I currently have about 33,000 miles on my stock 2017 F250 lariat truck with factory 20" wheels and factory Michelin tires. About 10,000 miles ago, the front end exhibited the "death wobble" at highway speeds when crossing over a bump/expansion joint in the road. The dealer replaced the torsion bar, steering stabilizer, and some other parts. Today, with a trailer in tow, while driving straight on the freeway, it happened again. Later in the day, I dropped the trailer and the truck's front end did it again at 55mph while in an overpass turn immediately after crossing an expansion joint. Everything is stock except for the new parts the dealer replaced last year. I have 60 psi in the front and 65 psi in the rear. I have a video of an occurrence but this system will not allow me to attach an MP4 file.

Getting "death wobble" or steering oscillations and violent shaking when hitting bumps on road at moderate and highway speeds. Took the truck in at 24K miles and steering parts were replaced under warranty due to excessive wear. 7 months/14K miles later, same thing happening, took vehicle to dealership and same parts plus others now need replaced and Ford claims it isn't covered under warranty

Death wobble, shimmy, or oscillation at highway speeds after hitting bump, bridge expansion joint or imperfection in road. Vehicle becomes uncontrollable, darts unto other lane if wobble starts in a curve. Must slow to 15-25 mph to regain control

Accelerating on to interstate at about 65mph, the drivers side front wheel hit a depression in the road surface, the steering wheel started to swing violently from left to right with the magnitude of the displacement becoming larger in a very short period of time. I braked hard bringing the vehicle onto the side of the freeway. Narrowly missing an 18 wheeler truck. After checking front suspension, I gingerly rejoined the freeway and continued at 45mph to the next exit. I understand that this is know as death wobble in the F250 community

On two separate occasions, our Ford F-250 started to violently shake in the front end after going onto an overpass on the highway. This is a violent wobble of the front end. It feels like the entire front suspension is going to self destruct. This happened one time at a speed of 65 mph and another time at a speed of 75 mph. In order to get the front end shaking to stop, the vehicle had to be slowed down to approximately 35 mph. During both episodes, the steering wheel was violently shaking and it felt like the front tires were wobbling. The first time this happened, it was so violent that the front windshield cracked. The first episode occurred with approximately 21,000 miles on the vehicle. After that episode, we took the truck into the Ford dealership and they replaced some parts in the front suspension and indicated it was fixed. The second episode occurred with about 29,000 miles on the vehicle. We again took the vehicle into the Ford dealership and they changed the caster setting on the vehicle to an out of spec condition and told us that the Ford regional service rep told them that would fix the problem. After getting the vehicle back from that service visit, there was a vibration in the steering at speeds between 72 mph and 76 mph. The steering wheel would vibrate back and forth at a relatively high speed. The vehicle is at the dealership for a third time to address this newest problem. The vehicle now has right at 36,000 miles on it and is at the end of the warranty mileage. The first instance was approx October 1, 2018 and the second instance was approx March 1, 2019.

Commonly being referred to as the death wobble - driving at freeway speeds, truck begins to shake horribly, need to slow down, pull over for it to stop. Dealership wants to replace steering stabilizer but stated if that doesn't work then they will do front end alignment with caster shims replacement

Death wobble in the 2017 Ford F250 is not acceptable. We were nearly killed this past weekend. Ford service has it right now. But from all the reviews I have read, the wobble returns and usually after the warranty has expired.. this is a serious problem. It happened one time to us 6 months ago, and this past weekend about 5 or 6 times on a 250 mile road trip. Shakes and wobbles uncontrollably. We were on I-40 going about 70 miles mph. When we would hit bumps or cross uneven bridge it would go crazy.

First time at 6000 miles driving 70mph expenernst the death wobble. Ford couldn't get parts they needed. Allined at local Ford dealer to Ford recommendations. Didn't experience again till 26000 miles. We are on a trip and it has happened 7 times. Ford doesn't seem to want to admit we have a problem. We were on the interstates.

While driving at highway speeds (>45mph) when passing over rough pavement the front of the truck would shake uncontrollably and the steering wheel would shudder significantly for up to 100 yards after passing the rough spot and on smooth pavement and required slowing down and even stopping to make the vibration cease. There was also a continuous slight vibration in the steering wheel at and above 50 mph on smooth pavement.

Death wobble vehicle shakes violently if a bump in road is hit, requiring vehicle to be stopped to end the shaking, making it dangerous when can't stop in traffic. Happened on multiple occasions, with the date listed as the most recent. Steering wheel is pulled out of hands while driving.

