At high speeds 65 plus when a bump is hit the front of truck and steering starts shaking violently and doesn't stop until you slow down to below 20 to get it to stop. This violent shaking in the steering/front end can cause lose of control and having to slow to such a slow speed on interstate can cause accident and injury to self and others. This has happened several times with last event yesterday at which time a semi truck almost rear ended me.

Death wobble occurs so violently when you hit a bump in the road that it is hard to maintain control. You have to come to a complete stop for it to quit. Items have been replaced from the Ford service bulletion

On multiple occasions over the past few months the front end of my truck has begun to shake violently. The steering wheel shakes badly and the only way to regain control is to brake quickly. In each instance the vehicle was traveling between 65 and 75 mph and the shaking seems to be instigated by hitting a an uneven section of the road'I specifically recall a bridge expansion joint and a pothole that set off the shaking. All incidents occurred on freeway straightaways. I tow a travel trailer and this shaking has occurred both when towing and not towing. In reading a blog frequented by travel trailer owners, this problem with the F250 has become known as the 'death wobble' and seems to be experienced by many. I have been fortunate enough to have not been in an accident because of this problem, however, since the solution to wobble is rapid braking given the fact that this occurs on freeways at relatively high rates of speed, I imagine it will only be a matter of time until an accident occurs. I have asked the Ford dealership about this problem, however they claim ignorance. A you tube video entitled: Ford F-250: Death wobble strikes 3 times provides video evidence of this shaking.

Front end violent shaking at highway speed when crossing pavement change like bridge or pothole. Unable to control vehicle until speed reduced under hard braking. Ford dealer aware of issue and calls it death wobble. Contacted Ford customer service and they stated they had a program for this issue and made a partial payment to total cost off replacing all front end suspension parts. They know of problem and have designed alignment specs to cause dangerous pre mature part failure.

Upon turning onto a highway and reaching approximately 45/50 miles per hour, the front end of the vehicle began violently shaking and regaining control was not possible until I slowed the vehicle. It seemed as though the vehicle front end was wobbling left and right as well as jumping up and down. Upon inspecting the steering and suspension, I found no apparent damage.

I was traveling at a speed of 65 mph down interstate 5 South in castaic, ca. The truck front end suddenly began to shake violently. It was only when I slowed down and pulled over when the shaking stopped and the truck drove normally. I later came to realize I had experienced what many call the 'death wobble'. I immediately took the truck to my local Ford dealer for repairs

- Knoxville, TN, USA

Experiencing the Ford F250 "death wobble". the truck violently shakes after hitting a bump or groove in the road at speeds over 60 miles per hour. To stop the shaking you have to almost come to a complete stop in the road. It seems to happen more often on the highway traveling at high speeds over bridges or when it is off balance.

- Pueblo, CO, USA

Violent shaking when driving down highway. First time this happened was when I had around 38,000 mikes on my truck. It was sporadic and only a few instances. The violent shaking makes it hard to keep truck on road while slowing down and pulling off on the shoulder. This has happened on/off within no warning. It has been happening more frequentlyo. Appears to happen when going 60 miles and hour or over and without warning but mostly always when driving on highway or interstate.

Death wobble. Truck shakes uncontrollably after a bump on the freeway at 70 mph

- Poway, CA, USA

Truck has 48,000 miles on it and when I was driving home from pennsylvanian (not pulling a trailer just driving home) when I was going alone the interstate at 65 miles per hour the truck started to shake violently. I braked and then back on the gas and it was fine. I've read a ton about the "Ford death wobble" and feared this when buying a F250 but didn't think that I too would be a victim of this poor design by Ford. I rotate and balance my tires every 5K to 15K miles and alignment checked okay. Very frustrating I have to buy new parts for a track that should last 100K+ without issues. I ordered an aftermarket (fox) stabilizer shock because the Ford oem one on the truck was shot (lost all its gas or leaked). Again only 48K miles what a joke! unfortunately the stabilizer shock hasn't completely solved the issue. When I hit bumps in the road I can feel the play in the wheel still and believe I need to go through and change all the ball joints and link ends. Do all this and again cross my fingers that it wont come back. Want to be part of the class action law suite. Just want a truck that works for as much as I paid for this thing from the factory. Sad Ford. I'm a die hard Ford guy but this is a sad day.

Driving on interstate and the truck started a uncontrollable wobble. During the wobble I felt I had no control of vehicle and was moving out of my lane. Ford needs to do something immediately before someone gets killed I also tell a fifth wheel camper and I can only imagine having that kind of weight behind me that the truck would flip and possibly kill me or someone else on the interstate.

"death wobble" at approx 34K miles I experienced what I later found out was known as the death wobble. I drove over a section of highway that I had been over a thousand times but this time I hit a pot hole just right and my steering wheel began to violently shake in my hands. At the same time I was approaching a curve and literally had to stop to make the shaking go away. Fortunately nobody was following me on the highway and I was going the speed limit of 55mph when this occurred. The problem has also happened on certain city streets wheel you hit a pot hole or road seem in just the right way. I contacted a Ford dealership and they replaced several front end components and told me that those repairs would fix my issue. My truck now has 47K miles on it and the problem is slowly returning. The wheel doesn't shake as badly as it did the first time but in the right condition it will shake in your hands.

While driving, if I hit a pothole or dips in the roadway, hit the transition from the roadway pavement to a bridge or overpass on the highway or hit a groove in the roadway the front end and the steering wheel can begin to shake and wobble erratically and sometimes violently. This is scary and has almost caused accidents. This usually occurs while driving at speeds between 55 and 70 mph. Also, when driving at speeds between 68 and 75 the steering wheel shakes. This occurs all the time. I have spent a lot of money on having all front end parts replaced, shocks replaced and two sets of brand new tires replaced within three and a half months.yet, still I get the vibrations in the steering wheel and front end.
