2019 Ford F-350 SD complaints

WHILE PULLING A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH MY COMPACT TRACTOR ON IT DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD AT APRX. 50 MPH HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND I EXPERIENCED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE WHAT'S KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE RAPIDLY BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY RAISED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ONCE IT COASTED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH THE VIBRATION STOPPED. A COUPLE HOURS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 70 MPH, SAME TRAILER SETUP AS BEFORE. RAISED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND ONCE THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT AND THEY HAVE BEEN ROTATED. I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURES A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND THEY WERE AT/NEAR THE FACTORY RECOMMEND PRESSURES. TRUCK HAS AROUND 38K MILES ON IT.

THIS VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES AFTER HITTING A GROOVED SURFACE OR A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE SHAKING TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF POWER TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. *TR

I?M DRIVING MY 2019 FORD PICKUP AT NIGHT. THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO HIGH-BEAMS AND THEY ARE ENABLED IN THE SETTINGS. IT IS NIGHT AND I DON?T WANT MY HIGH-BEAMS ON SO I TOGGLE THEM OFF BY FLIPPING THE TURN INDICATOR HANDLE. A CAR IS APPROACHING FORM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS THE CAR APPROACHES AND PASSES BY ? WHAT SHOULD MY HIGH-BEAMS DO, STAY OFF OR TURN ON? SENSE I TURNED THEM OFF, I WOULD THINK THEY SHOULD SAY OFF BUT THEY DON?T, THEY COME ON. THIS CAN BE FURTHER EXACERBATED IN FOG. WE ALL KNOW THAT DRIVING WITH HIGH-BEAMS IN FOG IS DANGEROUS ? THE DRIVER COULD BE BLINDED BY THE LIGHT REFLECTION OFF THE FOG. THE SAME SCENARIO ABOVE BUT NOW DRIVING IN FOG WITH THE HIGH-BEAMS OFF ? A CAR IS APPROACHING FORM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER PASSING BY AND THE AUTO HIGH-BEAMS TURNS ON AND I BLINDED BY THE REFLECTION - I SWERVE OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A PEDESTRIAN (THAT LAST PART DID NOT HAPPEN, BUT IT COULD). WHO WOULD BE LIABLE IN THIS CASE? MY FORD DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AUTO HIGH-BEAMS AND THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE. I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND MUST BE ADDRESS AND RESOLVED. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP (2 WEEKS) FORD ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE TOO BUT THEY DON?T KNOW HOW TO FI

ON 7 OCCASIONS, VEHICLE RAN OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, RESEARCH OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWS ..... FORD (DEATH WOBBLE). *TR

EVERY 10K MILES, THE TRUCK DEVELOPS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN WHICH THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO QUICKLY BRAKE AND HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS YOU. DEALERS ARE SYMPATHETIC, BUT SAY THAT FORD CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE THE FRONT STABILIZER AND KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM WILL RETURN. THE CURRENT STABILIZER (THIRD) HAS JUST STARTED TO FAIL AT 31K MILES. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS WHILE TOWING (OR EVER) AND IT MAKES US SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. *TR

WHEN I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD I GET A VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL SHAKE, KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS ON THE WINDY ROAD I LIVE ON, PROBABLY GOING ROUGHLY 25-35 MPH USUALLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP WHILE TURNING. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES . IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. THE VEHICLE ONLY HADS 8500 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER.*DT *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+MPH) AND THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES DEATH WOBBLE TO A DEGREE THAT THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED EMERGENT UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS BELOW 10MPH. WHICH CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BECOME A ROAD HAZARD. FEAR IS THAT THE DEATH WOBBLE WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AS WELL, THERE IS INCREASING FRONT END VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 60MPH ON APPARENT SMOOTH INTERSTATES. *TR

