STEERING, SUSPENSION
RUNNING AT 70 MPH. HIT A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE VEHICLE STARTED A FRONT END OSCILLATION THAT WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT. I HAD TO RAPIDLY REDUCE SPEED AND STRUGGLED WITH DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. AT 30 MPH THE OSCILLATING QUIT. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND TRAFFIC HAD TO BRAKE HEAVILY AND SWERVE AROUND ME TO AVOID COLLISION. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY. FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES, BUT PARTS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE BACK ORDERED AND THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE TO GET THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE JUST HIT 25K MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

A/C CONDENSER DAMAGED BY ROAD DEBRIS PER LOCAL FORD DEALER AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $995.00. THE GRILLE HAS LARGE HOLES IN IT THAT I CAN PUT MY HAND AND FOREARM THROUGH ON EACH SIDE OF THE FORD EMBLEM WHICH IS ALLOWING ROAD DEBRIS TO DAMAGE THE RADIATORS. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID THEY HAD OTHER FORD F-250'S COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ALSO ANOTHER ONE WHERE A BIRD WENT THROUGH ONE OF THESE LARGE HOLES AND TOOK OUT ANOTHER GUYS RADIATOR. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT / ERROR THAT WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND END UP COSTING THE CONSUMER ALOT OF MONEY TO FIX. THE FORD DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT WHEN I GET IT FIXED I NEED TO PUT A METAL SCREEN BEHIND THE GRILLE OR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON MY PICKUP NOW AND HAVE OWN CHEVY PICKUPS WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGE A A/C CONDENSER OR A RADIATOR.

STEERING
WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, AND I HIT A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN EXPANSION JOINT, MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES WHAT'S CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN YOUR HANDS, YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SLOW DOWN AND WAIT FOR IT TO STOP. NOT VERY SAFE WHEN YOU'RE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED WAS NOVEMBER OF 2019, 29400 MILES. THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS UNTIL JANUARY TO PUT ON MY TRUCK. THE PART IS JUST A STEERING DAMPER, WHICH IS A BAND-AID FOR THE OVERALL ISSUE. NOW MY TRUCK IS DOING IT AGAIN(62,900MIKES), 9 MONTHS AFTER REPAIR.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY 2019 F-250 TRUCK HAS STARTED SHAKING WHEN REACHING SPEEDS AROUND 50 MPH. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTS RATTLING AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS JOLTING BACK AND FORTH AT A RAPID PACE CAUSING YOU TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS ON WELL PAVED ROADS, HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. WHEN SEARCHING FOR WHAT THE CAUSE MAY BE FOR THIS ISSUE, I FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS ABOUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS DEFINITIONS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS OCCURRING WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE 2019 TRUCK FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. I DID BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TRUCK SO HOPEFULLY FORD WILL HONOR IT AND FIX IT CORRECTLY SO I CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT AGAIN.

WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 58MPH ON CITY ROADS OR INTERSTATE A SLIGHT VIBRATION STARTS AND TURNS INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE IN FRONT TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL. NO WAY TO POWER THRU THE VIBRATION YOU HAVE TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP AT TIMES FOR WOBBLE TO STOP.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY GOING SPEEDS BETWEEN 55MPH AND 80MPH. THESE VIOLENT WOBBLES CAUSE ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND THE WOBBLE DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL I REACHED SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-30MPH. THE WOBBLE JERKS YOUR STEERING WHEEL AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND IN SOME CASES THE WOBBLE THROWS THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE AND YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU REACH THE SLOWER SPEEDS. THE WOBBLE STARTED AFTER EITHER 1. RIDING OVER A NORMAL BUMP OR SLIGHTLY UN LEVEL AREA OF A HIGHWAY 2. HITTING SMALL (LESS THAN 12" DIAMETER) POTHOLES ON THE HIGHWAY, 3. GOING OVER TRAIN TRACKS ON 2 LANE ROADS.

INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHILE GOING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING A RECENT TRIP. REALLY SCARY EVENT WITH MY SON IN THE VEHICLE. TODAY I HIT A POTHOLE WHILE GETTING ON THE ONRAMP TO THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD 2 18 WHEELERS BESIDE ME AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME APPROACHING FAST. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SHOULDER WHILE ALMOST GETTING RAMMED IN THE REAR. SAME DAY I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING 70 MPH AND WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO VIDEO THE INCIDENT. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A STOP FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. 2 TIMES IN THE SAME DAY FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE BUT THE 3 TIME IN A WEEK THAT I HAVE BEEN SCARED TO DEATH I WAS ABOUT TO DIE IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

TRUCK EXPERIENCES 'DEATH WOBBLE' MEANING IT STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) MAKING IT UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS OCCURS MOST OFTEN ON THE FREEWAY. TRUCK HAS ALREADY RECEIVED WHAT FORD SAID REPAIRS THE ISSUE, BUT ISSUE STILL CONTINUES

