2019 Ford F-250 SD complaints

I'm Experiencing with what several mechanics call a "Death Wobble". That is to say when I'm driving the vehicle and I hit a pothole or bump in the road Fifty five miles an hour or faster, the steering wheel and suspension shakes violently and and I have lost some control momentarily. I need to know whether or not there's been a recall for the 2019 Ford F250 crew cab lariat. My concern is the steering dampener, pitman arm and any other front end suspension linkage for the steering and suspension assembly is malfunctioning and needs to be recalled.

When traveling on the highway at about 60-65 mph and hit a bump. The front end started to shake violently. I believe this is know as the F250 death wobble. I was able to slow down and it stopped, but almost went into the Jersey barrier. I went to the Ford dealer I bought the truck from and they have ordered parts to fix this issue. (Hopefully). The mileage on the Truck is 20,500. This occurred on 3/21/23. There were no warning lights or other symptoms before this incident.

During a daily regular drive, the steering wheel was wobbling and driver was unable to take control over the vehicle, the vehicle took a longer than expected time to be stopped and almost cause an accident. Vehicle was taken to dealer service, nothing was found.

When driving on the highway, if I drive over a rough spot, bridge abutment, pot hole etc, sometimes the truck will begin to shake violently. Usually the shaking will only stop if I slow down to below 35 mph. This issue seems to be worse when towing a trailer. I have had the steering damper replaced by Ford 2 times. The issue usually gets better for 10-15,000 miles and then will get worse. First starting with a slight "wiggle" or looseness in the steering wheel. Then after a couple thousand more miles death wobble will start to occur.

Foggy back up lens since purchase in 2019. Progressively getting worse. Now can NOT see anything on the back up camera image. Received a recall notice in this issue from Ford in Sept of 2022. (Recall notice - 22S51). As of today, 10 March 2023, the part to repair the problem is still not available. This is an unreasonable amount of time to have this issue resolved. I request Ford replace with a newer back-up camera and lens to correct this. Please help and advise. Thanks.

Death Wobble. At approximately 20,000 miles it began to experience the 'death wobble' routinely. An internet search uncovered the problem. The vehicle now has 20,400 miles on it and routinely goes into the wobble on the highway - (3 times on 04MAR23 driving from Orange County, CA to Barstow, CA.) The wobble does not stop until you pull over and come to a complete stop.

My lug nuts have swollen and cannot be removed using the proper size socket. The chrome outer coating is separating from the inner steel lug nut. This means that the chrome coating could fall off and cause an imbalance on each wheel which could lead to disastrous effects including the lugs breaking off and causing a tire to come off.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V644000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted repeatedly and confirmed each time that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

My truck has the death wobble. It's is very scary and I have almost had several accidents because of it. It has shook so violently when I have hit 40 mph even. It usually happens when I go 60 mph. I have not taken it to the dealership yet. No warning lights are on either.

FORD “Death Wobble” on the Super Duty trucks. The damper. When traveling over 60+ mph and the truck hits a bump/groove the truck wobbles and the steering is hard to control. The truck has to come to a slower rate or a complete stop for it to stop wobbling. It could cause an accident with other vehicles if you aren’t experienced. It is at a dealership to get fixed. This is an ongoing problem with Ford Super Duties and Ford is not standing behind their product. I do not feel like this is a customers responsibility. No warning was given. It is very dangerous.

Driving on the highway and I hit an uneven spot and started to vigourly shake. I had to slow down to make it stop. Very dangerous and hard to control

On 11/26/22 while driving on the interstate at approx 65-70 mph, my left front tire hit a bump in the road. This caused my truck to violently shake side to side with the front axle. The shaking was so extreme that i thought i was in an accident and could barely hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking only stopped when I reduced speed to about 5 mph. I was almost rearended by a vehicle behind me. Then again on Sunday 1/22/23 it happened again while traveling on the interstate at the same speeds. I notified my dealer (Bozard Ford) and they inspected it and said there was an extended warranty and they replaced a steering part. I now see that this "Death Wobble" is an issue for many. I'm glad I was not killed due to this uncorrected flaw by Ford. No warning lights in these two incidents.

While driving 45 miles an hour down a 3 lane highway I hit a pothole with the left front tire only the truck started to shake uncontrollably I had a hard time keeping it straight and veered into the left lane had to aggressively apply the brakes To get the vehicle to stop causing the vehicle behind me to swerve into the other lane no accidents occurred fortunately This is the 1st time it has happened and the truck did not show any signs of warning or issues. Once I got to a safe place to get out I looked around the truck but could not find any wrong. I will have it inspected by Ford.

