Over 5 times my truck become uncontrollable at highway speeds; 60mph or greater. A seam, groove, joint or other minor imperfection in the road instigates a violent shaking from the front of the truck. The only recourse is to jam on the brakes, at which the shaking subsides and control returns at approximately below 40 mph. As this normally happens at highway speeds, the loss and control and spontaneous braking required takes adjacent drivers by surprise very nearly causes an accident. I have owned this truck since it was new and purchase from Tommy Vaughn Ford. I regularly have the vehicle serviced at Hellman Ford in Stafford, TX. I've returned to Helfman 3 times since October 2019 with this problem. Initially they replaced some components which did not help, secondly I was told I needed new tires and that was the cause which I did purchase the next day which seemed to remedy the issue for 10,000 miles, and the most recent visit after the latest incident I was told they could not recreate the shaking, could not find anything wrong and no action was taken. I have not driven the truck in the two months since the last incident and is available for inspection if needed. Episodes do not result in any sort of warning light on the dash.

If I incur a bump while traveling 60 mph, the front end will violently shake and rattle. The only way to stop this condition is to come to a stop. The vehicle feels totally out of control when this occurs. It is also very dangerous coming to a stop on a highway or interstate.

A little over 2 years ago my truck started the death wobble. I didn't know at first what it was but after internet searches I quickly came across the so called "death wobble". I have taken it in to the dealer multiple times They have changed a few parts when taking it in, at my own expense, but never have fixed the problem. It is progressively getting worse and is very dangerous to drive. Not just for me but for the public as well. When the truck starts to do the death wobble there is not much you can do but hold on. Ford should be responsible for fixing the problem with there own.

Every time I hit any sort of bump on the road (I.e the the lip on a highway overpass approach, or any standard road lip or bump) I lose complete control of my truck, it violently shakes and I have to come to a complete stop to get rid of it, which is dangerous when in traffic, I-??ve owned the truck for a year and a half and have never been able to fix the problem, the local ford dealership I purchased the truck from said it-??s not a listed recall and they can do nothing about it, there is no diagnosable problem that anyone can figure out, I-??ve been told these year trucks have this problem, I-??ve lost control multiple time with myself and my girlfriend in the vehicle and barely recovered from having many major accidents and being a danger to others driving on the same road as me.

I have replaced every defective part on front end of my truck. Got it aligned every single time. Brand new tires and different tire pressures and it still does it. I still have a steering oscillation(death wobble) over 50+ mph.

- Richmond, VA, USA

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle experienced the "death wobble" after driving over a bump in the roadway. The contact stated that the steering wheel began to violently shake, and he lost control of the vehicle. The contact took his foot off the accelerator pedal until the shaking stopped at 20 MPH and the vehicle resumed normal driving. No warning light illuminated. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,400.

While driving several time at highway speed about 50-55mph I hit a bump and my truck goes into a violent shake. The steering wheel shakes and about lose control of the very heavy truck. I have asked the dealer to look at it next week. They said it was known as the "Death Wobble". My truck was shaking so bad I thought something had broke and I was going to wreak. I ask if this was under a recall the dealer said no. It maybe the steering or can purchase a special bracing for the truck. I shouldn't have to correct a manufacture defect.

The front end of my truck shakes violently when I hit bumps (death wobble)

- La Harpe, IL, USA

Driving at highway speed going over a bridge and went over a expansion joint an out of no where the entire front end started to violently shake. I had to apply brakes which because it was shaking so bad the abs kicked in and started the wheels to skid. I was sure that the front wheels were coming off the truck. Still continues and ford has the truck now. No Warnings.

- Mt.Pleasant, SC, USA

Multiple times: Front end violent shake pulling steering wheel from hands and loosing control at 70 mph. Slammed on brakes just before I hit the center concrete barrier on highway. Driving over a manhole cover on road at 30 mph sent front end again into a built shake causing loss of steering and into oncoming traffic till was able to brake and stop vehicle. Drive great till next bump in road. 11 diesel techs cannot figure out what is wrong! This truck is going to kill someone, what is wrong with it"??" Replaced tie rods, track bars, ball joints, wheel bearing, steering dampener, shocks, multiple alignments, caster bolts, ... $4800... in parts and labor so far and continues the exact same death wobble trap!

