Traveling at 60-65 mile per hour on interstate freeway, hit a group of small potholes with left wheels. Truck shook as you would expect at first, then began to shake increasingly more violently in the front end. The shaking increased till the front end was bouncing up and down and shaking left to right. The steering wheel shook left and right. I took my foot off the accelerator and coasted to the shoulder and stopped. My passenger's and my safety were put at risk because the truck was difficult to control and slowing down did not bring the situation under control until we got down to about 20 mph. Fortunately we were in the right lane, so we had quick access to the shoulder. I don't know what component failed, but this behaved as if the steering were repeatedly over-correcting for what it saw as a potential spin-out in alternating direction. After the incident the front tires showed wear marks slightly up the sidewalls (about 1 inch) that suggested they had skidded sideways several times. All tires were properly inflated at the time: 61 pounds front, 80 pounds rear. There were no warning lamps or alerts before or after the incident. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealer. No police or insurance representatives were notified since there was not an accident or injuries.

Experienced the Ford Death Wobble approximately July 1, 2022. After going over a small pothole at 65 mph, vehicle experienced severe wobble and pulled from far right lane to shoulder and veered toward cement wall at 65mph! Braking caused increase in wobble. Was finally able to slow vehicle to exit highway. No prior issues with wobble nor any warning. Shaking and nearly crying, I slowly drove to Big O shop who confirmed wobble and recommended Dealer address problem. Slowly drove to Ford dealer which took two days to confirm issue and inform me that parts were backordered and would call when available. (As of 3/23/23 no call.) Ford told me to not drive over 45mph, essentially making my truck useless. Slowly drove back to Big O and had them repair at my cost ~$1600, Ford reimbursed ~$250. On 3/21/23, driving 65mph over small bump in road, experienced Death Wobble again and pulled to side of highway. Slowly drove to Big O and had additional parts installed ~$330. Scared to drive my truck over 45mph!

2019 FORD F-350. CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS MADE TO SAFETY RECALL.

The touch screen is only working sometimes and then is very slow. Causing unsafe driving conditions.

I was accelerating to get on the freeway and there was a slight bump or crease in the pavement and my front end started to bounce and warble uncontrollably, fortunately I was able to pull off of the on-ramp and come to a stop with out incident. This was not the first time I noticed this, but it was definitely the worst.

Death Wobble, the steering wheel shook violently. I could not control the vehicle and had to stop in the middle of the road to make it quit. This has happened before. It was serviced for this problem once.

The vehicle has approximately 73K miles and approximately 3 months ago the transmission started hard shifting in 2nd gear. There have been several incidents where I have almost had accidents due to this. Ford will not replace the transmission despite the internet being flooded with persons saying they are having the same issue with the same year, make and model.

The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Experiencing intermittent violent wobble of front suspension/steering. 2 significant events since October 2022. Traveling at highway speed and incurring rough road steering wheel wobbles severally. Only way to stop it is to slow down below approximately 50 mph, however latest event (02/14/23), had to go below 20 mph to get it to stop. very dangerous on the highway. Tractor trailer had to change lanes very quickly to avoid hitting me. Ford dealership is aware of the issue, however they only offer a new steering dampener that has not been available for almost 4 months. Had an independent service center look at the suspension. They found that the dampener is faulty and another suspension joint is showing premature wear.

3 different occasions where my trucks front wheels and steering wheel shakes uncontrollably after hitting a pothole or bridge transition. Twice pulling a fifth wheel camper and once by itself. Very scary. Twice I had to come to a near stop before I could continue. Death wobble they call it. Took to Ford dealership who said the fix is a steering damper which is on national back order with no release date. It has happened once again since then for a total of 4 times. Never know when it will happen. Just depends on the bridge transition or pothole. Ford needs to correct this steering problem

There is currently a recall for the rear camera on this truck that Ford has yet to repair because they say they don't have the replacement parts. This truck has the 360 view package. There are cameras all around this truck and they all are getting cloudy to the point it's hard to see from any of them, not just the rear view camera. Ford is refusing to replace the other cameras under any kind of warranty/recall. I think that it's a matter of safety to replace all the cameras because they are all either unusable or nearly unusable. I use all the camreas alot because this is a big truck and there are alot of blind spots.

