2010 F250 repeatably experienced violent shaking of the front wheels and steering at highway speeds (commonly referred to as "death wobble"). This shaking has been so violent that I had no control of the vehicle steering and had to abruptly brake and slow to a near stop in 75 mph traffic! Vehicle has 71K miles and has been very well maintained and garage kept (single owner). Substantial repairs have been made to replace steering dampener, track bar, drag link, and steering gear. Technician explained that all of these parts were severely damaged from the death wobble.

I have a 2010 Ford,F250 Super Duty 4wd. After hitting a "transition" bump on a feeder road to a hiway I encountered violent shaking of my front end. I was accelerating to hiway speed of 70mph but I was almost forced off the road at 60 so I slowed to 50mph. The front end was still shaking so I pulled over to inspect the wheels because it felt like they were loose. Nothing was obvious so I got back on the freeway and could not drive over 40 then. Even still it shook. I was about 60 miles from home on Saturday. I took the truck to my local shop and he informed me that it was the "death wobble"! I was unaware of this "safety issue" until then. There were 3 components on the front end that were replaced and the cost was $811.50!! There were no warning lights or buzzers before the incident and if I was not a cautious driver I would have certainly run off the road and, or, injured. No photos were taken or police reports but I do have an invoice. I feel something should be done about this especially if Ford is aware of the issue. If safety is a concern of theirs, they certainly do not live up to it! Along with the money and stress it is costing people. Ive called Ford CS and they told me there's nothing they can do.

When driving and hitting small cracks/holes/rough road the whole front of truck bounce and causes steering issues and also rough riding and also causes a really bad vibration.

See attached document for complaint

At about 45 mph front end will start shakin and have to come almost a stop then resume down road I havesteering arn, tierod ends replace, front end align by front specialist and still doing this also tires were rotated.Ford did all work except independent wheel alignment. No insurane notified.

The vehicle has been experiencing a death wobble in the front suspension for about 2 years. I have had regular maintenance of the vehicle at a local ford dealership. The first incident occurred shortly after I had the vehicle serviced for oil change and tire rotation. I was driving about 75 mph on the I-5 freeway and ran over a transition in the road from blacktop to cement, the entire front end began to violently shake. I slowed down and pulled over and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary, so I continued on. About 30 miles further, I hit a small pothole in the road with the driver side front tire, and the entire front end again began to violently shake. I slowed down and moved to the right, and when I reached about 40 mph, the shaking stopped. I took the vehicle to capistrano ford and they said some bushings were worn, so they replaced them. When I picked the vehicle up and started driving on the freeway, the violent shaking occurred again. I returned the vehicle to capistrano ford, and they said they could not duplicate the problem. I had them rotate the tires back to their original positions and did not have another incident for several months. Then, the violent shaking occurred once again, so I returned the vehicle to capistrano ford, and had the shocks replaced. They inspected the suspension but did not recommend any other parts be replaced. The violent shaking has continued to occur, and has recently become more frequent. The vehicle has about 106,000 miles, is in

Driving down the road, hit a bump in road, and front end began to shake so hard that I lost control of the truck and ended up on side of the road. Began to try and drive the truck home (less than 5 miles away), it began to shake 2 more times. Called dealership, they stated it was a "Death Wobble"...but they don't fix them or correct the issue. I would have to pay for it myself.

When driving at highway speeds, the front end steering wheels will violently begin wo wobble and shake to a severe level that will cause the truck to loss control if the driver does not immediately slow its speed by braking. This action that must be taken to bring the truck back into control is dangerous at highway speeds as other traffic is behind or next to your truck. This has occurred numerous times, with the first time replacing all four tires and over the past several years has created dis-pleasurable driving. This manufacture defect by FORD must be corrected as many lives are a risk due to an engineering problem with the front suspension.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump in the roadway and shook violently almost causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The brake pedal was depressed and the contact pulled off the roadway. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was then driven to the residence. The local dealer was contacted but an appointment was not yet scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,000.

When driving over 50 miles per hour, on highways especially, the front end of the truck and steering wheel starts to shake uncontrollably and I have to immediately slow down and/or pull off the road. This is very dangerous considering there are numerous tractor trailers and other vehicles on the highway. It's often impossible to pull over when needed and I am fearful for my life. It has been happening for at least 6 months if not longer.

While travel on the highway at 70 mph upon hitting a bump my steering wheel and front end of the truck began to violently shake. I applied my brake and pulled to the side of the highway the shaking stopped. I inspected the vehicle finding nothing visually wrong. I continued my trip having the violent shaking occur twice more before the conclusion of my trip.