EMISSIONS CONTROL, I COPIED THIS FROM ANOTHER BECAUSE IT IS MY EXACT SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS BY THE KNOWN ISSUES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED UNDER WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A TSB, I WAS WRONG. WANTED TO CHARGE $281 JUST TO PULL THE CODE EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY DID AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS MY EXACT PROBLEM. IN 2018 FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THEIR DEF HEATERS. THE WARRANT INCLUDED 2011, 2012 F250 THRU F550. THE WARRANT ALSO INCLUDED 2013, 2014, 2015 F 450 AND F 550 BUT EXCLUDED THE F250 AND F 350. IN RESEARCHING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM, I SEE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE 2015 F 250 AND F 350. ALL OF THESE VEHICLES USE THE EXACT SAME 6.7 POWER STROKE DIESEL MOTOR AND I WOULD THINK THE DEF SYSTEMS ARE SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO INCLUDE THE 2013, 2014, AND 2015 F 250 AND F 350 IN THE WARRANTY THEY EXTENDED TO 11 YEARS. I HAVE OWNED TWO 2015 F 250 DIESEL TRUCKS AND BOTH HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DEF SYSTEMS. MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 106,000

EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" MULTIPLE TIMES - BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" YET IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITHIN 30-100 MILES AFTER LEAVING THE SHOP. ONE FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE OUR TRUCK BACK BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE TITLE OF THE ISSUE IS VALID. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU FIX THIS?

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
TRUCK HAS 26,600 MILES, TIRES ROTATED FROM NEW PER MANUAL AT FORD DEALER. TIRE PRESSURES AT SPEC. NORMAL TIRE WEAR. 90% PAVEMENT DRIVEN. ON FAMILIAR TWO LANE PAVED STATE ROAD DURING CLEAR WEATHER WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 70-75MPH UPON HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN OSCILLATING AT A HIGH RATE WITH MY COMPLETE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ROAD HAD A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO MANIPULATE THE TRUCKS DIRECTION CAUSING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE TO LEAVE THEIR LANE INTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID COLLISION. IMMEDIATELY UPON THIS HAPPENING I LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND DID NOT APPLY THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL FURTHER WITH A VEHICLE ONCOMING. ONCE THE VEHICLE PASSED I FIRMLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND UPON SLOWING TO ABOUT 40-45MPH THE TRUCK SELF CORRECTED AND I REGAINED FULL CONTROL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOW 3-5 DEGREES OFF CENTER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK WHEN DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK EXHIBITED THE WOBBLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-75MPH AFTER HITTING MINOR POTHOLES AND BRIDGE APPROACHES AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN A NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERS SERVICE ADVISOR SAID I HAD EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPNER AND RE-ALIGN THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS IS THE TOTAL SOLUTION AND I AM VERY SKEPTICAL OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER ROAD I AM NOT SURE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME.

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES AND OUT OF NO WERE IT STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS SOON AS A BUMP OR BRIDGE CONECTION WAS HIT THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE WOULD INCREASE TO A POINT WERE YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO BE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. DUE TO THIS I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING THE CENTER BARRIER ON A FREEWAY AFTER NEARLY LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETLY. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A SMALL VIBRATION AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER ON THE WARRANTY AND OUT OF MY POCKET THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND IT HELPED BUT WAS STILL GETTING A VIBRATION AND NO MORE THAN A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALMOST TOOK ME OUT OF THE ROAD. IM NOT AURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT IT HAS TO GET CORRECTED.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN E-470 NEAR SOUTHLANDS MALL, WHEN WE HIT A BRIDGE JOICE FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A POT HOLE. THIS SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSED OUR 2019 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY LARIAT WITH A LITTLE OVER 27K MILES, TO BEGIN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, TO WHERE WE HAD TO SLOW TO 20 MPH AND VEER FOR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OR RISK BEING PROPELLED INTO THE NEIGHBORING VEHICLE. COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS TO SEE THIS OUT OF A NEW TRUCK. SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF US. AND WE CONSISTANTLY TRAILER HORSES , IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE WE WERE TRAILER OUR HORSES?? OH MY GOD.

OUR 2019 F250 FIRST EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MARCH OF 2020 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. WE THEN HAD "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCUR FOR THE SECOND TIME OCTOBER 2020, ONCE AGAIN DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. HERE WE ARE IN NOVEMBER 2020, TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE DAMPER REPLACED AGAIN AND WE ARE EXPERIENCING "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR THE THIRD TIME. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT LEAST AT 70-75 MPH. WE CALLED FORD AFTER THE SECOND TIME AND WERE TOLD WE HAD TO HAVE THE ISSUE OCCUR 3 TIMES BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING.

I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN OREGON AND AS I CROSSED ONTO A BRIDGE ON THE GRANDE RONDE RIVER AT ABOUT 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN AND REGAINED CONTROL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN REPAIRED FOR THAT ISSUE. THE TRUCK HAD FEWER THAN 27,000 MILES AND THE DAMPENER HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE.

MARCH 2020 MY FORD F-250SD WITH 27,000 MILES BEGAN HAVING THE DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE STEERING REQUIRING ME TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY TO STOP AND GAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. FORD REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER WITH THEIR RECALL, WHICH LASTED APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE RETURNING, WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THIS TIME IT REQUIRED ME TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP IN THE MEDIAN AREA OF THE HIGHWAY, WHICH CAUSED TRAFFIC TO SWERVE AWAY FROM HITTING ME. I WENT BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD DO NOTHING ELSE TO CORRECT IT. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED ON MY TRUCK WHICH NOW HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.

MY 2014 F250 HAS SINCE AROUND 80K MILES HAD AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE WHEN AT LOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS HITTING EVEN THE SMALLEST BUMP IN THE ROAD. AFTER MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS AND TIRE CHANGES MY DEALER ADMITTED THAT ITS KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND I NEED TO DO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS THAT ARE VERY COMMON. I AM AT 140K NOW AND THEY FINALLY ADMITED THAT ITS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM
