When I hit any kind of bump in the road, especially when you change lanes the truck shakes so violently you have to slow down to about 10 miles an hour to get it to stop. This has been happening for years & on a few occasions it almost caused an accident. On one occurrence it was so bad the truck shook me off of the highway. This is an ongoing issue, I have tried many repairs to try to alleviate this problem with no luck.

For about the last 12 months, my truck has what they call the death wobble. This is happened continuously at speeds of 40 to 60 miles an hour and sometimes even takes me off the road and I have to pull over and stop. In addition, I believe the brakes went out due to the continuous wobbling

DEATH WOBBLE. I experienced the death wobble for the first time a few days ago on a road that I drive twice a day. This road has bumps in the road when you are heading west, but I was heading east and have never experienced any kind of steering issue when traveling that direction. The truck started shaking as the front springs and shock absorbers were fighting against each other. The steering wheel was uncontrollable. The only way to stop the wobble was to slow down to a near stop. Ford needs to issue a recall on this issue, as it is a safety hazard to the driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road.

On more than one occasion I experienced a violent shaking while driving on highway speeds. The incident happened out of no where. I had my child in the backseat so I tried to slow down quickly not sure if made it worse but the shaking / wobbling didn-€™t stop till came to a complete stop. I was in fear of our safety so i got of the highway pulled aside and checked my superduty for suspension or steering issues. Everything thing looked normal so i decided to get back on the road. Truck seemed fine again. Didn-€™t think much of it till it happened again, same deal very scary. I did do a bit of research online and found out that this was a common problem with Ford super duty models. This is 2022 why hasn-€™t this been addressed" Do people have to die before Ford is held accountable" This is my work truck Mon-Fri and my family truck the rest of the time. I will get this repaired at my expense in order to keep my family safe. Please do something about this. Make Ford responsible for selling trucks that are dangerous to drive.

I-€™ve been experiencing the death wobble, which is a violent shaking that happens to the front end of my Ford F250 Super Duty trucks. It typically occurs at speeds over 50 miles per hour. It also happens after going over bumps or grooves in the road. To stop the shaking, I must quickly slow way down or even stop completely. It-€™s terrifying, especially when I-€™m driving with my 2 children in the truck.

At highway speeds if you hit a bump the front end goes into a wobble that translates to the steering wheel. If you slow down the problem stops.This has happened to me twice in the last 3 weeks. Incredibly dangerous especially in a 10,000 lb truck at 70 mph, and if you were towing something it could be catastrophic. I went online and found hundreds of people complaing about the exact same problem with their 2005 - 2019 F250 and F350's. Does someone need to get killed before Ford is forced to address the issue "??"

A common, but irregular violent shaking of the steering after I go over a bump in the road of come off an overpass. Sometimes it happens once in a week, sometimes it will happen 2 times in 2 miles. The problem doesn't occur under 45 MPH. It is so dangerous that I don't want anyone driving my truck except me, in case this happens again. Very scary. Very dangerous.

I purchased a 2013 Ford F-250 and ever since I bought it it had speed wobbles on the freeway. Took it into the dealership numerous times and they did nothing, I filed a lemon law complaint, they didn't help and again Ford did nothing!!!! Bought a 2015 been dealing with this same issue since I purchased it, on the freeway you feel your teeth are going to come out and rattle out of your skull! I just been dealing with it but the other night 10-06-21 I almost got into a major accident and almost died and that's when I thought I better look and see if there's any class action law suit going on against Ford, knowing this problem exist and not lifting a finger to fix the issue!

It hits a small bump in the road an it shakes so hard that I ave to jerk the wheel hard one direction an slam on the brakes to make it stop. Normally it happens around 60-65. When it starts shaking if I am in traffic it is scary. Have to pull over to the side of road. I think I only have 80k miles on the thing. It is random. Sometimes it does it for no reason, sometimes you hit a bump an nothing happens. Once it starts nothing will stop it but to slow down really slow. I thought it was maybe a tire out of balance so I had them rotated an thought it fixed it. The only way to keep it from shaking now is to not drive it.

At highway speeds the truck will start shaking violently with what seems to be referred to as the Death Wobble online. This started in may of this year. The truck has been to the dealer to fix this issue at least 3 times and is there again. I will obtain the paperwork from the dealer. I have video's of this, one from May 11 prior to the first fix, one on June 25th after the next fix and another one on August 28th. Prior to the August 28th video, the Dealer had made contact with Ford on June 25th to start a hotline case. Ford and the dealer said it's ok to keep driving it and not to bring it back to them until July 13th. After dropping this truck off on the 13th, they kept the truck until August 27th because they were working with Ford. This vehicle is not safe to drive. When it starts the death wobble, it will not stop before slowing down below 50 mph, in some cases even further than that. It is not something that would come thru in pictures but I can send you links to the video's I have.

I was traveling down Hwy 75 north at 70to 75 mph when i hit a series of bumps in succession and it sent the truck into a highspeed wobble which would not stop. I changed lanes thinking it was the road but it continued making steering difficult. I slowed down rapidly and moved off the road in traffic to a stop finally on the shoulder. Everything checked out and I proceeded on my way. This was very abnormal it was a excessively violent shake that did not stop until I stopped.

This is the second 2015 Ford F-250 we have driven with the death wobble. The first one was a test drive before we purchased the one we have. We were driving it on the interstate and hit a bump and it started shaking profusely and was very scary. I could see this causing a very bad accident. We figured this one had something severely wrong with it and wasn't in the best condition. It has 60K on it. The we have now has 150K on it and about 5K ago it did the same thing. We took it in for repairs and they replaced the components in the steering that seemed to be of issue. The issue is better but still has a bad shake in the front end when hitting a bump. This seems to be very common with these trucks up to model year 2019. Ford should issue a recall and fix the problem with these trucks.
