2017 f250 with 35k. First time hauling my 3 horse bumper pull trailer. Went over the bump onto an overpass on the interstate going 70 and the whole truck started shaking violently. The seats and steering wheel were shaking. It was terrifying. I slowed to 55 and it stopped. It did it to me twice yesterday with sophie in the car. I googled 2017 f250 shaking. It's a death wobble. And lots of people are having the issue.

At approximately 65 to 70 mph and upon hitting a bump/expansion joint/pothole in the road, the truck will enter into a non-dampening castor oscillation (i.e. Death wobble). When this occurs it can be very difficult to control and the driver must slow down to approximately 40 - 45 mph to get the wobble to stop. This can be extremely dangerous when towing a large/heavy trailer.

I brought the truck in for service as this occurs frequently. Ford replaced several steering parts and admitted to what they call a "death wobble". What scares me the most is that the wobble was so bad, it forced me into the medial of the interstate and…

I have a 2017 ford f250 that has "death wobble" issues. It becomes uncontrollable if it hits rough pavement on the highway, usually at 70 mph. If the truck begins to shake it is uncontrollable. It is nearly impossible to steer. The only way to regain control is to slow to about 20 mph or stop completely. While decelerating it will get worse that at 70 mph for a short time, and then slowly stop shaking. I have been…

I took the truck to the dealer after i noticed the tpms was malfunctioning after about 4,000 miles and 3 months of operation. The tpms originally showed a dramatic fault in one tire, but later showed faults in three. The readings changed continually from tire to tire and sometimes were as low as 40 psi in some tires. The dealer replaced 1 sensor but could not get the tpms to calibrate. I returned the next day after…