FIVE OCCURRENCES OF 'DEATH WOBBLE' EXPERIENCED SO FAR. NO AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING IS STOCK FACTORY INSTALLED. 1) THE 1ST OCCURRENCE WAS ON 10/5/2019 AND WE WERE DRIVING SOLO UP A HILL ON HWY 550 DOING ABOUT 45-50 MPH CLIMBING A HILL. WE HIT A BUMP AND I THOUGHT WE HAD FLAT SO PULLED OVER TO CHECK. CHECK AND NO FLAT SO PROCEEDED AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN SO I NEVER BROUGHT IN TO HAVE THE DEALER (FORD) LOOK AT IT. I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC MILEAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. 2) THE 2ND OCCURRENCE WAS ON 5/14/2020 AND WE WERE TOWING OUR 12,000 LBS. 5TH WHEEL ON SOUTHBOUND I-25 IN THE MIDDLE LANE DOING ABOUT 55 MPH. I HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SCARED US TO DEATH AS WE HAD TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF US AND NEED TO SLOW RAPIDLY. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY WHILE KEEPING THE TRUCK IN MY LANE AND NOT GET RE-ENDED. THIS IS A VERY SCARY FEELING HAVING A TRUCK OUT OF CONTROL TOWING A 12K TRAILER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MILEAGE WAS 21,927. 3) THE 3RD OCCURRENCE WAS ON 5/14/2020 AND WE WERE TOWING OUR 12,000 LBS. 5TH WHEEL ON HWY 24 W DOING ABOUT 45 MPH. I HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY AS WE WERE HEADING UP HILL. MILEAGE WAS 21,975. 4) THE 4TH OCCURRENCE WAS ON 5/14/2020 AND WE WERE TOWING OUR 12,000 LBS. 5TH WHEEL ON HWY 24 W DOING ABOUT 45 MPH. I HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY AS WE WERE HEADING UP HILL. THIS WAS THE

AT 55MPH OR SO DRIVING OVER A HOLE, BUMP OR RAISED PORTION IN THE RODE WAY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE/SHIMMYING/WOBBLE SOME WHAT VIOLENTLY WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL FOR A DISTANCE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN AND IT THEN SUBSIDES. THE FEELING MAKE A PERSON FEEL LIKE THEIR LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IS SCARY. *TR

DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A FREEWAY, HIT A BUMP, FRONT WHEELS START SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THE ONLY WAY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES, LOSING TOTAL CONTROL OF VEHICLE, UNTIL THE SPEED IS ABLE TO GO DOWN TO AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH. EXTREMELY TERRIFYING WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WITH 18 WHEELERS ON BOTH SIDES OF YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, MOST RECENT ON 4-23-20. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE IN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH AND THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT IT SLOWED TO 20MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V808000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN SANG FORD (195 UPPER RIVER RD, GALLIPOLIS, OH 45631) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMED. AFTER THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED LOW VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRUCK WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE GOING OVER BUMPS AND WILL OCCASIONALLY THROW YOU OFF THE ROAD WHEN GOING OVER BUMPY ROADS ON FREEWAY. ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A SLIGHT CURB. DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY CHANGED STEERING STABILIZER. IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE REPAIR AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON THE HIGH. POSSIBLY INJURING OR KILLING MY PASSENGERS.

DEATH WOBBLE, FREQUENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY, MOVING

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR ON I-40 EAST IN AMARILLO TEXAS A COUPLE DAYS AGO + THE HIGHWAY GOT REALLY NARROW BETWEEN THE CONCRETE BARRIERS AND I GUESS I HIT A COUPLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MY FRONT END STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD IT MADE MY PICK UP CHANGE LANES AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP THE SHIMMY BY HITTING THE BRAKES TILL I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. THERE WAS A CAR JUST BEHIND ME TO THE LEFT THAT IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN. CLOSER, 20 FT MORE WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. THIS IS A NEARLY NEW VEHICLE ONLY 5200 MILES ON IT HAS NO OTHER FRONT END SHAKING PROBLEMS UNTIL I DID THIS. THANK YOU FOR ANY NEWS OR CAMPAIGNS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING I RAN OVER A SMALL POTHOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIOLENTLY WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH TO THE POINT THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THIS IS NOW COMMONLY CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE.

THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 70 MILES PER HOUR AFTER HITTING VARIOUS ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS ON THE FREEWAY. EVERYTHING FROM EXPANSION JOINTS TO SMALL POTHOLES. THE DEALER CHANGED THE STEERING STABILIZER TO THE UPDATED MODEL, BUT THE TRUCK STILL SHAKES WHILE GOING OVER THESE ROAD CONDITIONS, BUT DOES NOT WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL. "DEATH WOBBLE" TRUCK BEGAN THIS VIBRATION AT 10,000 MILES, AND THE WOBBLE TOOK PLACE THREE TIMES BEGINNING AT 13,000.

