Death wobble that others have described. I have 4300 highway miles on my vehicle. Common issue on forum threads that I have read among Super Duty owners. Terrifying wobble at 50 mph, almost ended up in a ditch. Was able to regain control when speed was slowed to 25.

While driving highway speeds on a paved surface, vehicle shakes violently after hitting a bump. The vehicle goes into what is known as a "death wobble" and requires the vehicle to quickly slow down in order to regain control of the vehicle. After some research, this is a systemic problem that has not been addressed since the first reports of this violent and potentially deadly shaking since 2005. This issue causes the unwanted use of the vehicle and safety is jeopardized. If it is possible to return the vehicle,

Earlier today I experienced a loss of control at highway speeds while driving my 2019 F-250 fx-4. internet research this evening made me aware of the 'death wobble' that has been reported to your Agency. The issue was resolved by quick deceleration - I actually pulled into the median and expected to see one of the wheels about to come off. I will follow up with Ford but suspect that they are well aware of the problem and haven't developed a satisfactory solution.

Speeds at 70 mph and truck hits rough section of pavement causes the whole front of the truck to seem like its coming apart. A few times it's caused loss of control

- Maplesville, AL, USA

A few times now my F250 has gone into a death wobble while traveling approximately 70 mph on the highway. It takes all my strength to keep the truck in control and come to almost a complete stop, for the shaking to cease. Dampener was replaced once, and the same problem occurs. It is in the shop again and now waiting a week with no answer. I will not put my family in this truck as it is too unsafe and unpredictable. We all need Ford to fix the problem.

The truck has the "death wobble". driving 55 or above is dangerous if you hit a bump, the truck starts to violently shake and must be brought to a complete stop in order to regain control. I've owned the truck for less than 45 days and tomorrow will be the second time it's been to the dealership for this issue.

Vehicle has the 'death wobble'. uncontrollable, violent front end shaking. Almost lost control of vehicle at 65mph on major highway.

- Waxahachie, TX, USA

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.

At approximately 7 months after purchase, the truck started experiencing a minor "shutter" that seemed random. It worsened at speeds around 70mph & felt like driving over rough pavement. It was not constant. When encountered, it could be corrected by reduction in speed. The frequency & intensity of occurence increased to the point that in one day it happened 3 times (typical was 2-3 per week) and I almost lost control of the vehicle. I called my Ford salesman and he came and picked up my truck. The service department looked over it and said nothing was wrong and that I must have gotten some bad fuel. I drove it again. It happened again. I took it back to Ford and they let their diesel mechanic drive it home overnight. He couldn't reproduce the shuttering condition. I drove it for another month, experiencing multiple events. At my scheduled maintenance, I informed them that I was still having problems. A different mechanic drove it, experienced the truck shake when hitting a pot hole and said the steering damper was damaged and needing replacement. The replacement corrected the shaking for about 1 week at which point the shaking became violent with every bump. Pot holes, bridge transitions, rough pavement...all uneven surfaces cause an event, some of which could literally be deadly. I lost all control of my steering on 3 occasions and had to come to nearly a complete stop to regain control. I've taken it to Ford 4 time, concerned with my safety and the safety of anyone around me during an event. I have the death wobble and they can not fix it due to the steering parts being on back order. They already replaced once and it lasted a week. The brand new 2019 truck is unsafe to drive and no one can fix it. They indicated they're waiting on a recall or bulletin to tell them what to do. In the meantime I have a $70K truck I can't drive. It will get someone killed.

After putting 8,707 miles on my new 2019 F-250 Super Duty FX4 without incident, the front suspension has begun shaking violently when passing over highway expansion joints and/or bumps in the road surface at highway speeds. This has happened twice so far, both times while travelling between 65 to 70 mph in a straight sections of highway; once over a bump in the roadway, once over an expansion joint. The truck is impossible to control once the front suspension begins shaking violently, and only stops shaking after braking to a much lower speed. Luckily, in both instances other vehicles on the road were able to avoid my truck as it drifted across lanes of traffic. In both instances, the only control I had was to brake. The service department representative at the local Ford dealership told me that Ford has known about the "death shake" issue in F-250 and F-350 four wheel drive trucks for several years, and I was advised to buy a 3.5 inch leveling kit, and dual steering stabilizer kits at my own expense, because the factory fix of replacing the defective Ford steering dampener is not a permanent solution.
