On or about 30 Nov 2020 at approximately 445pm I was driving on hwy 28 East bound traveling at 65 mph by myself, when my front end began to vigorously shake, I first thought it might of had a flat tire..it was hard to control vehicle but slowed down and let coast to side of road. I could not figure out what it was but it stopped. On 4th December while taking my 2 kids to the roller skating rink, my front end began to shake vigorously again, this time I almost hit another vehicle, like the first time I was traveling..I was going about 60 mph. I contacted benoit Ford where I purchased my vehicle and I'm scheduled to have it looked at on 7 December 2020.

Driving truck started shaking lost steering ran in ditch tire rod broke front end messed

- Florence, MS, USA

Running at 70 mph. Hit a bridge expansion joint. The vehicle started a front end oscillation that was extremely violent. I had to rapidly reduce speed and struggled with directional control. At 30 mph the oscillating quit. I was in the fast lane and traffic had to brake heavily and swerve around me to avoid collision. This happened again yesterday. Ford dealership says there are known issues, but parts required to correct the problem are back ordered and there is no known date to get the parts to fix the problem. This vehicle just hit 25K miles. This is a serious safety issue.

- Los Lunas, NM, USA

My vehicle's front tires started wobbling violently after going over bumps in the highway going speeds between 55mph and 80mph. These violent wobbles cause me to slam on my brakes and the wobble does not go away until I reached speeds between 20-30mph. The wobble jerks your steering wheel and shakes the entire truck and in some cases the wobble throws the vehicle into another lane and you do not have control of the vehicle until you reach the slower speeds. The wobble started after either 1. riding over a normal bump or slightly un level area of a highway 2. hitting small (less than 12" diameter) potholes on the highway, 3. going over train tracks on 2 lane roads.

- Destin, FL, USA

My truck only has about 42,000 miles and out of no were it started shaking real bad at highway speeds. As soon as a bump or bridge conection was hit the vibration of the vehicle would increase to a point were you have to slow down to almost a complete stop to be able to regain control of the vehicle again. Due to this I was inches away from hitting the center barrier on a freeway after nearly losing control of the vehicle completly. I had taken it to the dealership due to a small vibration and they replaced the steering dampener on the warranty and out of my pocket the steering drag link and it helped but was still getting a vibration and no more than a week later the same thing happened almost took me out of the road. Im not aure what is causing this but it has to get corrected.

- Palmview, TX, USA

Developed severe front end steering wobble (death wobble) at approximately 17,000 miles, August, 2020. Has occurred seven times since into the month of November, at speeds between 70 to 75 mph, on highways after hitting uneven road or potholes. Several times the incidents were severe with emergency braking in high speed traffic, with near crash, or accident. I have replaced steering stabilizer, and track bar with no improvement. I have not been to a Ford dealer, since they do not have a recall on this common occurrence, and do not have a permanent fix to the problem.

- Prescott, AZ, USA

Driving on the highway between 70-75 mph and hit a bump in the road and the front end started shaking violently. This happened twice in one commute. From a quick google search it looks like a very large amount of people are having this same issue and from forum boards they are all asking why this hasn't become a safety recall issue yet? the truck will shake violently and the only way I can get it to stop shaking is come down to almost a complete stop. That's not easy or safe on a highway especially if you are in a left lane. I'd like every hot shot or big wig high up in the Ford industry to give that a try and then look me in the eye and tell me that's not a safety issue or shouldn't be a safety recall. Go for it, busy commute, fast lane, hit a bump, violently shaking, then coming safely to a stop. Not just unsafe for myself, but every other person within the vicinity of my truck. Lastly, I purchased this vehicle used this year with only 36K miles and now only has 48K which is hardly enough miles for any major wear and tear. Continuing on that, I was test driving another newer F250 (2019) and during the test drive it did the exact same thing. From what I'm gathering online, this is a major issue that has yet to be addressed and I fear will only be taking seriously when someone gets killed. Why" because I'm sure it's going to cost Ford a ton of money. $40K used truck for me a ton of money. But death" well, I guess that's a risk Ford is willing to take to save face. The 'death wobble' as its being called. The end.

