Death wobble. Violent shaking of the steering wheel. I have to slow almost a complete stop to get it to go away. This happens while driving at usually higher speeds from 50 mph to 80 mph when it hits a bump or a gap in the pavement.

Me and my wife were driving down the highway 70-80 mph, and the truck began to wobble side to side, and I thought it was a flat tire. We slowed down to make sure everything was ok, and nothing was wrong. I started back on the highway, and about 10 minutes later we hit a bump going roughly 75 mph, and the truck again started wobbling, I felt like I had no control of the vehicle. I just purchased this truck with 18,862 miles on it, and currently there is 19,541 miles on the odometer. I am going to take it to the dealership because I still have the manufacture warranty on the vehicle, but I feel very intimidated to drive it, and my wife refuses to drive the truck after this incident. All I have been able to see is that this is a result of the Ford "death wobble". I do not know what components of the vehicle are causing this, but it is very frustrating to spend the amount of money that we did, only to find it being a possible death trap.

Local highway driving the truck shake uncontrollably for about 5-10 minutes or until the truck slows to a near stop. The shake will also occur when hitting a pot hole, going over railroad tracks or braking. The first experience occurred at 17,000 miles and has since continued to a current 26,000 miles. After taking to Ford dealership service they have indicated that several trucks were experiencing the same and the part(s) were on back order. After approx. 30 days, the dampner came in, however, the defect has occurred several times since. Returned to Ford service and had a tire alignment done. To no avail, the same issue has occurred again. I have researched this defect and found the Ford community is calling this occurrence as the "death wobble".

While driving a 2019 Ford F250 XLT 4X4 down the highway at 75 mph and crossed a bridge and when the truck crossed the expansion joints the truck goes into a violent wobble, steering wheel shakes back and forth violently, like the vehicle is out of control. In order to correct it I had to slow down on the highway to 40 mph to get it to stop. This happened over 10 times traveling from Kansas to Texas. One time it happened with 18 wheelers traveling behind me and next to me and it forced me to exit the highway in order to avoid a serious incident.

Death wobble- freeway driving, uncontrollable, violent shaking, unresponsive steering and brake control. Ford is aware of the problem. I have had in the dealership to resolve the issue, and it was not fixed. I am in fear for my life and my family as well as other drivers on the road as the truck is uncontrollable when this happens. This happened three times on the freeway, and then another after it was taken in to be fixed.

Electronic tailgate opens up on its own while driving down the highway or while parked. I nearly lost my cargo due to this which would have caused an accident. Also, I injured my hand when the tailgate opened on its own and was pinched between the tail gate and trailer jack. Nothing bones were fractured but was really sore and had bruising and laceration. I found online how this was previously investigated in the 2017 Ford Super Duty but no recall was issued. I have a 2019 superduty and was injured and nearly caused an accident on different occasions. I have had the tailgate open on its own 12 times now and it is getting worse. I have not found any specific action/configuration that triggers this. It is totally random. Please help

Vehicle begins to shake violently & uncontrollable when going over a rough road surface. Feels like the tires are going to fall off. Dealer and manufacturer both have acted as if they know little about the huge problem. Dealer parts for repairs are always back ordered as most dealership will willingly admit that there is no fix for the problem as of today. I went to multiply dealerships to find honesty and they are hiding the fact that they have a major issue with the best selling truck they offer. This is your job to protect consumers from danger and this certainly is the most dangerous vehicle I have ever been a part of.

On 11-15-2019 while on hwy I-95 South, at about 72mph, my F250 started shaking violently at the front end after going over slightly rough patch of road. The shaking was so violent that I lost control of the vehicle for a few minutes. Vehicles near me had to avoid me until I was able to slow down to about 25mph. Had I been on a curvature, I would have surely crashed. On 11-17-2019, I experienced the death wobble again on at about the same speed, this time I was with a colleague on the passenger side, the shaking was very scary and worrying. This problem with the F-250 trucks is apparently not uncommon, we pulled over and did a google search, it appears that this problem is nothing new, but Ford has not made consumers aware of it, and continues to sell the vehicle with out informing the public. Do people have to die first "?" please help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

Our company vehicle (with 43K miles on it) steering wheel shakes and entire truck wobbles on the freeway. It is referred to online as the Ford death wobble. If Ford does not take responsibility as they should we need to know what needs to be done to fix this common Ford issue. This began happening in late August and has happened several times since.
