Sometime while the automatic level is engaged in drive the transmission stalls and then violently engage. Making a jerky motion. Steering wheel shakes a lot at 60mph on the free way.

- Escondido, CA, USA

While driving 60 mph on the freeway (posted speed limit 65mph) pulling a trailer loaded with 3000lbs of material (trailer rated for 7000lbs) that was secured with 5000lb tow strap I drove over a rough patch of concrete in the right lane. Truck felt like it was almost jumping to the left, steering wheel shaking violently, I completely lost control. The truck veered left drastically and I crossed 3 lanes of the freeway and slammed into the median wall at approximately 20 mph. More than $15,000 in damage to the vehicle. It is a miracle no one was injured.

My 2019 F-250 has the "death wobble". it has recurred twice, both times with a vengeance while traveling through orlando. Fortunately, it wasn't raining & nobody was close behind because you have to immediately slow down to below 45mph or you might lose control. Have complained to Ford and request a buy back, but was refused. I then asked for extended warranty, but the only additional warranty they offered me is for the engine. Obviously, they know they have a serious problem. Please help!

Truck begins to violently shake at 60mph if a small bump is hit on the freeway. Once I brake and reduce speed, approx 10-15mph, it goes away.

- Bexley, OH, USA

My 2019 F250 has 21,000 miles. I purchased it used, and have had it for a few months. In 2 family trips on the interstate at highway speeds- I have experienced the 'death wobble' 4 times. It most recently happened twice in 50 miles of interstate driving. At a speed of 70 mph, which is the posted speed limit. While driving over an expansion joint near a bridge overpass, which is a mild bump, the entire front end of the truck will shake violently. The steering wheel shakes violently. The cab shakes violently. Everything. Back and forth laterally. It's extremely loud. The truck is barely able to be controlled. I have to turn on the emergency flashers, get to the emergency lane as soon as I can, which is extremely difficult while in a panic situation. After coming to a complete stop, and accelerating again, does the wobble stop. If you're able to drive over the expansion joint and hit it with both tires at the same time, nothing happens. It's only when the joint is contacted at an angle. When one tire hits, then the next, is what creates the death wobble. The only way to prevent this from happening is driving at 55mph, which is not only dangerous but potentially illegal.

Hit a bump running 75 mph on a highway and experienced the death wobble it forced me into oncoming traffic. It happened again in less than 2 miles.

- Dublin, TX, USA

Vehicle steering wheel shakes when driving over rough roads or bumps. Commonly referred to the "death wobble". truck is difficult to control while the wobbling is going on. My research shows many complaints and very little action from Ford to remedy the problem. This problem is a legitimate safety concern. I believe that Ford should have a recall campaign to fix this problem. The problem is described as a defect linked to abnormal wear and/or loosening of the track bar bushing, damper bracket, ball joints, control arms, shocks and/or struts. Vehicle is currently being repaired by a private shop not the dealer.

I was driving on the highway when the front end of my truck began to violently shake including the steering wheel! I was going 65 mph and I could barley hold onto the steering wheel it was shaking so violently! both of my wrists are swollen and bruised as well as my right thumb. My nail on my right thumb is cracked and bruised as well as a result of holding onto the steering wheel as hard as I could. I immediately slowed down as soon as I could but I swerved into the other lane and then into a ditch. I lost control of the vehicle due to this violent shaking. This has happened multiple times to me, it seems to get worse each time! this truck is not safe and I want justice. There was another vehicle coming in the opposite direction, the highway I was on was a two lane highway. If he would have been 3 seconds closer I would have had a head on collision going 65 mph! the truck shakes so violently and it is terrifying!

- Ralls, TX, USA

Was speeding up to merge on the highway and the vehicle starting shake and vibrate violently. I slowed way down and pulled off on the shoulder, turned on my hazards and exited the truck. I did a visual inspection all around the truck and nothing appeared broken or damaged. I got back in and merged back on the highway and increased speed. The shaking and vibration was gone. I drove it the next day at highway speeds and there was no issues. Upon researching this issue, I found this was a common problem among Ford Super Duty owners and its called the "Ford death wobble". I contacted the Ford customer care line and filed a complaint with Ford. I will be contacting my local dealership too.

I was traveling on a county road and my speed was approximately 60mph. I hit a rough spot in the road prior to crossing a bridge. The vehicle started shaking uncontrollably and would not stop until I came to a dead stop. I almost hit the guard rail and the vehicle behind me almost rear-ended me. I have researched what happened and I have discovered this is referred to as a "death wobble" in this particular series of vehicles. I am in the process of paying to try and get this fixed but no one promises a fix. This needs to be corrected by Ford Motor Co. I called them to lodge a complaint and they said that they had never heard of that and basically hung up on me. I'm also now aware of a class action lawsuit pending on this matter. How do I involve myself in that matter? this is a very dangerous situation, especially if circumstances exist where you have traffic on both sides and following the flow of traffic. It would be real hard to stay off one of the vehicles at your sides or keep from causing a pile-up behind you.

Front end "death wobble" 2019 F250 with 17000 miles. While driving on 2 lane road, slight left curve in the road at approx 55 mph, hit a frost heavy bump. Caused uncontrollable side to side wobble of front end and steering wheel. Worse when I applied the brakes. Stopped once below 40 mph. This has happened 2 times in the last week. Went to Ford today. They replaced the steering stabilizer. I'm skeptical that this will fix the problem. Front tires are at 5/32 factory Goodyear. With even wear. I will replace tires next. These events could easily have resulted in a significant accident. It seems it is a combination of cheap/worn parts and poor quality tires.

Going down the highway the other about 75 hit a bump and the steering started shaking will bad. Had to slow way down to get control. Found out later they call it the death wobble.

- Abilene, TX, USA

The steering wheel has gone into a violent death wobble at least a half dozen times while driving on both two and four lane highways. I've nearly lost control of the vehicle the most recent time this happened. The truck only has about 17000 miles on it and is less than a year since I purchased it brand new.

- Fayetteville, NC, USA

I was driving 70 mph down the highway. I went over an area that had a patch in the road and as soon as I hit that bump my truck felt like I was gonna loose control. I almost went into another lane but thankfully I had both hands on the steering wheel. The truck just vibrated so hard. I have noticed that it tends to do that on bumps.

- Brusly, LA, USA

The truck has been in the repair shop many many times Ford could not repair it. It has death wobble and bump steer. It's very dangerous

- Oakdale, NY, USA

Driving at interstate speeds, I hit a small bump in the road and the steering wheel began vibrating and turning back and forth at a high rate of speed. The front of the vehicle was shaking violently and I was forced to slow down to under 40 mph to get the vehicle back under control. I almost caused a wreck behind me from slowing down so quickly. This has now happened 3 times violently. First at less than 10,000 miles, the second at 42,000 miles and the last and most violently at 45,000 miles. I contacted the dealership, and they informed me that there was no recall, and that it was probably uneven tire wear or improper air pressure in my tires. It would not be covered by my warranty, even though I paid for the extended 100K mile platinum warranty. I have now replaced the track bar with an aftermarket version designed to correct the "death wobble" issue, and the problem has stopped.