I have experienced violent shacking of the steering wheel and entire truck. I had this issue present itself over 6 times since purchasing it in Sept. 2016. I purchased the truck brand new from a Ford dealership. First and second instance were in late 2017with less approximately 18K miles. All instances have happened while driving on interstate at 60 mph or higher. The steering wheel starts to shake and then continues to violently shake and the entire cab is shaking. Lose of steering control. Only stopped after forcibly slowing down truck to below 25 mile per hour causing possible collision with other vehicles or barriers. Have taken it to Ford dealership after the second instance and they say Ford is not acknowledging the issue and could do nothing about it. In may of 2020, the dealer did acknowledge that their was an issue and they replaced steering damper under warranty but after 4 months the issue came back more violently than before. On Oct. 28th, 2020, it occurred 4 times while driving within a 40 mile distance. This time the truck should so violently I had to almost come to a complete stop on the interstate to make it stop shacking. Road were wet and and in heavy traffic. I do not feel that it is safe to drive truck anymore while this issue present. I have re-contacted the dealership and mentioned the issue and service they performed back in may, they did not return call for assistance.

- Hudson Oaks, TX, USA

Driving on interstate 69 at 70mph when I hit an overpass bridge. The rough pavement cause my truck to violently shake the tires and almost crashed into an 18 wheeler fuel truck. The shaking didn't go away until my speed dropped to 50mph. Serious defect that Ford is not finding the correct fix for. Ford has replaced the damper twice and the track bar. The shake came back 3 weeks after the last track bar replacement. The correct fix, I believe, is a caster adjustment at 3+ degrees. But Ford will not try the fix. It will cost me to do that and void the warranty.

- Newburgh, IN, USA

When driving on the freeway. When it hits slightly rough pavement the struck starts wobbling super aggressively as if a tire popped. Very scary and very dangerous. Ford needs to do something about it before they kill someone if they already didn't.

- Monterey, CA, USA

2017 Ford F-250 4X4 when im driving at approximately 50-60 mph on a straight smooth paved highway, the vehicle starts shaking in the front end without warning. The front wheel shaked so bad I thought it was going to come off.

- Daniel, WY, USA

The truck has what they are calling on these trucks, 'the death wobble' after tons of research. This should 100% be a recall! the truck begins to wobble at highway speeds. Very unsafe for me and my family getting on the highway. I purchased the truck at the end of may and have had this problem since I bought

- Cleburne, TX, USA

I have experienced "death wobble" in my truck 6 times in the past 3 months.. this is a violent steering wheel oscillations. As this has happened with my truck with my family in the truck my wife will no longer ride in the truck and will not allow my son in the truck. This has been to the shop more than 15 times trying to repair with no fix, last time spent more than 2 weeks at the dealer for them to not fix the issue. This needs to be addressed by Ford and fixed as I am 1 of many people to experience this issue! this happens in motion speeds above 45 mph, has happened on the interstate 4 of the 6 times and 2 times was on the highway.. last time was pulling a 9,000lb travel trailer with my family in the truck next to semi that almost cause me to completely lose control!

- Earlham, IA, USA

When driving at highway speeds and you hit a pot hole or other rough bumps in the road the truck develops a severe wobble in the front end until you can get slowed down to about 40mph. I am currently on the fourth attempt with the dealership to fix the problem.

- Tucson, AZ, USA

I have had the truck for 3 years and bought it brand new. Lately, for several months after hitting a bump in the road traveling between 50 and 60 mph the steering wheel and truck shake hard enough to potentially loose grip on the steering wheel. It has been to the dealership after I got notification of a possible steering linkage and suspension issue. I drove it afterwards and it seemed better. Within a month it was back to doing the same thing if not worse. It is currently still under warranty so it has not cost me anything, yet. It happens on both highway, city and back roads. This is extremely dangerous since it catches you unexpectedly after while even traveling on relatively smooth roads.

- Delmar, DE, USA

While driving at 75 mph I experienced what is known as the death wobble again, in Ford Super Duty's. this after Ford replaced a part and told me it was fixed. The Ford dealership said since they cannot duplicate the issue after the new part was installed as recommended per Ford they do not do anything about it. Attached is copy of work done when the issues first happened and the part they installed.
