2013 F350 front end started violently shaking while turning on slight curves or hitting uneven pavement driving about 55-65 mph, and this made the truck lose all steering control. I have had to apply the brakes or the situation only got worse. The vehicle ended up on the emergency lane a few times or center median, creating a very dangerous situation with other vehicles around. I only gained control of the vehicle when the vehicle slowed to about 35 mph or lower. This situation has occurred many times and sometimes 3 or 4 times in one day. I am trying to figure out how there is no recall for this "Death Wobble" after reading so many others experiencing the same issues and as dangerous as it is once it begins. I have been lucky that no vehicles are real close by when this happens, because this would be a very dangerous situation if other vehicles were close by as I lose control of the truck for a few seconds while driving.

A Ford truck "death wobble". 350 trucks have problems with the steering linkage and suspension systems. The lawsuit alleges F-250 and F-150 as well. I purchased a 2013 Ford F-350 in and it is dangerous.. However, the the Ford dealership denied the wobble problem and refused to repair the truck.

Dealer omissions and/or misrepresentations associated with the Defect, including, but not limited to, out of pocket losses for repairs (approximately $1,231.00), out of pocket losses for replacement parts (approximately $375.75), diminished value of his vehicle, and other consequential damages."

The F-350 trucks allegedly suffer from abnormal wearing or loosening of the damper brackets, ball joints, control arms, shocks and struts, and also claims there are problems with the track bar bushings (pitman arms) that cause the violent shaking customers call the death wobble. Truck owners claim steering control can easily be lost when the wobble occurs while driving highway speeds.

A Ford truck typically experiences the death wobble when traveling more than 50 mph and at least one of the tires hits a groove or bump in the road. Allegedly the only way to control the violent shaking is by quickly reducing speed, a dangerous move when driving in traffic. The wobble references 1,265 death wobble complaints that were submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) between March 10, 2005, and February 6, 2019. According to data from the 12 reports involved crashes and injuries and 82 complaints indicated a loss of control of the trucks. Additionally, 148 complaints were filed by customers who said they were afraid the death wobble would kill them.

Many customers complained the wobble occurred before the trucks had 36,000 miles on them, and 30 complaints claim the alleged problems started before 5,000 miles. The plaintiff says Ford routinely tells truck owners the wobble is related to improper maintenance even when the warranties are still good so the automaker doesn't have to pay for repairs.

According to Ford, they know the suspensions and steering linkage systems are defective but continues to conceal the facts. The dealers say he wouldn't have purchased the truck, or would have paid less for it, if Ford hadn't concealed the death wobble. The Ford truck death wobble lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California - William Lessin, et al., v. Ford Motor Company, et al.

I have searched the internet and have read about and seen the death wobble. My truck has been doing it since about 30,000 miles, it now has 50,000. I took it in to the dealership and they told me it had a little play in one of the stabilizer bars. So they replaced it. That was about $135.00. Within a couple of days the death wobble happened to me again. I kept waiting for a loaner car so that I could get back and forth to work, 20,000 miles later they offered to give me a ride home.

The death wobble has happened several times, at lease twice a week. It now has cost me $435.00 to change a couple of little parts that were under $100.00 the rest labor. Now sure if it is fixed, I have only driven it to work so far... I don't believe I should have to paying for this problem. Ford has known about this now for several years...I think it is their responsibility to pay for these repairs not me. This has been the most expensive truck I have ever bought and I have never experienced such a hair raising experience.
