Driving about 60 mph on new highway, steering wheel started rocking violently just about lost control, steering wheel whipped so hard the spoke on the steering wheel hit and hurt my thumb. Took truck to dealer who found everything within Ford acceptable specifications. Dealer said wear was found recommended replacing all moving parts in front suspension plus new shocks and tires. $4000

My wife and I were driving on I 70 West of denver heading towards silt Colorado. We were coming down a hill that had a bridge and a turn at the bottom. As soon as we hit the approach to the bridge our truck start what I call a "death wobble" as this portion of the rockies is very steep with narrow corners I was faced with a struggle for life in my opinion. We had brand new tires on it and a fresh alignment. The truck shook violently and I was afraid for our lives. We promptly took the truck to our dealership (columbine Ford) explained the situation and they gave us a loaner. When we got the truck back I took it for a test drive only to find out that the problem still existed. I still have the exact same problem!! I have been a Ford man my whole lifeboat I cannot continue to be a loyal customer when they disregard the problem with fake fixes!!! my wife and grandchildren are far too important to me to allow this to go on without Ford addressing the situation!!

At speeds of 55 to 60mph, mostly when hitting some kind of bump or dip in the road the truck steering wheel goes out of control shaking back and forth, along with the entire front of the truck. I have to slam on the brakes and it does not stop untill the truck is almost completely stopped. Is been in and out of automotive shops with the problem still remaining. When looking it up online (the world wide web) this is definitely a very common Ford issue and not just individual trucks. The shaking is so violent you can barely keep it in control and waiting for something to break. I can't believe this is not a safety recall issue.

Death wobble, has been to dealer several times. Said it was the tires cupping less than 20,000 miles new tires did not help, they aligned it and said they rotated tires. Now it is back, 40,600 miles, just as bad a ever. They know the problem and refuse to repair as there is no safety recall. Guess it will take a few deaths to get some help or a high named political/sport/rich figure, for any help. Yes for us to spend $1500 bucks there may be some relief. Why should we need to pay for something they know how to repair. It is the same problem associated to the 1967/68 Ford Bronco. We had one at the albertville dealer when as a young man almost lost my life driving it as I went across the median and 2 lanes of traffic when I worked there in service. Speed 45 to 70 mph on any road surface at any time it wants to act up, only way to stop is slow down several times till is stops hope it will not come back. This is verrrrry in-nerving when pulling our 2014 redwood 42' rv with a combined weight of 24,600 pounds. How many kids< children - Huntsville, AL, USA

When traveling at highway speeds while turning slightly left and hitting any moderate bump in the road the truck shimmys violently and does not stop until speed is reduced to under 20 mph. While the shimmy is occurring steering control becomes nearly impossible. There seems to be an un-dampened oscillation or severe vibration of the front wheels. Not sure what the cause is. I've had the front end looked at and been told everything looks tight and the tire pressure is even and correct. I have also personally lifted the truck and inspected all the steering components and do not see obvious play in any of the ball joints, tie-rod ends, sway bar etc. The truck also has had new shocks within the past 200 miles and that did not help. This problem has occurred more than once and is repeatable given the right conditions. I had purchased this truck April 2016 and during the test drive I complained of a vibration. The service people took nearly a month to figure out a cause. What the did helped, but the vibration never truly went away. This slight steady vibration seems to be related to the sever vibration because it is of exactly the same frequency and speeds, just under normal circumstances the truck is very controllable.

At any freeway speed if you hit a pot hole or a seam in the road on a turn, the truck will shake violently until you come to a stop. We have had Ford look at this a number of times with not success in getting a solution. The truck is not safe and it has happened to multiple drivers of this truck.

When traveling usually at highway speeds and I come to a difference in surfaces a slight difference in the road say going over an overpass, the stearing wheel shakes violently. On you tube there are hundreds of videos about this problem. Its very dangerous, I left the dealership today and after spending $1,300 to repair the problem I can only assume that this will be a year or two fix as the same parts will fail again. Ford should solve this problem.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000. The VIN was not available.