Alternator caught fire.

Unknown. difficulty steering, violent shaking of steering and wheels. already replaced steering contol box, tie rods, had alignment, new wheels. feesl like death wobbles at any speed.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY. HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO ALMOST COMPLETELY STOP THE TRUCK. HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 45MPH ON CITY STREETS AND WHEN DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE FRONT END OF MY FORD F-250 REGULARLY WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO SCARY AND VIOLENT AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS VERY CHALLENGING AND DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY WITH OTHER CARS AROUND.

FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY KING RANCH (2010) WITH A 6.4 POWERSTROKE ENGINE. THE 3RD CYLINDER BLEW UP AND THE PISTON CAME APART AND SCARRED THE CYLINDER WALL UP. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NEW EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE TO FORCE DIESELS TO HAVE TO PASS SMOG. THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING TO AVOID PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES AT A COST OF $20K.

DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY IN GEORGIA VEHICLE SHUT DOWN APPROXIMATELY 90 MILES AFTER GETTING GAS. TOWED VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS GAS IN THE DIESEL FUEL TANK WHICH RESULTED IN BLOWN ENGINE. STATE FARM WAS CALLED, AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS THEY TOOK SAMPLES AND CLAIMED THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF GAS. THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE (6.4 SUPER DUTY FORD) IN THE PAST. WE PUT 20,000 INTO THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. NOW WE ARE WONDERING IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

FORD F250 SUPERDUTY. 52,000 MILES. SEVERE SHAKE IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AT SPEED 45-55 MPH. TRUCK ALSO IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT (NOT WHILE BRAKING). HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. VIOLENT SHAKING AND BOUNCING OF THE FRONT END AND STEERING ASSEMBLY. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES- ALWAYS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING A CHANGE IN PAVEMENT SURFACE- BRIDGE JOINT; POTHOLE, ROUGH ROAD. BOTH WHEN EMPTY AND WHEN TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER. HAS HAPPENS GOING STRAIGHT AND ALSO ON CURVES. THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUES UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN TO A CERTAIN POINT (UNDER 30 MPH?) THEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. HAVING TO SLOW DOWN ON THE FREEWAY IS DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARTICLES, VIDEOS, ETC ONLINE THAT DETAIL THE PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT (I AM NOT PARTY TO IT ). FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT! THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AND IF THE DRIVER PANICS OR ISN'T SKILLED IT COULD RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS CRASH. FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FORD'S RECOMMENDED FIX DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CUSTOMERS SPEND A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS BUT THAT ISN'T THE SOLUTION. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MY TRUCK IS BONE STOCK AND WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT, NOT A CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE ISSUE.

PERIODIC LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO EXTREME SHIMMY OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK IS A 2010 IT NOW HAS 40,463 MILES, HAS NO OFF ROAD USE, TIRES KEPT BALANCED AND ROTATED PER FORD SERVICE, HAS BEEN TREATED LIKE A BABY AND IS STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 30,000 MILES. AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY START SHAKING AT SPEEDS ABOVE ABOUT 50 MPH. I HAVE RUN INTO A DITCH WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL, OTHER TIMES HAVE SWERVED OUT OF MY LANE OF TRAFFIC. THIS CONDITION RENDERS THE $59,000 TRUCK HIGHLY DANGEROUS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE FORD DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPAIR THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT $1000 BUT THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, ALL PROPER MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN GENTLY DRIVEN. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND REPAIR THE TRUCK. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS JUNE 7, 2020. *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS AS A USED TRUCK, PRIVATE SALE. WHEN TRAVELING OVER 45 MPH, IF VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR CATCHES A RIDGE, THE STEERING CREATES A FEEDBACK THAT VIOLENTLY SHAKES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATE, RAPID HARD BRAKING IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS FREQUENTLY, IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS FORD DEATH WOBBLE, IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL.

