When encountering rough pavement while traveling over 50 miles per hour the front suspension develops a major and uncontrollable vibration. The steering wheel shakes back and forth while the truck feels like it's coming apart. Keeping the vehicle in a lane is very difficult and the only way to get the shaking to stop is to slow the vehicle down to below 25 miles per hour. The truck only has 55,000 miles on it. This first occurred in October of 2020 while merging onto an interstate, then twice again in January of 2021. In researching this symptom I've read about other owners with similar year Super Duty trucks with the exact same symptom. It is commonly referred to as the death wobble. A service appointment was scheduled with epic Ford in everett Washington on February 4th, 2021 to diagnose the problem. This is the dealer who I purchased the truck from. Their tech could not replicate the symptom so I returned to the dealer on February 9th 2021 and took the tech for a drive and was able to recreate the failure. On February 24th 2021 the dealer called to say the truck was ready to pick up but they were not able to fix the death wobble and said I should replace my after market dual steering stabilizer. I wholly disagree that this is at the root of the problem as the aftermarket steering stabilizer is only 3 years old and should only reduce the occurrence of front end wobble, not cause it. Reluctantly, I agreed to replace this part and picked of the vehicle from the dealer on February 25th 2021. There was a general lack of concern for my safety, my family's safety and for the safety of others on the road. I will pursue a repair outside of the dealer's service network. From my research, this is far too common of an issue with these vehicles, people have been injured and Ford should be doing something about the failures before someone looses their life.

- Kenmore, WA, USA

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated that the speeds was reduced and the failure was eliminated. The vehicle was taken to Ford store (17045 condit rd morgan hill, ca 95037, (408) 782-8201) where an unknown repair to the front suspension was performed however, the failure recurred. The contact called back and rescheduled another appointment for the vehicle to be repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 162,000.

Vehicle is a 2015 Ford F350 dually with 36, 875 miles on it. Vehicle starts to violently shake at approximately 30-40 miles per hour on a city street. Wobble gets excessively worse at higher speeds such as driving on the interstate. After noticing the problem I stopped driving the vehicle. This week 4 Oct, I took vehicle to ourisman Ford in alexandria, va to have vehicle checked out. They recommended replacing drag link inner and outer, drag link track bard and joint and steering shock dampner. Got second opinion from malloy Ford of anandale, va, they recommended replacing all of the above but also recommended replacing both lower tie rods and an alignment. The service director at malloy Ford john pitts is the person that informed that this is a known occurence in these vehicles and called it a "death wobble". costs for these repairs is roughly $2100. I have reached out to Ford customer care concering this issue and was told there is nothing they can do, that this is normal wear and tear. Spoke with customer care manager amanda on 7 Oct and she stated although she understood my concerns that it was my problem and there was nothing that they could do. She stated this issue could be caused from driving on rough roads and hitting pot holes. I explained that the truck has never been taken off road and I bearly drive it, hince only 36, 875 miles in 5 years. She stated there was nothing to be done on her end and told me to have a nice day.

My truck has 103,000 miles on it and it has started violently shaking when I hit even minor bumps or transitions/seams in road, from pavement/bridges/overpasses. It's extremely hard to hold the steering wheel to control the vehicle, when the steering wheel moves rapidly 4-6' back and forth while shaking. I'm afraid of losing control or causing an accident. It will not stop shaking until I slow down to 35 mph, and that is extremely difficult in 75 mph traffic, from center lanes, and very often there is no shoulder to slow down onto, when I'm on a bridge or top of overpass. It has happened at speeds as low as 55 mph, can be triggered by a pot hole, & any bumps in the pavement.this happens while driving on the highway or any road over 55 mph. It happened the first time 6/21/20 and has happened now every single time we drive it. I have captured this happening on videos twice now. Today is 8/9/20 and it happened 3 times in 24 miles today. If I die on the side of the road, I obviously would not be in able to tell anyone that this was actively happening. They would say I had 'failure to control vehicle'. I have taken to shop and had multiple suspension parts replaced and it's still happening, zero improvement. Now I'm taking it back to a mechanic tomorrow to see what else we can do. This vehicle is not paid for yet, it's out of warranty, and I'm extremely scared to even drive it. This cannot be captured in a picture, you need to see the 2 videos I took of this happening today.

I have a 2015 F350 with 24881 miles on it. I have experienced the "death wobble" I have read about in recent lawsuit news on the Ford trucks a handful of times on the highway. The truck will start shaking violently and I had to slow down drastically to get it to stop. I use this truck mainly to tow my boat and is completely in stock form. This isn't something that should be happening to a 65K sticker truck with low miles and poses a serious danger.

- Sarasota, FL, USA

2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty truck. At highway speed, after going over an overpass on the highway, the steering wheel and whole vehicle began shaking uncontrollably. It stopped as I was slowing down and pulling off the highway onto the shoulder. It did it to me again 4 miles later. I was told I experienced what's known as the "Ford death wobble".

- Felton, PA, USA

While driving about 65-70 mph, I drove over an overpass transition on I-69 in houston, which was the equivalent of a small bump, and the truck began shaking violently. All loose belongings in the truck were slung around in the cab and eventually landed on the floor, including the driver area. The vehicle was hard to control, and other vehicles cleared away from me. The vehicle was hard to keep within my lane, and I swerved out of control from one lane to another. My wife drove the truck about 3 days later, and a very similar event occurred at a speed of about 55 mph on a Texas highway North of houston. She said the truck was very hard to control, and she was very rattled during the event. At work, we have many for super duties in our fleet, and the majority of those trucks have had similar issues, with less than 25K miles on the new trucks. We have added dual steering dampers to the fleet trucks and have not had an issue since. Ford's fix for the problem lasted 2-3K miles, and then the same problem returned. They replaced the steering damper with an oem steering damper.

