2019 Ford F-250 SD complaints

DRIVING AROUND 45 MILES AN HOUR, HIT A BUMP AND THE WHOLE STEERING SYSTEM WENT INTO A WOBBLE THAT I COULDN'T STOP UNTIL I CAME TO ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NEVER HAPPENED THIS BAD BEFORE BUT ON OCCASION WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OVER AN OVERPASS ON A FREEWAY WOULD WOBBLE FOR COUPLE SECONDS AND OUT BRIEFLY LOSE LITTLE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE ONE YESTERDAY ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. THIS LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. COULD HAVE HAD A COLLISION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC

THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ON OCTOBER FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND ONLY ON ONE OCCASION. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DECEMBER 18 AND 20TH. THIS TIME 3 TIMES ON THE 18TH AND TWICE ON THE 20TH. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 288 NORTH FROM MANVEL TX TO HOUSTON TX AFTER WORK. WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 65 MILES PER HOUR AND CAME ACROSS AN IMPERFECTION ON THE ROAD, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY, ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MILES PER HR, THIS HAPPENED WHILE TOWING 4 THOUSAND LB TRAILER. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE 18TH AS WE WERE GETTING CLOSER TO HOUSTON. WE WENT OVER ANOTHER ROAD IMPERFECTION AND AGAIN IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKES UP AND DOWN SIDE TO SIDE AND YOU CAN SEE THE TRUCK SHAKE AND TRANSFERS THE VIBRATION TO THE HEADLIGHTS. THE VIBRATION WAS ALSO FELT ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT FEELS LIKE I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. ONLY WAY I GOT IT TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN DRAMATICALLY TO AROUND 40MPH AND BELOW.

HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FORD'S "DEATH WOBBLE" NUMEROUS TIMES. VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WITH APPROX 20K MILES. NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE DATE. TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 & 75MPH, AND IF TRUCK ENCOUNTERS ANY DEVIATION IN ROAD (SMALL HOLE, BUMP, ETC), DEATH WOBBLE CAN OCCUR. FRONT SUSPENSION CAUSES SEVERE VIBRATION; STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WHEN TRAVELING AT THOSE SPEEDS. MUST BRAKE TO LOWER SPEED OR PULL OVER AND STOP COMPLETELY DEPENDING ON SEVERITY OF SHAKING. HAVE REPORTED THIS TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ON 12/11/19; THEY SEEM WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE. WAS TOLD PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE ON BACK-ORDER BUT SHOULD HAVE THEM IN 4-6 WEEKS. NOTE: THE DATE INDICATED BELOW IN WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN IS ROUGHLY WHEN THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED. HAVE HAD AT LEAST 15 INCIDENTS SINCE THEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO ALERT YOU TO A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS OCCURRING ON THOUSANDS OF LATE MODEL FORD F250 PICKUP TRUCKS. THE ISSUE IS BEING CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE." THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WHEN THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS POT HOLES OR OTHER IRREGULARITIES SUCH AS RAILROAD TRACKS, IT WILL LOSE STEERING CONTROL WHICH RESULTS IN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIOLENTLY. FORD IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. RATHER THAN ACCEPTING THE PROBLEM AS A DESIGN DEFECT, THEY APPARENTLY ARE ATTEMPTING TO BLAME IT ON WORN STEERING PARTS THEREBY TREATING IT AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM, MUCH LIKE A REQUIREMENT TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES. HOWEVER, IN REALITY THIS IS NOT THE CASE. MY NEW VEHICLE WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 3,000 MILES WHEN I ENCOUNTERED A ROUGH SECTION OF HIGHWAY GOING AROUND A CORNER AND THE STEERING WHEEL NEARLY CAM FREE FROM MY HANDS AND STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING MAKING ME FEEL ALMOST CERTAIN I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS, THE SHAKING STARTED TO SUBSIDE AND I REGAINED CONTROL CURRENTLY, THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO APPEAR WHENEVER I ENCOUNTER POOR PAVEMENT CONDITIONS, IN WHICH I IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO MINIMIZE THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' YOU CAN VERY EASILY VALIDATE MY CLAIM MY DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 'FORD F250 DEATH WOBBLE.' AS I HAVE JUST RECENTLY LEARNED, COUNTLESS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I'VE CONTACTED SEVERAL LOCAL FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND LEARNED THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F250 SUPER-DUTY ON 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN CLEAR WEATHER I DROVE THROUGH A DIP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND OSCULATING FROM SIDE TO SIDE . I HAD TO GRIP AND IMMEDIATELY GRIP AND START TO BRAKE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I SLOWED TO GET IT TO STOP AND PROCEEDED ON WITH CAUTION. THIS TRUCK HAS 19305 MILES SHOWING WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY FAMILY IN MY NEW TRUCK.

