Vehicle begins violently shaking as described as the Death Wobble at highway speeds in excess of 50mph, after crossing onto uneven pavement, or driving through a rough patch in roadway, or bridge expansion joint. Steering wheel vibrates back and forth and steering becomes unresponsive and speed must be decreased immediately to regain control of the vehicle.

I was driving my Ford F-250 SuperDuty at 65 mpg on a 4 lane hwy (posted speed 65) when the truck suddenly, without warning, shaking and bouncing violently. The jostling was so violent my head hit the top of the cab and my glasses were bouncing on my face. The steering wheel was shaking but I was able to get to the side of the road and stop. It was the worst, most violent shaking I have ever experienced. I thought my wheels were coming off. My head, neck, and back are sore today from the incident. The truck gave no warning, no warning lights, sounds, etc. to indicate what was about to happen. It shook so hard my vision was doubled. do NOT know what failed or malfunctioned. It appeared to be wheels, steering, suspension? *This put me at grave risk of losing control, overturning, rolling and getting killed. It put others on the highway at risk because I could have caused them to wreck by the actions of my uncontrollable truck. I could have killed myself and others on the highway. have not had the opportunity to take this back to a dealer yet. one has inspected it yet. warning lights, no sounds, no indication of impending problem. Ford should NOT allow this to happen on ANY vehicle. This is a death trap and I am afraid to continue driving it. DEATH TRAP!

While driving from Texarkana Texas to Cleveland Texas today, I experienced three cases of the -??Death Wobble-?? on my 2019 F250 Super Duty truck. This truck has only 22,800 miles on it and has no off road miles on it. This problem occurred when encountering only minor bumps in the road. This is a serious problem for several years now. I also had this problem with a new 2017 model with only 26,000 miles on it. These trucks are not safe to drive and accidents or even deaths may occur if Ford doesn-??t fix their defective design.

On 8 November 2021 and again on 9 November 2021, I experienced what two Ford service dept's called the "Death Wobble". The first occurred under what was potentially lethal circumstances; twisty mountain roads on I-40W in NC. The front end began shaking violently and uncontrollably, with my vehicle surrounded by moving tractor trailer trucks. I managed to come to a violent stop on the shoulder of I-40 without a collision. The second occurred at the I-555/I-270 merge in Missouri. Same circumstances: violent shaking. I braked harshly and at approx 8mph the shaking went away. T took it to a mechanic who crawled underneath and could see nothing amiss. I then drove to the Ford dealer in Kirkwood, MO. The service chief pronounced it the "Death Wobble" but couldn't get me in for two weeks. I limped to Hermann, MO Ford dealer. The service manager pronounced it the "Death Wobble" and took it into the shop immediately. I had the vehicle back by 1000 the next morning, fixed-no charge. He said Ford had an extended warranty out on that/those parts. the steering stabilizer shock(s). It was unclear to me if this was a pair of shocks. I have no receipt because the service dept said it was a warranty issue and the dealership had to submit it to Ford.

Driving on smooth highway at 65mph experienced violent shaking of front suspension almost losing control of vehicle. Had to rapidly decelerate and move shoulder before it would stop shaking. This is a known problem but no recall as yet. Nickname is -??Death Wobble-??. Afraid to drive this vehicle. I understand that action lawsuits so far have not forced Ford to recall these vehicles.

This vehicle suffers from the Ford death wobble on the freeway when driving with the flow of traffic. We were traveling south on I-5 and hit some bumps on the road which began the process of the whole truck shaking. The steering wheel went out of control and the whole body was visibly shaking. There were no accidents but we had to pull off the freeway and stop the vehicle. I have a video of the incident if needed.
