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!!!

I was driving on the interstate approximately 70 mph and hit a small bump in the road a the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably and the whole truck was shaking. I had to pull over and slow down befor it quit.

- Independence, LA, 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.

F250 will bounce uncontrollably when a bump, or minor change in grade happens at 65+ mph. Front end bounce will forced immediate slowdown and lack of control of the vehicle until speeds reach around 20 mph, then bouncing stops.

I was driving on the hwy at about 70mph. Truck transitioned from road to new road construction and truck immediately started experiencing tire wobble in both front wheels with steering wheel violently shaking and spinning left to right and vice versa. This happened right about 20000 miles on a 2019 Ford F-250 FX4. And since that initial incident it's been happening daily for almost 2 weeks. Finally at the dealership for repair steering damper? I hope that cures the problem. It wanted to report problem. Very dangerous situation and should be a recall and use a heavy duty stabilizer.

When driving at highway speeds, violent shaking happens after hitting bumps. The only way to regain control is to reduce speed. We have a fleet which includes 46 new F250's and F350's. were are experiencing this issue with 5 trucks so far. All issues are starting between 8000 and 15000 miles.

Our company vehicle (with 43K miles on it) steering wheel shakes and entire truck wobbles on the freeway. It is referred to online as the Ford death wobble. If Ford does not take responsibility as they should we need to know what needs to be done to fix this common Ford issue. This began happening in late August and has happened several times since.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. While driving approximately 70 mph over a bump in the road, the rear of the vehicle started to wobble uncontrollably. The contact slowed down, pulled off the road, and the wobbling stopped. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

Death wobble driving down the highway hits a bum and the steering wheel shakes out of your hands making it unsafe to drive, no control. Having to come to a stop when it quits.

So I have had an issue with the front end of my 2019 Ford since I bought it. I told them on April 26th that it seemed to be pulling and they checked the alignment and said everything was okay and within specs. I didn't have another problem until September when it got really bad and anytime I went over a uneven patch or a change in road material it would jerk me out of my lane. I took it to the quick lane service department in bakersfield on September 7th, they told me it was the drag link, that it had broken and they had replaced it. It drove okay for a few weeks and then on September 30th as I was going over a bridge my truck started to do the death wobble, my steering wheel was shaking and the front end of the truck was bouncing. I had to slow down to get the truck under control and I was only doing 45 originally. I took it to Ford and they said it was the steering damper and they replaced it and that should fix the problem. Well less then three weeks later its still doing it just not as sever. I called Ford and set up an appointment and explained it was happening again only to get my appointment changed due to a meeting and a promise that the service manager would call back. Never got the call and now im paying for a truck that is just sitting in my front yard because its unsafe to drive.

We were driving down the highway doing roughly 70-75 mph and hit a small bump in the road (almost like a double groove in the pavement). Immediately after we hit the bump, the entire truck began to shake violently almost to the point that it felt as if it was "floating" on the road. The first time it happened we thought we had blown a tire, so we reduced our speed and moved to the shoulder of the road. As it turns out, we had not; we checked the vehicle to see if any of the sensors indicated that anything was wrong. It appeared as if everything was okay so we went back to driving to work. The next day, the very same thing occurred and again, we pulled over. This time, we didn't get out to check the tires but we did run through our sensors but again, everything appeared fine. So, we slowly returned to driving. As soon as we got to work we immediately called the dealership and had them pick the truck up within the next couple of hours. As of right now, the truck is at the dealership. With what little research we have done, it appears that our truck has what is being called the "death wobble".

Truck experiences violent shaking of the steering wheel (death wobble) at highway speeds. This happens loaded or unloaded and with or without towing a trailer. Repairs were made but issue still present. Truck at dealer again for more repairs. This is a major safety issue and has caused my vehicle to be in two near accidents. My wife and kids will not ride in this vehicle.

- Laramie, WY, USA

21,997 miles, driving on highway at 62 mph. Hit a bump and experienced death wobble. Slowed to 20 mph before truck drove out of it. Previously owned a 2017 350 that did the same thing at 20K miles. Ford bought it back. Trusted that I would not have the problem again, so bought this 2019. This is dangerous and frustrating. I can't believe the NHTSA hasn't required Ford to fix this problem.

Steering has been slightly shaky over bumps at normal highway speed. Recently truck has began death wobble (steering oscillation) when hitting potholes, bridge joints, and road construction transitions.today in traffic at 50-55 mph, it was severe enough that it almost caused an accident. High traffic area and braking was slow due to traction loss during oscillation.