HAD 5 INCIDENTS OCCUR WITH "DEATH WOBBLE". STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 8500 MILES AT 65 MPH. HAD TO SLOW VEHICLE TO 55-60 MPH TO STOP SHAKING. HAD SHAKING OCCUR AT 65, 70, 75 AND 80 MPH. HITTING SLIGHT PAVEMENT BUMPS ON ROADS/FREEWAYS AND PAVEMENT TO BRIDGE TRANSITIONS. RECORDED ONE INCIDENT ON VIDEO WITH PASSENGER. TOOK VEHICLE IN AND STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED WITH RANCHO BRAND DUE TO BACK ORDER OF PARTS.SEEMS TO ONLY RESOLVED ISSUE TEMPORARY AS THE SHAKING IS COMING BACK AGAIN. WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TRUCK NOW, HAD TO INVEST IN ANOTHER SAFER VEHICLE DUE TO THIS F250. HAPPENED ONCE WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED AND NEARLY CAUSED US TO GET REAR ENDED BY A SEMI ON THE FREEWAY.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE IT INITIATES EXTREMELY SEVERE SHAKING/WOBBLE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE TRUCK. THE SHAKING/WOBBLE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. THE TRUCK IS 11 MONTHS OLD. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST EVENT WAS IN OCTOBER 2019 AT 17,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THE LAST TIME IN DECEMBER 2019 WITH 20,400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME FROM A SHOPPING TRIP LATE ONE SATURDAY EVENING. WE WERE ON A TEXAS FARM TO MARKET ROAD DRIVING APPX. 65 MPH. WE HIT A SMALL ROUGH PLACE IN THE ROAD AND TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES. I HAD TO ALMOST STOP IN THE ROAD BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING, IT WAS UNSTEERABLE WHILE IT WAS SHAKING. WHEN WE FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE FRONT END. I COULD SEE NOTHING WRONG SO WE FINISHED OUR TRIP HOME ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH. WHEN WE GOT HOME I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND OUT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM (DEATH WOBBLE) I DROVE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY HANDED ME A PREPRINTED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #19-2274 DATED 10 SEPTEMBER 2019 AND BASICALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL FORD CAME UP WITH ANOTHER FIX. APPARENTLY THIS SERVICE BULLETIN DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM . THIS WAS ON 16 DECEMBER 2019. PLEASE HELP!

TRUCK FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING AN IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACE OR EXPANSION JOINT DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS - THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE TO SPEEDS AROUND 20 MPH TO STOP THE "WOBBLE" AND RESUME DRIVING - THIS PRESENTS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS CONDITION DUE TO HAVING TO BRAKE SO ABRUPTLY AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION FOR OTHER CARS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A WARM, CLEAR, DRY DAY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD. I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, FRONT TIRE. AT THAT EXACT MOMENT, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO "BOUNCE" RAPIDLY. THE MORE PRESSURE I APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, THE LESS CONTROL I HAD STOPPING THE "BOUNCE". IN ORDER TO GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, I HAD TO SOFTLY APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE, WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING FIRM STEERING WHEEL CONTROL, UNTIL THE TRUCK CAME TO AN ABSOLUTE STOP. ON THAT SAME DRIVE HOME, NOW AT A SPEED OF 70 MILES PER HOUR, AND ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED OCCURRENCE, I RAN ACROSS AN EXPANSION JOINT OF A BRIDGE AND ROAD, THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AGAIN FOR A SECOND TIME. THE SAME MANEUVERS AS PREVIOUSLY STATED WERE USED TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR THIS SECOND TIME. EACH OCCURRENCE TOOK APPROXIMATELY 200 YARD FROM START OF BOUNCE TO COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WAS QUICKLY TAKEN TO A TIRE/ALIGNMENT SHOP FOR REPAIR, IF NEEDED, HOWEVER THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE TRUCK DID NOT NEED AN ALIGNMENT, THOUGH THEY DID ROTATE THE TIRES. THE REPAIR SHOP ALSO STATED THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOW KNOW AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE", AND SUGGESTED REACHING OUT TO FORD FOR SUGGESTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT'S COMPANY OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND HIGHER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER SPEED HUMPS AND POTHOLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTH COUNTY FORD (LOCATED AT 450 W VISTA WAY, VISTA, CA 9208, 888-689-6190) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNSURE IF THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TRUCK VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP SHAKING. THE VIOLENT SHAKING ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TRUCK IS ABOVE 45MPH. SHAKING COMES ON SUDDENLY AND FEELS LIKE IT VEERS TO THE LEFT. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELTS STAYING LATCHED AND THEY WILL NOT HOLD THE CAR SEATS IN PLACE, I HAVE 2 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN THAT RIDES IN MY VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT SAFE FOR THEM TO BE IN MY VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THIS OCCURED BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND CONTINUES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

