This truck has the "death wobble". We do not feel safe driving this vehicle. We have dealt with three dealerships and ford's customer service department, to no avail. We are told the part to fix this is on back log with no expected date given. In researching this issue it is obviously a very dangerous issue that is being blamed on a steering stabilizer, but also the front axels.

There is a severe oscillation of the steering system when hitting a bump in the road, bridge expansion joint, etc. This is knows as death wobble. The vehicle shakes violently and control is lost until there is a significant decrease in speed. Mine will do this oftentimes at 40-50mph and also at highway speeds. This is a very widespread issue. Ford has been putting "band aid" on things to get it out of warranty.…

In asheville, nc; driving 2019 f250 on interstate highway at approximately 70 mph in a straight line, rough pavement created a severe shaking (wobble) to the entire truck. Had to pull over onto the shoulder of the highway and almost stop before shaking/wobble ceased. Checked to ensure all tires were inflated and continued down the interstate. After travelling approximately 10 additional miles, hit a rough bridge…

While driving at approximately 75mph with my family in the vehicle, we went over a small bump on the highway which seemingly triggered a violent shaking of the steering wheel/suspension. I was traveling in the left lane and had to make my way over to the side of the road (while the violent shaking continued). The shaking didn't stop until the vehicle came to a complete stop. I had purchased the truck as a certified…

I believe i have experienced the known 'death wobble'. When going 65 mph or more and hit a bump with a turn i'd lose control and my truck would feel like my front tires had blown or shocks had failed. I'd slow down and pull over and the truck looked fine. At lower speeds it does not seem to happen. I've experienced it twice now. All ford has said is i need a new steering stabilizer, that is on back order. They claim…

On three occasion now while driving on the highway at a high rate of speed around 75-80 mph the vehicle started shaking and i couldn't control the steering. Felt like i was loosing control of the vehicle and was thankful there was no other vehicle next to me because i would have surely been in an accident because of the violent vibration and loss of control of the steering and the drifting of the vehicle into other…

While driving my 2019 f250 super-duty on 4 lane highway in clear weather i drove through a dip in the road and the truck started shaking violently and osculating from side to side . I had to grip and immediately grip and start to brake to regain control of my vehicle. I slowed to get it to stop and proceeded on with caution. This truck has 19305 miles showing when this first happened. I am afraid to let my family in…

At highway speed when i drive over a bump or expansion joint on a bridge it initiates extremely severe shaking/wobble of the front suspension of the truck. The shaking/wobble will not stop until i hit the brakes and slow down to about 30 mph. This is an extremely traumatic experience. The truck is 11 months old. This has happened three times. The first event was in october 2019 at 17,000 miles on the odometer and…

We were driving down the interstate at 70 miles per hour and hit a bump in the road and the steering wheel began excessively shaking. We lost complete control of the vehicle and had to carefully slow down and come to a stop on the side of the highway. This has happened multiple times now. We took the car into ford for service. They are aware of the issue, called "death wobbles" and says the part needed to fix is on…

Vehicle begins to shake violently when at interstate speeds(70+mph) when hitting rough areas or entering bridges. Today we almost hit a bridge when it happened. It has happened 4 or 5 times in the month. The only way to stop it is to quickly reduce speed and fight steering wheel with both hands. Very difficult to do this on the interstate with other traffic. It began doing this 6 weeks ago at near 8,000 total miles.…

The air temperature outside was 39 degrees fahrenheit. The bed of the pickup (with tonneau cover) was empty and without load. The highway at that segment was in good condition, but there was a…

My f250 is experiencing what they call the death wobble. I have taken it to 2 different ford dealers only to be told they have no fix for it and basically sent me on my way with it. No offer for a rental vehicle or anything. I was driving on i20/59 between exit 8 and 68 when it has occurred 3 times so far. Almost lost control of the vehicle to the point my passenger refused to ride again. I hit a bump in the road…

Starting at 15,500 my truck started the so called "death wobble" ford has been having trouble with. This is my second new truck in 2 years with it and the problem doesn't get fixed. When hitting the slightest bump my truck becomes unstearable due to violent shaking. Ford of uniontown has seen the video of my truck doing it, their service technicians have also experienced it and the only answer i get is " be careful"…

Center lane of interstate at 70mph when crossing a bridge expansion joint the steering wheel began shaking uncontrollably and i was unable to steer until slowing to 30mph. This has happened 2x in 2 days. Dealership says they will replace steering damper but that problem will return. Force ford to correct this issue before someone dies.

Upon reaching highway speeds(approximately 55-75mph) the front end began to violently shake. This issue started as mere off tracking of the front end, the truck would steer itself. This ended up progressing into such a violent shake that it drove itself off the road. I had no control over the vehicle, and steering control is gone. I wound up in a ditch on my fourth experience with this violent shake.

I have experienced "death wobble" multiple times. It happens when going above 50 mph on the highway. Usually near a bridge or overpass. The vehicle steering becomes impossible to control and the steering wheel and the truck begin shaking violently. The first time it happened was at 6100 miles on an interstate while the truck was going 70 mph. The weather conditions were dry, no wind or rain, and the road condition…
