Death wobble - on numerous occasions we have experienced the death wobble on our vehicle. We have complained to several dealers and done their recommended repairs. We have even purchased new high end tires as recommended with no resolution. We are unable to haul our RV out of fear of an accident. It has occurred at high speeds on the highway and at lower speeds on roads. This is very scary when it occurs. Coming to a full stop in a one lane HOV lane is not only dangerous for us but also dangerous for those traveling behind us. This has been occurring for years with the most recent occurrence this week. After researching we discovered this route to file a complaint.

While driving on interstate highway I hit a bump and the front end began to wobble until I could brake and stop I took it to my front end shop and spent ~ $2K Next trip after repair had same problem when I hit a bump. After two more returns to the same shop and almost all parts replaced the truck did it again last week This continued wobble could be deadly and needs to be fixed. I plan to call ford but cannot believe this is not a recall issue

I experienced what I now have come to understand is called the death wobble. It was terrifying and I was going about 60 mph on an interstate that was under construction. I hit minor bumps and the whole truck began to wobble back-and-forth violently. it would not stop until I came down to about 15 miles an hour, after that steering felt loose. I thought I was going to die. The incident chewed up my tires with pock marks everywhere.

Truck violently shakes (wobbles) when you go over 50 mph.

Today my 2015 Ford F250 SD experienced the aptly named Ford -??Death Wobble-??. It occurred twice today after just having the whole front end rebuilt for the same issue just weeks ago. My truck shakes so violently I am concerned for my safety and that of my wife. To stop the shaking I have to slow to 30 mph or less, typically on the highway where all other vehicles are traveling at 65+. The truck now sits at a dealership waiting for repair. The service writer states parts that were replaced two - three weeks ago are -??shot-??. How can this be? Ford F250-??s have this as a known problem with no real fix. Just keep throwing parts at it with no resolve. I had the truck worked on in July -??23, May -??24 and now. I am invested heavily in this truck and have now had to replace parts multiple times because some design flaw keeps wearing them out. I-??d love to see some sort of recall that forces some sort of redesign and real repair.

I experienced the -??Ford Death Wobble-?? when on the highway at 70 MPH. It has happened three times now. It didn-??t stop until I pulled off the road and stopped. It was an unsafe situation trying to get across three lanes of traffic and stop in the shoulder of the road. I did not loose control of the truck but it was close to being uncontrollable. From what I-??ve read, this needs to be a Recalled item!!

On multiple occasions I have experienced the -??F250 death wobble-??. When reaching speeds of over 60 mph my front end and steering wheel start shaking violently. The entire truck is uncontrollable. It feels like the vehicle is going to shake apart. It is difficult to even hold onto the steering wheel and keep the vehicle going in a straight line. I have to slow down to about 30 mph on an interstate to make it stop, creating a dangerous situation. Sometimes I have to pull off the road. Often, when hitting a bump in the road it gets triggered. I-??ve had it looked at multiple times at ford dealerships and nothing is ever found that is the cause of it. It-??s extremely dangerous and there is no recall for this problem. Thankfully I have managed to keep control of the vehicle. I-??ve experienced this problem for going on 3-5 years. I have replaced the front tires numerous times as that seems to help, though not eliminate the problem. Ford needs to do something about this with a recall or educating their service departments. There are tons of complaints online

While merging onto an interstate the truck began to violently shake causing me to begin to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull off the road before I lost complete control. I was extremely upset after this event. After regaining composure on the side of an interstate I pulled back onto the interstate. Within the next 10 min I hit a bump in the middle of the interstate and the truck again began to shake violently. I thought I was going to lose control and crash. We immediately had the vehicle taken to a mechanic. The work they did cost 1300$. Approximately 2 weeks after getting the vehicle back I was driving over a bridge and the seam in the road again caused the truck to violently shake. Again feeling like I was going to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull over on the side of a bridge. This caused significant trauma to myself and my young son. Since then the truck continues to violently shake anytime it-??s driven over a bump or seam in the road even at slow rates of speed. We have taken the vehicle to the mechanic again and they have been unable to solve the issue

The truck experienced excessive shaking when it hit a bump in the road while driving on the interstate. The steering wheel rattled so badly that the truck was difficult to control or steer. The shaking was so severe, that it felt like we had been hit by another car or had a blown tire. The violent shaking occurred when driving at speeds over 50 miles per hour.

Since June of 2023 I have had instances of excessive wobbling of the front end of my truck. Severe to the point that I've almost lost control. Took it into the Ford dealership in July of 2023. Determined to be consistant with "Death Wobble." Extensive work done and then again in September of 2023. Took it in again. Additional work done by Ford. On October 31,2023 a reoccurance of wobble and taken into Ford. Today, 11/13/2023 Ford could not find any issues and told me to drive it and when it does it again, bring it back in. This is an accident waiting to happen and I'm at a loss.

- Kingwood, TX, USA

The truck started jerking back and forth(left and right) while driving down the hwy at 70 mph, continued to do so at lower speeds as well. Safety was at risk as it was dark and the truck was jerking back and forth with passengers inside. It has not been inspected yet, it's Saturday night 9/16/2023 at 10:00 pm. No warning lights or alert sounds were activated. This has happened before but did not last as long and not near as violent. The problem seems to resolve it's self then occurs spontaneously days, sometimes minutes later.

- Mansfield, SD, USA

When driving (Once going downhill 6% grade, several times driving level on the freeway and once on a 45 MPH road with ruts), the front end began shaking violently to the point I was losing control of the vehicle until I slowed down. The vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. Safety was impacted by the loss of control resulting from the vehicle violently shaking. I took the truck to a mechanic and he could not see any problems. Other than my mechanic, no one has inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the event. I have dash cam video of the event.

Truck started to wobble/shake aggressively. Did some research and read about this situation called the -??death wobble-??. This is the second time it-??s happened

- Montebello, CA, USA

My truck has what is known as the death wobble. I am having it repaired again because if I hit a bump while I'm driving down the road, it'll jerk over into other people's lanes almost hitting other cars. It's horrible this is the second or third time I've had to repair this and is a well-known issue between 2007 and 2019. Can something please be done about this? This is starting to get a little ridiculous that there's so many cars out there that are this unsaved over the fact that a company doesn't want to pay to fix them

This vehicle, like many others has a severe death wobble. I almost lost complete control of the vehicle on the freeway at 75MPH after hitting a pothole! I replaced tie rod ends and took it to the Ford dealer to have it aligned and had them check all other steering components. They only recommended new tires and said everything was tight and didn't need replacement. The tires have over 3/32's wear on them so they could have made it another summer before replacing them. It is at the dealer right now getting new tires but I am afraid this will not fix the actual problem. The problem had been reproduced at the dealer and the mechanic told me it was the worst one he has ever driven. This is a known vehicle defect and Ford will still not do anything to fix the issue since it has not been reported in new vehicles that are exactly the same. There were no messages or symptoms before this occurred and it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am only a 118lb Female and it was almost impossible to control the vehicle