DEATH WOBBLE. HITTING A BUM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE STRUCK LOSES CONTROL. HAVE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER FOR HIT TO STOP. ALMOST TOOK ME INTO THE OTHER LANE AND HIT A CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

WE HAVE A 2010 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY DIESLE WITH APPROX 105K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY HIGHWAY (ROUTE 15 SOUTH IN WILLIAMSPORT, PA) AT APPROXIMATELY 64 MPH I WAS ON A BRIDGE THAT THE ROAD TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT TO MERGE INTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL BOUNCING THE TRUCK TOWARD THE RAIL GUARD. I APPLIED THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. IT TOOK ALL THE STREGNTH I HAD IN MY ARMS TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. WHEN AT APPROX 35MPH THE SHAKING FINALLY SUBSIDED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OUR TRUCK. MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED IT A FEW TIMES. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THERE IS A FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-2268 FOR THIS AND IT IS BEING CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WE ARE TAKING OUR TRUCK IN TOMORROW TO BE SERVICED AT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A FORD RECALL. EVERYTHING I AM READING ONLINE IS POINTING TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER/ADJUST ASSEMBLY AND CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AXLE AND THE BEARINGS IN THE HUB ASSEMBLY.

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FROM 2010 TO CURRENT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND A TRANSMISSION OVERFLOW RELIEF VALVE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS KEEP POPPING THE STUDS WHICH ALLOWS FUMES INSIDE THE TRUCK UPON A $2000.00 BILL EVERY TIME... THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO FALL RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANS OVERFLOW....EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS IT SPITS THE FLUID OUT ALL OVER THE EXHAUST WHICH CAUSES A FIRE EVERYTIME. I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THESE PROBLEMS SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK.THESE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ADRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 THE HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE TAIL GATE WE WERE PULLING OUR 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE THE CAMPER HIGHER THAN THE TAIL GATE TO HOOK UP THE CAMPER. WE TOOK IT TO FORD IT WAS DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS AROUND $278.90. WE SAW THE NEXT WE WERE CAMPING IN THE SAME CAMP GROUND AFTER OUR REPAIRS WERE MADE ANOTHER FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT WAS BUT IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS A 2010 THE OWNER WAS ALSO HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE TAIL GATE OPEN ON HIS TRUCK BUT HE WAS HAULING A TAG ALONG CAMPER. IS THERE ANY RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL GATES ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS WAS AT 80331 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRACK BAR AND TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND DRAG LINK . WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE F SERIES SUPER DUTY. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS WAS DONE IN JUNE OF 2017 WITH 100778 MILES. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END WOULD SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAD TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND AT 70 MPH WITH ME ONE DAD IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE GOING TO BOUNCE RIGHT OFF THE TRUCK AND VERY SCARY FOR A WOMEN I WAS AFRAID TO PUT ON THE BRAKES SO IT WAS A RUFF RIDE TILL IT SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS WAS AT A COST OF$1,133.32. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A FEED BACK ON THIS INFORMATION IF POSSIBLE.

BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR IF YOU HIT A LITTLE BUMP THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WILL START HOPPING AND SHAKING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT'S NOTED ON THE INTERNET AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 40 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK BEGIN TO SHAKE TO THE POINT OF NON CONTROL. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY 3 MECHANICS AND REPLACED BALL JOINTS, STABILIZERS, TIE RODS, ETC. NOBODY CAN FIX IT. FORD WON'T ADMIT ANYTHING IS WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL, SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS COASTED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (SIMMONS ROCKWELL, 7327 NY-54, BATH, NY, 607-770-7600) AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONS SENSOR FAILS RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE SPEED REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THIS HAPPENED WITH SPEED GOING FROM 55 TO 15 ALMOST AS IF PUTTING ON BRAKES. DEALER REPLACED APPS AND IT FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT SURELY COULD HAVE IF OTHER DRIVERS WERE FOLLOWING CLOSER.

THE IGNITION SOMETIMES TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START VEHICLE THE IGNITION WILL GET STUCK IN THE FAR ON POSITION. IF YOU DON'T NOTICE THIS AND START TO DRIVE AND HIT A BUMP THE KEY WILL SPRING BACK TO THE OFF POSITION CAUSING POWER LOSS. THE KEY ALSO GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND NOT ABLE TO REMOVE IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE AND HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALLS ON IT. TODAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE THE KEY STUCK IN THE FAR ON POSITION. I DROVE AWAY FROM Y RESIDENCE AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE KEY WENT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND MY VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND PULLED OVER TO RESTART VEHICLE. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND DOES NOT RELEASE TO THE NORMAL POSITION. GETTING STUCK CAUSES THE HEATER AND THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE INSIDE THE VEHICLE NOT TO WORK. TO MAKE THESE DEVICES WORK, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE IGNITION ONE NOTCH TOWARDS THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE.
