While driving at 65 mph on a highway hit a small pothole and the steering / front suspension started wobbling very violently, had no more control on the the steering. Had to slow down and pull over on the shoulder. No damage visible to tires or steering components so I continued driving and the wobble was gone. This happened before on bridge joints in a curve for a short moment, but not as violently as today. Truck seems not safe, will take it to dealer on Monday.

I purchased a new 2017 F-350 a couple years ago. It has about 22,000 miles on it. I experienced the "death wobble" yesterday for the second time. I now know why it's called that. I was going about 60mph on a two-lane highway when the truck and steering started shaking violently. I almost crashed trying to slow it down and definitely could have killed me! it sounds as if this is becoming all too common of a problem with these trucks. I'm scared to drive again!

I was driving down the freeway to work at approximately 70 mph when my truck started to shake so bad in the front end I almost took out the vehicle to my left and ended up halfway in the ditch. I had 0 control over my truck

Death wobble. Front end shakes so bad you cant control it between 50 and 60 mph on highway.

- Clinton, WI, USA

Traveling on a paved highway at 60 mph. The roadway had a bumpy section. When driving thru the bumpy section, the front end of the truck began to shake violently and nearly caused a loss of control. It continued to shake until the truck speed was reduced below 30 mph.

Had truck repaired in April of 2017 with death wobble. Today it is back in for the same problem. Service person said there is no 'fix', just keep bringing it back N. guess I will until it kills me in an accident! same problems as before, front end goes crazy when hitting a bump or bridge xian's ion joint at freeway speeds.

- Castle Pines, CO, USA

When traveling at 60-75 mph and hit a bump in the road like a pavement to bridge deck but not limited to that the front end goes into a violent shimmie and have to hit the brakes hard to keep control and slow to 30mph or so. Mostly hiway driving some no hiway. Have taken in to Ford and others and was told Ford can't fix this issue. Started happening around 36K and I have 42K on it now. Have installed a steering dampener with no fix. This is has deflated the value of my vehical if I was able to sell it at all with all the blogs like cargurus death wobble. Ford needs to be forced to make a fix for this issue and hope you will pursue this issue. I don't have the kind of money to just buy another brand vehical to pull my 5th wheel and this issue could kill sombody. Thank you

This vehicle on normal roads, interstate or backroads, will go into what I would call a death wobble. This "wobble" is very violent, and it usually occurs at 50mph or greater. At this speed the vehicle becomes barely guideable to the point that it is very dangerous. The only way to make the vehicle stop the event is to slow down. My experience has been that it will continue down to speeds of 35-40 before it goes away. I strongly feel as though this event, if it were to happen at the wrong time will cost a life. It does not take a huge pot hole to set it off, it is typically a smaller irregular bump that will get it going. Under warranty I have had the steering damper replaced as well as both front shocks and nothing so far has touched the issue.

Steering or suspension goes into a violent shacking often referred to as death wobble after hitting certain bumps on a roadway. Bumps appear to involve both front tires possibly when one tire hits first similar to bridge joints or pavement breaks. At highway speeds about 55 or greater, only had happen when driving straight. The steering while shakes back and forth about 1-inch each way with truck body shaking. It appears to worsen if breaking hard so slow deceleration has been my practice. When towing trailer have used manual application of trailer brakes to drag truck slower which seems better. Experienced when driving truck only and also when towing a fifth wheel 12K pound trailer or a 7K pound hitch pull box trailer. Truck weighs about 9K pounds. Ford dealer has serviced unit according to service bulletin #18-2268. Four visited for repairs and a few additional visits for inspection before ordering parts. Ford company issued a case number cas-17515150-L3W8H1. This case case closed by Ford following the last repair with out confirming with be it had been fixed. I presently had Ford dealer order new tires for install on 10/28/2019 then hope to have alignment checked again as well look for any new signs of wear on components. Last trip from eminence, mo to dixon il experienced this death wobble 7 times. Combined vehicle weight about 22K pounds.