HIT BUMP ON HIGHWAY AND GET TERRIBLE DEATH WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT YOU HAVE TO MOVE OVER AND SLOW DOWN WHEN IT'S SAFE TOO.

ON 12/14/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:25 PM CENTRAL TIME, WE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN OUR 2019 FORD F-250 6.2L V8 WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ALONG I-35 IN SOUTHERN KANSAS BY MILE MARKER 31.6, JUST NORTH OF THE KS/OK STATE LINE. THE AIR TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 39 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE BED OF THE PICKUP (WITH TONNEAU COVER) WAS EMPTY AND WITHOUT LOAD. THE HIGHWAY AT THAT SEGMENT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT THERE WAS A REGULAR EXPANSION JOINT ACROSS BOTH LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 77 MPH ON THE OUTSIDE (RIGHT) LANE WHEN WE CROSSED THE JOINT. AT THAT POINT, THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BEGAN. THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL, GENTLY APPLIED THE BREAKS, AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE TOWARD THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE WOBBLE CONTINUED AND DID NOT CEASE UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER GATHER OUR BEARINGS, WE REENTERED TRAFFIC. WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES WE TRAVELED HOME. HOWEVER, ONCE ENTERING OKLAHOMA, WHERE THE HIGHWAY IS SIGNIFICANTLY IN GREATER ILL-REPAIR, THE DRIVER CONTINUED WITH CAUTION AT A SPEED NO GREATER THAN 70 MPH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL.

I WAS DRIVING OVER 55 MPH, I HIT A BUMP CREATED BY THE TRANSITION IN THE ROAD SURFACE FROM ASPHALT ROAD TO CONCRETE BRIDGE. MY VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEN WAS GOING UP AND DOWN, COULD NOT CONTROL TRUCK IN CURVE, NEAR HIT BRIDGE RETAINING WALL. HAD TO HIT BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, THEN VEHICLE QUIT SHAKING AND I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK

AT HWY SPEEDS HITTING A SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY HAVE TO FIND A SPOT TO SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN TO GAIN CONTROL AGAIN DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S FINE. CAN'T STEER IT AND LOSE CONTROL IF YOU CAN'T STOP QUICKLY . THIS HAS HAPPEN ON HWY AND MAJOR BUSY INTERSTATES MY TRUCK IS NOT THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS I KNOW OF SEVERAL F250 SUPERDUTY TRUCKS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE .IT HAPPEN ANY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK SO I HAVE PARKED IT FOR NOW . STARTED IN OCTOBER 18,000 MILES TRUCK ONLY HAS 29,000 ON IT NOW BUT STOPPED DRIVING IT BEFORE I KILL MY SELF OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING

VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS(70+MPH) WHEN HITTING ROUGH AREAS OR ENTERING BRIDGES. TODAY WE ALMOST HIT A BRIDGE WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE MONTH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED AND FIGHT STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS. VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THIS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH OTHER TRAFFIC. IT BEGAN DOING THIS 6 WEEKS AGO AT NEAR 8,000 TOTAL MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP TWICE FOR THIS IN 3 WEEKS AND IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK MONDAY. THEY REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER THE FIRST TIME, ALIGNMENT THE SECOND TIME, IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FRONT END LIFTED MONDAY. VEHICLE IS 100% STOCK. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND TOLD THEM THEY COULD KEEP IT. IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO FOR US TO TRADE IT WE PLAN ON GETTING A LAWSUIT STARTED AGAINST THEM. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BUT ARE LIMITED BY FORD ON WHAT THEY CAN DO, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY TIMES IT IS BROUGHT IN TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID THEY CAN REPLACE ALL THE PARTS AT ONCE TO FIX IT BUT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BY FORD AND ARE FORCED TO DO IT IN STEPS. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANTS AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENS. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED BETWEEN 7500 AND 9300 MILES.

TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY. 75 MPH. ROAD CONDITIONS SMOOTH PAVEMENT, CLEAR, DRY, NIGHT. TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND VEERED INTO LEFT LANE. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET SHAKING TO STOP. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. *TR

MY F250 IS EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY CALL THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT AND BASICALLY SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH IT. NO OFFER FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE OR ANYTHING. I WAS DRIVING ON I20/59 BETWEEN EXIT 8 AND 68 WHEN IT HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SO FAR. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT MY PASSENGER REFUSED TO RIDE AGAIN. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THIS UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO 45 MPH. WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL OUR VACATION FOR CHRISTMAS BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED OF THE VEHICLE. PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK TO BE WORRIED ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STEERING WAS TERRIBLY IMPAIRED. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SLOW TO 30MPH TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.MY FORD TRUCK HAS ONLY 22,000 MILES. MY 2012 FORD TRUCK DID THE SAME THING AT 100,000 MILES.

CENTER LANE OF INTERSTATE AT 70MPH WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER UNTIL SLOWING TO 30MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2X IN 2 DAYS. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE STEERING DAMPER BUT THAT PROBLEM WILL RETURN. FORCE FORD TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

DRIVING ON A FREEWAY THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AS IF WE WERE DRIVING ON THE WORST ROAD POSSIBLE AND ALL 4 TIRES HAD JUST BLOWN OUT. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN UNTIL WE COULD PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP. DURING OUR TRIP, THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE 2 DAYS WE TRAVELED. WE WERE ABLE TO FINALLY RETURN HOME AND TAKE THE TRUCK TO OUR FORD DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A "TEMPORARY" FIX TO CHANGE THE "STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER" BUT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE PART COMES IN. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT. WE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR YEARS ON THE F250 AND F350, YET I WAS SOLD THIS VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION OR MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND WILL LEAD TO SOMEONE HAVING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V864000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAILGATE CONTIOUSLY OPENED. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND PULLING A TRAILER, THE TAIL GATE OPENED AND STRUCK THE TRAILER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROSSROADS FORD OF INDIAN TRAIL (88 DALE JARRETT BLVD, INDIAN TRAIL, NC 28079, (704) 283-8521) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS FULL OF WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS25131842-R4K3S7, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,100.

MY FORD HAS 14300 MILES ON IT. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 12-7-19 AROUND 55 -65MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKING CAUSED PASSENGERS COFFEE CUPS TO SLOSH OUT OF THEIR CUPS IT WAS SO VIOLENT. THIS OCCURRED ON US HWY 79 NEAR HUTTO TEXAS AROUND 8 PM IN THE EVENING.

TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON HIGHWAY AND PULLED ME OUT OF MY LANE. DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED NEWBERRY FAMILY MOTORS (LOCATED AT 126 E B AVE, KINGMAN, KS 67068, (620) 532-3181) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

PURCHASED A 2019 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY, SUPER CREW CAB, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. DROVE GREAT UNTIL 21K MILES. THE NOTORIOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" COMMON TO THESE TRUCKS HAS STARTED. DRIVING I-25 LAST NIGHT, TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE AT 75 MPH WITH LOSS OF ANY CONTROL. IMMEDIATELY LET UP ON THE THROTTLE AND ALLOWED THE TRUCK TO SLOW UNDER 50 MPH AND THE WOBBLE CORRECTED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WITH BALL JOINTS, SUSPENSION, ETC. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. A RELATIVELY NEW TRUCK WITH 20K MILES SHOULD BE JUST BREAKING IN, NOT BROKEN. A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF NOT RECTIFIED.

