Going down the road and started experiencing the death wobble. Could barely hold on to the steering wheel and felt like a tire was gonna come off.

While driving down the highway at 75 miles an hour I passed over a bridge and my Ford truck started shaking violently. I had to slow down to get it under control. This has continued to happen while driving at any speed when passing over bumps going over bridges etc. The only way to stop the shaking is to quickly slow down endangering me and everyone else. This violent shaking happens every time we drive the truck.

Hit a bump on interstate and truck began shaking violently as if it were about to come apart. Slowed down to 30 mph (on the interstate!) and the shaking stopped. Recently had work done on the steering damper and other suspension elements. Unsure if this fix worked.

I was driving my truck on 6 lane highway at highway speeds, 65-75mph. When I hit a bump in the road the entire vehicle began to shake violently. The truck was hard to control and the steering and braking of the vehicle were greatly impaired and the shaking didn't stop until I decreased the speed by at least 15-20mph. This has happened several times when either one tire hits a pothole in the road or both tires hit an uneven bridge on the highway.

This truck has what is known as in the internet as death wobble, I got the vehicle recently from a dealer with no info on the manner. The truck loses control briefly when over 60 miles per hour when the front tires drive through small holes or bumps on the road, more common on the highway. Has happened multiple times, tbis specific incident happened on the highway over 60 miles per hour, lost control briefly, had to significantly slow down to regain control.

My 2015 F250 has developed the notorious Ford death wobble. When the truck hits a bump, bridge joint, or any large enough deformity in the road it will cause the truck to shake violently and lose all steering control. This has happened 4 separate times now and it is only getting more frequent. I have booked an appointment with a Ford service department on 24jun2020 to have the suspension looked at. Unfortunately, I have not been able to document the incident yet, but I have had others in the vehicle with me when it has happened.

Tengo una Ford 250 2015 Y en varias ocasiones cuando voy conduciendo a 50 millas Y hay parches irregulares en la carretera O alguna irregularidad en la calle el vehculo comienza a temblar Y pierdo el control del volante tengo que reducir la velocidad para que vuelva a la normalidad. Le he reemplazado la barra del pitman Y los terminales, pero contina con el problema. I have a 2015 Ford 250 and on several occasions when I'm driving 50 miles and there are irregular patches on the road or some irregularity on the street the vehicle begins to shake and I lose the steering wheel control I have to reduce the speed. I have replaced the pitman bar and terminals, but the problem continues.

I was driving at 60 mph on an interstate flyover that was curving to the left and hit an expansion joint. The truck began to shake violently. I almost lost control and had to quickly slow down to around 30 mph before the shaking stopped.

Bought this F 250 platinum new in 2015 it started having a front end wobble problem, some call it the "death wobble' I paid to have it fixed and it has happened intermittently since then and now it is worse than ever, I cannot in good conscience sell this car like this.

Front suspension shakes violently when traveling above 50mph and striking any type of uneven road surface. Bumps, holes, groves, expansion joints, etc cause the front wheels to shake uncontrollably until the truck slows down to approximately 25mph.

Numerous times since I bought the pickup I have experienced the death wobble. I bought the pickup Oct. 2019 and have put 6K miles. I've had the tires checked but was told all tires we fine. I've had them rotated too. The times this has happened I've been on the freeway going about 60 to 70 miles per hour. If I hit some type of transition or uneven area on the freeway it begins to shake violently and I have to quickly maneuver to the shoulder without causing an accident. It has become more frequent and I am frightened that the wheel will fly off or I'm going to end up slamming into another vehicle or maybe even the median wall. The only way that the shaking stops is if I slow down under 50 miles per hour. Then and only then I can continue on and pick up speed, but has happened shortly after back to back to back.

"death wobble" my truck is experiencing a violent shacking of the steering whee ( death wobble) when you hit a bump or pothole at highway speeds.

- Sherman, TX, USA

With approximately 35,000 miles on the truck, I experienced a extremely violent oscillation in the steering. Everything in the truck was shaking and it was difficult to hold onto the steering wheel and maintain control of the vehicle until I could decrease speed to about 50mph or less. The oscillation did not happen again for approximately 6 months. Then it happened again 2 times back to back. After that I did not have the issue for more than a year. Then about 3 months ago (with roughly 49,000 miles), it started back again and has happened countless times since. When I reach 60mph the oscillation starts out light but progressively gets worse until it is in a full on "death wobble". all items in the truck are shaking around and falling in the floor. My wife will not drive the truck due to this issue and I wouldn't feel comfortable with her driving it. I am writing this report mainly for the thousands of other Ford Super Duty owners that have experience this issue and for some, have been in accidents because of it. There are literally facebook groups created solely for the discussion of the "Ford death wobble" and any potential solutions. From reports I have read, the dealerships, in many cases have not been successful in correcting the issue. Some reports state the repairs and say that it was a "band-aid" and that the issue returned shortly after the repairs. Others say that the dealers have told them that there is nothing else they can do. There also have been some reports that says it was corrected, at least for the time being. I have seen reports on vehicles as new as 2019 models with around 5,000 miles on them. This is definitely a safety related issue and I hope Ford is pushed to make this right for their customers. I have videos but they are the wrong file type. Date below is most recent occurrence. Thanks!

