While driving I made a left hand turn and when straightening the steering wheel it was 90 degrees out of alignment which caused the truck to steer to the right almost striking another vehicle. The dash had a warning message come on stating adaptive steering fault service required. I have taken it in for service and the steering wheel needs replaced which is a recall on some ford super duty-??s the same year but this one was not included

Uncontrollable shaking wobble in steering known as death wobble.

- Plainveiw, NE, USA

I was on the freeway and doing about 70 and I hit some bumps in the road and my vehicle started to violently shake and I was unable to control my vehicle. I had to hit the breaks and slow down to regain control of my vehicle. This the second time this has happened. Vehicle was repaired about 2 years ago for the same thing. Ford repaired the damper steering linkage last time this incident happened. AKA DEATH WOBBLE.

2017 f250 death wobble when I hit a small bump on the interstate

- Tuscumbia, AL, USA

After driving for a short distance in my 2017 F250 Diesel (75k miles) I pulled into a store. Turned off truck. Upon return and starting truck I got a dash alert that said Adaptive Steering Fault Service Required. When I began to drive I noticed my steering wheel was turned left to the 10 o-??clock position while driving straight down the road. I drove to the dealer as I felt my batteries were sluggish at starting and needed both replaced. Luckily batteries were covered but dealer said I need new Battery Cable Harness for $4596.59! I did some research and found the Adaptive Steering Fault is a known issue with several people as is the Battery Cable Harness. I also read where a voltage issue can cause the Adaptive Steering Fault alert which is why I mention the wire harness. I-??ve also known others with the battery cable issue and there is a recall on other years not mine. The dealer wants $465.88 just to diagnose the adaptive steering so who knows what cost would be to replace at this point. This all is extremely dangerous as I don-??t know if the adaptive steering controls will decide to start working and adjust my steering while driving causing an accident. There have been recalls on both issues but not my model and year. Truck is currently at dealer and I filed complaint with Ford Consumer to no resolution at this point.

Death Wobble. Was driving speed limit of 65mph and vehicle started a violent, uncontrollable shuddering and bouncing movement to the left almost hitting the dividing wall on the interstate. I had little control over steering of vehicle and was barely able to avoid slamming into wall. Finally got vehicle stopped. Has happened before at lower speed. Has happened several times before with less violent shuddering after hitting bumps in roadway. Now understand how very dangerous and scary the less severe incidents have been after this latest incident!

My truck experienced death wobble during a recent trip multiple times on the interstate on our way home. With no warning, the truck started shaking violently at 70 mph. I had to immediately slow down in traffic and work my way over to the right lane. We stopped to confirm there was no tire issue or other notable visual problem before proceeding. It occurred again shortly after stopping and I had to do the same thing. We stopped again and found no visible issue, so we continued at a much slower pace. The truck wobbled a few more times but not as violently as the first two. There were no warning lights displayed.
