F250, 6.7L diesel, 4WD, crew cab, 25,000 miles. Vehicle control lost when traversing expansion joints (especially at bridge/road interface) at highway speeds (~70mph). The steering wheel wobbles erratically and the truck uncontrollably jumps laterally and at a slight angle, up to the width of an entire lane. Fortunately, there has been no vehicle (or structure) adjacent to the truck; I would have hit it! in all cases the vehicle was lightly loaded with approximately 200-400 lbs of pax/gear. All equipment is 'factory' and unmodified. All maintenance has been performed by Ford dealers (only fluid/filter changes and tire rotation thusfar).

I entered IH10 East bound from johns road in boerne tx. At about the time I reached highway speed I hit a bump / pot hole on the road. After impact the truck immediately and violently started to shake and the steering wheel was shaking too. The whole truck started to shake, only stopping after slowing the truck to below 50mph. Now the steering wheel is not centered and there is a constant vibration while driving. The truck feels loose while driving and wanders after hinting small bumps in the road. The truck has approx. 16,700 miles on it. Purchased in April of 2019 new. F250 4X4 crew cab.

My truck had the death wobble while going down the freeway. At 72 I hit a road bump and the truck shook uncontrollable and very scary. The truck would only stop shaking if I let off the gas and slowed down to 45. Dealer replaced damper assembly.

Brand new 2019 F250 has an oscillating steering wheel sometimes at highway speeds. Additionally, if a bump or hole in the roadway is hit, the vehicle becomes almost uncontrollable. Steering appears to be too loose. Vehicle pulls to the right.

- Midland, TX, USA

Driving at 70 mph and went over an expansion joint on a highway overpass. Uncontrollable shake in the steering wheel started. Super difficult to control went across three lanes of morning rush hour traffic and back before I could get the truck stopped.

I was driving on the interstate at 75 mph (posted speed limit in Texas), crossed onto a bridge and the entire front end began to violently shake and bounce. The steering wheel was turning back and forth. The only way I could gain control of the truck was to slow down and move over to the right shoulder and almost stop. This was almost 10 days ago on a Saturday. I took it to the dealership on the following Monday. Coincidentially, there was another man there with a 2018 F250 with the same issue. My truck is a 2019 and has 16,600 miles on it. I've taken it to the dealership and the tech told me that Ford has known about the issue for a long time. He specifically mentioned the degree of camber in the front end. They've ordered parts and he stated that he has personally repaired over a hundred trucks with this problem. He stated that he will "replace the parts and readjust the degree of camber back to where he likes it" and "that should fix the problem". tonight, Nov 10, 2019, as I'm driving to work, it happened again on level ground on an entrance ramp to the interstate at approximately 50 mph. I had to slow down to approx 25 mph to get the shaking and oscillations to stop.

Death wobble

- Kemp, TX, USA

While driving at 65 mph on the interstate, I drove over an expansion joint connected to an overpass. Suddenly my front tires started oscillating violently and I lost control of the vehicle. I was able to immediately apply the breaks and regained control after slowing to below 30mph and veering into the lane to my left. Luckily, there was not another vehicle in that position. The vehicle has just under 15K miles on it. I use it as a commuter to work via mostly highway roads. I currently feel very unsafe driving it above 60mph and so I'm unable to drive it to work until this situation is remedied.

Traveling at 65mph the front end started death wobble after hitting a small bump in the road way it got so bad that I thought the pickup was going to hit the guard rail after bring the vehicle to a complet stop on the interstate in traffic I finally stop it definitely got my attention that I had it happen five more times and I took the F250 to the shop

I have experienced the death wobble 3 times in a week. Front end violently shaking at 65 mph and had to slam on my brakes on the interstate almost caused a wreck.

- Dequincy, LA, USA

While operating vehicle under normal conditions, between 25 and 65 mph, the steering wheel will jerk and shake violently when crossing uneven pavement surfaces, such as expansion joints for bridges or overpasses, or potholes. The problem is noticeable on highways and side streets, and both straight and curved sections of road. On multiple occasions the only way to stop the shaking was to slow down below 20 mph, or come to a complete stop.

- Hillsborough, NC, USA

I hit a bumpy but normal patch on I-40 at about 65 mph. The truck started shaking violently and it felt as though a wheel was coming off. I lost control of the vehicle as it was extremely hard to steer. I thought I was entering a severe accident and was fearful for my life and that of my two daughters. I braked hard while surrounded by other vehicles and was able to pull over to the shoulder without a collision. I inspected the truck and did not see anything wrong. Had this happened in a slightly different circumstance such as navigating a turn on the highway it would have caused a wreck. I have looked online and it appears that this is happening a lot with these vehicles and nothing is being done about it!!! I guess people's lives just aren't worth fixing an expensive problem. Help

General driving at freeway speeds drove over highway overpass that had a slight bump. After vehicle suspension reacted to the bump, it went into a violent steering wheel shake that would not stop until the truck was pulled to the side of the road and stopped. Violent shake also happens when applying the brakes from higher speeds to a stop at random times. The recent occurrence happened while ramping onto a highway and applying brakes to negotiate a curve. Truck was checked by dealership recently and stabilizer was replaced but shake still exists at times, however a violent episode has not occurred yet again

My vehicle is a 2019 F250 Super Duty powerstroke diesel crew cab short bed. I was traveling down the highway at approximately 60 miles an hour. I encountered a small bump in the road that led to a violent shaking of the front end suspension. I thought perhaps a lug nut broke off allowing one of the wheels to wobble. I took my foot off the excelerator and lightly tapped my brakes in an effort to slow the vehicle down and pull off to the side of the road. I traveled approximately 100 yards before the violent shaking stopped and I was able to pull off to the side of the road inspect my tires. To my surprise the tires we're not missing any lugnuts and they seemed tight, I crawled underneath to see if anything had broken to my surprise nothing was broken. This happened once before for a much shorter distance and I brought it to Ford immediately. They stated nothing was found wrong with the vehicle. I will be bring this vehicle back to Ford and they better have a better answer thus time!!!

Experiencing death wobble at 65mph, excessive vibrating and shocks. Vehicle wants to bump of the road if not being steered with two hands. It is getting worse with every trip

- Independence, LA, USA

Going 70 mph down the highway I crossed a railroad crossing the truck started shaking so violently I thought the truck was going to break in half. I slowed down to almost a dead stop before I could regain control of the truck.

- Port Lavaca, TX, USA

While driving on the road, (about 60 mph), and I hit a bump, the whole front end started to shake violently. I had to slow down quickly to about 30 mph to get it to stop. The same thing happened twice more that day. I called my Ford dealer and they had me bring it down. The said that it sounded like the "death wobble". they replaced the steering damper and about two weeks later it started wobbling again. When I brought it in the first time it had less than 11,000 miles on it. Now it has less than 12,000 miles on it and it is doing it again. Fortunately, this has not happened while I was on a highway or it could have caused an accident. They are going to try again but everything that I have researched on this says that there is no fix and Ford will not do anything unless there is a recall. People are going to get seriously hurt or killed when this problem occurs.