When I hit a bump with this truck the steering shakes violently. I brought to ford and they said it is a steering dampner and it is a recalled part and they would fix it as a recall however they said they dont have the part and they dont know when the part will be available. I am now left with an undriveable truck and no one can tell me when it can be fixed.

My 2019 F-350 lariat power stroke 23,500 miles has experienced a shaking in the steering on the freeway multiple times previously, it seemed to happen when a bump or uneven part of the road was felt. The last time 1/11/23 it shook uncontrollably on the freeway until the truck was slowed to 20MPH. I had both hands tightly gripped on the steering wheel and could not control it- until the speed was reduced to 20 MPH. Other vehicles on the freeway had to avoid my truck as I had to lower the speed well below the minimum speed limit on the freeway which could have caused a crash. After consulting the dealer and another mechanic the term used for this condition is the death wobble. The truck is unsafe. It was brought in to the authorized Ford dealer in Wisconsin. They said there is a fix for this issue but it’s backordered and has been backordered for sometime. I asked the dealer for a date when I might see this part and was told it’s backordered with no expectation of a date for the part. The truck is not safe to drive. Now I have to pick it up from the dealer without a resolution- basically drive the unsafe truck home and park it until Ford can get me the part.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the center console control screen was blank. The rear-view camera, radio, and other electrical features and functions became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the accessory interface module (AIM) needed to be replaced. The contact restarted the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 55,300.

Vehicle front end started to violently shake when hitting small bumps while driving over 55 mph. When this happens, I have to slam on the brakes to get the vehicle back below 40 mph to stop the shaking, then can accelerate back to speed.....only to happen again when hitting a bump. The dealer states that it is worn parts on a vehicle with less than 20,000 miles on it. The vehicle has been at the dealer waiting on backordered parts for over 3 months. Ford is not taking responsibility for the issue. The vehicle is unsafe to drive in it's current condition.

My 2019 F350 has the proverbial “Death Wobble; which Ford knows about and has admitted to. They have stated the steering damper is the fix, which is not a recall but a CSP, and cannot be sourced for an ETA. When I was driving over approximately 50 mph and ran over the change between the road and the bridge the steering wheel began to shake violently, along with the front end of the truck. This has happened multiple times and has gotten progressively worse. Ford Motor Company and my local dealership have offered no solutions. I feel this needs to be upgraded to a recall and Ford needs to requisition the parts immediately before something detrimental happens to someone due to an accident. Also, according to multiple reports online, there have been numerous components that have prematurely worn out on the front end of the Super Duty’s significantly contributing to the horrible steering oscillation-“Death Wobble.” My most current incident was 19 December 2022.

Truck violently shakes when vehicle traverses over pothole while traveling over 55 mph. Commonly called the “ford death wobble”. Taken to Ford dealership twice, each time told they can’t replicate the issue.

While operating my 2019 F350 on 12/3/2022 at approximately 65 MPH on an interstate the steering wheel began to shake/pulse violently from left to right for approximately 40 seconds. I was unable to control the vehicle during this time. About 2 minutes later the exact same symptoms appeared again, even more violently. I had a passenger in the vehicle record the second incident. During these incidents it is next to impossible to control the vehicle. This is an ongoing issue which Ford is aware of...a quick search online and you'll see this is referred to as the "Super Duty Death Wobble". My vehicle was repaired 3 times for this same issue prior to the incident which is mentioned above. The dealer installed an aftermarket part, which was authorized by Ford at the time. However, Ford now no longer authorizes the use of this part. The correct part has been on backorder forever and many doubt that it will ever be shipped for installation into vehicles. Both Ford and the NHTSA have failed consumers by never mandating recall for this steering issue in Ford Super Duty trucks. I am now forced to try and drive a truck with serous safety issue because both the OEM and federal government have failed to ensure that safety standards were met. The dealer has informed me that they can make no further repairs for this issue and that Ford has directed them to await the replacement parts.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH and driving over a rough patch of roadway, the steering wheel started jerking to the left and the right. The vehicle had experienced the death wobble. The contact slowed down to 30 MPH and the vehicle started driving properly. The contact resumed driving 55 MPH and the vehicle drove normally. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the sway bar needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH on a busy highway and hauling an RV, the vehicle and steering wheel suddenly began to violently shake and vibrate causing the contact to nearly lose control of the vehicle. During the trip, the failure had occurred on three separate occasions after driving over changes to the pavement of the road and driving onto a bridge. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering dampener was faulty and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the part was on back order and the vehicle could not be repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000.