TRAVELING ON I287 AT 50 MPH WE HIT A CRACK IN PAVEMENT AND STEERING STARTED TO THRASH RAPIDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. WAS LUCKY NOT TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET FROM MIDDLE LANE TO SHOULDER AT RUSH HOUR ON I287 IN METRO NY NEAR THE RYE, NY GREENWICH, CT BORDER. HAD TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO HAVE THE STEERING STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE

TRUCK HAS DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM. WHILE IN MOTION IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN THE SUSPENSION CYCLES A CERTAIN WAY AND CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL

UNCONTROLLABLE AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK. AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL SHACK SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOME TIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND OR ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK IS A COMPLETE SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME, MY PASSENGERS, BUT ALSO THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. IT APPEARS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH FORD SUPER DUTY'S. IT IS CALL "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR RIGHTFUL REASONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HAVE FORD MAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN WHOLE. THEY NEED TO STOP SELLING THESE TRUCKS UNTIL THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT. ITS A ROLLING GRENADE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HITTING ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD RESULTED IN STEERING OSCILLATION OR DEATH WOBBLE UNTIL YOU SLOW TO BETWEEN 45 AND 40 MPH. FORD SERVICE ADVISED THE TRACK BAR, DRAG LINK, STEERING STABILIZER WERE ALL DEFECTIVE AND ON BACKORDER DUE TO SO MANY FAILURES. I HAVE MULTIPLE MPEG VIDEOS SHOWING IT HAPPENING AND HAVE GIVEN THEM TO FORD AND MY FORD DEALER.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN INTERSTATE 95 IN THE CENTER LANE AT ABOUT 75 MILES AN HOUR WITH ABOUT 2000 POUNDS OF TILE IN THE BACK. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HIT A BUMPY PATCH IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED VIBRATING LIKE A TUNING FORK. IT WAS VIBRATING SO FAST AND SO BAD THAT WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY (IN THREE LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC) IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. IT CONTINUED UNTIL WE COULD GET OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR A GOOD TEN OR FIFTEEN SECONDS MAYBE EVEN LONGER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TWO PALLETS OF TILE IN THE BACK END AND WAS WORRIED IT WAS GOING TO VIBRATE THEM ONTO THE ROAD. AFTER THE TRUCK STOPPED THE VIBRATING STOPPED OF COURSE. I WALKED AROUND LOOKING FOR A FLAT TIRE OR OTHER ISSUE BUT NOTHING. THEN WE GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WAS NO LONGER THERE. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM IN MUCH LESS SEVERE CASES MANY TIMES WHERE A VIBRATION HAPPENED AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT KELLY FORD AND THEY SAID UNLESS WE COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TONIGHT I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH FORD FOR A WHILE AND THERE'S EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INVOLVING THE ISSUE.

VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING UPON CONTACT WITH ROAD BUMPS OR APPLYING BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 50MPH. MUST REDUCE SPEED BELOW 40MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE MORE BRAKES APPLIED THE MORE SHAKING INTENSIFIES. STARTED AT 10K MILES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. PROGRESSED TO CONTACT WITH BUMPS/BOUNCES AND UNEVEN PAVEMENT. REPORTED IMMEDIATELY TO FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED AT 13,756 MILES (TOOK THAT LONG TO GET APPOINTMENT) AND CLAIMED STEERING DAMPNER BAD. TSB #19-2392 FROM FORD (USE NEW PART #) PART BACKORDERED FOR 7 WEEKS. CONTINUED TO DRIVE VEHICLE DURING THIS WAIT TIME AS THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A COMPARABLE VEHICLE AS A LOANER. FINALLY REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 19K MILES. ALIGNMENT CHECKED BY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS ALL OTHER PARTS ARE STILL GOOD. VIOLENT SHAKING RETURNED AT 19,867 MILES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. UPON HITTING ROUGH ROAD AND/OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END FEELS LOOSE AGAIN. NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AGAIN. RESPONSE WAS "WE DID WHAT FORD TOLD US TO DO". I ASKED FOR A MANAGER AND AM STILL WAITING FOR A CALL BACK.

