I was traveling on a highway doing approximately 70 mph (speed limit). When i hit a bridge expansion joint the truck started violently vibrating to the point i was losing control of the vehicle. I rapidly decelerated and the violent shaking stopped after i slowed the vehicle to approximately 25 mph. The shaking was so violent i was seconds away from veering off the road into the trees. There is a technical bulletin…

While driving at highway speeds (60mph), i hit a bump in the road and the truck began to shake violently in the front end, to a point that i felt i might lose control. The only way i could get it to stop was to significantly reduce speed. This has happened twice now and is "very" concerning. The second time was at highway speed as well, this time 70mph.

I was driving my truck on christmas day and hit a small bump on the highway and all of a sudden my truck started shaking violently and was hard to control. I slowed down to approx. 30-35 mph and the shaking went away. This is the second time this has happened. I took it to the dealer and the service tech said it was 'death wobble' and even put that on the service order. They said they would order a new improved…

Multiple times, in the last few months, i have experienced the "death wobble " in my truck. The truck has less than 45000 miles. The death wobble usually happens after a bump in the road, which causes the truck to shake violently. It is extremely scary, losing control of the truck.

I had just stopped for gas and got back on the highway and was in the passing lane going over a bridge deck and as soon as i came off the bridge the truck started shaking horribly. I let the car next to me pass as i slowed down and pulled over. Scared myself and my uncle to death and still had to drive 160 miles to get home. After returning home i have taken it to the local dealer and they replaced damper steering…

While traveling at 70 mph dry roads, the front end started to shake violently after hitting a bump in the road. After online research i believe this to be the dreaded "death wobble" that numerous people have reported but yet ford has not fixed the issue for years.

We were pulling 5th wheel at approximately 70 mph. Hit bump in road. Pickup started shimming/shaking violently, almost lost control. Had to reduce speed immediately which is hard to do in traffic. However, this happened again without the fifth wheel driving down the road at approximately 75 mph. Hit bump in road and you have to all but slam on the brakes to get it to stop. Did this again 3-4 times trying to reach…

Death wobble. Vehicle goes into a violent shake when the road surface transitions or when truck comes in contact with a bump. Front end of the truck shakes violently. Truck has to be slowed down nearly to stop before it stops. Major issue when you are on an interstate with other vehicles and peoples lives around you.

I have a severe wobble in the front end of my truck. It isn't a constant wobble and i never know when it will happen. I notice it happens at higher speeds and when hitting a bump. I have been to the dealership with this problem. The first time they replaced the steering stabilizer it didn't help. The second time i was told everything was tight and right and that my tires were out of balance. I had them balanced that…

Death wobble in the 2017 ford f250 is not acceptable. We were nearly killed this past weekend. Ford service has it right now. But from all the reviews i have read, the wobble returns and usually after the warranty has expired.. This is a serious problem. It happened one time to us 6 months ago, and this past weekend about 5 or 6 times on a [redacted] trip. Shakes and wobbles uncontrollably . We were on i-40 going…

Tailgate opens while driving down the road, ford did not respond when i first identified this problem, then i lost an expensive tool box full of tools from the back of my truck, still no resolution and i'm out thousands of dollars. Ford does not care after the sale.