The steering became totally unresponsive and unstable resulting in a very severe front end wobble that did not diminish until the speed of the vehicle was reduced. This caused for some very anxious times as I was afraid I might lose control of the vehicle. This was reported to two Ford dealerships in the area without any assistance with the problem. As I was 500 miles from home and needed to get back home. I researched this condition on the internet as found was was referred to as the Ford Death Wobble. I took it upon myself to have the steering linkage damper replaced at my on expense.

Upon crossing a bridge expansion joint at around 65 -70 mph, the vehicle steering began to shake violently side to side. I was able to quickly reduce my speed and the shaking subsided once I was able to slow to around 40 mph. I have not contacted the ford dealer yet, but do recall seeing mention of this specific problem before. I started searching the internet for answers where I came upon the recommendation to report this dangerous incident to your agency.

The problem I have had is when driving above 45 to 55 mph when you go across the bridge control joints or hit a pothole the steering wheel will begin shaking and you have to slow down to get it to stop. When this has happened I have been pulling a 45' fifth wheel trailer and it's hard to control the vehicle, so myself and passengers along with traffic around me are at risk of weather or not I can safely get slowed down to control the vehicle. It has happened without the trailer but it is much easier to control when it happens. I have had it looked at by the dealership where I purchased it and I'm currently waiting for what they say will fix it. When this occurs the there are no warning lights or sensors to let you know anything is wrong nor is there anything afterward. It has been 2 months since the dealership inspected it and was ordering repair part, but still the part isn't in and my vehicle is not fixed. Also the vehicle only has 14,000 miles on it.

While driving on the two lane freeway at approximately 65mph in the right lane, a lane change to the left lane was initiated as a slower moving truck was in the right lane. Following the lane change to the left lane, the front left tire hit the pavement recess accommodating the yellow reflector embedded in the pavement, which was on the inside of the fog line. Upon impact with the reflector recess the vehicle front end and steering wheel began to shake violently. The steering wheel shook side-to-side so violently that it shook the drivers hands, arms, shoulders and head back and forth so quickly and violently that the drivers vision was impaired; the driver could see but all objects were blurred due to the shaking. Fortunately the left shoulder was paved and an area to the left of the shoulder was also paved (but not maintained perhaps a construction related turn around or cross over). Steering was severely impaired. With great difficulty the vehicle was steered off of the left lane onto the shoulder and then stopped on the additional paved area to the left of the paved shoulder. The violent vehicle and steering shaking subsided ONLY following stopping the vehicle. Had this incident occurred in heavy traffic, on a two lane road or a road without shoulders the outcome may well have ended in loss of control of the vehicle. Ford acknowledges that its Super Duty 4x4 vehicle experience "Death Wobble"; a violent shaking of the front end and steering. This incident was a "Death Wobb

I was crossing a railroad at 50-55 miles per hour and the front end started shaking violently and was barely able to control it . almost had to stop to get the shaking to stop.

Ford has issued a recall on the steering dampener. The ford brand part is on back order. There are several aftermarket options available however ford refuses to cover the costs of these parts. They are also refusing to cover the cost of a rental vehicle similar to what I a currently driving. Basically forcing me to drive a vehicle with a serious steering defect.

