FELT AS IF IT WOULD GO OUT OF CONTROL. OUR COMPANY PURCHASED TWO WITHIN A SHORT TIME OF EACH OTHER AND THEY BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE MORE THAN ONCE AND ARE APPEARING MORE OFTEN.

THIS TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE DEALT WITH THREE DEALERSHIPS AND FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, TO NO AVAIL. WE ARE TOLD THE PART TO FIX THIS IS ON BACK LOG WITH NO EXPECTED DATE GIVEN. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS BEING BLAMED ON A STEERING STABILIZER, BUT ALSO THE FRONT AXELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. NORTH PARK LINCOLN (9207 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK FROM SANDERSON FORD IN GLENDALE AZ. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FRONT END. WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR GROVE IN THE ROAD GOING OVER 50 MPH (I WAS GOING 70MPH AND 65MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED). THE TRUCK STARTS SHIMMYING SO SEVERELY THAT I IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO COME TO A STOP TO GET THE SHIMMYING TO STOP. ONCE I STOP AND START GOING AGAIN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND BOTH TIMES HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND WAITED TWO MONTHS WITH A PART SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED AND IT HAD NOT COME IN. I THEN WENT BACK AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO MAKE THIS AN EMERGENCY ORDER. THEY DID AND IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND NO PART. I'M THINKING FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I PAID 60K FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ADDED ANOTHER 5800.00 FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACT ALL TO HAVE A VEHICLE I AM AFRAID MAY GO INTO THIS SHIMMY AT ANY TIME WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE FORD AWARE THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M FINE WITH THE TRUCK OTHERWISE BUT I NEED THIS FIXED. THIS TRUCK IS SUPPOSE TO GET ME THROUGH RETIREMENT. I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND ON REPLACING IT AS I WOULD LOSE TONS OF MONEY IF I HAD TO TRADE IT IN ALREADY. THE TRUCK HAS 9K MILES. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN EXCESSIVELY SHAKING. WE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO CAREFULLY SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO FORD FOR SERVICE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, CALLED "DEATH WOBBLES" AND SAYS THE PART NEEDED TO FIX IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ETA.

STARTING AT ABOUT 15000 MILES, THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED. WHEN GOING ANYWHERE ABOVE 55 MPH, THEN GOING OVER SEMI-ROUGH ROAD OR HITTING A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON THE FREEWAY, IT GOES INTO THIS DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATES BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES DRAMATICALLY. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20-30 MPH, IT STOPS. SPEED BACK UP AGAIN AND IT STARTS AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS THE STEERING STABILIZER THAT IS FAILING. I HAVE A CASE WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT AT. NO RESOLUTIONS AS OF YET. IT CONTINUALLY DEATH WOBBLES TODAY. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYWHERE ON GETTING IT FIXED BY FORD UNDER THE WARRANTY.

WHEN HITTING SOME BUMPS ON THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED (40 TO 80 MPH.) THE VEHICLE CAN BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO LESS THAN 10 MPH OR A COMPLETE STOP. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/YOGDZCO-L7M

2019 F250 - 28,000 MILES WHILE DRIVE APPROX. 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD, AT WHICH POINT MY TRUCK WENT INTO WHAT IS KNOWN BY MOST FORD OWNERS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" , I HAD TO SLOW TO 45 MPH TO GET MY TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL, THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD REPLACED THE "STEERING DAMPNER" AND CLAIMED THAT IT IS FIXED, FAST FWD TWO MONTHS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, AGAIN AT APPROX. 65-70 MPH THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH FORD, THERE NEEDS TO BE A FACTORY RECALL ON ALL SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SO THAT FORD CAN GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

WHEN DRIVEING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY 2019 F250 GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY IT HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK AND NOT WRECK. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO GET FIXED 3 TIMES FORD TURNED ME DOWN BY SAYING THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX IT . FINALLY AFTER MONTHS OF SETTING I GOT IT IN AND FIXED. 2000 MILES LATER IT STARTED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FORD TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. ON RANDOM OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NICKLAUS FORD (2901 HWY 44 WEST, INVERNESS, FL), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT AN ENGINEER FROM FORD WOULD INSPECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 25244969. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,400.

DRIVING AT 79 MPH ON INTERSTATE I-10 NEAR CASA GRANDE ARIZONA ON 12/29/2019 WENT OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, ON NEWER PAVEMENT SINCE THE EXPRESSWAY WAS REDONE THIS YEAR, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". SEVERE WHEEL BOUNCING AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATIONS. HAD TO RAPIDLY REDUCE SPEED TO UNDER 60 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS THE SECOND SUCH OCCURANCE ON DIFFERENT ROADS SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. MILEAGE NOW IS 16998.

WHEN HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR EXPANSION JOINT ON ROAD GOING AROUND 45 MPH OR HIGHER THE TRUCK STARTS VIBRATING REALLY BAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THE LATEST ON 12/28/2019, 3 TIMES ON MY 117 MILE TRIP. ONCE SO BAD, THAT I WAS ALMOST TAKEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND GOING INTO THE MEDIAN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TAKEN TRUCK IN SOON TO HAVE FIXED. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS STATED IN TSB # 18-2268. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, FORD IS ONLY MAKING THE PARTS WHEN NEEDED AND SOME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN WAITING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS.

