STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE 6 TIMES WITH THIS TRUCK, ALL BETWEEN 65-80 MPH. THE LAST TWO ON 6/12/2020 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MEANS MY TRUCK FRONT END SUSPENSION AND EYEING SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU LITERALLY CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL REDUCTIONS SPEED BELOW 30 MPH. MY TRUCK HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. TODAY WAS THE WORST SOO FAR. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED IN LA TRAFFIC TO 30 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE VERY SOON. HAD I VEERED LEFT, IT WOULD BE HAVE PUT INTO THE CENTER DIVIDE, RIGHT INTO A SEMI. THIS STARTED WHEN MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES. TODAY THE VEHICLE HAS 26K. RECALL THESE VEHICLES! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, BRAKES BARELY WORKED WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT MY TIRES WERE ABOUT TO COME OFF MY TRUCK, THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD THAT ITEMS IN THE SEAT ENDED UP ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE TRUCK. WHILE TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP AND OFF THE INTERSTATE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. *TR

SUSPENSION
I EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2017 FORD F-250. IT IS DANGEROUS AND ALARMING WHEN THIS DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS. ANY SMALL UNEVENNESS IN THE ROAD CAN CAUSE THE TIRES TO START WILDLY WOBBLING. NORMALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 70MPH AND STOPS ONCE SLOWED DOWN TO 40 MPH. VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. YOUR QUESTION BELOW ASK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST A FEW TIMES A WEEK ON IH35. IT IS NOT A SINGLE EVENT - IT HAPPENS OFTEN. *TR

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY F250 WHICH IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WOULD BEGIN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW IMMEDIATELY ALMOST TO A FULL STOP...IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS TWICE. ONCE I RAN OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT WOULD HAPPEN VERY RANDOMLY AND THEN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR DAYS OR WEEKS. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO I GOT SCARED, PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY SAID, BASICALLY, OH, THAT'S THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WE HAVE FIXED TWO OTHERS LIKE THAT. I GOOGLED DEATH WOBBLE TODAY AND THAT IS WHAT MINE DID. SCARY. I'M WORRIED IT WILL CONTINUE. I OWE $60,000ISH ON A WORK VEHICLE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE VIDEO BUT IT IS TOO BIG TO UPLOAD. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS HEADING FROM CIBOLO, TX TO KINGSVILLE, TX. (DISTANCE 181 MILES) UPON ARRIVING AT DESTINATION I SHUT DOWN MY TRUCK. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONNECTED MY OBD READER AND IT IDENTIFIED THE FAULT CODE P21B0 (I DID NOT CLEAR ANY CODES). FROM MY RESEARCH IT RELATES TO THE 'REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR 'C' CIRCUIT HIGH'. AFTER RESEARCHING MORE INFORMATION I STARTED LOOKING THROUGH THE INFORMATION CENTER UNDER THE VEHICLE SETTING AND NOTICED THE DEF LEVEL WAS BELOW HALF (I NEVER GOT A POP UP OR NOTIFICATION FROM THE INFORMATION CLUSTER). IN THE PAST THE INFORMATION CLUSTER WOULD DISPLAY THE LEVEL NOTIFICATION WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THIS TIME IT DID NOT. I PURCHASED SOME DEF AND FILLED THE TANK. IT ONLY TOOK TWO GALLONS OF DEF. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE REST OF THE DAY DRIVING AROUND AFTER FILLING THE DEF TANK AND THE DEF 'BELOW HALF' NOTIFICATION ALSO REMAINED ON. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE DEF 'BELOW HALF' NOTIFICATION WAS GONE. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE! FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS PHENOMENON BY CHANGING OUT SHOCKS, SWAY BARS, STEERING BOX ETC., THIS PAST SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH, WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT END WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE (DEATH WOBBLE) WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND MOVED OFF THE ENTRANCE TO THE HIGHWAY FINALLY GETTING THE FRONT END UNDER CONTROL. FORD HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYING EVEN HE CAN'T GET FORD TO HELP RESOLVE THIS PHENOMENON. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2019 F250 HAS 21,000 MILES. I PURCHASED IT USED, AND HAVE HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN 2 FAMILY TRIPS ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS- I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' 4 TIMES. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TWICE IN 50 MILES OF INTERSTATE DRIVING. AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH, WHICH IS THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. WHILE DRIVING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT NEAR A BRIDGE OVERPASS, WHICH IS A MILD BUMP, THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE CAB SHAKES VIOLENTLY. EVERYTHING. BACK AND FORTH LATERALLY. IT'S EXTREMELY LOUD. THE TRUCK IS BARELY ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. I HAVE TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AS SOON AS I CAN, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WHILE IN A PANIC SITUATION. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND ACCELERATING AGAIN, DOES THE WOBBLE STOP. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT AND HIT IT WITH BOTH TIRES AT THE SAME TIME, NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S ONLY WHEN THE JOINT IS CONTACTED AT AN ANGLE. WHEN ONE TIRE HITS, THEN THE NEXT, IS WHAT CREATES THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IS DRIVING AT 55MPH, WHICH IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL. *TR
