While driving down the interstate on a warm, clear, dry day at a speed of approximately 75 miles per hour, on a straight section of road. I hit a small pot hole on the drivers side, front tire. At that exact moment, the steering wheel started to shake violently from left to right, and the entire truck began to "bounce" rapidly. The more pressure i applied to the brakes, the less control i had stopping the "bounce".…

2019 f250, approx. 13k miles. Travelling straight on highway 60-65 mph and truck entered into the well known "death wobble" or rapid, rhythmic, dangerous oscillation of the front tires causing loss of steering control.

Death wobble- freeway driving, uncontrollable, violent shaking, unresponsive steering and brake control. Ford is aware of the problem. I have had in the dealership to resolve the issue, and it was not fixed. I am in fear for my life and my family as well as other drivers on the road as the truck is uncontrollable when this happens. This happened three times on the freeway, and then another after it was taken in to…

Earlier today i experienced a loss of control at highway speeds while driving my 2019 f-250 fx-4. Internet research this evening made me aware of the 'death wobble' that has been reported to your agency. The issue was resolved by quick deceleration - i actually pulled into the median and expected to see one of the wheels about to come off. I will follow up with ford but suspect that they are well aware of the…

Starting at around 22,000 miles.(november 2019) extreme steering wheel oscillation and uncontrollable lane shifts. These occurred after hitting a pot hole or a seam in the road. All of my occurrences were at highway speed. The only remedy is to immediately brake hard and attempt to move to the shoulder. I contacted…

Truck vibrates violently after hitting a bump at higher speeds on the highway. I have to slam on the brakes and slow down to approximately 20 mph to get the truck to stop shaking. The violent shaking only happens when truck is above 45mph. Shaking comes on suddenly and feels like it veers to the left. This issue has happened 3 times in the last month.

A few times now my f250 has gone into a death wobble while traveling approximately 70 mph on the highway. It takes all my strength to keep the truck in control and come to almost a complete stop, for the shaking to cease. Dampener was replaced once, and the same problem occurs. It is in the shop again and now waiting a week with no answer. I will not put my family in this truck as it is too unsafe and unpredictable.…