ON THREE OCCASION NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AROUND 75-80 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS THANKFUL THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE NEXT TO ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT VIBRATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE DRIFTING OF THE VEHICLE INTO OTHER LANES DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOWLY LOWER MY SPEED. AS A RESULT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY THEY FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

THERE IS A SEVERE OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING SYSTEM WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, ETC. THIS IS KNOWS AS DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND CONTROL IS LOST UNTIL THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN SPEED. MINE WILL DO THIS OFTENTIMES AT 40-50MPH AND ALSO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE. FORD HAS BEEN PUTTING "BAND AID" ON THINGS TO GET IT OUT OF WARRANTY. FURTHER, I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A REDESIGNED DAMPER THAT WAS TO COME OUT LAST WEEK. IT WAS SCRAPPED AND SUPPOSED TO START OVER WITH THE VENDOR. THIS IS PER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ADVISOR AT THE FORD DEALER. IT IS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE.

IN ASHEVILLE, NC; DRIVING 2019 F250 ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE, ROUGH PAVEMENT CREATED A SEVERE SHAKING (WOBBLE) TO THE ENTIRE TRUCK. HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST STOP BEFORE SHAKING/WOBBLE CEASED. CHECKED TO ENSURE ALL TIRES WERE INFLATED AND CONTINUED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. AFTER TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 10 ADDITIONAL MILES, HIT A ROUGH BRIDGE APPROACH SLAB WHICH CAUSED THE VIOLENT SHAKING/WOBBLE TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. PULLED OFF ONCE AGAIN AND HAD TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH BEFORE SHAKING CEASED.

WAS DRIVING AND WHILE TRUCK STARTED WOBBLING BAD

TRUCK EXHIBITED SEVERE FRONT END SHAKING WHILE ACCELERATING AROUND 45MPH. APPROX 6180 MILES ON VEHICLE AT TIME OF EVENT. EVENT OCCURRED ON PAVED ROAD WITH SOME ROUGH PATCHES. SHAKING WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT AND PERSISTED, CAUSING ME TO RAPIDLY BRAKE. SYMPTOMS SUBSIDE AFTER DROPPING SPEED TO 20MPH OR SO. DROVE A FEW HUNDRED YARDS TO SHOULDER. STOPPED AND VISUALLY INSPECTED TIRES AND UNDER CARRIAGE FOR LOOSE HARDWARE. NO PROBLEMS OBSERVED. DROVE ANOTHER 15 MILES TO A LOCATION WHERE I COULD GET UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK TO BETTER INSPECT. FURTHER INSPECTION DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING LOOSE OR WORN.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, WE WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH SEEMINGLY TRIGGERED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL/SUSPENSION. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD TO MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHILE THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUED). THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK AS A CERTIFIED FORD FROM A LOCAL DEALER AT 16,500 MILES JUST 2 DAYS PRIOR. A RELATIVE WAS FOLLOWING US AND FOLLOWED US TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SAID TO ME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. HE IS A HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANIC AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING AND MAINTAINING THEIR SUPER DUTY FLEET. I WAS OBVIOUSLY DRY CONCERNED THAT MY NEW (TO ME) $50,000 TRUCK HAD THIS PROBLEM KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. ANYWAY, WE MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION DRIVING AT 55MPH AND ON THE WAY HOME THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES, NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS EVERY TIME. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND RETURNED IT. THE DEALER WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR THE TRUCK AND REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK. AFTER READING VARIOUS BLOGS, GETTING THIS TRUCK REPAIRED WAS A LONG EVEN AND NO ONE SEEMED TO HAVE THE EXACT FIX. I WASN'T WILLING TO ENDURE THIS AND PHONED MY BANK AND.STOPPED THEM FROM FUNDING THE LOAN. THE FACT THAT A TRUCK HAS AN ISSUE KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A TESTAMENT TO THE DIRE NEED TO FORCE A FIX/RECALL BEFORE THIS ENGINEERING/MANUFAC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, IT EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BY BRAKING, PULLED OVER, AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS. JOE MACHENS FORD (1911 W WORLEY ST, COLUMBIA, MO 65203, (573) 445-4411) WAS CONTACTED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND START TO HIT A MINOR BUMP THE TRUCKS STEERING STARTS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I HAVE TO COME TO A STOP TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. IT'S DANGEROUS AND THE DEALER SAID PARTS ARE IN ORDER BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH AND THAT IT'S OK TO DRIVE. IT'S NOT!!! I LIKE TO GOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE STEERING IS HORRIBLE AND FEELS LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL!

ON DECEMBER 21, 2019, THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM 65 TO 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER ENCOUNTERING BRIDGE ABUTMENTS AND TRANSVERSE CRACKING/WEATHERING IN THE PAVEMENT. THE VIOLENT SHAKING COULD ONLY BE STOPPED BY RAPID DECELERATION CREATING EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF AS THE DRIVE AND OTHER MOTORIST AROUND ME. THE VEHICLE HAS 10,300 MILES ON IT. THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AS NOW CALL IT, STARTED OCCURRING INFREQUENTLY AT AROUND 8000 MILES. THE FREQUENCY IS INCREASING WHICH CULMINATED IN REACHING OUT TO NHSA AFTER HAVING IT OCCUR 5 TIMES YESTERDAY. MY GIRLFRIEND HAS STATED SHE WILL NOT RIDE IN THE TRUCK ANYMORE.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE IN F250. WHEN DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AND HIT A VERY SLIGHT ROAD IMPERFECTION. STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY. FELT LIKE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR THE SHAKING TO END. HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS CALLED 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. PARTS ARE APPARENTLY ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED DATE OF AVAILABILITY. VERY SCARY INCIDENT AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE CASES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.