While driving on the freeway, exiting onto the off ramp, the rut in the road caused my whole front end to shake uncontrollably. I could barely keep the vehicle on the road and almost collided with the sound wall adjacent to the off ramp. The severe shaking lasts until my vehicles slows significantly, as in the 15-20 mph range. Which is less than ideal on a major freeway!!!!! This is the fourth time this has happened in the past few weeks. Research on the internet revealed to me that this apparently is a known problem with this particular vehicle model. I finally was wise enough to take it to my local Ford dealership, wherein a mechanic told me that it is a known problem by Ford, which the dealerships cover only when one is brought in with issues. Not shocking to me however, the Ford dealership just told me that the suspension issues was caused by "wear" and it is out of my pocket to repair. It has 35,000 miles on it! Is this indeed a wide spread issue? My wife will no longer drive with me, or allow my kids in the vehicle, because she was in the truck on two of the occasions and she told me she would like to live!!!!!

This truck is extremely dangerous. It has the infamous Ford Death Wobble. When you go across a slight transition or bump at 55-70 mph, the truck goes into a violent wobble in the steering that wont stop until you slow down to 30 or so mph. Ive had several parts replaced on the front end and nothing works. From online forums, Ive recently learned that Ford is ignoring the problem. Please take action because I almost had 2 collisions traveling on the interstate

After hitting very small bumps is the road my truck shook so violently that I could not control it. I had my two little girls in the back and they where very scared. After taking my truck to my mechanic I was made aware of this being a big issue with Ford trucks, apparently it is called the "Death Wobble". I completely understand why they call it that. My truck has under 100,000 miles and when this first happened my truck only had around 60k miles on it. Ford has not maintenance recommendations to replace suspension parts at 60k miles. There should not be any suspension issues on a vehicle with only 60k miles. This is VERY DANGEROUS. Not only can the vehicle not be controlled but this happens on highways and interstates and can cause a huge accident. From time to time I tow a 5th wheel RV that weighs 13,452 when it is empty. Does somebody need to die because nobody wants to do anything about this very serious issue? I am reporting this now because I previously did not know things like this could be reported to a Government agency.

When traveling at highway speeds and hit a inconsistent place in the pavement the vehicle gets a death wobble. The steering wheel shakes violently back and forth and the front of the truck bounces on the ground. When the brakes are applied the wobble gets worse so the vehicle has to slow down on its own without applying the brakes. The shaking will stop around 23-28 miles per hour. I have had this happen 6 different times and the vehicle is very hard to keep on the road while it is happening. This is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed. I have slowly been having an ase certified mechanic replacing front end parts to try and fix the problem with no success. I try to avoid driving the truck due to this issue which has happened for the last year. I have videos on my dash camera when this happens. The last time it actually knocked the camera off the window. I know alot of Ford truck people and everyone is having the same issue.

- New River, AZ, USA

When traveling on the highway/interstate if one of the front tires hits a bump the whole front end shakes terribly. The only way to stop it is to slow way down below 50 mph which obviously is dangerous when other vehicles are traveling up to 20 mph faster.

- Shepherdsville, KY, USA

When you get past 48 miles per hour the front end/steer shakes noticeably. Also, when you hit a bump/hole in the road it shakes so bad we have to pull over now. In calling to get it fixed the Ford repairman knew what we were talking about before we said anything, but stated there was no recall on it?? its dangerous!

At highway speeds, the front end begins to osculate or bounce from right wheel to left wheel in a rapid motion commonly known as the "death wobble". this truck has been to Ford dealership 5 times without making the problem any better. Possibly it has gotten worse after the visits. The wobble severely diminishes control of the 9500lb vehicle and has caused me to Dodge into barricaded construction zones among other dangerous maneuvers, to gain control. I have posted videos on you tube showing 6 instances (I have many more) of the wobble and belong to a rapidly growing group of thousands of Ford owners with the same problem. This issue typically takes place at highway speeds when un-even pavement is driven over and the left & right wheel do not hit the bump at the exact same time. Examples would be a bridge transition at a 20-30^ angle or just dilapidated top layer of asphalt. Especially prone to activation when the road is curving left and the driver side front wheel hits a small bump.

- Fair Oaks, CA, USA

When driving the vehicle, the rear violently bounces over 50 mph. If the vehicle hits a bump in the road, the vehicle is very difficult to control at high speed; especially on the expressway. I have hit a pothole on the expressway and almost lost control of the truck on several occasions, especially on a curve in the road. If the road has bumps or dips the truck bounces so violently I almost lose control of the truck.

- Chicago, IL, USA

While driving on 4 lane highway at 70 mph, I encountered the death wobble. I immediately had to brake as there was an 18 wheeler coming up on the passing lane. This happened twice on this stretch of highway. After reading all the issues regarding the death wobble, its time Ford does a recall before there is a death and Ford gets a lawsuit.

- Franklin, LA, USA

My truck is experiencing the "death wobble" with only 60K miles on it. When I hit a bump going more then 50 mph the front wheel shake violently until I slow down. I am unable to control the steering wheel.
