When I was driving on the highway doing about 70 mph I went over a bump in the road and the front end started to wobble incredibly. I had to slow down a lot to make it stop. Very scary!

While driving at normal highway speeds on an interstate highway, I hit a minor bump in the road and the vehicle started vibrating radically. The steering wheel was extremely hard to control from the front end bouncing. I had to brake rapidly and pull to shoulder under pretty crowded traffic conditions and it didn't stop until almost completely stopped. It did this numerous times on a out of town trip and I took it to my dealer immediately on my return. The date entered is the first time this occurred. It has happened numerous times since then & has been back to dealer 3 times for this. It is at the dealer now.

About 19000 miles truck had a "death wobble" when hitting bump at freeway speeds. Dealer replaced steering dampener. Still doing it. Now dealer is blaming it on worn tires. If tires were worn it would do it at all speeds. Filed complaint with Ford about a month ago. No response.

I have been experiencing violent, sustained shaking on the highway if I happen to hit one our many available bumps. The entire truck shakes and cannot be stopped until the vehicle is completed stopped. I looked online and saw countless references to such a problem including limitless videos on youtube. If this problem is that well-publicized, there is no way that Ford does not know about it. My local dealer, poynter Ford in seymour, Indiana, claimed that they never heard of such a thing. The Ford corporation's chat line politely directed me to your website. In short, I, and all other owners of this ridiculously expensive vehicle, are playing with fire. This shaking does not occur at speeds less than one would be traveling on a highway. I asked the chat line rep what the term for the event was, what parts have been replaced.

In October 2018, while driving down the freeway at 70 mph in my 2017 F-250 (my truck had just over 24,000 miles on it), I hit an expansion joint and the truck immediately started shaking violently. I had to immediately pull over to the side of the road and slow down to about 35 mph. The truck did this several times before I was able to book an appointment at the dealer a couple weeks later. I took my truck to the dealer and they didn't know what was wrong, so I took it to another dealer, where they replaced the steering damper. The shaking stopped for a few days and I put the truck in storage for nine months while deployed. When I returned in October 2019, I was only able to drive for three weeks before the shaking returned after I hit an expansion joint. The truck has done this several more times when hitting expansion joints and a pothole at 70-75 mph. I am taking it back to the dealer. I am very fortunate that I or other drivers have not been seriously injured or killed yet, and I cannot take my family in this $60,000 truck. I have read about countless examples from others and I don't understand why Ford refuses to acknowledge this. When I called the dealer in topeka today, the service rep told me that this 'death wobble' is 'kind of just what the truck does.' This is crazy, and I can't accept it for a truck as expensive as this. Ford needs to do something before people are killed.

While driving 50mph or higher when I hit a bump I get a violent rattle and bounce in the front end and steering wheel that won't stop unless I slow down to at least 35mph.

When driving at highway speeds(60 mph and up) and you hit a bump, hole, or deviation in the road surface the front tires begin to wobble out of control. The truck only has 11,000 miles on it and has developed a problem in the last 500 miles. The condition is so rough that I'm in fear of driving it because it is so scary give me some people at the bar. I refuse to allow my wife or daughters to drive the truck. The truck has been taking to the dealership and they agreed that there is a problem. They will be replacing the steering stabilizer. I'm truly happy that I have a dealer who is admitting there is a fault. Looking into this issue it's obvious that it's going to return and this is not a true fix it's only a band-aid to get us through the warranty time limit. I'm really hoping that Ford will address the issue and properly fix these vehicles, some of these cost upwards of $75,000 and are just about impossible to drive due to the unsafe condition.

While traveling in a straight line on an interstate around 70 mph I struck a bump and the vehicle started shaking extremely badly. It felt basically out of control. After slowing to about 40 mph the shaking stopped.

On 10/28/19 I was traveling on a freeway( I-15) at approximately 65 mph. I hit a section of rough road and my vehicle steering viberated violently. I almost struck other vehicles because the steering was vibrating so rough. I safely made it to the shoulder of the road and inspected the front end. I did not see anything wrong so I travel approximately 200 miles with no issue. On 11/1/19 I traveled 10 miles on a two lane highway, and the vibrations returned after hitting a rough ssection of highway. I had to stop numerous times and travel at 40 mph to make it to a safe location.

The vehicle shakes violently in the front end after a bump in the road. Dealership replaced the steering damper and arm. Condition did not improve. Dealership replaced some bushings. Problem became worse. Dealership claims that the tires are in need of replacement. These conditions all occured at speeds around 65mph. The vehicle is unsafe to drive on the road. Ford does not have an answer to my problem. I complained about a knocking sound. Manager said it was some plastic bushings in the springs. After replacing some front end parts, the sound went away. Truck is at the dealership for at least a week on each occurrence. When the truck was brand new, the display would not work correctly. Took 6 months to resolve the problem and numerous trips to the dealership. The display was finally replaced. A vibrations in the seats occurs when pulling a trailer. Dealership says the trailer is causing the problem. When a different truck pulls the trailer, no vibrations occurs in the seats and floorboard.

While driving on the highway at speeds between 50-70 mph, I lose complete control of my truck after driving over the slightest bump. I literally have to stop my truck before I can regain control. The vibration literally wants to throw me out of my chair. I can't even hold onto the steering.

- Alliance, OH, USA

Had the "death wobble". cruising at 70 mph and hit a patch of rough road. Truck started shaking and wouldnt stop until I reduced the speed to 35 (on a hwy). I thought I had a flat tire it was so bad.

At normal highway speeds of 65 to 70 mph upon hitting a bump in the road the vehicle's front end will start to shake violently causing lack of control over the direction of the vehicle. This lack of control can cause the vehicle to either go straight when you need to turn or to bounce you into another lane. The only way to stop this violent shaking is to quickly reduce speed to around 30 mph. This in itself is a very dangerous situation on a congested interstate. This seems to be caused by nothing more than hitting an expansion joint on a bridge overpass, so you don't have to hit a pothole or some other avoidable object. Both the violent shaking and the corrective action are a danger not only to the driver and passengers in this vehicle, but also to anyone around or behind this vehicle. Ford dealership states Ford has nothing to say on the matter. Initial concern was handled by replacing the steering stabilizer, a fix which lasted only 8 months, then the exact same situation occurred again. On my last 400 mile trip, I lost control of the vehicle 6 times from this situation. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The shaking was so violent, that my windshield cracked.

My 2017 F250 is experiencing ' death wobble '. at speeds of 50 mph or more, any bump in the road shimmies the steering wheel and at times the front end of the truck will violently shimmy to the point that I have no steering control and am forced to slow down to 25-20 mph to get it to stop.