When driving at normal road speeds, between 45 and 70 mph, when vehicle encounters a bump while in a slight turn, the steering wheel starts to "shimmy", or oscillate, violently, making vehicle directional control very difficult. Dealer has stated they corrected the problem but the problem has returned and seems to be worse.

- Somerset, CA, USA

Front tires oscillate back and forth when hitting potholes at highway speeds above 50mph, bridge overpasses anything that is rough. Known as the death wobble for most people. Truck becomes out of control shaking back and forth, having to slow the truck down almost to a stop. This issue started around 37K miles and has just gotten worse. Now the dealer says my track bar with ball joint is ruined, steering stabalizer, 2 drag links 1 at passenger knuckle and 1 at the pitman arm. This repair is close to $1,000.

When traveling at highway speeds the truck violently shakes and is uncontrollable after hitting bumps or potholes. In order to regain control of the vehicle, hard braking must be applied to reduce speed rapidly. This has happened several times while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle has been to three different Ford dealerships and had three different supposed service bulletin fix repairs performed. Yet here we are still with the death wobble.

- Washington Ch, OH, USA

Another victim of death wobble. It's happened twice, once with truck alone (January 2019) and another time pulling a 5th wheel trailer (9/22/2019)...both downhill in the mountains. The truck just started shaking violently until I was able to slow down enough to make it stop. The first time the dealer installed some caster shims, the 2nd time they said everything looked fine and no issues with the suspension.

- Henderson, CO, USA

At 17,000 miles just started the death wobble. Hit a bump in the road, it happened pulling a trailer going 62 mph. Had to slow down to 30 mph to regain control of vehicle.

- Midland, TX, USA

I was driving on I-25 in Colorado, mile marker 255, through a construction zone. My speed was 50 mph. The truck experienced an extreme steering oscillation/death wobble after driving over a rough spot in the construction zone. I was in the right lane and was able to bring the vehicle to a stop on the narrow shoulder. Attached is the repair document from the dealer. Dealer replaced part #hc3Z 3E651 F :damper assembly per tsb 19-2274.

- Pinetop, AZ, USA

I have sever shaking while on the freeway after hitting a bump or the road changes. I have taken it into the dealer 4 times now in the last few months to try and solve the problem. It is a safety problem that has almost made me lose control of the vehicle. As of right now the problem is still there with no fix from Ford.

- Draper, UT, USA

While driving on the freeway I crossed an expansion joint where there is a bridge, the vehicle because to shake and bounce all over the lane, it is scary and dangerous. I had to slow down to ~30 mph in the middle of traffic on the freeway to bring the vehicle back under control. The vehicle only has 26,000 miles on it and has already been to the dealer for service for this issue in the past.

2017 Ford F-350 superduty truck experienced severe steering/suspension wobble when encountering bumps in roadway. Four incidents occurred, with three occurring in the Sept. 18-26, timeframe in 2019.while traveling at 65 to 70 mph. Vehicle was hard to control during the wobble, and required slowing to 20-25mph to stop the shaking. Other vehicles following me at the listed speeds were required to brake quickly to avoid collision with my vehicle. All incidents occurred on interstate highways. Vehicle mileage was approx. 17000 miles at the time.

My 2017 Ford F 350 XLT 4X4 sb has 30,000 miles. On tues. Morning my wife and I were driving back to mesa, AZ. From panguitch, Utah. A couple miles into our trip, while driving 55 mph we hit a bumpy area of the road and the truck starting shaking violently, like having a blowout. I had to pull over to see what what was happening. I could see no damage to any tires, so we kept driving and it happened again less than 10 minutes into the drive.. this time I slowed down until I regained control. We did not have any more issues the rest of our trip to mesa. We were pulling a 40 ft. Fifth wheel #13,500. At the time. We were just finishing up our summer trip when this happened. This happened about 45 days earlier just outside cheyenne, wy., after reading a lot of similar incidents from other Ford owners. I felt that I needed to report this issue