My 2019 F350 is having the death wobble again. First occurred in 2021. Speeds 35-50 shakes truck like it will fall apart. Have to stop vehicle to resume normal driving. Ford fixed once in august 2021. Retuned again in summer/fall 2022. Ford said they wont cover second repair to replace the know left dampener.

The steering stabilizer malfunction. We were traveling on the Highway with a six horse trailer when after hitting a bump the truck started the death wobble. Had to slow down to less then 45 before leveling out. It caused swerving into other lanes causing near collision. We had replaced the stabilizer less then 5 000 miles ago when we had the same issue. The dealerships don’t have the part available and we had to replace it again on the side of the road. This is a reoccurring problem with this make of truck. Everyone I know has had this issue. We have the broken part. There was no warnings. It’s ridiculous that Ford is not being held responsible for this issue. It’s dangerous and will eventually end with loss of life for someone. I reported the original incident to you.

Several small issues with F-350 but nothing to stop using until yesterday. I was running along about 45 mph and front began to shake and in fact so bad started bouncing about 1’ to 2’ high. I did not brake or speed up but took foot off gas and slowed down to approx 15mph and stopped. I was in traffic so went back to 45 mph and has not acted up since. But this could have been disaster.

Death Wobble was a consistent problem. Driving at approximately 40-60 mph and the front end and steering wheel shook violently after hitting a bump in the road. I have an extended warranty and Ford repaired it yesterday (I hope). They said it was caused by loose parts. Here is a list of their repairs: Installed BC3Z 3050 C : Joint ASY - Ball Installed AC3Z 3A116 A : Bush - Front Suspension AR Installed HC3Z 3304 A : Rod ASY - Drag link Installed 3A131 B : Ind ASY - Drag link rod Replaced loose parts Track bar ball joint Track bar bushing Upper drag link, lower drag link, right hand tire rod end. Steering dampener shock Installed RS5415 : Rancho Steering dampener Installed HC3Z 3A131 H : End - Spindle Rod Connection Alignment #629

Our truck has had several occurances with the "death wobble" that is associated with the following items: Track bar bushing, Damper bracket, Ball joints, Control arms, Shocks, Struts. When we are traveling at a higher rate of speed any bump that we hit can create a uncontrollable wobble that if we do not slow down immediately makes it feel like we will crash.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH and driving over a pothole, the vehicle was vibrating and shaking abnormally. The contact stated that he felt the vibration coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact stated that several minutes later the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 11,000.

On 4 separate occasions while driving my truck under 60 mph, the truck started shaking violently. The steering froze and the complete chassis, frame and body shook and felt like it was falling apart. It only subsided when I decelerated below 30 mph.

While getting on the freeway my vehicle started to shake violently when I hit about 50 mph. There was no warning. The road surface was kind of rough. The shaking affected the steering wheel so much that it made controlling the vehicle very difficult. I thought a wheel was falling off or we had a blow out. Luckily there was a wide shoulder. Two semis with wide loads (trusses) were able to move to the left lane to avoid hitting me. It traumatized me and my passenger. We could have been killed and no one would have known about the violent shaking we experienced. I usually am towing a horse trailer. I don't know what might have happened if I had horses with me. This is a known problem to Ford. It's referred to as the "death wobble". They have extended the warranty for this but haven't made a recall. The service appointment for this isn't available until December or later! Ford told me I can either not drive it until then, or only drive it under 40 miles per hour, or pay someone to replace the steering dampener (which they would not reimburse). My truck is a 2019 F350 with only 9,000 on it. My husband replaced the defective part and we have it if needed for inspection. At the very least this problem should be highly publicized so if it happens drivers will be able to recognize the problem and try to slow down and hold onto the wheel. We were totally caught off-guard. Owners of the affected trucks should be encouraged to change the part on their own. Ford says there's a part shorta

Going down a hill, started to slowdown with traffic and the steering wheel started to shake violently. Had to slowdown quickly to about 10 MPH for it to quit shaking

After traversing across a bridge the truck started shaking violently. I could not keep the truck under control and it started to ver off the interstate to the shoulder. Once the truck slowed down to about 30 mph the truck stopped shaking. I was towing a 39’ camper. Once the shaking started I had absolutely no control of the truck. This truck only has 35,000 miles on it and should not be experiencing steering and suspension failure. After researching this is a very common issue with these trucks.