2019 F250, APPROX. 13K MILES. TRAVELLING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY 60-65 MPH AND TRUCK ENTERED INTO THE WELL KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE" OR RAPID, RHYTHMIC, DANGEROUS OSCILLATION OF THE FRONT TIRES CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO 10-15 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES WITHIN 2 CONSECUTIVE TIMES OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE SAME WEEK. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CONFIRMED "DEATH WOBBLE". THE PART (STEERING DAMPENER) THEY AUTOMATICALLY PRESCRIBE (TSB 19-2274) TO FIX THIS IS ON BACK ORDER 4-6 WEEKS AND WE WERE TOLD "NO LOANER" AND BRING THE TRUCK BACK WHEN THE PART IS IN. WE SAID "SO, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE OUR FAMILY AROUND IN A TRUCK THAT IS BASICALLY NEW WITH A DEATH WOBBLE?" TO WHICH THE SERVICE MANAGER RESPONDED "YEAH, I KNOW, CRAZY ISN'T IT?". WE ALREADY KNOW THAT TSB 19-2274 IS A BAND AID AND NOT A REAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. MOST WHO GET TSB 19-2274 DONE ARE BACK WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES OR SOONER BECAUSE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED, BECAUSE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. WE HAVE A VIDEO OF OUR LOOSE TIE ROD ENDS CLUNKING AND LIFTING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED LEFT AND RIGHT. WE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THESE LOOSE PARTS - NOTHING WAS LOOKED AT OR RECOMMENDED TO BE DONE REGARDING THESE LOOSE PARTS. WE HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IN EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN 2017-2019 MODELS. MOST "VICTIMS" OF THIS PROBLEM END UP IN AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF TRIP

I HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAPPENS WHEN GOING ABOVE 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. USUALLY NEAR A BRIDGE OR OVERPASS. THE VEHICLE STEERING BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK BEGIN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 6100 MILES ON AN INTERSTATE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS GOING 70 MPH. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DRY, NO WIND OR RAIN, AND THE ROAD CONDITION WAS SMOOTH. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, IT SURPRISED ME AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE STEERING COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. MY TRUCK VEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TOWARDS AN 18 WHEELER. I MANAGED TO STEER OUT OF THEIR WAY ON TO THE MEDIAN AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. THE SECOND TIME WAS A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS GOING 65 MPH. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO BOB UTTER FORD IN SHERMAN TEXAS AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR LAUGHED AT ME AND TOLD ME I HAD "DEATH WOBBLE". HE WROTE MY NAME IN A SPIRAL NOTEBOOK AND THEN TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. HE STATED FORD HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME BUT THAT MY COMPLAINT WAS IN WRITING AND IF SOMETHING COMES FROM FORD, HE WILL GIVE ME A CALL. SO I ASKED WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE MEANTIME. HE STATED, DO NOT DRIVE OVER 45 MPH UNTIL FORD COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION. THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T CALL IT DEATH WOBBLE, THEY CALL IT STEERING WOBBLE AND THEY AREN'T REAL GOOD AT COMING UP WITH A FIX YET. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 8100 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE EXPERIE

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW TO 30MPH UNTIL IT STOPPED WOBBLING.

I HAVE HAD A VERY DANGEROUS VIBRATION THAT OCCURS IN THE FRONT END OF A VEHICLE. WHEN MY 2019 F250 HAS EXPERIENCES DEATH WOBBLE, THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM RAPIDLY TURNS BACK AND FORTH, MAKING CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD. IT NORMALLY ACCUSES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH TO 80 MPH. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED AT AROUND 9,000 MILES.

I HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE DAY 1. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES YET TO BE FIXED. IF I DRIVE AT A SPEED HIGHER THEN 40 MPH AND HIT A BUMP, POTHOLE, OR BRIDGE TRANSITION, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY VIBRATES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND CAUSES ME TO SKIP INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND OTHER LANES

UPON REACHING HIGHWAY SPEEDS(APPROXIMATELY 55-75MPH) THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THIS ISSUE STARTED AS MERE OFF TRACKING OF THE FRONT END, THE TRUCK WOULD STEER ITSELF. THIS ENDED UP PROGRESSING INTO SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT IT DROVE ITSELF OFF THE ROAD. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, AND STEERING CONTROL IS GONE. I WOUND UP IN A DITCH ON MY FOURTH EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VIOLENT SHAKE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT (BUMP). CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL AND CROSSING 3 LANES INCLUDING THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER. VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE GRASS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. SHAKING CONTINUED UNTIL VEHICLE WAS BELOW 20 MPH. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN NOV 2019 AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE TIRES AND ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT IS FACTORY ORIGINAL, NOTHING HAS BEEN ADDED OR CHANGED. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH TSB 19-2274.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT HAD TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 40 TO 45 MPH AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARAWAY FORD (140 EAST SARAH DEWTT DRIVE, DALLAS, TX 78629, (830) 762-9646). THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A NEW PART THAT WOULD CORRECT THE WOBBLING. THE DEALER ORDERED THE PART, BUT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: (XXX). THE FAILURE WAS MILEAGE WAS 11,000. *LN ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB

THIS VEHICLE AND MANY MORE LIKE IT ARE EXPERIENCING WHAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS CALLING SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION , WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY A DEATH WOBBLE THAT IF NOT GOTTEN UNDER CONTROL IMMEDIATELY WILL LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL, WHICH MAY INVOLVE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, FORD ADDRESS THIS IN TSB 19-2274 HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. . I DO NOT PERSONALLY OWN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES BUT I AS A SERVICE MANAGER AT A FORD DEALER HAVE SEEN THAT PROBLEM FIRST HAND OVER AND OVER . THERE IS NO RELIABLE AVENUE FOR US TO CONTACT FORD FOR THEM TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY SO I HOPE THIS WILL NOT FALL ON DEAF EARS AND ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO PREVENT POSSIBLE WRECKS AND FATALITIES . [XXX] BEING THAT I AM A MANAGER AT A FORD DEALER I WISH TO HAVE MY IDENTITY PROTECTED DUE TO POSSIBLE BACKLASH OVER THIS REPORT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *PM *TR

PURCHASED THIS 2019 F250 3/4 TON HEAVY DUTY LONG BOX IN MAY. IT HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE 4 TIMES NOW, THREE TIMES INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DRY SMOOTH PAVEMENT GOING AT 65 MPH OR BETTER, ONCE TOWING A LIVING QUARTERS HORSE TRAILER ON ICY ROADS. THE DEALER NOW HAS THE TRUCK FOR AN "UNDETERMINED" TIME AS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE LISTENED TO AND READ A LOT OF YOUTUBE AND THREADS THAT THIS S A MOJOR PROBLEM AND FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DON. THEY ISSUE A RECALL ON A TAIL GATE OR SEAT PROBLEM BUT NOT ON SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THEE FRONT END SUDDENLY BECOMING SO DANGEROUS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND BOUNCING ALL OVER THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT......... WHY FORD THE DEALER INSTALLED AFTERMARKET STABILIZERS, DIND'T HELP, THEN FORD PRODUCT STABILIZERS AND IT STILL DIDN'T HELP, NOW IT'S IN THE SHOP TILL WHO KNOWS WHEN. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF WHEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN.

I NOTICED THE WOBBLING WHEN I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT I WAS TOO BUSY AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT NEED AN ALIGNMENT. IT WAS GETTING WORSE. ON 11/18/2019, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP IN THE INTERSTATE, THE FRONT END STARTED WOBBLING VERY BADLY. I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE OFTEN.I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM. THEY SAID IT WAS A DAMPER ASSEMBLY DEFAULT. THEY TOLD ME THIS DEFAULT DAMPER ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE A RECALL, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED BY THE AUTHORIZED AUTHORITY SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPLACED. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE SINCE I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEFAULT PART IS ON BACK ORDERED. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY. THEY SAID THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL 12/17 OR LATER.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AFTER WE JUST PURCHASED OUR NEW F250 SUPER DUTY WE ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO US AND WENT IN TO A DITCH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF AROUND 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING DOWN THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT MAINTAIN THE TRUCK IN MY OWN LANE ALMOST CAUSING A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HAD TO CALL FAMILY MEMBERS TO COME PICK UP MY FAMILY WHICH WAS 2 HOURS AWAY FROM OUR HOME BECAUSE THEY WERE CRYING AND SCARED TO RIDE IN OUR NEW TRUCK WE JUST PURCHASED. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE SO I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND MADE SURE ALL LUG NUTS WERE TIGHT WHLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. TURNS OUT AFTER RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM!!. I WANT THIS REPAIRED BY A DEALERSHIP BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE AS OF NOW THIS IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE AND COULD GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

EVERY TIME I HIT A SPEED BUMP THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH ALL MY STRENGTH.

