Center lane of interstate at 70mph when crossing a bridge expansion joint the steering wheel began shaking uncontrollably and I was unable to steer until slowing to 30mph. This has happened 2X in 2 days. Dealership says they will replace steering damper but that problem will return. Force Ford to correct this issue before someone dies.

I was driving on the interstate at 75 mph when I hit a bump in the road. The front end of my truck started to shake violently and steering was terribly impaired. I had to pull off the highway and slow to 30mph to get control of the vehicle.my Ford truck has only 22,000 miles. My 2012 Ford truck did the same thing at 100,000 miles.

My F250 is experiencing what they call the death wobble. I have taken it to 2 different Ford dealers only to be told they have no fix for it and basically sent me on my way with it. No offer for a rental vehicle or anything. I was driving on I20/59 between exit 8 and 68 when it has occurred 3 times so far. Almost lost control of the vehicle to the point my passenger refused to ride again. I hit a bump in the road and the vehicle started violently shaking all over the road and I could not get it out of this until I got down to 45 mph. We have had to cancel our vacation for christmas because we are scared of the vehicle. Paid a lot of money for this truck to be worried about stuff like this.

Traveling the speed limit on the highway. 75 mph. Road conditions smooth pavement, clear, dry, night. Truck began to shake violently and veered into left lane. Had to slow down to get shaking to stop. If there had been a car in the left lane we would have collided.

My Ford has 14300 miles on it. Driving on the highway on 12-7-19 around 55 -65mph, the vehicle started shaking violently. I could not control the steering wheel. The shaking caused passengers coffee cups to slosh out of their cups it was so violent. This occurred on us hwy 79 near hutto Texas around 8 pm in the evening.

- Burnet, TX, USA

Upon reaching highway speeds(approximately 55-75mph) the front end began to violently shake. This issue started as mere off tracking of the front end, the truck would steer itself. This ended up progressing into such a violent shake that it drove itself off the road. I had no control over the vehicle, and steering control is gone. I wound up in a ditch on my fourth experience with this violent shake.

I have had a very dangerous vibration that occurs in the front end of a vehicle. When my 2019 F250 has experiences death wobble, the entire steering system rapidly turns back and forth, making controlling the vehicle very hard. It normally accuses at speeds above 45 mph to 80 mph. The truck now has 12,000 miles on it and it started at around 9,000 miles.

- Castle Rock, CO, USA

Driving down the highway at 75 mph I hit a bump in the road and the front end started wobbling uncontrollably. I had to pull off to the side of the road and slow to 30mph until it stopped wobbling.

I have experienced "death wobble" multiple times. It happens when going above 50 mph on the highway. Usually near a bridge or overpass. The vehicle steering becomes impossible to control and the steering wheel and the truck begin shaking violently. The first time it happened was at 6100 miles on an interstate while the truck was going 70 mph. The weather conditions were dry, no wind or rain, and the road condition was smooth. When it first happened, it surprised me and I did not know what was happening and the steering could not be controlled. My truck veered into oncoming traffic towards an 18 wheeler. I managed to steer out of their way on to the median and slow down to about 20 mph and the shaking stopped. The second time was a few hundred miles later when it happened again on a highway while I was going 65 mph. I took the truck into bob utter Ford in sherman Texas and the service advisor laughed at me and told me I had "death wobble". he wrote my name in a spiral notebook and then told me there is no fix for it. He stated Ford has no fix at this time but that my complaint was in writing and if something comes from Ford, he will give me a call. So I asked what am I supposed to do in the meantime. He stated, do not drive over 45 mph until Ford comes up with a solution. They know it is a problem and they don't call it death wobble, they call it steering wobble and they aren't real good at coming up with a fix yet. The vehicle currently has 8100 miles on it and I have experienced "death wobble" again today while transporting my children to school. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when a person or an entire family for that matter is killed due to a faulty steering mechanism on this truck. Please help us Ford F250 truck drivers that have been unfortunate enough to purchase a truck that is a ticking time bomb for us.