In doing research, I experienced 'death wobble.' We were driving down the highway and the truck started to violently shake. This action caused us to go from one lane to another on the freeway. Two hands were needed to maintain control and not go off the road. We stopped and inspected and saw nothing.

Violent front in shaking at higher speeds caused by hitting any small bump in roadway. 'death wobble' I have experienced several incidents at various severity levels, each requiring vehicle to slow to approximately 30 miles per hour. Today's incident occurred on the interstate, hit a small bump going over a bridge, truck began to shake violently causing control loss. The shaking pulled the vehicle across neighboring lane and had to slow to 20-30 mph before shaking stopped. Very unsafe, luckily no vehicle was in vicinity preventing potential accident. Been to dealer twice for this issue. Very concerning & dangerous. Seems to be no fix.

While traveling on interstate I-84, I experienced a wobble and steering issue that threw my vehicle from the right lane into the left lane. Fortunately nobody was in the left lane. I was travelling approximately 70 mph and hit some uneven pavement and small pot holes. My experience was very scary and could have resulted in serious injury or death. My research of the symptoms closely matches the death wobble. This is very disturbing. My truck is currently at the dealer for an alignment. However, further research show that these alignments can make things worse. I strongly urge that this issue be investigated across the country. Somebody is going to die as a result of this issue.

At approx. 7K miles, front tires seemed out of balance. I took the vehicle in to authorized service dealer and they had trouble balancing front wheels and had to balance more than once. At approx. 40K miles the steering wheel and front end began to shake violently when driving over a bump/pothole at speeds of 60 mph and over on highway. The only way to stop the shaking cycle is to slow down to approx. 35 mph. The truck currently has 58K miles and begins the shaking, intermittently, at speeds of 62 mph and greater on highway. I recently took the vehicle to the same authorized dealer and the mechanic's recommendation was to replace the tires and install wheel cams, which are not parts currently on the vehicle from the factory. None of this recommended work or diagnosis was covered by Ford.

Death wobble. Truck started shaking around 55-60 mph and was shaking so bad I could not hold on to steering wheel. It had right over 15,000 miles the first time. If have called dealer ship and had it back in a total of 3 times with nothing but excuses and they say they put a new steering dampner on it. It helped for about 2 days. I have fought it ever since I first noticed it and now it is too the point it does it with the slightest pothole or manhole cover in road. Please someone do something about this before someone gets killed. My truck now has just over the 36,000 mile warranty on it....... so I wasn't smart enough to play the game with the dealership was playing which was just get it passed the warranty period then its my baby. I lost

While driving at highway speeds twice I have hit a bridge with a somewhat rough approach. The steering wheel and the front end of the truck shakes violently. The first time the shaking stopped when I slowed down to 55mph or so. The next time I had to brake aggressively and fade to the side of the road. This will lead to fatal accidents. My tire pressure was set to factory specifications listed on the front door frame. Original tires are well within wear limits and the truck drives straight.

"death wobble". when I hit any rough spots on road, or bridge joints, or road joints at or above 60 mph I get a violent wobble on front of the truck. I have a very difficult time controlling it and have to quickly slow down below approx.40 mph for it to stop. This happens frequently. My truck was serviced for this issue at approx. 20K miles and the issuse subsided for a while but has started happening again with approx 37K miles. This is a very unnerving and dangerous situation when it happens.

- Leander, TX, USA

Vehicle experienced an uncontrollable front end "wobble" at highway speed. Has occurred 3 times in the past week. 2 of those incidents with young (19 and 24 yr old) drivers at the wheel. Seems to occur coming off a bridge onto highway pavement at 60-65 mph.

While traveling at highway speeds I hit a bump and my truck went into a very violent shake, took my truck to autonation Ford in littleton co, they replaced the steering damper, it had 15,000 miles on it. At 21,000 miles the same thing happened, I again returned to autonation Ford and they told me on the service report that I needed to install after market products and they would not do anything else to my truck. I have since been in contact with the dealership where I purchased the truck, spradley Ford in pueblo co. They informed me it was a camber and caster issue and any Ford dealership knows of the problem and should be able to fix the issue. I have spoken with autonation Ford in littleton and summit Ford in silverthorne co, both have told me they have not heard of any such issue. Today I spoke with 4 wheel parts about my issue, they told me they are back logged with Ford trucks with the same issue and it can be resolved with many part replacements at a cost ranging from $25 to $700, unless the tires need to be replaced due to wear. At this point I feel my truck is unsafe to drive and which direction to take to resolve the issue of the "death wobble"
