I believe it is refered to as "the death wobble" truck violently shakes after hitting a bump at above 60 mph

- Taylors, SC, USA

2017 F250 6.2 gas, truck shakes badly at 65-70mph of if you hit bumps in the road at speed. Local Ford dealer said everything is ok even after I showed them the track bar end links were loose. The truck has 41,000 miles on it now but it has been going on since 30,000. The tech. Led on that they have had problems but, they did nothing but drive my truck for 8 miles. I would like to get the problem resolved because when it happens it is hard to keep control of the truck and im afraid it will cause and accident.

Death wobble, extremely hard to steer on freeway until reduced speed below 50 mph. Parts replaced at dealer-no resolution. 1 month wait for more parts. Unsafe.

- Galax, VA, USA

While driving on highway at approximately 65 mph vehicle begins to violently shake out of control. This seems to start when driving over a bump or bridge joint in the road. Steering wheel becomes difficult to hold and steering becomes near impossible. Slowing down does not seem to stop the vibration, had to pull over several times. Front end feels like it's going to come apart during this vibration. Very concerning.

- Sandown, NH, USA

Traveling on the highway about 70 miles per hour hit small bump in the road where bridge joint was and steering wheel violently shook almost lost control and had to slow down to stop shaking. This happened over 4 times on our trip. Truck has only 16,000 miles on it. The wobble usually happens when you hit variations in the road surface in a curve.

- Mogadore, OH, USA

At highway speeds (60-70 mph) without notice the steering wheel begins to shake violently. It starts off with small vibrations, then progresses to the steering wheel rotating sharply back and forth. It has done this three times, usually slowing down would stop it, the last time it did this slowing down did not stop it. The vehicle had to be brought to a complete stop on the side of the freeway. The dealer where it was purchased from has been made aware of the issue, the last time they replaced a steering stabilizer, it has done it since that part has been replaced. If a driver where to panic while this was happening, this issue could result in an accident or fatality. I will be taking the truck back again for this issue next week but have little faith in the repair. A solution needs to be mandated.

I was driving 70 mph on a sunny beautiful day on the highway in a straight line and all of a sudden the truck started to shake, vibrate, and shudder uncontrollably. It was so violent that it woke my two young kids up as well scared the hell out of the wife and I. I immediately pulled over to see if I had a flat tire. I did not have a flat. After research and talking to fellow people it is called the death wobble. I should not have to say anything else when people are calling this a death wobble. This will severally hurt or even kill someone. I thought my new 2017 Ford F250 was going to fall apart. This is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.

When traveling down the highway and I hit a bump the truck goes into an uncontrollable shaking and I have to slow down quickly to get the truck under control

- Exeter, NH, USA

While traveling on an interstate at approx. 70 mph we hit a small bump in the road. The front end of the truck and steering wheel began to shake violently (oscillate). The only way to make it stop was to suddenly reduce speed and move to the shoulder. We experienced this 5 more times, sometimes occurring after just going over a road joint. This is extremely dangerous as you must have enough shoulder to get off of the road and vehicles behind you may not be aware that you are suddenly stopping. We have since learned that this is commonly known as the "death wobble" and Ford has known about it for a long time. The truck is under warranty and we took it to our local dealer. They claimed to have fixed it by replacing the steering damper (which should not go bad at 20,000 miles). There is no way to know if this repair will work other than to take your life in your hands and drive the truck waiting for the next incident to occur.

- Colorado Springs, CO, USA

While driving on the highway at highway speeds of 65-75 mph and hitting a bump in the road, the steering will oscillate badly, "death wobble" to the point where you have to slow the vehicle to about 30 mph so you can regain control. This has happened twice in the last week....which I just purchased this vehicle used from a dealer on 2/10/2020. The truck currently has 22,500 miles on it. When are we going to get a recall notice on this to have it corrected?? I see numerous complaints of this very issue on the internet.

2017 F-250 4X4 pickup experiences violent shaking in steering after hitting bump at highway speeds (death wooble). Happened while driving on highway and local roads at approximately 70 mph. I was able to regain control only by reducing my speed to approximately 40 mph on a busy freeway in the rain. More frequently on wet roadways. Occurred first time at 20000 miles. Dealer attempted repair and problem reoccurred at almost 36000 miles.; dealer again attempted repair and problem returned at 38000 miles. Dealer has replaced the bushings and different parts at each occurrence but problem keeps returning. Ford continues to allow the vehicles on the road when knowing the problem will return and attempts to mask problem with temporary fixes for their vehicles..

Traveling on interstate incurred Ford death wobble, speed between 70 & 75 mph. After traveling over bridge expansion joint. Cab shaking violently until I slowed to about 35 mph. Tires were properly inflated, and rotated every 5000 miles. This occurred approximately 7 times is an ongoing issue.

- North Platte, NE, USA

At 71 mph while the truck was on cruise control going down the interstate, I went over a bridge and the truck began to violently shake like it was coming apart. The truck's back end started to come around on me like it was skidding and went back and forth a couple times. The road was completely straight and dry so there shouldn't be any reason this would have happened either. Cars on both sides of me went to the shoulder and ditch trying to get out of the way. I slowed down to about 30 mph and the shaking stopped. I took the truck to the Ford dealer and they instantly knew what I was describing and call it the Ford death wobble. The truck has 15,500 miles on it with original tires, never been in an accident or any other reason to do this. Very scary and I won't let the family in it now. The Ford dealership said it will most likely happen again as they have trucks come back over and over trying to fix it but there isn't a legitimate fix from Ford.