Traveling with fifth wheel out of home state and the steering wheel and front end starts shaking violently. Was on the interstate when this happened. This has happened now three times and I’m concerned I may loose control and crash.

Filled the tank before arriving home, parked on incline nose down. Not very steep. A few hours later there was a puddle of diesel on the driveway and after inspection it seemed it was leaking from the top of tank. I have no other vehicle and this one cost too much to be doing this at 60000 miles. It is dangerous to drive for fire risk but I have no choice. In 55 years I have never had a fuel tank leak on any vehicle. Looking online there have been many instances under the same conditions. There is no condition that a fuel tank should leak.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while her husband was reversing out of the driveway, the rearview back-up camera display was inoperable causing a visibility hazard for the driver who inadvertently drove into the mailbox. During the failure, the mailbox and the rear tailgate of the vehicle were damaged. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Traveling at 60 miles per hour I hit a bump in the freeway and the truck went into uncontrollable shake and jumped around like a pogo stick until I came to a stop. Pulled to the side of the road and checked wheels and looked at the suspension but didn't see anything unusual. Traveled normally after that. I only have 22,000 miles on this truck and have had bouncing and jumping before when traveling over bumps but it had been quite mild compared the what just happened. Luck we didn't hit or get hit!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and hauling a trailer, the brake pedal was depressed with the "Wiring Fault on Trailer" message displayed. The contact pressed a button on the steering wheel and cleared the message. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for service. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

I just purchased my 2019 F350 King Ranch and a 2023 Gator made 24.9K 35+5 trailer for my business. When driving the truck without trailer truck does well. However when I purchased and picked up trailer and got on the highway I felt vibration in the steering wheel and cab of truck between 65-75 MPH. I checked tire pressures and everything was in range. (My truck and trailer have brand new tires) I proceeded back on the highway and it continued to shake periodically this scared me! I did some research and found that it resembles the "Death Wobble" I have not reported this problem to the dealership because it states to contact you guys first. I will contact dealership next. Oh there were no indictor light that came on or are on. This truck is available and can be inspected. Thanks

On September 21, 2022 I was driving to Vail, CO. I hit a bump in the road as I was heading up the Vail pass. Immediately after, my truck started shaking violently out of control with no control of my steering. I skid across the highway and was lucky not to hit anything. When looking this up it appears it was the Ford Death Wobble.

The air bag light came on

Death wobble horrific experience (2)x on 9/15/22 after work on the interstate coming home. Almost rear ended by 18 wheeler. Travel speed 74. 6-lane highway, I had to control the vehicle best as possible in order to move over (3) lanes safely. Cars raced past blaring their horns b:c accident almost happened. Again on 9/18/22, merging on the interstate travel speed 60 with trailer attached. It was a VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE! I almost got killed not to mention another person could’ve lost their life too! This defect IS NO JOKE!! Ford should take responsibility & RECALL THESE VEHICLES!!! Do we have to die before they decide to fix a defective part(s)? I love my F350, & only source of transportation. I can’t afford to repair it at the moment. But Ford can at No charge to me. $65k vehicle, $3k parts/labor on a defect known by Ford & they’re not gonna take care of their customers?? WTF!!! I’ll sue Ford - safety is priority but not to Ford!

Extreme shaking / loss of control when hitting bump (Ford “Death Wobble”) No accident, was able to slow to a stop and regain control. Happened a few times, had to keep extremely slow to get home.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH and driving over a bump on the roadway, the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. The contact pulled over but was unaware of the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the tires and suspension was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 168,000.
