While the vehicle is traveling above 45 miles an hour I hit a bump in the road and the front driver side wheel starts to wobble and steadily wobbles faster and faster until the vehicle is hard to control and I have to bring it to a stop for it to settle down before I can proceed this first happened in December 2018 I took it to the dealer they said everything was fine it happened again in February 2019 the vehicle is now at the dealer for over a week for this problem I have since learned and done research the term that is being used is the death wobble the truck has 15,500 miles on

Vehicle enters an uncontrollable steering warble when exiting bridges on the interstate. Problem was mentioned and "repaired" at 17000 miles. Yesterday the warble came back after exiting a bridge. It was so bad that I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle and ended up in the median. The vehicle is stock with only a tool box and bed cover added. Yesterday it happened at 65 mph heading in a straight direction while pulling a trailer on hwy 64. Tsb # 18-2268 has already been completed. The first time this happened the vehicle had approximately 17000 miles on it. It has returned more violently after the repair at 30124 miles

2017 F250 with 43,000 miles and have had the death wobble many times. I've brought it to the dealer multiple time to have the issue fixed. All they do is put a new steering damper on. The problem goes away for a few thousand miles, but happens again. I keep waste time and money to have this issue fixed. Every time it happens I just pray it's not the day I die, for how violently it shakes the vehicle. Would hate for Ford to have a lawsuit against them due to the death of someone because of this issue, and they won't do anything to fix the problem.

When I hit a bump or expansion joint over 45 mph my 2017 Ford F250 goes into a death wobble. I have had it to the dealer 3 times now. I know Ford has issued a tsb #18-2268 with replacement parts to try to fix the problem. On my 3rd trip to the dealer they replaced the parts included in the tsb except for a new steering stabilizer. I was told they are on backorder and they needed to try these other steps first. After driving home from the dealer today I still experience vibration in the steering wheel. Didnt go into the death wobble today but suspect it will happen again with the vibration still there.

Truck has a "death wobble" at speeds above 56 mph.

- Linden, MI, USA

Driving at highway speeds, hit a bump in the road causing a 'death wobble' almost causing me to crash. Had to slow down to 45mph or slower for it to subside. This has happened 4 times. It is very unsafe.

- Tyler, TX, USA

Death wobble. Was traveling on the freeway at 70mph when I passed over a bridge and the truck started to violently shake the front end. I had to slow to 30pmh to regain control after uncontrollably being forced into another lane and almost causing an accident. This is the second time that this has happened to this truck and the first time after Ford attempted to fix the issues by replacing parts. I have video of both events and Ford will not fix the issue stating there is nothing wrong.

While driving at appx. 70-75 mph after hitting a rough patch or bumps on the road the truck began to shake vigorously, I had to slow to 35-40 mph to get it to stop. I have just had the tires balance, rotated, and inflated to the specs. I was just in the dearlship on Friday 02/15/19 and mentioned it to them they said they would look at it and would be $120 diagnostic fee never got an answer back. This morning alone I had experienced it 3 times in the 40 miles I drive to work. This is a huge safety issue and to experience it that many times in a 40 mile drive to work is not ok. Luckily my kids and wife weren't in the truck they would have never rode in it again. I have 41K miles on my tuck and this isn't the first time it has happened. Before taking the tries to be balanced and rotated fixed the issue so it seamed but right after laving the tire shop it happened. I will be taking the truck back to Ford again for them to tell me there is nothing wrong. What is the fix for this" it seams to a common problem is Ford doing anything to help its customers" now after this run of sudden shakes my sun roof will not open seams to be jammed or off track from the violent shaking not sure what else is broken or no longer works after this.

2017 F250 with 35K. First time hauling my 3 horse bumper pull trailer. Went over the bump onto an overpass on the interstate going 70 and the whole truck started shaking violently. The seats and steering wheel were shaking. It was terrifying. I slowed to 55 and it stopped. It did it to me twice yesterday with sophie in the car. I googled 2017 F250 shaking. It's a death wobble. And lots of people are having the issue.

- Millington, TN, USA

The "death wobble" happened to me when I got my speed up to 55mph on a state highway, the front of the truck started to shake violently and uncontrollably, I had to slow down to about 30 before regaining control. This is a huge safety issue that Ford has to address!!

- Pike Road, AL, USA

My Ford F-250 experienced a severe "death wobble" on 3 occasions causing the need to slow down from 65 mph to 25 mph on the freeway during normal traffic. On one occasion, the shaking was so bad it went to the adjacent driving lane while on an on-ramp and was completely uncontrollable. The vehicle is at the Ford dealership now and having the steering shock replaced but the service rep stated they are just trying this as a solution but do not know the root cause. They are also requesting that I pay for an alignment as another possible solution. The truck has roughly 20K miles on it and is completely stock (less a camper shell). I do not feel safe putting my 2 year old, 7 year old, or wife in a very expensive vehicle while having to worry if the truck will cause a wreck due to a factory defect.