- Cleveland, TX, USA

The most common term for my problem is called a death wobble. I am spent a lot of money replacing parts to fix the truck only to learn that thousands of other people have the same problem. To date Ford has refused to acknowledge or accept any responsibility for this problem. The problem occurs mostly when the truck is between 50 and 70 miles an hour and hits a bump in the road. My truck currently has a hundred and forty-eight thousand miles on it, the problem started approximately at 120000 about 8 months ago.

I own a 2015 F350 superduty. I have noticed highway driving at 50 mph or higher when crossing over a transition in the road the front end suspension/steering can go into a violent shimming that can only be overcome by a rapid deacceleration to less ~30mph. There have been times that the shimming is so violent its had to control the vehicle. Yesterday, crossing over a bride on rt 222 South in lancaster co penna, the truck crossed a transition a the end of a bridge. It was all I could do to regain control of the vehicle while other cars had to swerve to miss hitting me as my truck was in this resonance until I could get it under control. This only occurs so far above 50mph, but, it is much more common at 65-70mph. I am taking the truck back to the dealer again for another evaluation. This situation developed at ~ 76,000 miles. The truck has 92,000 miles now. Upon further investigation into the event online I was able to determine that this has been identified as the "Ford superduty death wobble." I asked the dealer about this term and they said that they have had this situation on quite a few Ford F250-F350 vehicles. I no longer feel very safe driving a $72,000 vehicle that is known to have a death wobble, which as an engineer, would appear to be a direct result of an inadequate design by the oem. I believe we need the governments help resolving this situation since Ford denies the existence of this common situation.

- Elizabethtown, PA, USA

While accelerating to merge onto the highway this morning I hit a bump this caused the truck to start to wobble violently. I put on the brakes to slow the vehicle but it continued to wobble until I pulled to the shoulder of the highway. It nearly caused a accident. Scared me to death. I know others have had the same issue. Please do something about this before someone dies!

- Redwood City, CA, USA

When driving down the highway at 70 mph, I hit a bump and the steering wheel started shaking violently causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle.

- Baker, FL, USA

Between 65 mph and 80 mph the whole truck starts shaking if you come across uneven surfaces causing the truck to almost become uncontrollable speeds have to be reduced to 30 mph to regain control I have had alignments new tires and have had all steering and suspension parts inspected everything is tight apon research several Ford owners seem to be having the same issue and no one is not even Ford is trying to correct this issue. Vahical millage at 105,000

- Terrell, TX, USA

I was towing a trailer on a hwy 52 in Colorado when I hit a small bump in the road. The truck began to shake violently I lost control and went in too the other lane it shook until I came to complete stop. It has done it 5 times since then I honesty don't want to drive the truck any more. The truck only has 37K miles on it and new shock and steering damper. This needs to be resolved I did a google search on this there have been multiple cases just like mine google death wobble. Some one is going to get hurt this is a safety concern.

- Keenesburg, CO, USA

2015 F350 4X4 6.7 we tow a 12K trailer gooseneck. This problem occures loaded and unloaded. Any bump over 50 mph on the driver tire will cause a violent shake that will persist though acceleration steering inputs and braking, soft or hard. Only slowing to below 45 sometimes 35 will stop the shaking. During the shake steering is nearly impossible, and attpeting to keep straight resulted in twisting the steering wheel out of alignment. Thus far we have replaced steering stabalizer. Track bar, and assosiated bushing and ball joint, tires, multiple alignments, sway bar links, balljoints, shocks. Each repair makes the problem seemingly better for a time but within a week it returns. We are a danger on the road and have sense stopped driving until a hard resolution is found.

When traveling at highway speeds vehicle begins to bounce. The bounce is clearly coming from rear end of vehicle. I have done some research into the issue and have found other year have had this issue and is solved by a damper attached to the trailer hitch.

- Safford, AZ, USA

2015 Ford F350 Super Duty, full size bed. This truck will bounce like crazy on the highway if it is concrete, or asphalt covered concrete. It starts about 60mph and if I speed up it will go away at about 75mph. This bounce is very frustrating and makes me upset, mad and embarrassed that such a nice truck that cost so much money would have this issue. It is not just my truck, by far there are many, many, many of them with this issue and not limited to late or early model trucks. Search google for this issue and you will be as surprised as I was to how many there are and how long this has been going on!!! I have replaced the shocks with bilstein shocks, added 2" leveling kit to front springs, replaced steering damper shock with bilstein also, changed tires and rims 3 different times with no change in issue. The only thing that changed with the new bilstein shocks was not good either- now with the new shocks on the truck bounces more and sooner with my medium sized dump trailer connected. Before the shock change, if there was a load in the bed or trailer connected there was no bounce to deal with. I love this truck and have spent lots of money on making it look great, now I want it to ride and drive great also. I got a pretty good deal on this truck last year at a car lot, now I am understanding why!!!! I am sure this truck was traded in after many attempts from the dealer to fix this issue and they could not. I feel like Ford has really let us down here, I have owned many work trucks and vans and never had an issue like this.