When truck hits a bump at highway speeds, especially in a left hand curve and down hill slope, it starts shaking violently. It becomes hard to steer and braking hard only makes the problem worse. You can only left off the gas and slow down hoping you can keep it on the road until it stops. It happened twice on our family vacation with my wife and kids in the truck. They feared for their lives. After that trip the dual steering stabilizer, 2"lift and adjustable track bar were installed.it took 6 months of replacing different parts, alignments, balancing tires, modifying suspension to finally correct the problem at a cost of over $2,600.

I have a 2015 F250 6.7 platinum powerstroke with 78K on it and I'm experiencing the "Ford death wobble." I can not get a straight answer from anybody and I'm stick with this issue. The truck is not even safe to drive. As soon as my speed reaches around 50mph I get an uncontrollable front end shaking, to the point where the steering wheel takes 2 hands to hold onto and I have to decelerate to about 10-15mph to straighten the truck out again. I thought it was tires, so I went out and had $1,600 worth of tires put on it with an alignment, nope. Not the tires. So I took it my local mechanic, who I trust very well. He went through my front end with a fine tooth comb only to discover a worn U-joint on the four wheel drive axel which isnt the cause of the Ford death wobble. He literally told me that he was at a loss for word and could not find the problem because my front end was so tight and stiff. Long story short, I called my local Ford shop and they told me that Ford recognizes the problem and that it's a steering dampener. Well, guess what? my 2015 F250 does not have a steering dampener! the Ford service manager told me I was pretty much fu*%ed! wow! what a slap in the face!!

Death wobble: When the vehicle is moving and hits a groove or bump (does not have to be a major groove or bump) in the road going upward of 50 mph, it will begin to shake violently. The shaking can only be stopped by a sudden and substantial reduction of speed, which adds to the danger, particularly on the highway. I have several videos of this occurring that I would like to share. The videos take place after bringing it to my local Ford dealer and them claiming nothing is wrong.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 60-70 mph I drove across a bridge transition point when out of the blue my truck began to wobble excessively to the point I had to merge to my right and slow down to under 40 mph to get the wobble to stop. Cars behind could see I was in some sort of trouble and they would not pass me. Once the wobble stopped I proceeded to merge back onto the freeway and once again the wobble started as soon as I passed over the bridge transition. Again I applied my brakes and moved over to the right for my safety as well as others. The mileage on my truck at that time was 20,780 miles. I took the truck to my Ford dealer and explained the situation to them. They inspected the truck and replaced the steering damper assembly. The problem did go away until August 19, 2019 with 34,052 miles when it happened again in the same location. I returned to the dealer again and they replaced the steering damper again. It resolved the issue for 1695 miles and it happened again several time at different locations on different freeways. This time replacing the damper did not work. They also told me I needed to have them install a caster/camber adjuster shim to resolve the problem. That also did not work. They have readjusted the camber and caster with worse results. They now tell me that I need to replace my tires which still have 6/32 of tread left on them. The truck has now been at the dealership for six weeks with no fix available. They put a set of tires and rims off of another new truck and said the problem went away. So what there telling me is I will have to replace my tires every 20,000 miles which be ridiculous. Ford has a big problem that they don't want to admit. I believe a dual steering stabilizer unit will fix this problem but they don't want to admit that would work. This needs to be a recall asap to save lives.

I recently purchased a 2015 F250 Super Duty. It was a clean title no accidents. Shortly after purchasing the truck I was driving between 43 -55 mph on a county road when my steering wheel and in fact the entire truck started shaking so violently I was having trouble maintaining control. I managed to slow down quickly and it stopped. After several more occurrences all at the same speeds I took my truck to a specialty wheel and alignment shop and paid nearly 1,000 dollars to have this fixed. After new bushings, new tires, new shocks, new steering and new alignment it abated for 3 months. It is now back and as scary as ever. I had a 2004 F250 Super Duty and never had this kind of issue. I have now learned this is a known problem that Ford will not acknowledge or even recall. I may have to sell this truck because of the danger to the rest of my family. There is also a class action law suit over this known and very dangerous problem. Please look into this before more money and more damage is caused. If you have not been in a truck that does this come to Texas and take a ride with me. I promise it will scare you into action. This has been my problem since March. It is always on rougher roads or after hitting uneven pavement.

- Iowa, LA, USA

Hello, on highway going between 60-70 miles an hour, it goes into a death wobble that nearly threw truck off road. Very scary situation. Appears from reading online this had been an ongoing issue with Ford F250 pickup trucks from reading online consumer complaints.
