At just over 20K miles on this truck that I purchased new about a year ago: Driving at speed around 70mph after crossing an overpass on a newer highway the front end suddenly and violently started to shake and steering was compromised. I was finally able to pull over to shoulder of this multi-lane highway and when going slow enough the problem disappeared. I checked the tires and undercarriage and found no damage and no warning lights from vehicle. TPMS system showed tire inflations between 59 and 65 psi on all four tires. I resumed driving and problem happened again about 10 miles further down the road. I pulled into the next rest area and did an internet search and found that this is a very well known problem with Ford superduty pickups known as the "death wobble", although other manufacturers have similar problems reported. I've since learned Ford even has a tech srvc bulletin out regarding this issue (tsb 18-2668). I went to the nearest Ford dealership and explained the problem. The dealer said they get 4 to 5 complaints a week like this. We talked in general terms until I mentioned I had found the reference to a death wobble. Upon hearing that the dealer said they could not bring it up, but now that I had mentioned it they were free to discuss the problem. They said Ford has a precise set of processes in place to deal with this problem and they must be followed in sequence. They said first step was to check tire inflation and they also said they should rotate tires. I mentioned that had been done at a different Ford dealer for an oil change about 1K miles earlier. They said it didn't matter so they went ahead with those procedures. They also said the part in the tsb was on national backorder. Problem re-occurred on drive home so problem was not fixed. Have another appt with local Ford dealer in 2 weeks, hopefully tsb parts are in by then.

Experienced violent steering oscillation while traveling straight at 75 mph while crossing a control joint at a highway overpass. The vehicle felt like it was going to shake to pieces and shook until it came to a complete stop. I had no control of the vehicles steering, only braking. I took it to the dealer and they replace the steering stabilizer. The vehicle is already exhibiting wobble after only a few thousand miles since the stabilizer was replaced. I am concerned that the steering and suspension components are not designed correctly or loose.

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.

- Golden, CO, USA

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

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.
