UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have noticed my F250 which I bought brand new and just noticed this issue had just over 29,000 miles on it that the steering was getting loose. A few thousand miles ago I noticed when I drove over a bump in road or pothole the steering shakes some, not normal. Today I have almost 32,000 miles on it, steering very loose, 19% steering turn does not respond and when I hit a bump it scares me as the steering wheel shakes very violently up and down and steers left and right and swerves into next lane on its own. It is very bad now and I am scared to drive it. It is my daily driver ad I have no other choice. I work for the Department of Defense US ARMY TACOM. This truck should be recalled and repaired immediately before somebody gets seriously hurt or worse, dies from this steering issue. Please let me know how you can assist.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
The truck has has a vibration from the rear of the vehicle coming from either the drive shaft or within the rear end assembly. The vibration begins at 67 mph and goes away at 70 mph, comes back at 72 mph and goes away at 75 mph and then comes back at 77 mph. I have not driven the truck beyond the third vibration speed. My concern is that something mechanical has a problem and there is no way to determine when and to what degree it will fail. Extensive testing has been done by the Ford Dealership with the assistance of Ford technical and they as yet cannot determine the cause. Furthermore, Ford and the Dealer do not wish to try any further to find the cause. The Dealers solution was to tell Ford to buy the truck back. Fords solution was to offer and extended warranty. I travel across wide expanses of desert in Arizona and California. If the truck fails while crossing the desert, I would be in a serious health jeopardy.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 35-45 MPH, the vehicle hit a bump and he heard abnormal sounds coming from underneath the vehicle. The contact stated upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection, he was informed that the body mount bushings that hold the cab to the train and cushion the road and the engine vibrations from the body were detaching from the frame. The contact stated that the vehicle was not repaired, and the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a second inspection and the dealer diagnosed that the body mount bushings had detached from the frame. The dealer informed the contact that he would be responsible for the cost of the repair because the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Severe steering wheel oscillation and front end shake after crossing over bridge expansion joints or rough road surface at speeds of 50 to 70 mph. This occurred on highway and caused the truck to begin to drift into adjacent lane. Unable to quickly reduce speed because of semi truck and additional vehicles immediately behind my vehicle -- shaking stopped after reducing speed to approximately 40-45mph. Truck was taken to dealer and track bar was replaced, however problem has not been resolved and reoccurred on the first trip back on the highway. Truck is currently schedule to be serviced again by dealer.

I have experienced the death wobble several times over the last month. I went to the dealership and asked them to check the suspension (tie rods, shocks, etc) and they said nothing was wrong. From 40-70 mph, if I hit the smallest bump or uneven spot in the road, the entire front end shakes so bad I can hardly stay on the road.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
On our most recent trip, our Ford truck a 2007 F250 model experienced what is called the death wobble, where the front shakes violently. Which occurs in speeds of 70 or higher, when it hits a bump the front end shakes violently. It has happened in the past when we were on vacation. The dealer could not find the cause. It is now at the dealer again, to see what can be done. There is a known class action suit filed in 2019. For Ford F250 & F350 models from 2005 to 2019. Ford knew about it but did not inform any owners. We are wanting to get this on record so you can monitor Ford to see what they are doing about it. It is a shame that people pay big bucks for the trucks and Ford won't tell owners about it or find a true fix. We are also going to file on the class action suit that is out there. PLEASE MAKE FORD ACCOUNTABLE, TO SAVE LIVES

I first noticed the extreme wobble going 65 mph on the highway. I almost lost control of the truck due to the extreme wobbling sensation after hitting a small bump. I have driven over the same bump in other vehicles with no issue whatsoever. I am now noticing that the problem is getting worse happening at speeds as low as 25 mph traveling on regular streets. I scheduled an appointment at the dealer to have this issue addressed they can’t get me in for almost 3 weeks. This could be a extremely dangerous issue that should have been addressed from the manufacturer. The whole truck shakes and the steering wheel violently moves left and right on its own.

Steering wheel shakes violently after hitting bump on highway. Vehicle is extremely difficult to control until reducing speed significantly. Have seen many other reports referring to this as death wobble. No warning or unusual conditions. Has happened numerous times, beginning about a year after purchasing the truck. It is getting progressively worse.

My 2019 Ford has done the "death wobble" as its known 3 times in the last month. It shakes so violently when you go over a bump in the road that you must immediately pull off the road and the cars behind you must swerve to miss you because you have to stop and pull over to make it stop. The last time it did it on 9/10/2021 my arms literally hurt from the the terrible shaking. Another time on 9/7/2021 I had my 2 grandchildren with me and they started to cry because they thought we were in some sort of accident. I have 52,000 miles on it and am afraid to drive it.

After hitting a bump or bridge on the highway, the vehicle shakes dangerously and uncontrollably. It has happened since I bought it but I could control it by slowing down significantly. It got worse over time. It has steered me out of my driving lane. I took it to the Ford dealership for inspection and repair. About 6 months later it started happening again. It is currently very severe. Today was the latest occurrence.
