STEERING
Death wobble at approximately 70 mph while cornering to the left and hitting a bump in the road. Front end started to violently shake and shaking was transferred to the steering wheel. I was able to pull to a stop on the side of the road. Got out and checked components on the front end to make sure no loose lug nuts or obvious tire problems. This has happened multiple times and the truck has less than 55,000 miles. All maintenance has been performed by the local Ford dealer at the recommended intervals. The truck is not modified in any way.

It is a common problem that the dual heat in Fords has issues. My heat has stopped working, and I can make it work by turning one side up and one side down, but it still doesn’t heat properly. This has happened to me with other year Ford vehicles, so it’s a problem they apparently aren’t looking to fix. Problem today is that I drove through freezing rain, passenger side iced over, driver side was barely clearing, obvious safety issue.

STEERING
As I was driving this evening on a straight highway at highway speed, my front wheels started to violently shake uncontrollably. I had to apply the brakes to reduce my speed so that I could regain control of the truck. This is not the first time that this has happened but it was the most violent and uncontrollable event. From what information that I can find, this appears to be called the death wobble.

I was on the interstate traveling at or near the posted speed limit of 70 mph. I crossed over an eroding seam on the roadway at which point the vehicle, and steering wheel, began to shake uncontrollably. I pumped the brakes cautiously and kept the vehicle on the roadway. At approximately 50 mph the shaking quit and I was able to continue my trip without any additional issues.

ENGINE, BACK OVER PREVENTION
Ford is aware of an oil separator issue causing failure and sludge build up and has not issued any recalls or information for the consumer. Also, the back up monitoring fails in cold weather due to condensation build up in the lights.

Issue is commonly known as the 'Ford death wobble' where the front end begins shaking violently at highway speeds and does not stop until the vehicle is rapidly slowed down and/or stopped. Control of the vehicle could be lost during this type of event and having to rapidly slow down is a safety issue for other drivers on the road as well. I will be scheduling a service appointment with a dealer, but this issue has been happening widely with Ford trucks for years and is known widely in the Ford owner community.

driving on 2 lane state road ran over a small rough area the truck started shaking badly happened so fast I was in oncoming traffic. I over corrected and went to the other side of road, I stopped the truck. I have been driving for 40 years and never been so shaken. I'm a disabled vet with over 20 years of service to our country. I want to enjoy life by not having a truck manufacturer causing my death or someone elses. I just bought this truck, and now I'm afraid to drive it. thanks truck manufacturer!

STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN AN 8% GRADE HILL, I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND THE STERRING SUDDENLY SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I REGAINED CONTROL AFTER THE VEHCILE SLOWED GOING BACK UP A HILL. THIS WAS TERRIFYING FOR MY FAMILY. I HAD TO DRIVE ANOTHER FIVE HOURS FEARING THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND THEY INSTALLED A STEERING DAMPER SAID TO BE ABLE TO PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE.

We were driving on a highway at about 70 mph when the front of the vehicle began to violently shake as if we blew a tire. We slowed down to about 40 and the shaking abruptly stopped. This is not the first or even the second incident. No one seems to know what causes it or how to fix it.

Hit a pot hole, at 65 mph with the front wheel. The hole truck started shacking violently, and I about loss control. I stood on the brakes, and vibrated into the emergency lane. The whole truck stopped shacking below 45 mph. And was fine coming back up to speed, until I hit another pot hole. Please watch YouTube ford death wobble, ford states there is no problem.

STEERING
Since shortly after purchasing my brand new 2019 F350, I have periodically experienced "death wobble" when traveling over 55mph and hitting bumps. The steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and I must quickly slow down to less than 30mph to regain control of the truck. Ford has replaced the steering stabilizer twice. The second stabilizer was supposed to be the "fix" for this issue. Today it happened again while driving on a rural road at about 55mph. I almost lost control of the truck before I could get it slowed down. I drove it to the dealer and they replaced the steering stabilizer again, but this time I had to cover the cost.

While driving on a highway and hitting a small bump the truck starts shaking violently. It caused me to lose control and almost caused me an accident. This has happened a few times and I’m now afraid to drive it. I have not taken it in for repair since this should be a recall that I should not have to pay for. There is only 10,525 miles on it. This flaw is going to end up getting someone killed. This problem started over a year ago.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED AND I HIT ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE FRONT WHEELS TO HOP. FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10 MPH BEFORE I CAN GAIN CONTROL AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAVE TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. DEALER LOOKED AT MY TRUCK AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK AND I HAVE LESS THAN 13,000 MILES! I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY FORD F350 LET ALONE TOWING ANYTHING WITH THIS JUNK. VERY DISAPPOINTING FORD MOTOR COMPANY HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED SERVERAL SUPER DUTIES AND THIS HAS BEEN MY WORST EXPERIENCE. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER!

Death Wobble is a consistent problem, tried changing the steering damper several times, the actual problem is in the linkage and suspension. Truck was shaking so violently I almost killed someone on the highway. Ford is aware of this problem and has taken no action.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
The vehicle is experiencing a very violent shaking/wobble after hitting a bridge seam or railroad tracks at higher speeds. The violent shaking does not stop until speed is reduced significantly (<40-50 mph). This could be very dangerous in certain situations such as heavy traffic, in a curve, or while towing. The shaking is so violent it certainly puts significant stress on steering components and could eventually cause catastrophic failure and complete loss of steering and control at interstate speed. A brief internet search indicates there are numerous others with this same situation. This truck design has evidently had this issue for many model years. This type of issue should not be occurring to vehicles that are relatively new.