2019 F250, approx. 13K miles. Travelling straight on highway 60-65 mph and truck entered into the well known "death wobble" or rapid, rhythmic, dangerous oscillation of the front tires causing loss of steering control. Had to reduce speed to 10-15 mph to regain control. This has happened 2 times within 2 consecutive times of driving on the freeway in the same week. Took it into the dealer and they test drove it and confirmed "death wobble". the part (steering dampener) they automatically prescribe (tsb 19-2274) to fix this is on back order 4-6 weeks and we were told "no loaner" and bring the truck back when the part is in. We said "so, we are supposed to drive our family around in a truck that is basically new with a death wobble"" to which the service manager responded "yeah, I know, crazy isn't it"". we already know that tsb 19-2274 is a band aid and not a real solution to the problem. Most who get tsb 19-2274 done are back within a few thousand miles or sooner because death wobble has returned, because the root of the problem has not been fixed. We have a video of our loose tie rod ends clunking and lifting when the steering wheel is moved left and right. We told the service manager about these loose parts - nothing was looked at or recommended to be done regarding these loose parts. We have investigated this problem extensively online and it seems to be happening in epidemic proportions in 2017-2019 models. Most "victims" of this problem end up in an endless cycle of trips to the dealership with continuing dangerous death wobble until their warranty is run out. The people who seem to have real success in permanent solutions go aftermarket, rebuilding the front end suspension at their own expense on their brand new trucks. This is criminal negligence. We have a crippled $50K truck - cannot even drive it on the highway! recall needed!!!!

Purchased a 2019 Ford F250 Super Duty, super crew cab, four wheel drive truck. Drove great until 21K miles. The notorious "death wobble" common to these trucks has started. Driving I-25 last night, truck shook violently after driving over a bridge at 75 mph with loss of any control. Immediately let up on the throttle and allowed the truck to slow under 50 mph and the wobble corrected. Further investigation revealed nothing out of the ordinary with ball joints, suspension, etc. I will be going to the dealership to have this issue corrected. A relatively new truck with 20K miles should be just breaking in, not broken. A serious safety issue that is going to kill people if not rectified.

Purchased this 2019 F250 3/4 ton heavy duty long box in May. It has had the death wobble 4 times now, three times into the dealership. This has happened on dry smooth pavement going at 65 mph or better, once towing a living quarters horse trailer on icy roads. The dealer now has the truck for an "undetermined" time as they don't know what to do with it. I have listened to and read a lot of youtube and threads that this S a mojor problem and Ford has not issued a recall. I wonder how many people have to be killed or injured before something is don. They issue a recall on a tail gate or seat problem but not on something as serious as thee front end suddenly becoming so dangerous as the "death wobble" and bouncing all over the road without being able to control it......... why Ford the dealer installed aftermarket stabilizers, dind't help, then Ford product stabilizers and it still didn't help, now it's in the shop till who knows when. I am terrified to drive it for fear of when it might happen again.

Driving the truck at approximately 55 mph. We hit a bump in the road and the truck began shaking violently in the front end. I slowed the truck to a stop, waited a minute and began driving, the shaking was gone and did not return. We did not hit any other bumps before we got home.

While driving with my family after we just purchased our new F250 Super Duty we almost hit the car next to us and went in to a ditch. I was driving on the interstate at a speed of around 65 mph and all of a sudden the entire truck was violently shaking down the road and I could not maintain the truck in my own lane almost causing a multi car accident. I did not know what to do and had to call family members to come pick up my family which was 2 hours away from our home because they were crying and scared to ride in our new truck we just purchased. I thought maybe something was loose so I looked under the truck and made sure all lug nuts were tight whle on the side of the road for about an hour. Turns out after research this is a known problem!!. I want this repaired by a dealership but do not know what the next steps are as of now this is obviously unsafe and could get someone seriously injured or killed.

When driving the front wheels shake when I hit bumps

- Benton, LA, USA

At approximately 60mph, the front end started shaking and truck became underivable. The common term for this is 'death wobble' and it has been reported to the dealership. I've had the same issues 5-6 times over the last 3 weeks.

- Madisonville, LA, USA

Uncontrollalbe wobble at high speeds when hitting bumps on overpasses, or very rough spots in the roadway, or bridge crossings. This has occured to me four times at different locations, & at speeds ranging from 60mph - 80mph. Each time was a very hair raising situation to say the least. Also each time while trying to get the vehicle under control you had to slow down as soon as possible to get it to stop the severe wobble, & when I say severe wobble it felt like the front tires were going to come out from underneath the truck. Not only does this put me in danger, but it puts everyone else in danger that is around me at the time this occurs. I live in an area that in the winter time we can see a lot of slick roadways, & I don't know how I'm going to be able to control this if it happens to me in these conditions. I purchased this vehicle under good faith from the dealership to be a sound vehicle, how can I even put my family or friends in it when I know it might get them harmed or even killed if this occurs.
