Death wobble when driving down the road. This vehicle when entering onto the interstate and driving over an expansion joint while merging into traffic at 75-80mph (speed limit on interstate was 80mph), the vehicle started to shake violantly in the front steering wheel, almost like a tire came off. I had a vehicle in the passing lane beside me with a horse trailer on and it was bad enough he slowed down and pulled…

When driving at highway speeds, violent shaking happens after hitting bumps. The only way to regain control is to reduce speed. We have a fleet which includes 46 new f250's and f350's. Were are experiencing this issue with 5 trucks so far. All issues are starting between 8000 and 15000 miles.

I was driving down the interstate at approximately 70mph and my truck went into a "death wobble". I slowed down to around 15 mph to make it stop. The following week, it did it again on the interstate at 75 mph. I was in heavy traffic, with my family, and i had to put on warning lights, and slow down to an unsafe speed on the interstate. Later that week, a colleague borrowed my truck and was traveling down a highway…

While driving around a slow radius in the highway at about 50mph i hit a rough spot in the road that caused violent shaking of the steering wheel, which most refer to as "death woble". This caused the front end to loose traction and scoot across the road. To overcome it i had to significantly slow down my rate of speed. My currently has 2857 miles on it. This has happened to lesser amounts previously.

Truck has the death wobble goes into a violent shake very randomly with no warning have to apply heavy brakes to regain control. Steering wheel shakes very bad and the whole front end feels like it's going to come apart. Truck is very dangerous to drive.

Mid to high speeds if i hit any sort of bump or any sort of hole in the road the front end starts to vibrate severely and steering wheel vibrates and shakes and i have to immediately decelerate. It is exactly what i see other ford users describing online as the death wobble.

The truck experience extreme "bump steer" and harmonic oscillations so harsh as to seem like it was a multiple tire blow out. Dealer tested and experienced same issue. Had 32,727 miles on the truck at the time. Ford tsb…

F250, 6.7l diesel, 4wd, crew cab, 25,000 miles. Vehicle control lost when traversing expansion joints (especially at bridge/road interface) at highway speeds (~70mph). The steering wheel wobbles erratically and the truck uncontrollably jumps laterally and at a slight angle, up to the width of an entire lane. Fortunately, there has been no vehicle (or structure) adjacent to the truck; i would have hit it! In all…
