On February 29, 2020, at approximately 12:30 pm, I was driving on the freeway at approximately 60 mph when all of a sudden the front end started to shake and vibrate. It was very extreme and I had to slow down and then pull off the freeway. All the tires were fine, and the shaking did stop as I slowed down.

I own a 2019 Ford F-250 king ranch. My truck has less than 15K miles on it. While traveling on the highway at approximately 65 mph I hit a small bump on the freeway which caused my steering wheel to shake violently (known as the death wobble. I was forced to immediately slow down and pull over to the shoulder before I could regain control over my vehicle.

We going down a fairly steep grade on a state highway going 63 mph, pulling my gooseneck trailer with 10K lbs of poles. I was coming up to a curve and applied there brakes as we went into the corner and then the steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably. I had to hold as tightly as I could to make the curve and hit the brakes and slowed to about 30 mph then it stopped.

On multiple occasions at highway speed the truck has entered a "death wobble" after hitting a bump in the road. I've been able to recover and stop the wobble by letting off the gas and slowing to below 55 mph. The last one (yesterday 25feb20) nearly caused me to roll the truck with my daughter in the passenger seat.

While towing a 5th wheel trailer on the 10E bound we hit a rough patch of road. The truck and steering wheel began to shake violently to the point where I thought we had blown a tire. I was able to slow the truck down and at about 30mph the shaking stopped and then I pulled safely off the road. I exited the vehicle to investigate and there appeared to be nothing wrong with the truck. I called the Ford dealership and a service tech said "it sounds like death wobble". that was the first I had ever heard of death wobble. We were able to limp the truck home at 40mph and then it went straight to the dealership. They had the truck for 2 weeks because the part was on backorder. This is a ridiculous situation that should never happen and I can only hope never happens to anyone else.

While driving straight on a highway at approximately 55 mph my truck's steering wheel began to violently shake. It also felt as if the whole truck was shaking. I decreased my speed to approximately 30 mph and my truck quit shaking. This happened on 02/23/2020. This has happened 3 times since I have had my truck. One other time I was driving straight and the same thing happened. I was able to slow down and the truck quit shaking. The other time I was driving on a state highway and I was in a curve. The truck and steering wheel began to violently shake. I briefly lost control of the vehicle and went into the left lane. I slowed down and the shaking stopped. I was able to regain control of the vehicle. I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow morning on 02/24/2020. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic when my truck began to shake. After doing a little research, it seems that Ford has a problem with these vehicles and my truck seems to have a death wobble. I am the only owner of my truck and it has less than 7600 miles. My truck is fully stock with the 18 inch rims and stock tires.

I was driving my 2019 F-250 pickup on the interstate and as I crossed a bridge transition back to the highway that was fairly rough due to the bridge seam, the steering wheel and the whole truck began shaking violently to the point that I almost lost control. I had my cruise control set to 70mph. I immediately began slowing down and moving to the shoulder of the road. The violent shaking abated as I slowed below 30mph. I checked out the front suspension of the truck and there didn't appear to be anything amiss so I drove home at no more than 60mph and took the truck to the Ford dealer the next business day. When I described the symptoms to the dealer service representative he said, "sounds like the death wobble." I asked him what he meant and he indicated that Ford F-250S and F-350S seem to have a systemic issue that leads to the problem I described. And, he also indicated that Ford has a technical bulletin out to their dealers telling them what to repair when this malfunction arises. The dealer replaced the front stabilizer and another front end part and returned the truck to me. It appears to drive ok after the repair was effected. I did an internet search of the term "death wobble" and there are a large number of posts describing the exact same symptoms I describe above. This problem appears to be wide spread among late model Ford F-250S and F-350S. Had my "death wobble" incident occurred on a crowded highway or while towing a trailer, I fear it could have resulted in an accident.

Mid to high speeds if I hit any sort of bump or any sort of hole in the road the front end starts to vibrate severely and steering wheel vibrates and shakes and I have to immediately decelerate. It is exactly what I see other Ford users describing online as the death wobble.
