Death wobble.....after hitting bump in road steering wheels shakes until vehicle comes to stop. Only have 30,000 miles and no off-road driving. Doesn't matter about speed. Have issues at 45 mph and now driving 65 on highway. Very dangerous having to come to complete stop in middle of highway as unable to even steer!

- Roseville, CA, USA

While driving on highway at 65 mph, violent shaking in front end began and vehicle steering was inoperable. I had to slow down the vehicle to 10 mph before the violent shaking finally stopped and the ability to steer was regained. If I had been on a curve or had a vehicle behind me, I could have been killed. I was out of town when this occurred and it happened 5 additional times on that trip. This a known issue to Ford because they sent me a letter stating this is a problem. The truck (which was purchased brand new and only has 17,000 miles on it and all original parts) has now been with the dealer for 3 days. They are going to replace the steering damper but have told me that they don't know if it will fix the issue. After doing additional research on my own, I have learned that this issue is actually known as the "death wobble". Why is Ford not recalling these vehicles for this issue? It is extremely dangerous and certainly not what one would expect after paying $80K for a truck.

I understand that my truck has the Death Wobble. No warning lights, truck shakes vigorously driving on rough roads at 70mph

If I hit a bump going over 50mph my vehicle will violently shake until I slow down or stop.

We experienced the "Death Wobble" with this vehicle. The part Ford has identified as the problem(Steering Dampner) has been covered by the 20N04 warranty extension but the parts surrounding the Dampner have also been affected and needed to be replaced at our cost. This include the Long Drag link, Short Drag link, and the Adjuster. Parts and Labor totaled $673.31. This issue is well documented throughout Ford owners.

This is related to Campaign # 20N04 Steering Linkage Damper. Ford is aware of this problem and when I accelerate and hit a bump in the road the whole front end of the truck vibrates uncontrollably and i have to slam on the brakes to get the vehicle under control. I have taken it in to the Ford Dealership in Thomasville and they supposedly have ordered the part. My truck was there for 3 weeks and they did not fix the problem. I have called left messages and they have not returned my calls. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle and they will not give me the status update on when the part is going to come in.

While driving on more than one occasion the front of the truck and steering wheel starts violently shaking. It makes it hard to control. Once you pull over and stop, you can resume driving without issue. You never know when it will happen.

- Ardmore, OK, USA

While driving on Interstate 45 south of Houston at highway speeds, the steering wheel began heavily vibrating after hitting a small pothole in the freeway. It vibrated violently until I was able to apply the brakes and slow to under 40 mph. At that point, it smoothed out and control was restored.

- The Woodlands, TX, USA

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving downhill approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and vibrating uncontrollably while driving over surface changes in the road pavement. The contact was able to stop and inspect the vehicle but was unable to identify the cause of the failure. After continuing the long-distance trip, the failure reoccurred on two separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure but suggested that a suspension stabilizer bar be installed on the vehicle; however, the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.

- Wheeling, WV, USA

The first time it happened was about 9/3/2022. I was driving down the road at 60 mph and hit the rumble strip in the middle of the road. The truck started shaking violently until I slowed substantially. I started back up and it was fine. On three separate occasions it has started to do this went hitting a bump in the road. Each time I was driving about 60 mph and it stopped when I slowed substantially. It is almost impossible to steer it when it happens and it is very dangerous.

Drive train vibration, also known as -??Death Wobble.-?? My truck is experiencing shaking, or vibration at driving speeds of 70MPH. Problem is getting worse.

- San Marcos, CA, USA

Driving at highway speed I hit bumps in the road which caused violent shaking in the vehicle and loss of control of the steering. I was forced to immediately reduce my speed to avoid total loss of control, almost causing an accident. Dealer called it the death wobble but was unable to repair due to the inability of replacement parts. I have videos of the my vehicle experiencing the issue again on 9-15-22

- Waxahachie, TX, USA

Death wobble, steering extremely violent and difficult in heavy traffic with a need to slow down immediately. Risk to me and everyone around me because of the loss of control. The truck wouldn-??t stop vibrating/shaking/bouncing until I came to a complete stop in the middle median of an interstate highway. Stopped to look at the truck and didn-??t see anything. Tried again and it happened a second time. The road was rough and has some uneven places. ( I-65 south between Louisville and Elizabethtown Kentucky.)

Death Wobble: At speeds above 55mph the vehicle becomes uncontrollable after encountering bumps in the road that initiate the death wobble. The wobble becomes more uncontrollable until you can get the vehicle stopped - to zero mph. This was very dangerous in heavy Denver I25 traffic where your ability to stop was constrained by adjacent vehicles. It also occurred in construction zones with rough pavement and no shoulders or places to get off road. Having to hit the skids in the middle of freeway traffic posted with an 80mph speed limit, is life threatening, for my vehicle and the other drivers. Ford is well aware of this problem - the internet has many videos explaining how to fix it. Ford needs to get this done before someone is killed. I cannot drive the vehicle above 55mph.

The vehicle steering whips uncontrollably while driving over road imperfections (bumps, potholes, road transitions, etc.). Nearly lost control of the vehicle while driving in our neighborhood at ~35 mph when I hit a bump in the road. After researching, many people have reported this as the -??death wobble.-?? I have not taken the vehicle to the dealer yet as I initially thought it was an isolated issue. It has now occurred multiple times and clearly creates an unsafe driving situation. There are no warning lights or signals but the problem is easily reproduced by driving the vehicle at ~35 mph or more over bumps in the road. I-??ve had the issue occur on the highway at 70 mph and it could easily move the truck into another lane. I feel strongly that this should be throughly inspected immediately as it poses life-threatening conditions to drivers, passengers, and oncoming or nearby drivers.

- Kerrville, TX, USA

Going down the road at about 60MPH when I hit a bump in the road. The truck started to shack very hard, and I had to apply light brake pressure and pull off the side of the road. It stopped and I took it to the dealer. Was told steering damper was weak and needed to be replaced and it only has 32,524 miles. Did not have part and will not have it for 1-2 months.

On 8/27/22 Driving on the highway at a speed of approximately 70 mph coming of a bridge and going over transition caused the front of the truck to shake violently. With the wheels shaking and wobbling violently it was difficult to steer. This continued until I came to a complete stop on the side of the highway. This happened AGAIN on 9/4/22 with same situation on return trip home. Truck shook violently with tires wobbling until I pulled over to a complete stop. Very scary and dangerous! There was no warning prior or after incident. Truck had just been in for routine service with tire rotation on 8/16/22. Truck to be inspected by dealership on 9/14/22

While driving my children to school on a two lane road (55) the front end started shaking wildly. I lost control of the vehicle and ran oncoming traffic off the road when I crossed the double yellow line. My vehicle is stock with just barely 17k miles. Very scary.

- Georgetown , CA, USA

Front end of vehicle and steering wheel both shake violently after hitting a bump when driving between 50-70 mph.

- Spring, TX, USA

At approximately 30000 mi the truck began shaking violently whenever it hit a decent bump. mainly when traveling over 60mph. This is extreme shaking what most call a death wobble. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the steering stabilizer which seemed to help for awhile. The truck now has 73000 miles on it and shakes so bad i don't feel safe driving it. I have replaced the steering stabilizer again and the problem still persists. At this point I feel there are probably multiple issues with the steering and suspension due to the shaking.
