WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW EXPLODED INSIDE OF THE CAB. WE HAD OUR DOGS WITH US LYING IN THE BACK THE GLASS FLEW INTO THE BACK AND EVEN DOWN OUR CLOTHES. NOTHING HIT THE TRUCK. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT AS MUCH GLASS OUT OF THE CAR. IT LANDED EVERYWHERE. IT WAS VERY SCARY. THE PHOTO BELOW IS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT. THE GLASS BLEW DOWN MY SHIRT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCE A SEVERE AND HORRIFYING 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN MY STEERING WHEEL, AT WHICH TIME THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IT AND FORCES ME TO APPLY MY BRAKES IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND HAPPENS OFTEN. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. NOBODY APPEARS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE CAR WHEN I WENT OVER AN OVER PASS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND IT TRIGGERED THE DEATH WOBBLE WHICH WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. IT NOW HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES AND I REFUSE TO EVEN HAVE A PASSENGER INTO THE TRUCK. IF ANYONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH OUT DOUBT

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 64 -66 MPH WHEN IT WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VOILENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH SO HARD I COULD BARELY GAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I FINALLY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE SHAKING AND STERRING WHEEL SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY 70 MILE PER HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF HITTING THE BRAKES SO SUDDENLY TO TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND I TURNED AROUND AND WE WENT DIRECTLY BACK AND HAD THEM PUT IT INTO THE SHOP TO DETERMINE WHAT REPAIRS THAT WERE NEEDED. THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE INSPECTED BY THEIR MECHANIC AND NECESSARY REPAIRS DETERMINED.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HWY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH WHEN I DROVE OVER A SMALL BUMP. IMMEDIATELY THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE FRONT END OF TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I NEARLY RAN OFF THE ROAD SURFACE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY TO MAKE IT STOP, FORCING VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO REACT TO AVOID A COLLISION.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2014 FORD F-250 SUPERDUTY WITH 142,000 MILES BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD BARELY REACHED 45-50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE SHAKE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO THROW MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY SLOWDOWN AND PULL THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD THEREAFTER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVABILITY OF THIS TRUCK AND HAVE RAISED A CONCERN WITH FORD AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE TRUCK.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I40, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD, I CROSSED A BRIDGE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY ROTATE SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING THE TRUCK (DEATH WOBBLE). THE STEERING WHEEL BRUISED MY RIGHT HAND AND STRETCHED MY ELBOW LIGAMENTS. LUCKILY THE TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS BESIDE ME AND THE ONE BEHIND ME SAW MY 4 WAY LIGHTS AND BACKED OFF. SHOWING DOWN TO 45 MPH ENDED THIS ISSUE. THE FRONT SUSPENSION IT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE STARTED EXPERIENCING A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. AFTER RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL ALIGNMENT CENTER HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS COMMON ON THE 2019 F250. HE SAID THIS IS PART OF THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM IN THE F250. FOLLOWING THE RESEARCH AND HAVING RIGHT AT 100K MILES IT'S DISHEARTING THAT FORD IS IGNORING A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECT. IT'S HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. 55 TO 75MPH FORD SENT ME A RECALL ON THE STEERING STABILIZER. BUT AFTER INSPECTION MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT. TIE RODS AND OTHER COMPONENTS LIVE A SHORTENED LIFE. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT HE DOES THIS REPAIR OFTEN FOR A LOCAL COMPANY BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT WARRANTY IT.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRACK BAR COMING LOOSE AND CAUSING SPEED WOBBLE. I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES. NOW I'M AT ABOUT 41,000 MILES AND IT'S REALLY LOOSE AGAIN. IT CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SOMETIMES LOSE CONTROL. IT HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY WHEN ONLY GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR. HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED VIBRATING OUT OF CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOW WAY DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE FORD DEALER CAN'T GET ME IN FOR REPAIR UNTIL JANUARY 12TH, 2021.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 60 MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE KNOW AS DEATH WOBBLE. AFTER HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START TO OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW 40 MPH. YOU LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ARE UNABLE TO STEER. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 7 TIMES STARTING AROUND 15000 MILES.

WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. HAPPENED TWICE. JUST HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, HOPE FOR THE BEST AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. ON THE WAY FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA, IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA. TRUCK AGAIN IS SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND NO CONTROL OF STEERING. THE SUPPOSED FIX DID NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. WITH A SUDDEN INABILITY TO STEER, THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE' ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS @47,000 ON IT. IT HAS BEEN IN A FORD AUTHORIZED REPAIR CENTER THREE TIMES AND THE ISSUE HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED. EVERY TIME THE WOBBLE HAPPENS AT 65-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT USUALLY HAPPENS DURING A TURN WHILE HITTING A BUMP. TWICE I HAVE NEARLY LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

STEERING
DEATH WOBBLE. SECOND COMPLAINT. TRUCK WORKED ON 2 MONTHS A AGO ($600). WOBBLE RETURNED WITH A VENGEANCE. MAYBE 2,000 ADDITIONAL MILES ON TRUCK. 82,000 MILES CURRENTLY. ON FREEWAY, SPEED 55-65 MPH. HIT A CRACK IN THE ROAD ( NOT A POTHOLE OR ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT ). STEERING WHEEL SHOOK BACK AND FORTH 3-4 INCHES. NOISY, HOOD SHAKING STRONGLY. AGGRESSIVE BRAKING TO BELOW AROUND 40 MPH TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE. HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN 3 MILES. DROVE HOME AT 35 MPH. I WASN'T TOO POPULAR WITH THE REST OF THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE I25 SURFACE IN THAT AREA IS CONCRETE WITH THE OCCASIONAL CRACK IN THE SURFACE. SCARY AS CAN BE.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 78 MPH (SPEED LIMIT 80 MPH) ON I-80 BETWEEN SALT LAKE CITY, UT AND WENDOVER, NV, I WENT OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD ON A TURN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN MY LANE THROUGH THE TURN. THE SHAKING CONTINUED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO AROUND 20 MPH. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAFFIC AROUND ME I AM CONVINCED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. MY WIFE, 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND NEW BORN SON WAS IN THE VEHICLE. I SEARCHED NHTSA FOR A SAFETY RECALL ON THE STEERING FOR FORD SUPERDUTY PICKUPS BUT FOUND NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF THIS IS NOT A RECALL WORTHY SAFETY ISSUE THEN I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS TRUCK TO SAFELY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE WELL AND IT HAS ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START OSCILLATING WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (APPROXIMATELY 65-75). THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START VIBRATING AND WILL TURN INTO WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE OSCILLATING IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 20-30 MPH. THE OSCILLATING HAPPENED WHEN HITTING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST UNEVEN PATCH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AS WELL AS LOCAL HIGHWAYS. SOME OF THESE ROADS HAVE VERY RECENTLY BEEN RECONDITIONED. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER VEHICLES OR TOWING, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY TO AVOID A WRECK AS THE OSCILLATION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO WANT TO MOVE OFF TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE FRONT END WOBBLE UPON HITTING ROUGH PAVEMENT ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 70-75 MPH. THE WOBBLE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-6 SECONDS AND CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY GRADUALLY REDUCING SPEED. STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONAL DURING THE WOBBLE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES (OCTOBER 2019) THE VEHICLE WAS TOWING A TRAILER. THE LAST TWO TIMES (DECEMBER 2020) THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAB AND A FEW PIECES OF LUGGAGE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. IN MAY 2020 FORD INSTALLED A STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THAT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND FOLLOWING THE DECEMBER 2020 INCIDENTS, SUBSTANTIAL FRONT-END REPAIRS WERE REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36K MILES ON IT.
