While driving at a sustained speed of 50 miles per hour I hit a bump in the road then experienced violent shaking in the steering wheel "the death wobble " as others describe it. I applied the brake and steered it off the road. I got out checked all the wheels and suspension but everything seemed normal. I proceeded to drive again but never went over 45 after that.

Was going down the highway at 75mph towing a 7,000lb trailer, went across an overpass that had some bumps at the transition back to the regular roadway (normal road bumps, not big at all). After hitting the bumps, my trucks front end and steering wheel started to shake badly and caused the truck to go into the left lane uncontrollably which caused an 18 wheeler to have to move left and almost leave the payment to avoid me hitting him. After reading other complaints about a "death wobble" and my close in counter of almost being killed or killing the 18 wheeler driver, I decided I had to make a complaint. This needs to be recalled, addressed, and fixed by Ford. My truck only has 40,000 miles on it. This eventually will kill someone, if it hasn't already.

I was traveling at 65 mph and hit a separation on the road crossing a bridge and the steering wheel and front end started to shake violently. "death wobble". I had to slow the vehicle to a stop in order to get it to stop shaking. My truck has 23,000 + miles on it. I have take it to the local Ford dealership for all oil changes and tire rotations. I have also taken it for all recalls. I have all paperwork on this.

I was driving home from work on Idaho highway 48 at approximately 50 mph. When I hit a patch of rough road, not a pot hole, just uneven surface, the truck began to wobble violently and shook me off the road. I was totally unable to control it and almost went into a canal. I was finally able to slow down enough to regain control. This happened twice. The vehicle is unusable in this condition.

- Rigby, ID, USA

The truck has death wobble. While in motion after hitting any rough patch of road the trucks steering wheel will shake violently and uncontrollably til the oscillation subsides after reducing speed below high speeds. The problem is still persisting.

- Manassas, VA, USA

Truck has had issues of "death wobble" from about 30,000 miles. At 63,000 miles Ford did the steering damper recall. It did not help at all. I am afraid to drive the truck, so it sits at home. It is an $80,000 vehicle sitting in the driveway. It gets wobbly going above 60 mph, and reacts bad when bumps are encountered on the road.

This vehicle violently shakes after hitting a grooved surface or a small bump in the road. The shaking takes a great deal of power to bring the vehicle back under control.

Vehicle has under 29,000 miles. Vehicle does not tow heavy loads nor come close to its rated capacity for use as a 1 ton. Today June 1st 2020 at 50mph on side road I drove over a transition between old asphalt and new asphalt, a small bump, the truck front end started shaking. All control of the front end was lost. I coasted U till the problem stopped I drove another 4 miles home. Searched the internet. Learned of the death wobble. I repeated the drive under the same conditions. At the same spot the truck did the exact same loss of control death shake.

My 2018 F-350 has a uncontrollable wobble in the front end, the Ford dealer has replaced the steering stabilizer, but that didn't seem to help. Feels like the wheels are falling off, the vehicle doesn't feel save to drive. It seems to happen at all speeds.

On April 4, 2020 while driving on the freeway at the speed limit of 70 mph, I traveled over an overpass that had a small lip type bump. The truck hit the small bump and the steering wheel started shaking violently so that I had trouble holding on to the steering wheel. I immediately applied brake pressure and the truck veered halfway into the lane next to me causing a vehicle to sound its horn and take evasive action. The truck finally settled down at approximately 40 mph as I went halfway off the side of the highway. Many articles in the cab of the truck were dislodged including a coffee cup, reading glasses. This truck has 22,000 miles on it, has had all recommended maintenance done in accordance with the owners manual. This includes tire rotation and regular tire pressure checks. There have been no modifications to this truck, it is exactly as it came from the factory. I am a retired firefighter with decades of emergency vehicle driving to my credit with no accidents. I truly felt in danger and attribute the safe outcome of this episode to my professional emergency vehicle driver training skills.

Driving on highway any speed 55mph-80mph, hit a rough patch in the road and the "death wobble" begins. The only way to regain control of the vehicle, is to slam on the brakes. Very scary!

- Layton, UT, USA

I was driving on the interstate about 75 mph and hit a bump and the front end started shaking uncontrollably (the 'death wobble') and wouldn't stop until I slowed to about 40 mph. This has happened 3 times now.

- Highland, IL, USA

While driving the speed limit on the freeway and hitting a "rough" patch, the truck's wheels then begin shaking, causing the whole truck to violently shake. There is a significant lost of control of the vehicle. The shaking won't subside to regain control until the speed drops below 50 mph or lower. The vehicle has very limited response to turning when the shaking is happening. This seems to be similar to what I've heard described as a "death wobble". this happens while driving straight and maintaining speed (I.e. not turning or accelerating or decelerating). This has happened periodically, but always after a change in surface (expansion joint, pothole, uneven surface). I have driven over the same spot with other vehicles, including a Ford Excursion, and cannot replicate it. It seems to be specific to this generation of the Super Duty.

- Vancouver, WA, USA

Bought brand new, the feel was bouncy; at 14,000 miles more bouncy in front end, by 23,000 miles the full "death wobble" at 45 miles an hour on a very small bridge. Then every single time you drove the truck, the "death wobble" would happened, everytime, even with the littles bumps. Very scary and the truck is out of control when this happens, I was actually afraid to drive it back to the dealer.

- Deerfield, WI, USA

I noticed the steering was getting sloppy at about 35,000 miles when driving at highway speeds on uneven road surfaces and going over bridge joints. Two nights ago I was driving at 57mph when I came off a bridge and the truck began to shake violently causing me to slow down quickly and pull to the road shoulder to avoid being rear ended. At about 30mph the shaking subsided. Researching the issue on line has led me to believe I have a truck inflicted with 'death wobble'. it will be going to the dealership tomorrow.

- Tallahassee, FL, USA

While traveling at 65-70 mph on the highway, I drove over a rough patch of road and the steering wheel and front end of the truck began to violently shake. Instinctually, I immediately let off the accelerator to slow down which seemed to add to the forceful shaking by causing the entire vehicle to sway from side to side. I'm a healthy sized 210 lb man and I struggled to maintain control of the steering wheel to prevent veering off the road or into another car. I managed to steer my way to the emergency lane and slowed down enough to where the shaking and swaying stopped. Although it was only about 30 seconds in duration, it seemed like an eternity and it was by far one of the scariest moments in my life. After the incident today, I did some research and discovered this is a known issue with Super Duty F-250 & F-350 pickup trucks. It has been labeled the "death wobble" (yes that's really what its called). Thankfully, it was me and not my teenage son behind the wheel because I think today's incident would have ended much differently had he been driving! please advocate for the consumer and issue a recall regarding this issue before it costs someone their life.

- Jasper, GA, USA

It started with a slight shake going over a seam in the pavement at highway speeds. After a few thousand miles it developed into a hard shake that would not stop until you would slow down below 35 mph. The dealer "fixed" this with a steering stabilizer, but it still feels like it did when the problem started and the dealer can't replicate the problem. Probably because I will be out of warranty in about 2000 miles.

- Center Valley, PA, USA

When driving at highway speeds and the front end hits a bump in the road steering wheel begins an oscillation that carries through entire truck. Truck needs to be slowed down to get vehicle back under control. Started happening at around 15,000 miles and only has gotten worse with time. Truck now has 27,000 miles on it. Ford replaced a steering dampener 1-24-20 but truck still has issue
