Purchased truck July 1st 2023..after 2 days of owning I’ve experienced death wobble at 48-55mph. It caught me way off guard as I was hauling 40ft travel trailer and family in truck. Truck is currently back at dealership receiving the recalled parts for the newer trucks and have to pay over $3500 in repairs…within the 1200 miles I driven the truck had the death wobble 7 times. Please advise

While on highway, experienced an uncontrolled suspension vibration commonly know as the death wobble. It required me to slow down to 25mph on the highway to stop the uncontrollable vibration. This led to a chaotic situation with cars and trucks around me at the time.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-350 SD. The contact stated that while driving over a bump in the roadway at high speeds, the vehicle intermittently experienced the death wobble without warning. The shaking continued until the vehicle had slowed down and the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle. The contact notified the dealer and was informed that a diagnostic test needed to be performed to determine the cause of failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was not available.

Truck starts Violently shaking on highway

The death wobble. It happens on the freeway. You have to almost come to a stop. A major HAZARD!!! Happen s going over train tracks, bumps on the road. It's soooo scary and dangerous! Can we ford owners file a class action lawsuit against Ford? Please help. Every time we drive it's scary and dangerous. We're always afraid to haul or drive please help us get this fixed!

Two incidents of front-end wobble at hwy speeds (65 & 70 mph) that caused violent vibration-shaking of steering wheel, on April 7, 2021 and June 11, 2021. June occurrence happened following pothole strike, lasting +10 seconds with vibration settling after achieving speeds <40 mph. Dealership appointment made for 17 June 2021, suspension check.

WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HITTING A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT HOLD ON AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TILL IT STOPS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS LOSS OF CONTROL AND HAVING TO SLOW DOWN MAKES IT LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP!!!!

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES OF MOTOR. DEATH WOBBLE IN FRONT SUSPENSION,FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH

THROWING A CODE FOR HIGH RAIL PRESSURE. VEHICLE IS STOCK WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON IT.

WHEN HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD OR ESPECIALLY WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE TRUCK DEVELOPS A TERRIFYING, VIOLENT SHAKING/VIBRATION AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 25 - 30MPH, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAYS SURROUNDED BY OTHER VEHICLES. MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE".. THE TRUCK HAS HAD VARIOUS STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS REPLACED WITH HIGH QUALITY AFTERMARKET PARTS INCLUDING SHOCK ABSORBERS AND STEERING DAMPER WITH NO CHANGE IN WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAPPEN EACH AND EVERY TIME WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR CROSSING A BRIDGE JOINT. MULTIPLE TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN AT LOCATIONS WHERE IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

TWO TO THREE WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY FORD F350 SRW, $WD, CREW CAB TRUCK I WENT OVER A BRIDGE. WENT I CAME OFF THE BRIDGE AND WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. FIRST I WAS YANKED TO THE LEFT AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT TO THE RIGHT. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL I WAS IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS WHO, BY THE GRACE OF GOD WHERE PAYING ATTENTION AND BRAKED BEFORE COLLIDING WITH ME! THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT MY ARMS HURT FOR TWO DAYS AFTER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO ME, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE FORD DEALER WHO REALLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT "TRY" DIFFERENT THINGS.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING OVER AN EVEN ROADWAY. THE SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, HIT AN UNEVEN SPOT ON THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTING SHAKING HORRIBLY. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 50-55MPH. HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IN A TIMELY MANNER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A DAILY BASES, NUMEROUS TIMES IN ONE TRIP. IT IS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I'M SCARED FOR MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND ALL OTHER DRIVERS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS ISSUE CAUSES A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

VIOLENT SHACKING OF FRONT END , TRIES TO TAKE ME OFF THE ROAD. HAD IN 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. REFERED TO ONLINE AS A DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-350 SD. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINSLOW FORD (LOCATED AT 840 MIKE'S PIKE ST, WINSLOW, AZ 86047, (800) 331-6698), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING OUR FORD SUPER DUTY F 350 ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS , IFOUR FRONT TRIES OR TIRE HIT A BUMP WE LOOSE CONTROL OF OUR TRUCK IT SHAKES VERY VIOLENTLY UNTIL WE SHOW DOWN AND ARE ABLE TO PULL OVER. WE HAVE HAD THE FRONT END REPLACED, ALSO REPLACED DAMPER AND SHOCKS. THIS HAS NOT STOPPED THE ISSUE, AT THIS POINT WE WILL NOT PUT OUR FAMILY IN DANGER BY RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE.

FRONT WHEEL "DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURS BETWEEN 45 MPH AND 65+ MPH (IN TOWN STREETS AND FREEWAY) AFTER HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD, MOST GOING STRAIGHT BUT OCCURS IN MINOR TURNS AS WELL. FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND TRANSMITS TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAB. FRONT WHEELS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO TEAR OFF. TO STOP THE WOBBLE I HAVE TO SLOW QUICKLY TO 5 MPH TO 10 MPH. AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE WOBBLE INCREASES BECOMES EVEN MORE VIOLENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE LANES ABRUPTLY, PULLING OVER TO STOP. THE WOBBLE STARTED AS A MINOR NUISANCE THOUGHT TO BE A WHEEL BALANCE ISSUE. NOW THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND PROGRESSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IS IN REGULAR SERVICE, AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. THE TIRES ARE HIGH GRADE MICHELIN WITH APPROX 32K, HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES (NO PROBLEMS NOTED AT AMERICA'S TIRE STORE). I HAVE A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT WITH FIRESTONE AND HAD IT ALIGNED TWICE (NO PROBLEMS NOTED AT FIRESTONE). I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL, SERVICE BULLETIN, OR WARNING. PEOPLE THAT HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN HAVE PULLED OVER TO TELL ME HOW BAD IT LOOKS FROM OUTSIDE. I SEE BLOGS WITH SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE WHEELS BALANCED AGAIN AND ALIGNED THEN TAKE IT TO FORD FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS.

BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED BY A TIRE REPAIR FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TIRE FAILURES AND INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD OFFER A DISCOUNT FOR THE NEW TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT VERIFIED IF THE TIRES HAD BEEN RECALLED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THE TREAD SEPARATION AND PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR BOTH TIRES. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE ALSO UNKNOWN.