- Denver, CO, USA

With only 15,000 miles, my Ford F250 4X4 Super Duty truck (all stock) would wobble violently when hitting a bump or dip on the road, typically at speeds over 45mph. I brought the truck in for service as this occurs frequently. Ford replaced several steering parts and admitted to what they call a "death wobble". what scares me the most is that the wobble was so bad, it forced me into the medial of the interstate and nearly caused a major accident. My fears are more toward that if I had my 17 year old driving the truck, much worse could have happened as it took all I had to maneuver the truck off the highway and down to a safe speed to bring the truck back under control. The wobble or shimmy was so extreme that I felt it needed reported. When I asked if the parts replacement would solve the problem indefinitely, they could not give me a good answer. So my fears again are "what if this happens again and what if my teenager is driving". I don't feel this problem is resolved and needs further investigation before someone is seriously hurt, or worse.

Death wobble - at about 55-60 miles per hour with an empty truck, I experienced the death wobble on the freeway. My truck seemed to go over a very slight pothole in the road and began this jumping. The freeway was crowded and I was in lane#3. the truck swerved violently. I had to slam on my brakes and get to the shoulder. The death wobble did not stop until I slowed to about 15 miles per hour. I was unable to control the vehicle. The problem happened once more the same day. It took Ford a week to get an appointment. Once the vehicle was seen they only replaced the steering damper with the same type and did a front end alignment. Truck still wants to jump around on road surfaces and I feel the death wobble could happen at any moment. The service manager acted like this was the first time he had heard of this issue, until I did a google search and found many discussions and complaints about other 2017 Super Duty trucks doing the same thing. Then they admitted to seeing it on other vehicles. I felt like I was going to crash at any moment.

Stock, as delivered by the dealer, 2017 F250 superduty 4X4 FX4 with 20, xxx miles. Three events have occurred so far.. at speeds around 55mph the front end starts to shake violently after hitting bump.(death wobble). The bump that initiated the violent shaking of the truck and loss of steering control were not major bumps and on state highways. You loose control of steering the truck until the vehicle is below 25mph. Found numerous references of this occurring when searching issue on line. Dealer says it an known issue and would replace a steering component bushing under warranty. Asked if this would solve the issue. Was told to try an aftermarket dual stabilizer. Dealer would not cover under warranty. Sounded to me like they component that was damaged would be replace but the cause of the component failure would not be resolved.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated that there had been an extensive 'death wobble' upon driving over uneven asphalt. The contact had to maneuver the steering wheel with force to ensure that it was stabilized while the vehicle was in motion. Southland Ford (801 North St, ashburn, ga 31714, (229) 567-3301) diagnosed the vehicle and replaced some front end parts, including the tire stabilizer, bushings, dampeners, and reset the camber caster. The manufacturer was notified of the death wobble and did not assist. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

While driving on the highway between speeds of 55-70 mph when you hit a bump or uneven terrain the whole front end of the truck including the steering column will shake violently until you brake and bring the speed below 40 mph. This is not safe and could cause a major accident

- Wadsworth, OH, USA

At approximately 65 to 70 mph and upon hitting a bump/expansion joint/pothole in the road, the truck will enter into a non-dampening castor oscillation (I.e. death wobble). When this occurs it can be very difficult to control and the driver must slow down to approximately 40 - 45 mph to get the wobble to stop. This can be extremely dangerous when towing a large/heavy trailer.

- Ofallon, IL, USA

There is a nationwide problem with the Ford Super Duty trucks it's been in the dealer theee times to correct death wobble which is extreamly dangerous and Ford is giving the american public the run around and putting the public in danger, when somebody gets killed because of this it's going to be known that the problem was well documented and known and happening all over the country people are posting it on all social media's how is the government not stepping in on this?

- Oswego, IL, USA

I experienced steering ossalation and what is considered the "death wobble" while traveling at around 70 mph, it happens after crossing a bridge seam the truck becames uncontrollable, shaking violently, it was so violent I had to slow to almost 20 mph to get it to stop but I was able to get off to the side of the road once I could control the steering. This is not an isolated issue and seems a huge problem with the 2017. Ford has issued a tsb, but the truck should be recalled. 1 affected product

2017 Ford F 250 diesel 19,000 miles, February 6, 2019 on highway 70 @ approx. 60-65 mph(tire pressure 55#) I hit a bridge expansion joint, the front wheel went into a uncontrollable wooble, finally slowed sufficient to get it under control. Initially at 17,000 miles, I had noticed a slight wobble when going over certain bumps and expansion joints. Took it to the dealer, they tested it and set the tire pressure lower, until this incident it was better. Will be going in for oil change and bring this to dealers attention,
