I am experiencing what people refer to as 'the death wobble'. it has happened about 4 times since I purchased the truck in December 2020. All 4 instances were the same.... going around maybe 48mph on a city street with uneven pavement/small holes the truck begins to shake uncontrollably. I mean, the whole truck will viciously shake and give the driver no control until the vehicle is slowed down to about 25mph. When it shakes you have to hold on to the steering wheel tight and just try your best to stay in your lane. It's so dangerous and scary! there are tons of videos of other Ford online doing exactly what happens to me in my truck. I believe it is an issue with 2017+ Ford F-250 and F-350's but there is no current recall. Something with these year models suspension is not correct. The dealer I purchased the truck from is going to replace the dampeners, but from what I have read from everyone with this issue, it is a temporary fix and the wobble returns after a few months. There is a Ford installed 6in lift and 37in tires on the truck(had this when I purchased) but from investigating this issue is not related to that.

While driving on the freeway at 65 mph the steering wheel violently began shaking uncontrollably. You could visually see and feel the entire front of the truck shaking. It got worse when I applied the brakes. This has occurred several times when driving over minor imperfections on the road. I took the truck in to get the recall fixed, but it did not fix the wobble. I actually experienced an even worse wobble 1 week after the repair. The wobble is still a serious problem. The first time it happened, the wobble was not immediately noticeable as it was mild and I thought it was the road. The second time it happened, I thought I ran over something on the road that caused me to get a flat tire when in fact the tire was fine and that was the actual wobble. Everything was shaking and I had to grip the steering wheel to control the direction of the truck. Each occurrence happened while driving between 55-65 mph on the freeway.

Whenever driving on the highway at speeds between 50-70 mph, every time I hit a bump or hole in the road, my truck begins to wobble, nearly uncontrollably. At slower speeds, I can still feel the wobble. It only does not wobble when I hit bumps going 15 mph or less.

While traveling along an interstate at 75-80 mph, as the vehicle traveled over a paved bridge joint, the vehicle suddenly begin to shake violently, as if the vehicle was going to shatter apart. I had no steering ability and could not control the vehicle. I had to nearly come to a slow roll, on the interstate, in order to allow the vehicle to return back to normalcy. The violent shaking continued for approximately 10-15 seconds before the shaking subsided enough for me to regain control of the vehicle. This same event, on a different roadway, occurred again within 30 days of the first event.

Driving on I 495 last night and experienced death wobble. I have under 27,000 miles on my 2017 F250. In the past, I notice shaking but this was alot worse and lasted a long time. I had to put on hazard lights and move over lanes to shoulder while slowing down. Fortunately, I was not in an accident but could easily have benn.

The death wabble was a problem for our gas F-250 crew cab. The problem was warped front rotors. The problem did not show up on any diagnostic and the front brakes and rotors were rated 'good'. the problem was discovered by a talented mechanic who ruled out everything else and performed a visual inspection of the suspect rotors. This is an epidemic problem and it is caused by the manufacturer of the factory supplied rotors!!! Ford must avoid inferior parts that warp in changing temperatures.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle started to shake violently back and forth. The vehicle then loss power steering functionality. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and inspected underneath the vehicle and under the hood. The contact was unable to determine a cause for the failure. The contact restarted the vehicle and started driving and the failure recurred. The vehicle was driven to the residence. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called winslow Ford (840 mike's pike St, winslow, AZ 86047, (800)331-6698) who stated that they would check remotely to see what caused the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.

I have had the truck in three times for the front tires shaking and vibrations in the steering. Just had the truck in two weeks ago to have it fixed again and still vibrating.

The truck has only 30K miles on it and last week while driving it on the freeway it suddenly developed a violent shaking at speeds over 60mph. Only by braking and pulling over to the shoulder were we able to stop the shaking. We are trying to work with our local Ford dealership-they think it's a problem with the steering dampner and the track bar.

While driving at highway speed and pulling a trailer out of nowhere truck begins to shake violently and steering becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. I quickly slammed on brakes to reduce speed to about 40mph to regain control and stop shaking. Luckily, I was traveling on a straight section of road. I can only imagine if this were to happen on a turn or slope. This has happened three times since owning the truck. Each time Ford dealership replaced same part for a steering damper does not seem to fix the problem. After researching my incidents I found similar stories referring to this as the death wobble.

Driving on the highway at highway speeds I went over a small crack in the road. Immediately the front end started to violently shake and I lost all steering control. The only corrective action was to slow down to around 40 mph on the highway. This has happened to me three times with three truck acting in the same manner as before; losing all steering control of the truck. I contacted my local Ford dealer for assistance. This incident could have ended badly, slowing down on the highway and losing all steering control.

When making a transition between road surfaces or irregularities in the road surfaces above 50mph the steering enters a high frequency oscillation that requires an abrupt slow down to regained control. This has also happened when hitting potholes below 50 mph. This is referred to ask the "death wobble" and can be seen on youtube. This has happened enough that it is not a one time incident or a flake. The vehicle has less than 50,000 miles and its going to the Ford dealer for repair.

- Winchester, KY, USA

At 55-65 mph, if I hit any kind of a bump in the road, the front end of the truck starts to violently shake to the point where it is hard to control the vehicle. I have to immediately bring the vehicle down to 30 mph to get the shaking under control. It is an extremely dangerous defect in the vehicle and someone is going to get hurt. Ford dealership will not fix without me paying for the repairs, and they have no certain fix, they plan on just replacing parts one thing at a time at my expense. This has been going on for approx 6 months.

When I operate my 2017 Ford F250 at speeds greater than 45 mph and encounter a pot hole or bump in the road the truck begins a terrible "death wobble". the steering wheel shakes violently and the entire truck shakes and rattles. The dealership replaced a steering damper as part of a Ford extended warranty program but now claim the problem will persist because I have worn ball joints and a drag link that needs replaced. I was told this would cost me over $1,100 and it is not covered by Ford although it is obviously a flaw and a result of the failed damper. I can't believe Ford is willing to ignore such an issue. My family won't ride on the highway in the truck as it is too frightening for them. The sad part is the truck has 25,000 miles and cost me $50,000 and I can't drive it or depend on it now.

While driving at around 45 - 65 mph the front end will shake violently after hitting a rough spot in the road. This would happen on both city streets and highways. It would happen on a straightaway and curves. This has happened on numerous occasions. It makes the vehicle extremely difficult to handle. The first time this happened was on or about Feb. 24, 2018 on I-80 between salt lake city and elko, nv. At that time the vehicle had approximately 7,500 miles on it. It has been getting progressively worse. It scares the holy crud out of all passengers. I understand this is a common problem that Ford is having.