2011 F350 4X4 dual rear wheel lariat. Everyone calls it the "Super Duty death wobble" Ford has no plans to fix. Started at 30K miles, replaced all known worn parts and suggested parts like everyone else - still doing it. Youtube videos show violent shake to the point your head can smack the side windows. Front end on highway hits slight bump like on over pass shakes so violently it can break the front end wheel tires and everything else.. changed tires, stabilizer shock, alignments. Recently this past week on I75 in Ohio it happened 1/2 dozen times @ 65 to 70 mph shook so hard you cannot control lock the brakes down hard to 30 mph just like everyone else on the net says. Nearly causing wrecks on the freeway. Happens without warning. Totally stock $55K truck. Dealer says no tsb or recall. But Ford does know about it and says it "may help" to check stabilizer shock. Everyone has done that. Google Super Duty death wobble it and see videos. My first ever online complaint. This Ford truck is insanely dangerous. At dealer now with no solution. I discovered by switching into 4whd it will stop which tells me it is internal control arm bushings because 4WD will bind the front end up enough to preload suspension. It got me home but the wife will never ride in it again!

Driving at 65 mph on ih-10 houston tx, hit a bump in the road and truck entered into a death wobble, had to veer across 3 lanes and a on ramp to the shoulder and slow to about 5 mph before the shimmy stopped. Very scary actually a little scared of my truck now. Went to a front end shop today and was told I have no loose parts and the steering stabilizer was fine. He told me the ball joint on the track bar is usually what it is and only Ford can fix it. They did not charge me.

After hitting very small bumps in the road at 50mph, the left front wheel started shaking violently, making it difficult to control the vehicle. The only way to regain control was to slow to about 30mph, very dangerous on the interstate highway. This has happened several times since, always starting with small bumps in the road, left front wheel, causing the violent shaking. Vehicle control could only be regained by slowing to about 30mph.

Highway speeds driving on concrete truck hit bumps and started violently bucking and vibrating. This happened a dozen times in my 300 mile trip.

- West Haven , UT, USA

The truck violently started shaking after hitting several small bumps in road. Almost lost control of truck. In order for shaking to stop I had to slow truck down to 25 mph. I almost was rear ended by a truck following me. The shake feels like the front wheels are about to come off. This has happened almost a dozen times since the truck was bought new.

2011 Ford F350 4X4 48,000 the first time I was driving at 50mph, while driving over a bridge the wheel hit a small hole in the road and put my truck in to a horrible violent wobble! I had to switch lanes and brake to gain control of my truck. I thought it was the hole, but since then at while im traveling at 50+ and pass over any decent size imperfection in the roadway it puts the truck into that dangerous wobble. This needs to be addressed by Ford I do not feel safe driving this truck on the freeway!!! and 80% of my driving for business is on the freeway. Please help Ford owners this is dangerous and cause a horrible accident [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have owned this truck for 45 days / 2,000 miles. Numerous times I have experienced a suspension malfunction commonly known as a "deathwobble". as of late, it has become increasingly worse. Yesterday's incident required me to lower my speed to 10 mph on a major highway to regain control of my F350 Super Duty. I was nearly rearended by multiple vehicles including a tractor trailer. In addition I nearly collided with a jersey wall on a bridge. Taking the vehicle back to the dealer, but want to ensure that there is a record of the danger in this vehicle.

Steering goes into violent shaking. Feels like tires are falling off. Slowed down and stopped. According to you're reports this is not the first time for this problem. This should be a recall before someone gets killed because of this.

- Cedar Run, NJ, USA

I have a 2011 Ford sd F-350 srw with 26505 miles. On several occasions, I have experience violent front end shimmy after hitting a bump in the road or an expansion joint on a bridge or on the freeway. The vehicle requires sudden braking to bring the vehicle back in control. The front end shakes violently to the point of taking the steering out of your hands. This is very dangerous. The last time it occurred I was on a bridge. The violent movement of the front end moved me into the adjacent lane, luckily, there was no vehicle in the lane. I could have caused an accident due to this problem.

- Mcclellanville, SC, USA

While driving in the left side passing lane and coming up to a slight left bend in the road the truck went over a expansion joint in the road, if there is slight pressure on the steering wheel from holding the truck into the left bend in the road the trucks wheels will start to shake and wobble, it will get so bad you need to hold the steering wheel with two hands and guide the truck to a complete stop in that left lane so to make it go away. This is real scary. I know there is items on the web sights that will fix this problem, but Ford will void your warranty if they find any aftermarket parts on the truck. What I don't understand is Ford knows there is a problem with this wobble and if you go and fix it they void your warranty.
