THIS TRUCK HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS IN THE INTERNET AS DEATH WOBBLE, I GOT THE VEHICLE RECENTLY FROM A DEALER WITH NO INFO ON THE MANNER. THE TRUCK LOSES CONTROL BRIEFLY WHEN OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE FRONT TIRES DRIVE THROUGH SMALL HOLES OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD, MORE COMMON ON THE HIGHWAY. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, TBIS SPECIFIC INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR, LOST CONTROL BRIEFLY, HAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK DOES NOT WORK, I DON'T THINK IT EVER HAS. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE OVER THE YEARS AND IT QUICKLY QUIT BOTH TIMES. IT FEELS LIKE NORMAL RESISTANCE WHEN YOU PUSH IT IN WITH YOUR FOOT, AND DOES A NORMAL CLUNK AND RELEASE WHEN YOU RELEASE IT, BUT IT DOES NOT AT ALL HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE. IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR THIS TO NOT WORK. AN EXAMPLE, THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH REGULARLY IS HOOKING UP TO A TRAILER. I NEED TO GET OUT TO SEE HOW CLOSE I AM AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN GEAR (ONLY REVERSE WILL HOLD IT, THE OTHER GEARS WILL SLIP AND THE TRUCK WILL ROLL) AND TURN IT OFF TO GO LOOK.

STEERING
DEATH WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. REQUIRES IMMEDIATE SLAM ON BREAKS TO STOP. HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS 50 MPH TO 70 MPH ON ANY STREET SURFACE. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AND OCCURRED EVERY TIME DRIVEN UNTIL WARRANTY DEPARTMENT REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER. IT TOOK 3 WEEKS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT STABILIZER. SECOND OCCURRENCE OCCURRED AT 13,000 MILES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND IS IN BACK IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR CURRENTLY. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
ON JULY 3, 2020 AT 7:10 AM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 F250 WITH 14,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AS THE PROBLEM IS KNOW. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PATCH ON I45 SOUTH IN HOUSTON,TX. AND MY VEHICLE'S STEERING WENT VIOLENTLY WRONG. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE AS IF MY FRONT LEFT TIRE FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I APPLIED LIGHT BRAKING AS MY VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VEERED RIGHT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS BESIDE ME. LUCKILY THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND LET ME INTO THEIR LANE WITHOUT CREATING AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM COLLIDING INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER ALONG THE FEEDER ROAD. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A BIT OF AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING BUT ONLY THOUGHT IT WAS A STOUT SUSPENSION IN BEING A 4X4 F250 DIESEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE SEEMS TO IN THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND ALIGNMENT FROM THE FACTORY.

THIS IS A NEW 2019 FORD 250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. IN FEBRUARY 2019 TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75 MPH( ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY) & I HIT A GROOVE AND MY FRONT END WENT IN TO A HORRIBLE HEAVY HEAD SHAKE.IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT THIS WAS THE WORST BY FAR. IN DALLAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS HEAD SHAKE IS BY HITTING THE BRAKES HARD. TO DO THAT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC ON ALL SIDES IS HORRIFYING. TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD AND THERE IS A DAMPER RECALL (AMONG OTHERS). THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER. THESE DAMPERS ARE NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A GOLF CLUB. ARE NOT MADE OR RATED TO SUPPORT A TRUCK WITH OVER A 10,000 LB WEIGHT LIMIT. NOW HERE WE ARE IN JULY AND ITS BACK IN THE SHOP. SINCE MARCH THERE HAS BEEN 2/3 MORE UPGRADES TO THIS DAMPER. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG HEAD SHAKE? IT RUINED OTHER THINGS CONNECTED TO DAMPER (DRAG LINK/BUSHING). EVEN WITH THIS NEW UPGRADED DAMPER THEY EXPECT IT'LL BE BACK IN. THEY OFFER A AFTER MARKET " DUAL-DAMPER" (700$) THAT SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND IT SHOULD COME WITH SUPER DUTY PARTS!!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT THEMSELVES AND OR OTHERS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. TRUCK SHOULD BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW, I CALLED CORPORATE TO TRY AND GET THE DUAL DAMPER APPROVED AND I AM ON HOLD. SO AS IT STANDS THIS WILL BE THE 3RD DAMPER THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE GETTING IT IN OCTOBER 2019.

STEERING
MY TRUCK SUFFERS FROM THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS USUALLY TRIGGERED BY HITTING A BUMP, POTHOLE OR DIP IN THE ROAD. USUALLY OCCURS WHEN GOING FULL SPEED (50-75 MPH). THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD, NEARLY TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I NOTE IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN TIRES HAVE MORE WEAR ON THEM. RARELY HAPPENS WITH NEW TIRES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH RATTLE/WOBBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2019. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND SO DOES THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE SUSPENSION, STEERING WHEEL OR THE WHEELS THEMSELVES. WHEN I GO OVER 25 MILES AN HOUR AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD I EXPERIENCE THIS RATTLING. ALSO I HEAR THE RATTLING BELOW THE ENGINE LIKE A LOOSE MUFFLER WHEN I GO OVER THIS SPEED.

VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE & WOBBLE AFTER CROSSING AN OVER PASS, POTHOLE, OR ANY KIND OF BUMP AT SPEED. TRUCK IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNSAFE TO TRAVEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR TOWING OF ANY KIND. DEALER ADMITS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR CONDITION HAS BEEN PERFORMED. PROBLEM PERSIST, CLEARLY THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING 70-75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY F250 TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING (AKA THE "SHAKE OF DEATH" OR "DEATH WOBBLE") AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. I ALMOST CRASHED. ALL MY BELONGINGS IN MY TRUCK WERE ALL OVER. THE VEHICLE ALMOST FLIPPED. ITS A MIRACLE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT ALIVE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY "FIXED" THE "DAMPER ASY". FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MANY CUSTOMERS. DOING RESEARCH I REALIZE HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS AND INJURIES PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM ON THE SAME YEAR FORD TRUCKS, THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT'S BEEN PENDING FOR A WHILE APPARENTLY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THESE TRUCKS BEFORE TRAGEDY HAPPENS! *TR