DRIVING THE TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. WE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END. I SLOWED THE TRUCK TO A STOP, WAITED A MINUTE AND BEGAN DRIVING, THE SHAKING WAS GONE AND DID NOT RETURN. WE DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER BUMPS BEFORE WE GOT HOME.

ON DECEMBER 7TH, 2019, TWO SEPARATE OCCURRENCES OF VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKE/SHIMMY. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 45/50MPH ON A FLAT RURAL ROAD. THROUGH FOLLOWING RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F250'S AND THAT IT'S TITLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'.

TAILGATE OPENS UNEXPECTITALY. HAPPENS AT REST AND WHILE MOVING. DON'T KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED UNTIL EXITING THE VEHICLE OR PUTTING IN REVERSE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING AND TRUCK BECAME UNDERIVABLE. THE COMMON TERM FOR THIS IS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUES 5-6 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS.

WHEN DRIVING THE FRONT WHEELS SHAKE WHEN I HIT BUMPS

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK IN CITY OR HIGHWAY IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR BRIDGE THE STEERING WARBLES SOME TIME VERY VILLAIN. THIS MAKE IT VERY SCARY TO DRIVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACE THE TIE ROD AND DAMPER AND THE STEERING STILL HAS THE SAME THING.

UNCONTROLLALBE WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON OVERPASSES,OR VERY ROUGH SPOTS IN THE ROADWAY, OR BRIDGE CROSSINGS. THIS HAS OCCURED TO ME FOUR TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, & AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60MPH - 80MPH. EACH TIME WAS A VERY HAIR RAISING SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. ALSO EACH TIME WHILE TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL YOU HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GET IT TO STOP THE SEVERE WOBBLE, & WHEN I SAY SEVERE WOBBLE IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE GOING TO COME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS PUT ME IN DANGER , BUT IT PUTS EVERYONE ELSE IN DANGER THAT IS AROUND ME AT THE TIME THIS OCCURS. I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IN THE WINTER TIME WE CAN SEE A LOT OF SLICK ROADWAYS, & I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THIS IF IT HAPPENS TO ME IN THESE CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE UNDER GOOD FAITH FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO BE A SOUND VEHICLE, HOW CAN I EVEN PUT MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS IN IT WHEN I KNOW IT MIGHT GET THEM HARMED OR EVEN KILLED IF THIS OCCURS.

WHILE DRIVING OVER 60MPH IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR ON AN INTERSTATE WITH 3-5 LANES OF CARS AND HAVE TO TRY AND STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. FIRST NOTICED IN SEPT AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 2 TIMES GOING IN FOR THE 3RD TIME ON DEC 6,2019

ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TRAVELING ON PAVED ROADS AT SPEEDS FROM ABOUT 50-75 THE RIGHT FRONT (1 TIME, 10/17/19) AND THE LEFT FRONT (4 TIMES, 3 ON 10/31/19 AND 1 ON 11/15/19) TIRES BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE...IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS COMING APART...THIS WAS EVIDENTLY CAUSED/SET OFF BY RELATIVELY MINOR BUMPS/RIPPLES IN THE ROAD. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND DIE OR KILL SOMEONE, BUT FORTUNATELY I'VE BEEN DRIVING OVER 40 YEARS SO I MANAGED TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT IN MY LANE AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY FORD THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A "FRONT DAMPENER" OR SOMETHING..LEADING TO WHAT MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN IS KNOWN AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE"...PERFECT NAME...FORD IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE WITH THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND HAVE A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON "HELPING"....BUT FORD EVIDENTLY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM (THAT'S WHAT THE FORD MECHANIC SAID) AND THEY ARE NOT SHIPPING ANY PARTS TO THE DEALERS....MY DEALER IS WAITING ON ABOUT 10 PARTS PACKAGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WHILE....I AM BEHIND MOST OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE. THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THERE ARE OVER 2,000 PEOPLE WAITING FOR THESE PARTS, I SUSPECT MANY MORE GIVEN HOW MANY ARE A PROBLEM AT THE SMALL DEALERSHIP I USE, WITH ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED ACTUALLY GOING OUT TO DEALERS. IN THE MEANTIME MYSELF AND THE OTHER 2,000 OR SO PEOPLE, AT LEAST, ARE DRIVING THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES
