My vehicle constantly experiences the death wobble meaning front end suspension experiences violent shaking making it difficult to stay the course and won't stop till vehicle comes to a lower speed but imagine I'm going 75 it takes along time to slow down and very scary

While on a ramp to merge onto a highway, slightly downhill, a small ripple in the pavement joint caused the front wheels and steering wheel to shake violently and nearly lost control of the vehicle. Was traveling at approximately 40-50mph and could not steer the truck and the out of control shaking did not stop until I was able to slow to maybe 5-10mph. I was towing a trailer and if I had not been on a wide roadway late at night, going straight with little traffic around me, it's very likely I would have had a serious accident. The truck has 40,000 miles on it and tires etc are in good condition as this is a federal government owned and maintained vehicle. I see no recalls or service bulletins for the vin, but found hundreds of complaints online of the exact situation and referred to as out of control "death wobble". This is a serious issue and people will very likely be in serious and fatal accidents if not already.

Steering stabilizer or dampener is not functioning. Experiencing death wobble on freeway every 2 miles when driven over 50. Have reported before and ford refused to fix it because they couldn-??t repeat it. The stabilizer on this truck has been replaced three times not by ford.

I hit a rather large bump in the road at highway speeds and the steering wheel and whole truck started to shake and wobble extremely violently and i almost lost control. The only way to stop it was to come to a stop.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while his client was driving at slow speeds in a parking area, the vehicle suddenly lost electric power steering functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that the upper steering column shaft bearings were missing and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

- Layton, UT, USA

Steering suspension has been failing over and over for months. Several severe incidents while driving 70+ mph down the road. Complete loss of control of the vehicle, uncontrollable death wobbles. One incident put me in a ditch, while the others were near collisions. First incident - was no longer able to drive above 30mph without sever death wobble. After -??repairs-??, recreated the issue at 75 mph and I-??m unable to drive safely above 35 mph. Ford has confirmed many parts needing replacement but will not take ownership in replacing them. First incident -$5,300. Second incident - nearly $2500. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any notification of failure prior to incident. The entire front end of these vehicles need to be recalled. There is a class action lawsuit for a reason. I-??m unable to sell my truck, or drive it do to costly RECURRING repairs. I-??m fearful for my life in my Ford.

We are trying to make it out of the mountains of Colorado and back home to Missouri. We have the most horrific shaking on our truck. I am scared to death. This "death wobble" is TERRIBLE! I want someone to know now in case we die! We have a horse trailer loaded down with 4 horses and 2 dogs. There should be a recall for this!!!!

Driving down i70 in Colorado and hit a section where there is concrete. One of the cracks in the concrete caused the steering wheel to vibrate uncontrollably until the speed dropped below 50 mph. During the incident braking made the vibration worse and it felt as though the front of the truck was bouncing at a rapid rate. Steering in any direction was nearly impossible. I have a service scheduled to look at this in a few weeks but until then I fear driving as it was a complete loss of control. This happened a few more times on the journey home and seems to be tied to bumps in the road when traveling over 55 mph. This incident happened without warning and did not cause any warning lights to appear. This truck has less than 15k miles on it so I was surprised it would behave this way.

While driving at any speed above 30mph the front end wobbles violently whenever the truck hits potholes or big bumps in the road!

- Milwaukee, WI, USA

Was driving in middle lane eastbound I-84 with cruise control set at 65 mph. Upon a lane bump from paving construction, the truck began a violent shaking, which is consistent with a problem know as "death wobble". slowed down immediately and stopped at side of interstate. Inspected tires, and there was no flat tire. No outward signs of tire damage. Drove at 20-25 mph to next exit. Was able to drive home about 20 miles at slow speed.

I-??ve experienced 3 nearly identical incidents: after driving over bumps in the road or uneven pavement, my F350 went into an uncontrolled wobble, violently shaking, causing total loss of steering control. In each case, the uncontrolled wobble only stopped after I slowed the vehicle to under 15 mph. Because these incidents occurred on major freeways with fast moving traffic, a significant danger was posed to me and my passengers and other drivers. After searching online resources, I read several similar instances of this happening to other F350/250 owners, aka -??the death wobble.-??

08 Apr 2023 vehicle hit a pot hole and we almost went into ditch when it began to wobble uncontrollably. We were traveling on the hwy and almost caused an accident to the vehicles behind us. Very frightening. 16 Apr 2023, hit a small pot hole vehicle began to wobble uncontrollably, took us again almost into the ditch. It occurred four more times trying to get home from airport. We scared traveling in this vehicle now because of these incidents. We are filing an official complaint on Ford.

Traveling at 60-65 mile per hour on interstate freeway, hit a group of small potholes with left wheels. Truck shook as you would expect at first, then began to shake increasingly more violently in the front end. The shaking increased till the front end was bouncing up and down and shaking left to right. The steering wheel shook left and right. I took my foot off the accelerator and coasted to the shoulder and stopped. My passenger's and my safety were put at risk because the truck was difficult to control and slowing down did not bring the situation under control until we got down to about 20 mph. Fortunately we were in the right lane, so we had quick access to the shoulder. I don't know what component failed, but this behaved as if the steering were repeatedly over-correcting for what it saw as a potential spin-out in alternating direction. After the incident the front tires showed wear marks slightly up the sidewalls (about 1 inch) that suggested they had skidded sideways several times. All tires were properly inflated at the time: 61 pounds front, 80 pounds rear. There were no warning lamps or alerts before or after the incident. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealer. No police or insurance representatives were notified since there was not an accident or injuries.