When going over 60 and hit a bump or pot hole or ripples I’m the rode and ect, the tires and steering wheels start shake oh i controllable have to slow down immediately to under 30 miles per hour. This happens when on the highway or any road and Safety is at risk because you can not control the steering during this time and those you from lane to lane and even worse if having a trailer. Also safety at risk cause have to slow down right then and there and hope no cars are around you : You lose all control of steering when this happens / Looking in line it is know issue with Ford f250 and was a recall but I don’t see a recall on my truck. It shows it is called death wobble. I paid more for this truck than any vehicle I have had and scared to drive it and really scared of o have my family and grandkids in the truck with me. Not working lights are anything come in it just happens really fast .

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the rearview camera displayed a foggy image. The dealer and Murray Ford of Kingsland (2030 GA-40, Kingsland, GA 31548) were made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired.

At speeds above 50 mph when you go over uneven road surfaces there is tremendous shaking with the steering to the point that almost leads to uncontrollable steering. The only way to control is to brake to reduce speed. Internet searches for this condition describe it as F series wobble.

I experienced the ford "death wobble" I had $1200 worth of repairs done on steering and suspension parts. 10,000 miles and 7 months later I am experiencing the same problems again. This is a real safety concern because you loose all control of the vehicle at speeds over 50 miles per hour. How long before this problem kills someone? The first time I experienced this problem the vehicle dragged me accross 3 lanes of traffic at 70 mph.

I was driving at highway speeds (70 mph) with my wife and mother in law as passengers in San Antonio TX on Saturday, 11 Feb 2023. The highway was 4-5 lanes wide in moderate traffic. Pavement was relatively smooth since that portion of the highway was recently repaved in the past year. We crossed a barely noticeable ripple in the pavement when the steering began to shake violently. There was a tractor trailer truck in the lane to my right and traffic passing me in the lane to my left. I could not control the steering due to the violent shaking while gripping the steering wheel with both hands. I started braking immediately and tried to keep the truck in my lane but the truck crossed into the left lane approaching the median. Traffic behind me was braking hard and crossing lanes to avoid crashing with me. I was able to get the truck stopped next to the median. Had there been a vehicle to my left at the time it would have been impossible to avoid a collision. This incident put our lives at risk and I do not feel safe leaving my driveway in my truck. The truck has barely 30K miles and has been maintained by the dealer. There were no warnings or indications prior to the violent shaking. I will be taking the truck to the dealer asap for inspection.

We were driving on the interstate going about 70 mph and hit a small bump in the road and the truck started to shake uncontrollably and felt like the truck was coming apart. My husband was able to get it to the shoulder and stopped. We've had the truck to Ford Motor Co. and they claim they've fixed the problem by replacing the steering dampener. There seems to be a bigger issue with the F-250 than this. This is a severe safety issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the instrument panel and vehicle lost electrical and motive power and then stalled. The contact’s husband was able to maneuver the vehicle off the roadway; however, the contact stated that she was trapped in the vehicle due to the loss of power. The vehicle was towed to dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle lost power due to the door sensor. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that she was concerned for her safety. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was assisted with warranty coverage. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000. The VIN was unavailable.

While driving at freeway speeds, my vehicle’s front end and steering wheel started to vibrate and shake violently (steering oscillation). I had to slow down immediately and pull to the side of the road to avoid being involved in a collision. This continues to occur on a regular basis and I feel that this vehicle has an engineering flaw and a premature failure in the vehicle’s steering and suspension components. I believe this vehicle is unsafe to be driven on the road, because this issue may lead to a traffic collision which could result in serious injury or death.

FRONT END WOBBLES SERVERLY AFTER HITTING POTHOLES OR WAFFLED PAVEMENT! I have to almost stop the the truck under control and have almost been rear ended. I understand there is a class action lawsuit at this time. Took it to the local dealer and they quoted what the repair would cost but never let me know this was an issue with may of these truck, found out by searching on U-Tube.

My vehicle has the death wobble and it is getting worse. When the vehicle is operating over 50mlh and hits a bump, it can begin to shake violently and will not stop until I slow down to 25-30th. This is difficult on trips with my camper and on mountains on interstate highways.

I was driving approximately 60 mph. There were several small bumps in the road and the Truck went into a Very Violent Shake and Wobble. This is commonly known as the FORD DEATH WOBBLE... Very Scary and Dangerous. The Vehicle was extremely hard to control. Luckily the service advisor at Coggin Ford had warned me about this possible condition. I was told if this wobble ever happened to let immediately back off the accelerator and not Touch the Brakes?? I did exactly as he said and was able to get the truck into the Emergency Lane where I slowed down in a slow and dangerous way. I took the Truck to Coggin Ford. The truck has only 21000 miles. They claim it just needs an alignment and a steering Dampener which was already changed by Ford at 2500 miles? The service department told me that the parts are unavailable but the think it needs an alignment? The alignment was fine until the Death Wobble?? This is a dangerous condition that could have killed myself, my daughter or other drivers... Please let me know what the NHTSA is doing to prevent this from causing accidents and let me know what my options are... Thank you, Philip Monson 904-487-8936

Violent uncontrollable steer wheel shaking at high way speeds 65-75 MPH. Shaking is unforeseen happens randomly and suddenly without warning. I’m unable to steer the truck until I come to a complete stop. So how about you guys do your job before people get killed not after. I know there are hundreds of other complaints like this on here. It’s been to the dealer ship twice. once before the issue happened because of unusual noises when steering and once after the issue both times they said everything was normal.

