We-€™ve been experiencing the Ford know -€œDeathwobble-€ since approximately 30,000 miles and we currently have 48,000. Ford has replaced the steering stabilizer at least two times and it reoccurs within 4,000 miles. I-€™ve spent countless hours online trying to remedy this problem. I recently replaced the drag link and the associated tie rod end (The OEM ones had minimal play but I wanted to rule out any possibilities), changed to a Bilstein steering stabilizer and 4 new Bilstein shocks. Unfortunately, on are recent 150 mile trip we had two terrifying Death Wobble experiences that we came very close both times having an accident. Today we were actually forced to go into highway median to avoid being pulled into other high speed traffic. I-€™m including pictures of the tire marks of this incident. This problem is very dangerous and frightening to have happen. Please help!

Death Wobble on numerous occasions. I first took it to Ford and put some "dampener" on it to fix it. I noticed that the truck still vibrated, but did not go into the death wobble immediately.4-5 months later, a worse death wobble started. It always happens when you hit a bridge abutment paving transition. The violent shaking does not stop until you slow way down. I have had to leave the road twice due to 18 wheelers behind me. It is so bad now, vehicles around me can see the violent shaking and move over and get away from me. This is an extremely dangerous event. If a younger driver freaks out and lets go of the steering wheel, deaths will be inevitable.

The front end and steering wheel shake out of control when going over 50 MPH. I have to stop the truck to stop the shaking.

I have randomly experienced violent shaking of the steering wheel while driving, and have come close to striking vehicles in other lanes twice when this has happened. After discussing incident with co-workers that also own F250's they have experienced same issue which is also known as "Death Wobble". Apparently this is a common defect with Ford trucks and there has not been any recall done on this issue. My Truck has less than 45k miles on it, and I am concerned for my safety and my family's safety while driving this vehicle.

While driving down the highway on dry non windy evening at 75mph the front end started to violently shaking "death wobble" the shaking was transfered through the steering wheel and the entire truck was shaking violently side to side. I was in fear I was going to crash or the truck shake apart. I was able to slow the vehicle down and pull off the road. After visualizing the front end and tires I could find no loose or broken equipment. All tire pressure was within 2 lbs of each other. Vehicle is a 2017 Ford F250 XLT diesel with 85K miles. I was able to continue and drive the truck on the side roads home. I have had no recent work done. This is the first time. I am in fear of driving the vehicle.

This vehicle has what is commonly known as the death wobble. I have taken it in to have the issue resolved and repairs were made. The repairs haven't completely resolved the issue. The steering and suspension issues over bump at highway speeds still cause it to feel like there may be a loss of control.

While driving at a speed of 65mph on the interstate, I began to make the curve in the road. Ahead of me was a bump in the road as my front wheels hit the bump, my truck sharply turned pushing me into the other lane and began shaking violently. Shaking was so bad I could barely hold onto the steering wheel or control the vehicle. I began to slow down and around 25mph the shaking finally stopped and the truck seemed to return to normal function.

- Hamilton, OH, USA

Mileage 21098. Driving down highway 65 mph, road got bumpy, I thought the pickup was going to shake it self apart. Lucky no other vehicles was around me. I managed to get it stopped and pulled over, it was very frightening, I could not find the problem. It happened again at 45 mph. I took it to the dealer, and they said "yes we are very famillar with this problem. They performed recall 20N04 and replaced steering damper. I still get lot of shaking and lot of control, especially on gravel roads with washboards.

When at highway speeds, if the vehicle drives over a pothole or uneven road, the front end suspension (including steering wheel and front wheels) begin to wobble violently. It has been characterized as the death wobble. The problem only corrects itself once the truck is grossly slowed down without braking. Braking makes the issue worse as it is happening. I have almost lost control of the truck. Ford has been of no help in this issue. Waiting for a recall.

I've had my truck to the dealer previously for bad vibration in the front end and steering when on the interstate going 65-70mph after hitting an imperfection in the road. Dealer first replaced the steering damper in may/2020. The vibration continued, but wasn't as bad as previously experienced. Then last week the vibration worsened. I then experienced what was known as the death wobble. I was on the interstate and hit an imperfection in the road and almost lost control with a violent vibration in steering and entire body. Almost had a horrible accident with a semi tractor as I was trying to gain control. Worst experience I have ever had. Took it to the dealer the very next day, 4/21/2021, and they replaced the track ball joint. I bought this vehicle new, and now only 38K miles. I love Ford trucks, as this is my second F250 I've owned. The first one was a 2003, which I also bought new. I'm very frustrated with these front end parts wearing out prematurely. I had to pay for the repairs yesterday as my truck is out of warranty, which I feel Ford should have fixed this due to it's previous repair for vibration issues when rolling over imperfections in the road. I am now wondering if I should get rid of this truck after reading multiple topics on the internet of other owners having the same experiences.

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.

- Bastrop, TX, USA

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.

- Ruckersville, VA, USA

The front of the truck began shaking violently at 65 mphon interstate 40 East just before exit 24 in nc. This is the first time I have experienced this but I have read that this is common on these trucks and is known as the death wobble. It is extremely unsafe. I have just over 51,000 miles on this truck. It is completely stock like it came from the factory. It then did this wobble two more times on less than 2 miles. I am really glad no one was following me too close as I had to, brake very quickly.

- Clyde, NC, USA

56K miles. Bought the truck in Oct/2020 and death wobble has occurred a dozen times driving over 55 mph and hitting a bump. Steering wheel shakes violently and must steer onto shoulder and stop for the vibration to stop.

- Milford, OH, USA

Basically the truck at anything over 65 to 70 miles an hour hits any type of bump it violently shakes uncontrollably. It is happened three times and I have now park the truck I am driving another vehicle because I feel unsafe that I'm gonna kill myself or other people on the road, it's that violent. The three times that it has happened has been on the highway. Every time it's happened it's always after hitting a rut or some rough road surface. This is not normal at all. Ford Motor Company needs to recall or fix to 100% satisfaction customers concerns. Again this is a major safety issue for vehicles on the road and being around other people or other vehicles when this happens it will lead to a catastrophe on the road lives will be lost. If it has not happened already, but has not been documented.

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.

- Santa Cruz, CA, USA

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.
