It's apparently called the death wobble, you are driving at freeway speeds hit a pothole, bump on bridge overpass, ect. Wheels start shaking violently, steering wheel shakes back and forth violently. It's very hard to keep control of the truck. Very scary and dangerous. I had my dealership work on the problem after the first time I noticed it probably about 19 months ago. Didn't have trouble for awhile. Recently coming home after thanksgivinig it occurred 3 times on the 2 hour ride home. Called my dealership, they're aware of the problem with these models. Them supposeded part fix is back ordered and has been for awhile.my truck was new from the factory, $75,000 truck, all stock, I sure hope Ford is made to fix these right. I try to avoid driving vehicle on freeway, can't let my girls drive it.was't aware it was such a wide spread problem till I googled it on the internet. There is thousands of complaints on there. This needs to be fixed asap or people are going to get killed.

This problem started at 17,000 miles, hitting a bump at highway speeds of 55-70 mph, experienced violet shaking of steering wheel, the truck has 42,000 miles on it now with no resolve to the problem. Has been back to the dealer at least 4 times and still has the problem, I have been lucky that I was able to keep truck on highway without causing an accident.

2017 Ford F-250 stx FX4. Every time I hit a sharp bump or bridge section the front end of the truck shakes violently at highway speeds and have to slow down to 30mph before it settles. On the highway! in traffic!. this happened to me 30+ times coming from a jobsite in the Chicago area. I live in Florida. I've been reading up on this and it appears to be the death wobble. 100's of people are having this problem with the Super Duty trucks that Ford is producing. When will it stop" will it take a death to recitify this issue" I don't even want to drive the truck anymore. From what I've read, owners have taken the trucks into the Ford dealers, getting them fixed and still having the issue several thousand miles down the road. And these trucks are not cheap. Averaging $45-80K. Please help before someone gets hurt or loses a life.

At random times while traveling at highway speeds over 50mph and hitting a road bump or expansion joint in a bridge transition. The vehicle will start to violently and uncontrollably shake until speed is dropped to about 30 mph. I have taken it into the dealership and they changed the steering linkage dampener and sent me on my way. It subsequently happened again under the same circumstances as before I took it back to the dealership and they say nothing is wrong but it needs an alignment which I need to pay for. This is not a fix as the alignment out would be a constant issue and since they changed the part the alignment should be part of the process. They did not know about or follow tsb 18-2268. This is a huge safety issue and could cause injuries or even death due to accident when this happens. I am getting ptsd from dealing with this

While driving about 65 miles an hour the steering wheel started to vibrate violently almost losing control. I pulled over and inspected tires and rims thinking one of the front tires was about to come off. Everything looked normal. Scared the crap out of me! I had the tires rotated at 15K and had the shop inspect everything and found nothing. Internet is calling this the "death wobble". Ford going to inspect and poss replace steering stabilizer. This has happened before but not as severe. Thought it was road vibration. Now I know better. This is a serious issue that needs attention before someone is killed! then there is the issue of increased front end wear. Reports say Ford is not covering damage, says its the buyer's lack of maintenance. This is a truck with under 15K miles and is having problems. Please investigate.

It has happened several times and continues to be a problem. My 2017 Ford F250 while going down the road will go into the death wobble. Steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and have to take foot off of gas pedal until it slows down enough to regain conrol. The worst at interstate speeds. It is a danger to my passengers, myself and other vehicles that are around me. Have had it to the dealer numerous times with different repair attempts.

I had just stopped for gas and got back on the highway and was in the passing lane going over a bridge deck and as soon as I came off the bridge the truck started shaking horribly. I let the car next to me pass as I slowed down and pulled over. Scared myself and my uncle to death and still had to drive 160 miles to get home. After returning home I have taken it to the local dealer and they replaced damper steering linkage but as our family vehicle we do not feel comfortable in it's safety!

Vehicle enters into "death wobble" when hitting uneven pavement at speeds above 50mph. The only way to stop the wobble, even if the pavement is smooth, is to slow down below 30mph.

- Pflugerville, TX, USA

While traveling on the expressway at 65 mph I passed over a rough piece of asphalt and the truck started to shimmy then immediately severely shake and shudder. I immediately braked and tried to steer to the shoulder steering was almost impossible. The shaking continued till the truck stopped. This was extremely frightening and uncontrollable. This is the third time this has happened but by far the worst. All 3 times the truck was driving normally at 60 or 65 mph till it hit a minor bump or rough patch of road.

- Catoosa, OK, USA

Traveling at around 70mph on I 65 South in Alabama at 341 mile marker when a gap in the road caused my vehicle to begin to vibrate badly to the point I almost lost control. I slowed to about 40 mph and it stopped. I accelerated back to 70mph and less than a mile later hit a bump and it started the same vibration again. It did this one more time again before I exited at the 334 exit. It is very a very scary event. I am afraid to keep driving this vehicle. I took it to a front end shop and they found nothing wrong but had heard complaints of this happening with this vehicle. I took it to the Ford dealer and they indicated there was a tech bulletin to cover this but since my truck has 46K miles it was not covered.

Traveling down interstate 10 in AZ. Encountered uneven road. Traveling at 65 mph pulling a 30' airstream classic trailer. The truck went into a violent shaking in the steering. I could hardly hold on to the steering wheel. I appiled the brake as trucks were swerving to get around me at 75 mph. I had my wife put on the emergency flashers as I could not let go of the wheel. I could not steer or move to the right of the road. Truck was literally "hopping" as I tried to slow without getting hit from behind. Shaking finally subsided when my truck reached 20 mph. I literally was close to stopped on a 75 mph roadway! I increased mt speed again to about 50 mph and the shaking started again. I had to almost stop again. My wife and I were visibly shaking. We could have been killed. We pulled off on the next exit and called a Ford dealer. Ford dealer replaced front stabilizer shock. Ford is back-ordered on their shock for months. Wonder why? we replaced it with a third party shock. The suspension was checked and the dealer said it should be fine. Two days latter we experienced the shaking again! we are now stuck in palm springs waiting for a dealer to open on Monday. I called Ford corporate and they said they did not have a recall on this. They said they will call the dealer and me on Monday to get their truck division involved. I cannot drive this truck pulling a trailer with this issue. This is a very dangerous problem. I fear driving this in the mountain with roads that curve. When this shaking occurs, you cannot do anything but go straight.

- Canfield, OH, USA

Started getting wobble/oscillation in steering at highway speeds when hitting rough road conditions or bridge joints that requires quick braking to below 25mph to get back under control. First stabilizer was replaced and alignment performed with results lasting about a year, then it came back, this time drag link replaced and re-aligned, still has issue to some extent when crossing bridge joints on highway.

- Front Royal, VA, USA

I was driving my F250 on the freeway and after hitting a couple bumps it started doing the death wobble as its called. Its a known problem Ford has tsb but they don't take this condition seriously as I scheduled an appt with the dealer ship within days and was told the parts are all backordered to repair it and they don't know the date they can get them.

- Meridian, ID, USA

When traveling at highway speeds and driving over a bump in the road, the truck begins to shake violently. Slowing the vehicle to approximately 45 mph tends to smooth it out. It was taken to the dealership and the replaced the steering dampener and rotated the tires, but the issue still exists and feels a bit worse and is occurring more frequently than before.

- Buckeye, AZ, USA

Loss of control at speeds greater than 50 mph after running over a pothole or rough road surface. The front tires start to bounce or oscillate and steering becomes dangerously erratic. You have to immediately hit the brakes hard to lower the speed. Everything loose in the cabin can begins moving around and the steering wheel is hard to hold. If you are in heavy traffic at speeds of 60-70 mph there is very real danger of being hit from behind while trying to regain control of the vehicle. Descriptions online of Ford F250 trucks call it the death-wobble.

- Woodville, AL, USA

Front end steering begins a death wobble at speeds over 40 mph. If even the slightest bump in the road, city or highway, is driven over at these speeds it makes the steering wheel shake violently from side to side.
