It is known on the internet as the "death wobble." While traveling around 70 mph in dry conditions on I-185, the truck hit a small bump in the road coming off a bridge. The truck shook violently until I pulled over. I had difficulty controlling the vehicle as I was being tossed about and had difficulty even holding onto the steering wheel. It happened again 10 miles later. The vehicle has less than 30,000 miles and is well maintained included front end alignments, brakes and tire rotations.

The steering began to wobble uncontrollably after hitting a small bump going around 60mph. Happened 3 times. Ford has attempted to fix it but it has not worked. I have researched the problem and it is known as the death wobble. Vehicle is uncontrollable until speed was reduced to around 15mph.

Purchased new, at 9,000 miles was traveling on interstate at 70mph and hit a bump in the road, causing truck to shake uncontrollably. I had to rapidly decrease speed and pull into grass median as to not get struck from behind by another vehicle. Ford service replaced factory steering damper with another oem factory steering damper under warranty and aligned the vehicle. Now at 21000 miles on the vehicle, on (8) separate occasions within a two week period, while traveling over 55mph the vehicle has started shaking uncontrollably again. The only way to control the vehicle is to reduce speed and stop. I have contacted Ford and the dealership. The dealership stated that Ford was aware of a problem with the factory oem steering parts, but has not yet provided guidance on a permanent fix. This issue with faulty oem parts will soon cause the loss of lives if a remedy is not found. I have a brand new truck I am too scared to drive or allow my family to ride in.

On no less than 10 occasions I have experienced what is referred to from Ford Motor Company as " steering wheel oscillation", also know as the "death wobble". I have had this vehicle serviced around 16K miles under warranty where the steering stabilizer or steering damper was replaced. At 38K miles I had the same vehicle inspected by the same Ford dealer for the same issue of death wobble. I was told they drove the vehicle for 25 miles and could not duplicate the issue and returned the vehicle to me without any repairs or recommendations made. The date was 1/28/21 in service and 2/2/21 it was returned to me. Since then I have driven approximately 800 miles with 1 "death wobble" event. These events are happening around 70 mph and has on several events led to me having minimal control of the vehicle until I slow down to around 45 mph which seems to be the point where the wobble stops. The dangers involved were/are the sudden onset of the wobble causing the vehicle to drift out of its' lane and into those lanes surrounding it. Also of danger is the sudden slowing down of the vehicle on an interstate highway causing those behind me to take immediate actions to avoid hitting me in the rearend of the truck or the trailer being towed.

2019 Ford F250 shakes violently six months after purchasing. Hitting bump on highway at highway speed, or even low speeds on street makes it difficulty to steer, and dangerous close calls. Frightening experience. Have called Ford, and after being on hold, or transferred several times, disconnected. No call back returned.

While driving at regulated highway speeds the truck will develop a violent, uncontrollable shaking when any "normal" roadway bump or hole is struck. The truck lunges violently and is difficulty to control. Rapid deceleration is required by removing foot from accelerator & gently applying brakes. The vehicle's speed must be reduced to less than an estimated 20mph and sometimes stopped before the violent shaking stops. Interstate travel is impossible as most roadway imperfections can cause this violent shaking while traveling at 70mph. Ford is aware of this condition and merely replaced a front steering stabilizer which only reduced the frequency of the problem and did not correct the issue. Ford technicians do not know how to fix and only cite that they will once again replace the steering stabilizer. The front steering components are seeing serious premature wear/damage to the violent shaking. This issue will cause fatalities...and most likely has if properly investigated due to loss of control associated with this aptly named "death wobble" this problem has now continually occurred over a period of 3 months on a new F250 which has 18, xxx miles. The problem began with only 13, xxx miles on the vehicle. Ford has not fixed the problem and sends customers back onto roads with a vehicle which is uncontrollable in normal driving conditions... and will result in losing control of the vehicle. This problem began in 2020 & continues to date. The first occurrence was at a speed of 50mph and continues to occur from 55 -70mph

I am filing a formal complaint regarding my 2019 Ford F250. I experienced what is being called the "death wobble" on a recent trip with my truck. While driving on the highway at approximately 78 mph, I hit a raised section of a culvert crossing which caused my steering to become unstable. The shaking of the steering wheel made the vehicle hard to control and caused us to hit the guard rail and cable barrier. I was in the left lane, and the barrier runs about 3 feet from the roadway. I have damage to the left side of my truck.

Two weeks ago, my truck started experiencing the notorious 'death wobble' which causes the entire truck to shake violently at high speeds. I received a recall notice in the mail and immediately called the dealership to schedule the repair. According to the dealership, the necessary part is on national back order for an unspecified period of time. Over the past 2 weeks, I have contacted the dealership on two more occasions to inquire about the part being delivered, and I've received the same response. It's still unknown as to when the part may be available. On 1/7/20, I contacted Ford directly hoping they could provide more specific details regarding the shipment of the part. The representative I spoke to informed me there are no alternatives other than continue checking in with my local dealership. Due to the unknown timeframe and potential danger, I asked the representative if Ford would reimburse me to install an aftermarket steering damper and labor for install. She told me that Ford would decline my request for reimbursement. The truck has 23,000 miles and is extremely dangerous to drive.

I was driving on the highway at 64 -66 mph when it went over an expansion joint in the road. The front end began to shake voilently and the steering wheel was shaking back and forth so hard I could barely gain control of the truck. I finally slowed down to about 20 mph and the shaking and sterring wheel shaking stopped. I was in the center lane and was almost rearended by 70 mile per hour traffic because of hitting the brakes so suddenly to try to maintain control of the truck. I had just bought the truck from the Ford dealership and I turned around and we went directly back and had them put it into the shop to determine what repairs that were needed. The truck is still at the dealership waiting to be inspected by their mechanic and necessary repairs determined.
