Travelling approximately 70mph on the interstate, I crossed a small bump in the interstate which caused the truck to start shaking violently, I tried to control the truck but was losing control at highway speed. I then hit the brakes to decelerate the truck and it seemed like the braking system was not functioning as it needed to. The shaking and vibration did not stop until I was under 35mph I had to get into the left emergency lane to avoid causing an accident. I sat there for a few moments to gather my self up got out of my truck checked all 4 tires to verify none were flat and proceeded to drive at approximately 50mph back to my residence, where I parked my truck until I delivered it to the dealership on Monday morning to asses the truck and allow them the oppertunity to make nessecary repairs. This is the second time this has happened to this particular truck. The first scenario was pulling a camper on the interstate approximately 70mph and I was able to get it to the right shoulder and regain control at approximately 35mph. It went to the dealership and they replaced a steering dampener and checked all systems for proper function. Apparently the problem was not addressed correctly but was told that it could be multiple factors causing the "death wobble" as the dealership called it. They told me there was no correct solution but more of a trial and error fix.

I had a 2006 F250 Super Duty with only 120K miles on it that was a diesel that had the death wobble. Ford's fix for it was to send me a letter saying to slow down and mash on the brakes. I finally sold that because it also had major engine problems as well for the entire life of the truck. I bought a 6.2L 2019 F250 new because I wanted a reliable vehicle to travel across states with my family and dog. Just happened to me 3 days ago with everyone in the truck and it was much more violent. Luckily I had a place to pull over on a two lane road and did not get in head on. Pretty upset with Ford as they knowingly sell these trucks with existing issues that are dangerous. Truck shakes violently out of control and places the people inside in a very dangerous position. There is nothing that can me done to stop the shaking in the front end. This is known to many as the death wobble and should dealt with. This truck was moving at speed of 60mph on a flat, straight, smooth road.

While driving on I-90 in Ohio at approximately 65mph, I struck a small pothole with the drivers side front tire. The truck began to shake violently. I bumped the brakes and the shaking got even worse and steering was difficult. I took the vehicle to the shoulder and had to come to a complete stop to get it to stop. I drove the truck afterwards approximately 700 miles home. I was careful to avoid bumps or holes, but bridge seams caused a similiar problem many times, although not as violent as the first time. Ford has a service notification that they will replace the steering dampener if you experience this problem, but it did not feel like a dampener problem. I'll allow them to do it, but suspect I'll have more issues.

At speeds above 55 miles an hour when I hit a small bump I would experience death wobble. The vehicle and steering wheel with shake violently and would not stop until I slowed below 30 miles per hour. Here is a link to a video of one of the many instances this happened. Ford did not fix this for over two months because they said it was fixed the first time and then the parts were backordered.

Death wobble when hitting bumps at highway speed. Truck has 8K miles on

- Baytown, TX, USA

Twice now when we have been on I75 in brandon, fl, we came over a rough patch of road at 60 or 65 mph and the truck began to shake violently making steering extremely difficult and horrifying. Both times we had to pull over across multiple lanes of traffic to the shoulder and come to complete stop. We thought we had lost the tread on a tire or had some other tire issue. We didn't. when we started again, the truck drove fine. It has also become slightly unresponsive going bumps on the highway previously but I hadn't correlated the events. I have now since finding out about the steering dampener issue. Our dealership in ft myers, fl will not fix it until 5/6/21.

The Ford death wobble. Was driving at 65 on I 5 over the altamont and lost control of steering had to hit brakes to slow to 45 to get vehicle back under control. Had several vehicles that had to slam on their brakes almost causing extreme accidents. This is the third time this is happened and it is getting worse and harder to control.

- Ceres, CA, USA

Experienced violent shaking of the vehicle on highway. This has happened 3 times at speeds over 50 mph. We believe this is what is commonly referred to as 'death wobble'. this is a very scary event. I am so surprised that the NHTSA has not forced Ford to do a recall on this issue. There are thousands of complaints on this issue.

- Arnold, CA, USA

Vehicle has a death wobble when I hid small pot holes in the road while travelling at around 70-75 mph. Seems to be getting worse. Today it was so severe I almost crashed into a concrete barrier. I let off the accelerator, braced both feet and it was all I could do to hold on to the steering wheel. The whole truck shook violently. Until I got it to stop.

- Paint Lick, KY, USA

Driving on the highway at speed of 70mph the vehicle hit a small bump which caused the entire vehicle to start to rattle violently. The vehicle continued to rattle uncontrollably until it was able to decelerate to a speed of approximately 25mph. Previous to this scary experience the vehicle would loose some control and feel when small bumps would bounce the suspension.

I was driving at 60 mph, when I hit a bump in the road, the steering wheel started shaking violently. Slowed down to pull off the road and the shaking stopped. Drove the rest of the way home without any vibration.

Third incident of violent shaking of steering wheel and entire truck while driving approximately 60-70 mph. All three occurrences happened on the highway after going over relatively small bumps in the road, perhaps 2-3 bumps, one right after the other. I was driving the vehicle during 2 of those incidences. My wife was driving during the most recent one yesterday (3/11/2021) while I was in the passenger seat. She no longer wants to drive the truck and does not want me driving it either. I have also had a handful of situations where it will begin just slightly and I was able to immediately slow down and it would go away. However, if there are multiple bumps it seems to happen with almost 100% predictability. I am a prior federal agent and have been trained for tactical driving at various speeds. With that said, the shaking and loss of control experienced on a roughly $75K vehicle that is around a year old is not only ridiculous from a product stand point, but also, and more importantly, in terms of passenger safety. Our children were with us on 2 of these occasions. This is not a simple rattling, or shaking. I have never experienced this in any other vehicle I have driven and it is a violent wobbling of the entire truck, not just the steering wheel. This is not an exaggeration and is a significant problem and also a safety issue for other vehicles nearby. In one incident the driver of another vehicle to my left was glancing over at me as I slowed down during the violent shaking back and forth. The driver also had a very concerned look and expression of panic, undoubtedly wondering why a new truck would be wobbling uncontrollably at high speed down a freeway. Trucks in particular should be able to handle bumps in the road and are generally considered to be more rugged than other vehicles. The fact that the problem seizes after stopping the vehicle is also puzzling.

Unstable driving at 50 mph after small road unevenness. (death wobble) almost hit a vehicle while driving on highway 52 in puerto rico.

Have an appointment at the dealer on March 08, 2021. Dealer informed, upfront, that there is no permanent solution for the so call death wobble unless Ford issues a re-call and provides it.

While driving on interstate after hitting a bump in the road the steering starts to shake violently making vehicle hard to hold in the road. I had to try to get over into slow lane to slow vehicle down so it would stop shaking. I guess this is known as the Ford death walk.
