SUSPENSION
Vehicle drove over small pothole in high speed lane at mile marker 22 on nb i-75, north of cincinnati, lost steering control when vehicle shook side to side violently, had to pull off left sholder, slowing down to 10 mph to regain control. traffic had to avoidme, almost rear ending my vehicle. Speed was apx 70 mph at time of incident, i was in fear for my life. I just had vehicle inspected by certified mechanic, spent 1400 dollars on front end parts replacement and the vehicle continues to do this, must be a design defect and not just a parts wear issue that the cronin ford dealer in harrison ohio stated. this vehicle needs to be recalled by ford before somebody gets killed.

AS I AM TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, USUALLY BETWENN 50-70 MPH AND I GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT THAT IT IS ALMOST UNCONTROLABLE. STEPING ON THE BRAKE SLOWS THE TRUCK DOWN BUT DOES NOT STOP THE SHAKING. IT APPEARS THAT THE TIRES SHAKE BACK AND FORTH, AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT END, SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VERY VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS CONDITION MAY BE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE"

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I experienced a vibration in the front steering and suspension of my 2014 F250 Lariat Super Duty 4X4 after hitting a bump in the road. I was traveling between 45 – 50 miles per hour, hit a bump that cannot be avoided in my lane. On October 28, 2021 after hitting the bump as described above, it started vibrating so violently in the front end I had difficulty controlling it and keep it in my lane to slow it down to about 15 miles per hour to stop the shaking from the front wheels. In all my years of driving, I have never experienced anything like this. I carefully checked my F250 for lose wheels or front-end suspension and slowly drove another 4 miles home and checked it again. Please note, my F250, VIN ID [XXX] only has 54,797 miles on it with 99% being highway miles. It has not been abused and has been regularly serviced by Ford technicians since it was new. I searched the internet to find out what may cause the violent vibration in the frontend and discovered the term for it is “The Death Wobble”. Therefore, on November 2, 2021, I made arrangements with Vancouver Ford located at 6801 N.E. 40th Street, Vancouver, WA 98661 to check out my F250 to determine the cause of this dangerous violent vibration in the front end after hitting a bump driving down the road. Vancouver Ford technician diagnosed the problem as the steering damper and recommended replacement. I authorized the replacement which cost $310.40. Replacing the steering damper is just a band-aid and it will happen again in a few months. What is Ford doing to resolve this that is better than the band-aid.

I own a 2014 Ford F250 Crew Cab 4X4. I have had the "Death Wobble" happen 3 times in the past 4 months. Each time happened while I was driving over 50 MPH on the highway. It feels like the truck is going to fall apart. When it happens I have to slow the truck down to almost a stop to get the wobbling stop. Having to quickly slow down on a highway that is 80 MPH is not only dangerous to myself and my passengers, but to everyone else on the road. There is no warning that it is going to happen, the truck just starts violently shaking. I have not had anyone look at the truck. I rodeo and haul my horse all over Texas with this truck. I am scared to death it will happen while I am pulling my horse trailer. I have no idea what to expect when/if that does happen. How will my trailer respond to the violent shaking? How will my horse respond? I truly believe this issue needs to become a recall from Ford and that they should pay to have the issue fixed. People will get hurt and it could easily cause death to anyone on the road, even if they aren't driving the truck having the Death Wobble.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
While driving 85 MPH in an 85 MPH zone near the 9900 blk of N SH 130 NB a bump in the left hand lane sent the truck into a violent shake. Reducing speed did little to resolve the death wobble. Luckily no traffic was around allowing me to slowly reduce the speed and bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder. Only stopping made the violent wobble stop. Immediately drove to the tire shop and replaced with factory tires. Will have the vehicles front suspension checked by a certified technician.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On August 21,2021 we were about 2 hrs from home meeting some family to visit for awhile my husbandand I are both in our 60's. Just as we were entering Lufin Tx our truck dropped from 60 mph to 30 with no warning. I pulled to shoulder of the road and truck completely died. If we had been on an interstate there's a possibility the truck would have died in the middle of the interstate hwy with no way of getting out of traffic. Our truck was towed to Lufkin Ford since we couldn't afford the $ 394.00 to have it towed closer to our home. We were told by Lufkin Ford our P4 high pressure pump had went out, sending metal shards through our motor a $9400.00 repair. To this date our truck has not been repaired because there's a problem getting the pump. It seems this is a problem with the high pressure fuel pump in these diesel trucks, cause I was informed there are 6 trucks at this repair shop waiting on the same part so I'm sure this has been an on going problem.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
MICHELIN LTX A/T 2 Size P275 65 R20 I have a 2014 Ford F250 SRW that I bought new in July 2014. The truck has 30,000 miles on it and 20,000 of it was towing a 5th wheel. The truck sits inside next to the 5th wheel when its not being used. I had the original tires on which had about 50% of the tread left. The rear tires are always inflated to 80 PSI before towing. We had 2 blowouts on the rear tires. The first I started feeling a vibration and thought I had a tire going down. No TPMS warnings. I pulled off and when I got below 45 the vibration stopped. The tires were all up and the tire temps were within 10 degrees of each other. So we continued on when I got back on I-75 south above 50, I started feeling the vibration again. I got over to the middle lane thinking maybe it was a pavement issue. Thats when the passenger rear tire blew. That tire was split in the side wall on both sides like the seam let go. Didn't think much of it when within about 50 miles, just south of Lexington the driver side rear tire blew. I got a little vibration that I was thinking that feels just like before the other side blew, but not nearly as much warning (about enough time to let off the gas) Same side wall split, except this also took out part of the tread and damaged the truck. Tire Discounters that was able to get us the same Michelin tires that came on the truck. The manager and his senior tire tech thought the tires were defective and told me to take the old tire and report the DOT number.

