STEERING, SUSPENSION
2014 F250 DIESEL EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE 'DEATH WOBBLES' WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH AND PASSING OVER EXPANSION JOINT ON BRIDGE OR OTHER LIKE CREVICES. FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS FALLING APART WITH VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING, HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 35 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER AND HAD TO PAY $150.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS. FORD CLAIMS ALL FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS NEED REPLACING AS WELL AS A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 100K MILES ON IT AND IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. IT'S JUST OUT OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FORD ESTIMATES THE REPAIRS AT OVER $1,300.00 WITH NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BY FORD. I'VE OWNED FORD TRUCKS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OF THE PAST SUPER DUTY'S THAT I OWNED.

2014 FORD F250 VIN # [XXX]. THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED 1ST TIME ON 11/3/19 WITH MY SON DRIVING AROUND 10:00 A.M. ON 11/09/19 APPROXIMATELY 11:00 P.M WITH MYSELF DRIVING HOME. WENT OVER A BRIDGE THAT WAS JUST REPLACED THIS SUMMER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME ON ST, RT. 729, SABINA, OHIO 45169. ABOUT 1/2 FROM BURRISTOWN RD. WHICH I TURNED TO THE RIGHT. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR MY TURNOFF AND COMPLETE SHAKING OF THE TRUCK. IT HAS HAD A SHAKE OVER BUMPS AND BRIDGES BUT NOTHING LIKE THE WHOLE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH BEDFORD FORD IN WASHINGTON C.H., 43160 ON WEDNESDAY 11/13/19 TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND TO LOOK AT THE FRONT END.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THREE TIMES WITHIN A WEEK MY TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN, VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE WERE NO BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR ANY KIND OF SUDDEN MANEUVER THAT STARTED THE SHAKING. ALL THREE TIMES IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY TO FORD TRUCKS AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL TRAGEDY THAT APPEARS TO BE DELIBERATELY OVERLOOKED. I HOPE TO SEE A RECALL IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. TRUCK IS VIRTUALLY UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH IDENTIFIES THE PROBLEM AS A WORN OUT DRAG LINK. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH +) MY TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE IF A SMALL BUMP IS HIT. IT LOOSES STEERING CONTROL AND IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO SAFE. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A STOP TO GET THE SHAKING AND OUT OF CONTROL WOBBLE TO STOP.

STEERING
THIS PROBLEM START IN 12/2018. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE. THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IS TO SLOW DOWN AND PULLOVER IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND STOP. THIS OPTION IS SOMETIMES NOT AVAILABLE AND THE SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AFTER SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED MANY, MANY TIMES. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF. MULITPLE PEOPLE HAVE REFERRED TO IT AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AS RECENTLY AS THE PAST WEEK I WAS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ON MONDAY, AUG 26TH PICKED UP TUESDAY, AUG 27TH, DROVE OFF THE LOT, GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEEL SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE SPENT $5,758.87 IN REPAIRS SINCE DECEMBER AND PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. TRIED DOWNLOADING RECEIPTS, DO NOT THINK I WAS ABLE TO DOWNLOAD OFF OF THEM

2014 FORD F250 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP EXPLODED AND SENT METAL THROUGHOUT MY FIELD SYSTEM. WAS DRIVING TO HOUSTON GOING 80 MPH ON IH 10 AND MY TRUCK CAME TO A STOP AND POWER STEERING TURNED OFF SO I COULD BARELY GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. 18 WHEELERS WERE GOING BY ME GOING OVER 80 MPH. WE WERE ALMOST KILLED. WAS LEFT IN 106 DEGREE HEAT FOR OVER 2 HRS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. FORD DEALER IN HOUSTON WHERE IT WAS TOWED (100 MILES) WANTS $14,000.00 TO FIX THE TRUCK.

MY FORD TRUCK TYPICALLY EXPERIENCES THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN TRAVELING MORE THAN 50 MPH AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE TIRES HITS A GROOVE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO CONTROL THE VIOLENT SHAKING IS BY QUICKLY REDUCING SPEED, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AT 40MPH AND ABOVE, THE PICKUP SOMETIMES GOES INTO A VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE OR "DEATH WOBBLE" AS I'VE SEEN IT REFERED TO. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD SUPERDUTY PICKUPS, AND FORD APPARENTLY HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE ON MY 1997 F350 AND MY 2014 F250. AT 45 MPH PLUS, HITTING SOMETIMES IMPERCEPTIBLE BUMPS CAN CAUSE THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING TO DEVELOP A VERY VIOLENT VIBRATION. I ALMOST LOSE CONTROL AND HAVE TO BRAKE VERY HARD TO GET IT TO STOP. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO CRASH OR BE HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN BRAKING. FORD MADE SOME SUSPENSION REPAIRS UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THESE REPAIRS MADE THE PROBLEM MUCH WORSE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AND THEY BLAMED MY TIRES, SAYING THEY ARE ALMOST WORN OUT. I COMPLAINED THAT I SHOULD HAVE SEVERAL THOUSAND MORE MILES ON THESE TIRES AND THERE WAS EITHER A DESIGN PROBLEM OR SOMETHING BROKEN. THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND TOLD ME THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CHANGE MY TIRES. I PUT NEW TIRES ON FOR $1,300 AND I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS LESS SEVERE AND HAPPENS LESS FREQUENTLY, BUT IT IS STILL DEFINITELY THERE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK BUT HAVE NO CHOICE.