NEAR BRAND NEW 2019 FORD F350 DUALLY TRUCK - EXPERIENCED THE SO-CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". WAS AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 50MPH AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE. WHEN HITTING THE "BUMP" IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE PAVEMENT, THE TRUCK WENT INTO THE VIOLENT SHAKE/SHIMMY AND I COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL - BRAKING DID NOT HELP UNTIL I COULD MANAGE TO SLOW TO ABOUT 2 MPH. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND THE BRIDGE/ROADWAY WAS AT A SLIGHT LEFT TURN WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. THIS EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKING IS KNOWN ONLINE AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. MY TRUCK IS NEARLY NEW, HAS ONLY 3600 MILES ON IT AND IS 100% STOCK. NO WHEEL/TIRE/SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE

WHILE TRAVELING 65-70 MPH ON HIGHWAY THE FRONT END OF TRUCK BEGAN OSCILLATING VIOLENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING. THE CONDITION WAS ONLY STOPPED AFTER EMERGENTLY BRAKING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY TO A FULL STOP. VERY SCARY!

ON NOV 20,2019, WHILE TRAVELING FROM CORNVILLE, AZ TO LITTLETON, CO I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT WOBBLE WITH MY 2019 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL TRUCK. I WAS STARTING TO GO UP RATON PASS IN NEW MEXICO (JUST NORTH OF RATON, NM) AND EXPERIENCED THE VIBRATION GOING ROUGHLY 60-65MPH. ON OUR RETURN HOME ON 12/02/19 I EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN WHEN DRIVING ON I25 THROUGH COLORADO SPRINGS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SANDERSON FORD IN GLENDALE, AZ AND THEY CONVEYED TO ME THAT FORD HAS AUTHORIZED THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER AND THAT WAS DONE ON 01/17/19. WHEN THIS CONDITION INITIALLY HAPPENED THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 9400 MILES AND ON THE RETURN TRIP THE MILEAGE WAS 10,127.

BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE FRONT END IS VERY LOOSE FEELING. LOTS OF STEERING WHEEL SHAKING ( SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT) WHEN HITTING BUMPS. DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND IT IS SLIGHTLY BETTER FOR NOW. I AM WORRIED THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAT IS CREATING UNWANTED WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CRITICAL STEERING LINKAGE AND IT WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED OFTEN TO KEEP IT SAFE. HAPPENS MOSTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR AND WORSE WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON CURVES LIKE TIGHT INTERSTATE ON RAMPS

WHEN DRIVING FROM SPEED LIMIT 60_80 AND I HIT A SMALL BUMP OR HOLE IN THE ROAD I EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE TO THE POINT I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY.

JUST BOUGHT TRUCK FROM FRED BEANS OF BOYERTOWN. TRUCK HAS VERY HARD SHAKING WHEN HITTING A ROUGH PART OF ROADWAY WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 50MPH AND UPWARD. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF TRUCK. IT'S HAS ALMOST LIKE A DEATH WOBBLE. VERY SCARY. WON'T STOP UNTIL TRUCK GO ABOUT 15 MPH. HAD FAMILY IN TRUCK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I EXPERIENCED THE FORD "DEATH WOBBLE". TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT 70MPH PULLING A LARGE 5TH WHEEL TRAILER I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW TO 40 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. I THOUGHT THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO COME APART. AS SOON AS I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY KEPT IT FOR A DAY AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SAID FORD WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION THAT WAS NOT YET READY. I ASKED THE DEALER TO ROTATE THE TIRES AND ALIGN THE FRONT END. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK ANOTHER DAY AND COMPLETED MY REQUEST. THE TRUCK IS A 2019 AND HAS JUST OVER 21,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP NOW I GRIP THE WHELL A LITTLE HARDER. I NOW UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED FOR THE ISSUE AND I WOULD FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE NHTSA HAS NOT STEPPED IN. I HOPE YOU HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH FORD AND WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I AM NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH WITH COMPUTERS TO UPLOAD A DOCUMENT. THE ONLY DOCUMENT I HAVE IS THE WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALER.

DRIVING AT 50 MPH, HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD, EXPERIENCED SEVERE SHAKING OF TRUCK AND STEERING OUT OF CONTROL. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED TO A NEAR STOP. FIRST HAPPENED 1/17/20 WITH 12,005 MILE. DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER ON 2/1/20 AT 13,120 MILES.

EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLE AND I NEARLY CRASHED. HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS AND STOP. ONLY HAVE 26000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING IT IN FOR THEM TO WORK ON BUT IT CONCERNS ME THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. OUR OTHER TRUCK THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME DID THE SAME THING THIS WEEK TOO AND ARE TAKING IT IN ALSO. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING WITH THESE TRUCKS. LUCKY NO ONE GOT HURT OR KILLED. REALLY SCARED ME TO DEATH.

TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT APPROX 65 MPH PULLING A CAMPER. TRUCK WAS UNCONTROLLABLE! TRUCK CONTINUED TO 'DEATH WOBBLE' MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD TRUCKS. IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL YOU WOULD WRECK!

WAS DRIVING WITH A LOAD OF ~19,000 POUNDS (FIFTH WHEEL) AT ~55 MPH, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP. THE FOLLOWING DAY WAS DRIVING WITHOUT A LOAD AT ~60 MPH, HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD, AND THE STEERING WHEEL BAGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS MORE THAN 5 TIMES BUT LESS THAN 10 DURING THE LAST 30 DAYS. THIS ISSUE BEGAN WHEN MY TRUCK HAD ~24000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS WHILE DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL ROADS, BUT ALL PAVED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE IS A STEERING DAMPENER THE DEALERSHIP WOULD LIKE TO TRY. I AM UNABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SEVERE SHAKING AND MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING SYSTEM CAUSING AN ALMOST LOSS IN CONTROL. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE 5TH TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT 55-60 MILES PER HOUR ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY WHEN I HIT A PATCH OF LIGHT BUMPS / GROOVES. THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL I SLOWED TO 40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN A 2 MILE STRETCH. THIS IS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' ISSUE REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF FORD OWNERS AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES CONTROL AND GETS KILLED.

FRONT WHEELS/STEERING STABILIZER BARS. 2019 F-350 SRW WITH 8' BED AND 5400 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED BOUNCING WHEN HITTING POTHOLES. IT WAS NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS (LESS THAN 35MPH) BUT IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEFINED AT SPEEDS OF OVER 35-40MPH. I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT OCCURRED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DOING ABOUT 45MPH AND TO A POINT WHERE I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NOTE: THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD OR DRIVEN RECKLESSLY. I RECENTLY TURNED IT IN TO FORD WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER INSTANCES REPORTED WITH THE SAME MODEL/YEAR TRUCK. TECHNICIAN STATED IT IS BECOMING A COMMON COMPLAINT AND RELATED TO A FAULTY FRONT WHEEL STABILIZER BARS. FORD IS CURRENTLY REPLACING THE STABILIZER BARS ON MY TRUCK. HENCE I FELT OBLIGATED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE IN HOPES TO AVOID SOMEONE POSSIBLY GETTING INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS FAULTY STABILIZER BARS.

WAS T BONED ON JAN. 17,2020 . HIT ON PASSENGER SIDE. TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE INSIDE CAB OF DRIVER SIDE ALMOST TRAPPING ME INSIDE.

ON 1/13/20 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. BY THE TIME I GOT SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SOP I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE (INCOMING TRAFFIC). LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT AS I WOULD OF BEEN HIT HEAD ON AND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY DEALER SAID HE HAD ANOTHER TRUCK WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WOULD TAKE 2 MONTHS TO GET A PART TO MAYBE FIX IT. $65,000 AND I HAVE A TRUCK I'M SCARED TO DRIVE. IT'S A 2019 WITH 7,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN. THE ISSUES WITH THESE TRUCKS ARE DEATH TRAPS. THIS TRUCK IS BASICALLY A ONE TON WRECKING BALL THAT I CAN LOSE CONTROL OF AT ANY MINUTE. IT'S MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. MY WIFE WON'T GET IN IT AND WON'T ALLOW THE KIDS IN THE TRUCK. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. SINCE IT HAPPENED I RESEARCHED POSSIBLE CAUSES AND HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES. AT THIS POINT I'M AFRAID TO I'M EITHER GOING TO DIE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS VEHICLE. IF I COULD SIMPLY RETURN IT I WOULD TOMORROW.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TRUCK RANDOMLY STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE ALMOST TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL. UPON RESEARCHING MY ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE CONSIST WITH WHAT IS KNOW AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM UNABLE TO USE MY TRUCK FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.

SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION (AKA DEATH WOBBLE) WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I DROVE OVER A ROUGH BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 25MPH AND THE OSCILLATIONS CEASED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-350. AFTER THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A SLIGHT SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH OVER A POTHOLE, THERE WAS A SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND VEERED INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDERSON FORD (6400 N 51ST AVE, GLENDALE, AZ 85301, (800) 729-3501), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED SURPRISE FORD (16825 W WADDELL RD, SURPRISE, AZ 85388, (623) 792-2522) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PLANNED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

DEATH WOOBLE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SAID PARTS ARE BEING REDESIGNED 4-6 WEEKS OUT WILL CALL WHEN THEY GET THEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TRUCK HAS 21000 MILES ON IT PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES ON HIGHWAY 70-80 MPH.

AFTER HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSION JOIN AT APPROX 60 MPH T IN NEW HAMPSHIRE I EXPIERENCED A SPEED WOOBLE SO SEVERE I HAD TO STOP AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, THE WOBBLE WAS SO SEVERE I WAS UNABLE TO TURN OR GET OFF HIGHWAY . THIS HAS OCCURED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH BUT THE LAST WOBBLE WAS VERY SEVERE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2019 F-350 WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES . THIS HAS OCURED FREQUENTLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BUT WAS NOT VERY SEVERE , MY CONCERN IS IF MY CHILD WAS DRIVING THIS TRUCK LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT OR ROLLOVER . AFTER GETTING ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM WITH THE SUPERDUTIES WONDERING WHY NO RECALL?

WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS GROOVES, EXPANSION CRACKS, OR JUST UNEVEN ROADWAYS THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP IS BY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO SPEEDS AROUND 20MPH. SO FAR IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND ONE OF THE TIMES TOOK ME OFF THE ROAD.

I PURCHASED A NEW F350 IN 04/19. IT HAS AN ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE STEERING AND FRONT END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ISSUE IS ONLY CORRECTED BY SLOWING THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL STOP SHAKING. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 12 TIMES AS OF 12/31/19. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY MADE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPLACED STEERING DAMPENER BOTH TIMES AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT A PRESENT UNTIL 6-8 WEEKS AFTER REPAIRS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAS NOT LED TO AN ACCIDENT YET.

AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH, WHEN HITTING ROUGH PAVEMENT OR A JOINT IN THE ROADWAY (SUCH AS A FREEWAY OVERPASS OR BRIDGE), THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES (OSCILLATES) VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. IT CANNOT RECOVER UNTIL SPEEDS ARE REDUCED BELOW 45 MPH. THIS IS REPEATABLE. I HAVE FILMED AN OCCURRENCE AND POSTED ON YOUTUBE FOR REVIEW: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=RUPSA7KDSJO THIS VIDEO SHOWS A TYPICAL OCCURRENCE. TRAVELING ABOUT 75 MPH ON A CLEAR, FLAT, STRAIGHT STRETCH OF FREEWAY (I-25, JUST SOUTH OF FORT COLLINS, CO). A SMALL JOINT (A NORMAL PART OF THE FREEWAY) CAUSED THE WHEELS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, WHICH CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND OSCILLATE BACK AN FORTH. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL OR EVEN GRASP THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO FIND A WAY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. ONCE SPEEDS DIP BELOW ABOUT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO RECOVER. MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND HAS NO AFTERMARKET PARTS, SHOCKS, LIFTS, OR OTHER EQUIPMENT. IT HAS STOCK WHEELS, STOCK TIRES, STOCK SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, ETC. IT HAD ABOUT 13,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS PROBLEM BEGAN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM (INTERNET) AND FORD HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN TSO 18-2268 TO ADDRESS. HOWEVER, THIS TSB ONLY APPLIES TO TRUCKS BUILT ON OR BEFORE 31-JULY-2018. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT DURING MARCH 2019. FORD CLEARLY HASN'T RESOLVED THE UNDERLYING ISSUE AND NOW DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN ACTIVE TSB TO ADDRESS THE SYMPTOMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-350. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALEY FORD RICHMOND (10724 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, RICHMOND, VA 23237) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR WAS BLOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