STEERING
On interstate highway, hit a bump in the road and vehicle vibrated, shook violently and was difficult to steer. The vehicle had to slowed down to 50 mph from 70 mph to regain control by hard braking. This action put my life at risk in rush hour traffic. I will not drive this vehicle until this issue is resolved. This happened at 7 am in the morning.

The Restraint Control Module (RCM) is bad and needs to be replaced. There are recalls for this same part on other Ford vehicles but not on mine. Maybe there should be if there are numerous other issues with the same type of vehicles.

Def Heater went out. There is a CSB 18M01 but does not cover all years of this vehicle. No reason why this should not cover all SuperDuty models from 2011-2015 F250-F550.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SUSPENSION
HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55+ MPH) CAUSES THE FRONT END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS IF THE FRONT TIRE HAS BLOWN. STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT AS THE FRONT END SHUTTERS. SLOWING WELL BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED BRINGS IT BACK TO A CONTROLLABLE STATE (HAD TO PULL OVER AND COMPLETELY STOP ONCE). EFFECT IS WORSE AS SPEED INCREASES, ABOVE 70 MPH IS NEARLY UNRECOVERABLE.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, WOBBLE, AND BOUNCE OUT OF CONTROL. I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND THE CONDITION GOT WORSE. I ENDED UP IN THE ONCOMING LANE'S DITCH BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO STOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE DURING THIS EVENT I WAS UNABLE TO STEER UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE HEARD FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT FORD SUPER DUTY'S FREQUENTLY HAVE WHAT IS A CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE" AND I WOULD CERTAINLY CONSIDER THIS EVENT TO BE THE SAME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH SEVERE SHAKING OCCURS AND THE TRUCK BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW 45 MPH. THE TRUCK'S STEERING DOES NOT RESPOND AND CANNOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. AT THIS POINT I CAN ONLY DRIVE THE TRUCK AT SPEEDS AT OR BELOW 45 MPH. THE ISSUE OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY DURING THE DAY. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS 52 DEGREES AND THERE WAS NO RAIN. THE ROAD AREA I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH WAS KNOWN FOR UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE AND COULD CAUSE SOME SHAKING IN THIS TRUCK AND IN OTHER VEHICLES I'VE DRIVEN BUT NEVER TO THIS EXTREME. THE SEVERE SHAKING STARTED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS AT 65 MPH (70 MPH ZONE) AND BRAKING ALSO BECAME DIFFICULT. I HAD TO KEEP OFF THE GAS AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW ITSELF TO A STABLE SPEED THEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK IS A 2014 FORD F-250 WITH APPROXIMATELY 109400 MILES ON IT. THE AUTO SHOP I WILL TAKE IT TO TOMORROW SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND THAT I SHOULD REPORT IT.
