The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. While traveling 80 mph on an overpass of a highway the vehicle suddenly started shaking and experienced the "death wobble". the vehicle shook violently for about a quarter of a mile while the contact struggled to maintain control of the vehicle. The contact tried shifting into neutral and braking to slow down. The contact was finally able to pull off the road to the shoulder. The vehicle did not stop shaking until it came to a complete stop. Corwin Ford nampa (5707 E gate blvd, nampa, id 83687, (208) 475-1110) stated that the contact should be able to drive over to the dealer. The contact refused to drive the vehicle and had it towed to the dealer using the Ford roadside assistance program. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

ON9/8 /20 I was driving on the expressway at 78 mph I hit a bump in the road and almost control of the truck due to a heavy vibration in the front end of the truck(wobbly). This will be the second time to the dealership for this problem. The first time I was told the shake was normal. Now it is so bad can't control it when it starts. I feel this truck is unsafe and need help to correct it by Ford.

The vehicle violently shimmy's and shakes and makes my hands leave the steering wheel while driving at freeway speeds and going over road bumps, bridge transitions, road deformities. The defect leads to difficult steering and intense shaking even when drivers are driving in normal conditions. This is triggered when the vehicle is traveling at speeds above 50 miles per hour and one of the tires hits a groove or bump in the road, this causes a violent shaking of the vehicle, which can only be controlled by a sudden reduction of speed, which almost caused a several car pile-up on the freeway by me reducing speeds from 70 mph to under 30 mph in the fast lane and not being able to get to a safe area. This has happened in the past but now it happened 4 times in less than 50 miles. My wife refuses T drive the vehicle.

- La Quinta, CA, USA

Experienced the first 'death wobble' in my F-250 with 18,000 miles while driving 70 mph down the freeway and ran over a bridge transition while making a slight turn to the left. Vibration continued until I slowed down to about 55mph. Took to dealership and they said everything was good. Happened again within 500 miles, this time driving straight down the freeway with cruise set at 75mph and hit a few small bumps in road. Extreme vibration felt in steering wheel until I slowed down to about 30mph. Took it back to dealership and they said the front tires failed their 'high road force test.' They replaced the two front tires. I'm afraid that was not the problem and it will happen again with possible deadly repercussions. How can two front tires that won't balance cause a severe lateral vibration in the steering system?

When braking at 60+mph results in extreme front end wobble. This has occurred every time we drive at 60+mph and brake. So multiple times. Manufacture was contacted but the parts were not available.

After 20,000 miles my truck started intermittently wobbling. It is termed "death wobble." Usually only happens at higher speeds (70 or better) and after hitting a "rough patch" in the road or bridge joints.the steering wheel shakes from side to side and the whole truck wobbles violently. After slowing down and hanging on for 30 seconds or so it stops and is then fine again.

Experiencing Ford F250 "death wobble." Not hitting any bumps or ruts before truck starts shaking. Only way to stop is take foot of accelerator and hit brake truck is two months old with 6,600 miles on odo. Started experiencing problem about 1 month ago. First two times happened about 45 mph, last time at 55mph. Service manager at tallahassee Ford says death wobble was on older trucks. Thinks is engine problem and does not know cause but first appointment available is 2 weeks out and I should continue to drive truck. Says cannot fix if they can't replicate. Very intermittent and I cannot replicate so unlikely they will. This is not an engine problem, is scary when happens, and feels like a very dangerous situation to me.

Have noticed my truck has been driving different, the steering has been feeling off. Well today I was going down interstate I-4 and went over a bump and my truck started shaking so violently that I thought I was going to crash into a wall. It did not do it once it did it 3 times. I could not control the truck. It was the scariest thing. So unsafe

Death wobble when driving down the road. This vehicle when entering onto the interstate and driving over an expansion joint while merging into traffic at 75-80mph (speed limit on interstate was 80mph), the vehicle started to shake violantly in the front steering wheel, almost like a tire came off. I had a vehicle in the passing lane beside me with a horse trailer on and it was bad enough he slowed down and pulled away from us as I did everything I could to slow it down and get it off to the side of the road, until it hit about 20 or 25mph and stopped shaking. I own jk Jeep, so I know what the Jeep death wobble feels like as I have had to repair it on my lifted Jeep, but this is a 2019 F250 with less than 45,000 miles on it and well, this should not be happening. This is extremely dangerous as I live in Wyoming & travel with this truck as a work vehicle and travel in the pacific nw, and what would have happened if it would have been in winter driving condition and snow and ice on the road. It would have been all over! when I contacted dealer service department they said to bring it in, but doubted they had any options as it is a known problem. Kind of concerning!

- Gillette, WY, USA

Driving down the highway at about 74 mph. Drove accross expansion joint on a bridge and truck immediately began shaking uncontrolably. Took all of my strength to hold the truck steady. Truck was pulling to the left and I had no control of the direction. Took my foot of the accelerator and gently applied breaks to slow down. Truck stopped shaking when I was almost to a full stop. I got out of the vehicle to check what happend and everything appeared to be fine. This was a very scary experience and I am definitely shaken up. I believe if my wife or daughter had been driving they would have not been able to control the vehicle with such violent shaking.

Experiencing jumpy steering, especially on uneven or rough roads. Went into a full and dangerous death wobble situation twice now. Been this way since new. Currently have 10,000 miles. Been back to sewer twice now and they are denying the issue.

- Little Elm, TX, USA

While driving around a slow radius in the highway at about 50mph I hit a rough spot in the road that caused violent shaking of the steering wheel, which most refer to as "death woble". this caused the front end to loose traction and scoot across the road. To overcome it I had to significantly slow down my rate of speed. My currently has 2857 miles on it. This has happened to lesser amounts previously.

- Skiatook, OK, USA

Truck has the death wobble goes into a violent shake very randomly with no warning have to apply heavy brakes to regain control. Steering wheel shakes very bad and the whole front end feels like it's going to come apart. Truck is very dangerous to drive.
