Experienced the "death wobble." The steering wheel and tires shook uncontrollable and I nearly crashed. Had to slam on the breaks and stop. Only have 26000 miles on the vehicle. I am taking it in for them to work on but it concerns me that it will happen again. Our other truck that is exactly the same did the same thing this week too and are taking it in also. Seems to be a common thing with these trucks. Lucky no one got hurt or killed. Really scared me to death.

Was driving with a load of ~19,000 pounds (fifth wheel) at ~55 mph, when the steering wheel began shaking uncontrollably until I came to a stop. The following day was driving without a load at ~60 mph, hit a rough spot in the road, and the steering wheel bagan shaking uncontrollably until I came to a stop. The truck has done this more than 5 times but less than 10 during the last 30 days. This issue began when my truck had ~24000 miles on it. The vehicle has done this while driving on state highways and local roads, but all paved. The dealership said it was a known issue. There is a steering dampener the dealership would like to try. I am unable to use the vehicle for its intended purpose, according to the dealership.

Severe shaking and movement in the steering system causing an almost loss in control. Truck is currently in the shop for the 5th time to resolve the issue.

I was driving straight 55-60 miles per hour on a smooth highway when I hit a patch of light bumps / grooves. The steering wheel and truck started shaking violently and wouldn't stop until I slowed to 40 miles per hour. This happened twice in a 2 mile stretch. This is the 'death wobble' issue reported by thousands of Ford owners and really needs to be addressed before someone loses control and gets killed.

Front wheels/steering stabilizer bars. 2019 F-350 srw with 8' bed and 5400 miles on the truck. The front wheels started bouncing when hitting potholes. It was noticeable at lower speeds (less than 35mph) but it was significantly more defined at speeds of over 35-40mph. I did not think much of it until it occurred a couple of times while doing about 45mph and to a point where I almost lost control of the vehicle. Note: The truck has never been off-road or driven recklessly. I recently turned it in to Ford where they confirmed that there have been many other instances reported with the same model/year truck. Technician stated it is becoming a common complaint and related to a faulty front wheel stabilizer bars. Ford is currently replacing the stabilizer bars on my truck. Hence I felt obligated to report this issue in hopes to avoid someone possibly getting into a severe accident due to this faulty stabilizer bars.

On 1/13/20 while I was driving on the highway the steering wheel began to shake violently causing me to lose control. By the time I got slow down enough to sop I was in the left lane (incoming traffic). Luckily there was no traffic or I wouldn't be able to make this complaint as I would of been hit head on and had no control of the vehicle. My dealer said he had another truck with the same issue and it would take 2 months to get a part to maybe fix it. $65,000 and I have a truck I'm scared to drive. It's a 2019 with 7,000 miles on it. I have a pregnant wife and 3 children. The issues with these trucks are death traps. This truck is basically a one ton wrecking ball that I can lose control of at any minute. It's my only transportation. Something needs to be done about these before someone is killed. My wife won't get in it and won't allow the kids in the truck. This is completely unacceptable. Since it happened I researched possible causes and have learned this is a well documented issue in these vehicles. At this point I'm afraid to I'm either going to die or kill someone else in this vehicle. If I could simply return it I would tomorrow.

Driving at highway speeds truck randomly starts to violently shake almost to the point of losing control. Upon researching my issue it seems to be consist with what is know as a "death wobble". I am unable to use my truck for its intended purpose.

- Billings, MT, USA

Sustained steering wheel oscillation (aka death wobble) while driving down the highway at approximately 65 mph. I drove over a rough bridge expansion joint and the steering wheel started to violently shake back and forth until I slowed to approximately 25mph and the oscillations ceased.

Death wooble took it to the dealer said parts are being redesigned 4-6 weeks out will call when they get them. Very dangerous situation truck has 21000 miles on it problem has happened numerous times on highway 70-80 mph.

- El Campo, TX, USA

After hitting bridge expansion join at approx 60 mph T in New Hampshire I expierenced a speed wooble so severe I had to stop at night on the highway which is extremely dangerous, the wobble was so severe I was unable to turn or get off highway. This has occured three times in the last month but the last wobble was very severe. This is a brand new 2019 F-350 with less than 12,000 miles. This has ocured frequently since I purchased the truck but was not very severe, my concern is if my child was driving this truck likely would have been a severe accident or rollover. After getting online it appears this is a large problem with the superduties wondering why no recall?