While driving our 2019 Ford F250 Superduty at highway speeds it develops a "death wobble" at this point it is very difficult to control the truck and the only way to get it to stop the violent shaking is to come to a stop. This is a known problem for Ford and they claim the parts are on backorder and it'll be months before parts are available. This vehicle has been inspected at a Ford dealership twice but lack of parts makes it so it cannot be fixed.

The vehicle begins shaking violently on uneven roads at speeds of 55mph. Aggressive braking to reduce speed is the only way to stop it. The ford dealer admits this is the “death wobble”

At highway speeds (about 60 or more) when you hit almost any bump, the truck becomes almost uncontrollable due to the front end shaking.

Severe shaking in the front end ( death wobble) This has happened to me several times now.

The F250 will violently shake in an uncontrollable and unpredictable manner on occasion. It typically happens at speeds over 40 mph when encountering any variation from perfectly flat pavement. Ford has an extended warranty to cover the engineering and design failure of some portion of the steering and suspension system; however, the part is backordered and unavailable to make the covered repair. The vehicle is available to be inspected. The engineering and design flaw causes the vehicle to become uncontrollable while trying to come to a stop endangering the occupants as well as anyone or property in the path. The problem was confirmed by a ford dealer and was stated “it is a known issue with the vehicle” It has not been examined by anyone other than the ford dealership. There were no warning signs from the vehicle; however, an internet search revealed numerous incidents that sound identical. Ford was contacted multiple times, they said they would contact me in reference to a solution 3 times. They never did contact me, when I was able to inquire I was met with an indifferent attitude about my safety and others safety.

When at speeds of 50 or more or when driving on a bumpy road we experience extensive steering wobble to the point that the truck is thrown into another lane.

My complaint is commonly know as the “DEATH WOBBLE”. This has been going on with Ford trucks since at least 1973. I have personal experience. The problem is while driving on the highway, if you hit just a small pothole, the truck begins to shake violently and will not stop until you slam on the brakes and slow considerably. This is extremely dangerous on the highway with the possibility of loosing control. It’s bad, and Ford has known about this for at least 50 years.

When hit a bump a in the road the front end goes into the so-called Death Wobble. It is a really bad shaking of the front end like your wheels are going to come off. Had to slow down really fast and move to the side of the road. What causes this and how can it be fixed so myself or someone else if injured or killed.

My truck start shaking after going over bumps or grooves in the road. To stop the shaking, I had to quickly slow down and than stop completely.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while her husband was reversing with a trailer hitched to the vehicle, the tailgate opened independently, causing the trailer to crash into it. The contact stated that the tailgate was significantly damaged and needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V864000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Took truck in for oil change at local ford dealer. Service adviser advised me the lug nuts needed replaced at $384.00. They are saying it was a manufacturer defect which I agree. I have had truck in numerous times for service and even bought a new set of fires from the dealer and was never advised of any problems. Each time I had truck in for service I had the tires rotated. I believe the items should be covered by the manufacturer

The steering damper is bad and has caused a death wobble. Almost got into an accident on the freeway because the vehicle could not be controlled and my kids and wife where in the vehicle. Took it to the dealership and they could not do anything since there is a national back order for the parts. We are on vacation and they told me to drive home 13 hours with my family in the truck. Called Ford and they have not lifted a finger to help out or do anything to get this resolved. They want me to put my family in this death trap of a vehicle and drive 13 hours with my kids in the car.

While driving on the freeways at freeway speeds after hitting road expansion joints the trucks steering and front end will violently shake to the point of loosing control

While driving 75 mph on an interstate in Little Rock, Arkansas, the truck began to violently shake after hitting a bump and steering became difficult I had to quickly maneuver to the shoulder. Once I started back on the road, the shaking had stopped. Online, thus incident is often referred to as a "death wobble."

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 40 - 60 MPH, the contact experienced the death wobble.

When driving vehicle around 60 to 65 mph on interstate, when you hit a bump it will begin to shake violently and pull to one side. Took vehicle to dealership. They replaced numerous parts, but steering linkage arm, which Ford says it actual problem, is back ordered and could be a year before it is available. I was driving vehicle on the interstate after picking it up from the dealership and it did exactly the same thing. It does not seem safe to drive vehicle, but I do not have another truck to drive.

When driving the truck between 60 and 70 MPH and hitting a rough spot in the road (pothole, broken concrete section) with the drive side tire the steering wheel and entire front of the truck will shake violently. This will continue until speed is reduced below 40 MPH. In traffic slowing down to have the shaking stop is difficult and cause for a safety concern. If traveling on a two lane highway with other vehicles in the right lane it is very difficult to exit in order to slow down.
