Steering oscillations aka "death wobble": at 60-65 mph or greater, the steering wheel oscillates violently and the vehicle is difficult to control. The oscillation only stops after lowering speed to about 10 mph. The vehicle has 23,000 miles. This is a repeated problem; the dealer fixed it before at about 12,000 miles, but the problem has returned. The problem occurs multiple times a day and usually at specific areas where there are particular bumps on the highway surface.

- Santa Fe, TX, USA

While traveling down the interstate at approx 70 mph I hit a bump and the vehicle's steering became violently erratic, jerking the steering wheel from my hands and the vehicle was shaking as if it was being torn apart internally. I had to slow to almost 10 mph before I was able to regain control of the vehicle. This is the 4th time the vehicle has acted in such a manner.

My 2017 Ford F-250 was having what I would describe as a "death wobble" when I drove over 65mph and hit any imperfection in the roadway (small pot hole, uneven surface at bridges, very small textured road) this happened around 5 times before I took it to the dealership. Once they looked it over, they said it was stabilizer bar, tension rod and bushings wore out, pick-up had 50K miles so... no warranty on repairs ($895 in repairs). This is a major safety issue, once wobble started I had to slow down to 40-45 mph and pull to shoulder of hi way to stop severe shaking of steering wheel and front end bouncing. It felt like a blow out on the front tires.

Death wobble when hit bumps going freeway speeds. Loss of steering and truck shakes violently until speed is reduced to 25-30 mph. Almost lost control on a recent vacation while pulling camp trailer.

- Riverton, UT, USA

I was pulling a camper down a state highway and hit a place in the road where they repaired a culvert and the steering wheel started shaking violently, I almost lost control before I got slowed down enough to get it to stop. I was only traveling at 55 mph. Since then this has happened around 10 times doesn't matter if I'm loaded or not when I hit rough patches in road or bridge transition. It about takes steering wheel out of my had it's shaking so bad, took to deelership and they said they fixed it but it continues to do it and they say they can't get it to happen with them so they really can't do nothing about it. It's hit or miss when it does it but when it happens you can't control it it's like the wheel is shaking so hard it's locked and won't let you steer the truck to keep it from running off into ditch. The truck only has 24600 miles but it's been doing it since around 7000 miles. Will continue to take it to them till it gets fixed before I have a wreck.

At 60 miles an hr when you cross a bridge connection the front end shakes and wobbles violently. It literally takes control if the steering. Scary to say the least. Called sealership they said it is a common issue even named it death wobble. This should be a recall item! I almost crashed.

Driving on a highway I drove over a bridge at 65 mph, truck started a massive vibration in front. I was not able to steer or brake effectively

- Vanceburg, KY, USA

At approximately 50 mph vehicle began vibrating wildly. I stopped and checked for damage and there was none. Took it to my Ford's dealer and they described it as 'death wobble' and claimed to have fixed it. I recently was traveling at 65 mph and a rough section of road caused it to begin the death wobble. I stopped the truck and examined it again. Started driving and the wild vibration started again. I have taken it to another Ford dealer to fix.

When driving at highway speeds of 65mph to 75mph if the vehicle hits a rough bump in the road the truck will violently shake and bounce up and down pulling the steering wheel out of your hands. This causes a complete loss of control of the vehicle. You need to slow down immediatly in heavy traffic to 25mph to get it to stop. This happened to me twice yesterday on a highway trip from Chicago to denver going 70mph on I-76 westbound, May 9,2019. The second time I was almost rear ended by a semi-truck. Somebody is going to get killed if Ford does not fix this asap. I have dash cam video of this but the file is too large to upload.

At normal highway speed and hit a bump excessive shaking in the steering and/or front end

- Alvord, TX, USA

While driving the vehicle on highways/interstates between 60 mph and 75 mph I will hit a ridge or pot hole on roadway; vehicle will rapidly develop an excessive steering wheel oscillation (aka death wobble). Will have to slow down and almost stop before death wobble goes away. Vehicle has less than 27000 miles on it. This has occurred at least 10 times. The vehicle is all stock with no aftermarket modificatios and have had all rrquired services performed in a timely manner. The Ford dealership where I purchased vehicle has performed Ford's tsb 18-2268 on vehicle; this did not resolve the issue. The dealership has received additional procedures from Ford Motor Company and have performed them; this did not resolve the issue. I have escalated the issue with Ford Motor Company. They have assigned a case number to the situation; please contact me for the specific case number.

"death wobble" occurs when hitting bumps or going over overpass where road texture changes over 50 mph. Vehicle violently shakes and looses control until speed is reduced. This could cause a major accident. Taken to Ford dealership 2 times to repair with no luck. Vehicle is still under warranty and only has 22,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. While driving 75 mph, the contact lost control of the vehicle as it experienced the death wobble and shook violently. Also, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact and his wife had no control as the vehicle sped through three lanes. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not towed. The vehicle was taken to jim click Ford (6244 E 22nd St, tucson, AZ 85711, (877) 777-9263) where it was diagnosed that a steering damper needed to be installed. The vehicle was repaired. While the contact and his family were taking a road trip, the repair failed within hours. The vehicle accelerated in traffic and experienced the death wobble. The vehicle was repaired three times. The vehicle needed a shim installed because the original shim detached from the vehicle's body. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 3,000.

Bought vehicle on Wednesday, 4/3/2019. On 4/4/2019 I was driving home and the truck began to shake uncontrollably after crossing a bridge. After slowing down, the truck smoothed out. Today, 4/6/2019, the truck did this two more times within 10 minutes. I was driving down the interstate. I had to pull over to the side of the interstate and nearly stop before it smoothed out again. I do have a video of the second incident. My child is now too scared to ride in my "new" truck and quite frankly, so am I. I contacted a dealer and was told I had to pay several hundred dollars to fix it even though it is under warranty. That is a separate battle that I now have to fight. This is a problem that needs to be fixed.