When traveling at speeds above 40mph when the vehicle hits grooves, expansion cracks, or just uneven roadways the front end starts to shake violently and becomes very hard to control. The only way to get the shaking to stop is by bringing the vehicle to speeds around 20mph. So far it has happened 4 times and one of the times took me off the road.

- Davie, FL, USA

I purchased a new F350 in 04/19. It has an issue that causes the steering and front end to shake violently and uncontrollably when it hits a bump in the road when traveling at highway speeds. The issue is only corrected by slowing the vehicle. Sometimes the vehicle has to come to a complete stop before the vehicle will stop shaking. The issue has happened no less than 12 times as of 12/31/19. It has been to the dealer twice for this issue. They made adjustments and replaced steering dampener both times and the issue was not a present until 6-8 weeks after repairs. This is extremely dangerous and I am very fortunate that this has not led to an accident yet.

- Keller, TX, USA

Traveling at 65 mph, steering wheel begin to shake violently. Unable to control the steering of the vehicle, when brakes were applied, no braking action took place, pedal just went to the floor as if in an anti-lock situation. After speed was reduced below 25 mph, the shaking stopped and was able to return back to normal driving. This happened 3- consecutive times, each time with the same ending. Truck is a 2019 F-350 with only 22K miles. Has been in the shop now for 42 days with no answer from Ford about what caused or how to repair the issue.

At speeds greater than 45 mph, when hitting rough pavement or a joint in the roadway (such as a freeway overpass or bridge), the steering wheel wobbles (oscillates) violently back and forth. It cannot recover until speeds are reduced below 45 mph. This is repeatable. I have filmed an occurrence and posted on youtube for review: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=rupsa7kdsjo this video shows a typical occurrence. Traveling about 75 mph on a clear, flat, straight stretch of freeway (I-25, just South of fort collins, co). A small joint (a normal part of the freeway) caused the wheels to shake uncontrollably, which causes the steering wheel to violently shake and oscillate back an forth. It's very difficult to control or even grasp the steering wheel. The only recourse is to find a way to slow the vehicle. Once speeds dip below about 45 mph, the vehicle is able to recover. My vehicle is completely stock and has no aftermarket parts, shocks, lifts, or other equipment. It has stock wheels, stock tires, stock suspension components, etc. It had about 13,000 miles on the odometer when this problem began. This appears to be a known problem (internet) and Ford had a service bulletin tso 18-2268 to address. However, this tsb only applies to trucks built on or before 31-July-2018. My truck was built during March 2019. Ford clearly hasn't resolved the underlying issue and now doesn't even have an active tsb to address the symptoms.

While driving at about 65 to 70 mph, their was a small bump in the highway that normally you would not even notice, made my new truck with only 7,000 miles start shaking and it felt like my wheels were going to fall off, I lost about all control of my vehicle, and had to slow down to about 15 mph on the I-15 highway to get it under control. I am sure if this persists that I or someone will be seriously injured or killed

- Provo, UT, USA

Shacking of steering wheel this is not an isolated incident with our trucks, it's a nationwide problem that is very very dangerous. In a 10 mile ride it would happen 3-4X at 70 to 75mph hitting the slightest bump, the truck would violently shake. I would have to slow down to 20 mph for it to stop. Very difficult on a highway!

- Lowell, MA, USA

Major steering wheel wobble at speeds unsafe. Contiues to happen and get worse as I drive.

- Crosby, TX, USA

'death wobble.' Hitting any uneven road conditions at highway speed causes vehicle to shake violently. This is at random and you never know when it is going to happen. Temporarily lose control of the vehicle.

- Gillette, WY, USA

Traveling at about 80 mph went over a bridge approach, the steering wheel violently shook until I hit the brakes and slowed to about 25 mph. Aka death wobble.

There is an issue with Ford trucks that is commonly referred to as the death wobble. My truck has less than 30,000 miles and has been in three times for this issue. Once Ford corrected the issue and it came back. When it came back was told there are updated parts have been waiting for well over a month with no feedback from Ford. Reached out yet again to them and was told that I would be escalated. My concern is that this safety issue should have active management and communication from Ford and it does not. People are told they have to wait with no update. Now it appears I have been escalated (we shall see) but I am concerned for others that may not be aware of what to do in order to get this addressed. Can you reach out to Ford and see how/what their plan is to communicate and support impacted parties? issue occurs when driving anything over 45 mph and to resolve you must slow to below 25 mph. Think of this occurring when on highway and having limited control of a 1 ton truck. Issue occurs at random times so there is no way to avoid it. Occurred many times first time was back in early 2019
