Death wobble that others have described. I have 4300 highway miles on my vehicle. Common issue on forum threads that i have read among super duty owners. Terrifying wobble at 50 mph, almost ended up in a ditch. Was able to regain control when speed was slowed to 25.

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…

My vehicle experienced three "death wobble" occurrences. All within a few hundred miles of each other. 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…

At approximately 7 months after purchase, the truck started experiencing a minor "shutter" that seemed random. It worsened at speeds around 70mph & felt like driving over rough pavement. It was not constant. When encountered, it could be corrected by reduction in speed. The frequency & intensity of occurence increased to the point that in one day it happened 3 times (typical was 2-3 per week) and i almost lost…

I am experiencing what is referred to as a death wobble at highway speeds over 50 mph. I currently have 14k on the odometer. Dealer or ford has not repaired at this time. Wobble is getting worse. The only way to stop is to slow the vehicle down. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle on the highway anymore. Dealer did not disclose issue before recently purchasing the 2019 f250 and from what i am finding out on the…

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.…

On 11-15-2019 while on hwy i-95 south, at about 72mph , my f250 started shaking violently at the front end after going over slightly rough patch of road. The shaking was so violent that i lost control of the vehicle for a few minutes. Vehicles near me had to avoid me until i was able to slow down to about 25mph. Had i been on a curvature , i would have surely crashed. On 11-17-2019 , i experienced the death wobble…

The truck just turned 15,000 miles and has experienced severe death wobble and the dealership has no parts to fix my truck to make it safe to drive. It has happened at least 5 times with my wife and 3 kids in the vehicle.

2019 f-250 4x4 "death wobble" at 4,400 miles. I noticed on back roads at 45-55 mph front-end left acting like it was loose on steering, but i don't drive it much. Took a trip and several times (10+) at 65-70 front would wobble a little when hitting small uneven pavement. One time it went into the death wobble and had to do an emergency stop into the median because it was shaking itself apart. Shook so hard the water…
