I was driving down the highway today around 70 MPH when I went over a very small pothole. The steering wheel started to shake violently and then the whole truck started to shake. I slowed down and started to pull over because I thought I had blown a tire. When I got down to about 20 MPH on the shoulder the shaking stopped. I got out to inspect the tires and they were all fine. I immediately called my mechanic and he told me this used to be a common problem with Ford trucks a while ago and he heard that it had started to happen again.

The truck began shaking uncontrollably at approximately 70mph.. fortunately I was in the right lane, and traffic wasn-??t very busy, and I was able to get the truck off the side of the road without creating an accident.. I have owned the truck since it was new, and have not experienced any issue until now! The truck has just over 40,000 miles on it. Took truck to dealership to be inspected and they said everything looks good.. but they also said that the part that I needed was on back order. At the current time I-??m waiting on repairs to be made, but I am very uneasy about the safety of the vehicle now..

Truck is experiencing condition that is commonly referred to as the death wobble on the internet. Traveling at 50 plus miles an hour and hit a small bump in the road and the truck immediately begins to shake and vibrate uncontrollably. Only way to stop the shaking is to come to almost a complete stop. This is a very serious and dangerous condition. Imagine traveling down the highway at 60 miles an hour and having to come to almost a complete stop with other trucks and cars wizzing past you. Not to mention the car that has to take evasive action behind you to keep from running into your vehicle. This is a very real and serious defect with the Ford F250 that Ford needs to take immediate ownership and corrective action.

As the vehicle is driven, it'll suddenly shake so violently, I can barely keep it straight, and my wife can barely hold on to the steering wheel. This 1st happened July 2020, and we thought it was the poor condition of the road...but since, we have almost been bounced off the road and were very fortunate there was no on coming traffic, so many times, my wife will not drive the truck....and the passengers who've been with us when this has happened, will not ride again in the vehicle....never were we driving over 65 when any of these incidents happen...typically around 50-55.....I originally thought the truck had rough suspension, because any time the road conditions were not perfect, this would happen in small increments, I thought it was the suspensions...but since July 2020, we have to try to pull the truck over (which is difficult as we have little if any control of the steering ) and come to a complete stop, to get control of the truck....

The backup camera, located in the tailgate, is so distorted it is almost useless. In certain lighting, day and night, it is useless. The camera that looks into the truck bed - located at the top/back of the cab - is incredibly clear and visible. The problem lies in the backup camera. I have nearly hit multiple things due to the lack of visibility. Fortunately, I have not hit anything/had an accident. But the camera, along with the front camera (which is not as critical), is clearly faulty. The image is incredibly blurry. I have tried cleaning it, all research indicates the camera is not sealed well and moisture gets inside the camera. Replacing it with an OEM part does not solve the issue. Please recall these cameras before someone gets hurt.

When driving and you go over a slight bump in the road it makes your truck shake tremendously. I do not know if it is the suspension trying to over-correct it self but it is bad. When looking this issue up I have seen it called the Ford F250 "death wobble". I have yet to have this happen at speeds less than 50mph so this could possibly lead to a serious accident. I have made a video which I can submit for evidence (it is a MP4 file format). There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to when it will happen or how long it last.

I was traveling down the highway at high speeds and my vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. I had to pull over to the side of the road and slow down for it to stop. On a separate occasion, the same thing happened...the steering wheel was shaking almost like the vehicle was seizing up.

While driving down the interstate, traveling at 65 MPH, after traversing a moderate bump in the road, the steering wheel started violently shaking. The only way to get the shaking to stop was to slow down to 40 MPH, 25 MPH below the posted speed limit. The inability to control the vehicle and the unsafe requirement to slow on a busy highway is a serious safety concern. This situation is wide lol y known as the Death Wobble.

My Ford F-250 2019 Shakes violently on random occasions when I am driving over 50 mph. No warning laps or messages show up prior. This incident has happened multiple times already. It happens when i'm driving on the highway. On this more recent incident I was on the highway with my pregnant wife and my 6 year old son and the vehicle started shaking violently and I nearly lost control for a moment on a busy highway in Miami FL. I was able to gain control and pull off safely onto the emergency lane. There are no recalls for this malfunction. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. This incident could have caused the life of my family and many others on this highway if i wouldnt have been able to gain control.

While driving at highway speed (60-65MPH) on interstate highway, upon entering upon a bridge or overpass (and crossing over a small bump at the beginning of same), the front-end began to shake violently; said violent shaking only stopped after brakes were slammed on and speed was reduced to a crawl. This happened three times on a recent trip. Vehicle has been properly maintained, last serviced at Ford Dealer on 7/14/21. I experienced "death wobble" as described in hundreds of other complaints. Fortunately, I grip the wheel tightly and did not run off the road. This condition (apparently well-known to Ford) put my life and my wife's life in danger, as well as that of anyone driving behind me. Why hasn't NHTSA recalled this vehicle when this exact problem has been documented hundreds of times?

Experienced extreme steering wheel oscillation at 45 mph on freeway on-ramp. Oscillation was so extreme I had to pull off freeway and stop to regain normal steering control. Went to Ford dealership and they informed me I experienced the -??Death Wobble -?? That was the first time I had heard of the Death Wobble. Dealer replaced front steering dampener and recommended other linkage components be replaced. Steering Stabilizer was replaced under warranty 20NO4. Truck had 17429 miles. So after doing research on this I have found that it is a common problem from 2005-2019 Ford trucks and there has been no recall. This is a huge safety problem. Talk to a dealer service manger and explain you had extreme steering wheel oscillation on your Ford truck and they will say you have the -??Death Wobble -??. Not sure what would happen while towing a 10,000 lbs fifth wheel rv.
