STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL! I WAS GOING 65 MPH AND I COULD BARLEY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY! BOTH OF MY WRISTS ARE SWOLLEN AND BRUISED AS WELL AS MY RIGHT THUMB. MY NAIL ON MY RIGHT THUMB IS CRACKED AND BRUISED AS WELL AS A RESULT OF HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AS SOON AS I COULD BUT I SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE AND THEN INTO A DITCH. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME, IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE EACH TIME! THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND I WANT JUSTICE. THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 3 SECONDS CLOSER I WOULD HAVE HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION GOING 65 MPH! THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY AND IT IS TERRIFYING! *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS OR BUMPS. COMMONLY REFERRED TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE". TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE THE WOBBLING IS GOING ON. MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AND VERY LITTLE ACTION FROM FORD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED AS A DEFECT LINKED TO ABNORMAL WEAR AND/OR LOOSENING OF THE TRACK BAR BUSHING, DAMPER BRACKET, BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, SHOCKS AND/OR STRUTS. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED BY A PRIVATE SHOP NOT THE DEALER. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I IN MY 2012 F-250 I GET DEATH WOBBLE, THE FRONT TIRES START SHAKING LIKE CRAZY AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES LIKE YOU CAN'T IMAGINE, IT STARTS AROUND 50MPH AND GETS REALLY BAD ABOUT 60-65MPH. I HAVE REPLACED BALL JOINTS,TIE RODS, SHOCKS, WHEEL BEARINGS, STEERING STABILIZER, U JOINTS AND TRACK BAR BUSHING, NONE OF IT FIXED IT. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. IT ABOUT RUNS YOU OFF THE ROAD IT'S SO BAD SOMETIMES AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WAS SPEEDING UP TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED WAY DOWN AND PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND EXITED THE TRUCK. I DID A VISUAL INSPECTION ALL AROUND THE TRUCK AND NOTHING APPEARED BROKEN OR DAMAGED. I GOT BACK IN AND MERGED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASED SPEED. THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION WAS GONE. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD SUPER DUTY OWNERS AND ITS CALLED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE". I CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOO. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2014 FORD F250 PLATINUM DIESEL HAS EXHIBITED DEATH WOBBLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 70 MPH AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO BLAISE ALEXANDER FORD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER AND IT WAS WORSE AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK BACK, THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE TIE RODS AND GAVE IT A FRONT BRAKE JOB, GOT THE TRUCK BACK AND IT WAS EVEN WORSE, THE THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR BOX. STILL NO EFFECT ON THE DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE. I THEN DROVE THE TRUCK WITH THEIR MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE SHOCKS OR THE TIRES OR MAYBE A SPRING OR COIL IS BROKEN. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND FORD NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS TRAVELING ON A COUNTY ROAD AND MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. I HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD PRIOR TO CROSSING A BRIDGE. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I CAME TO A DEAD STOP. I ALMOST HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. I HAVE RESEARCHED WHAT HAPPENED AND I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THIS PARTICULAR SERIES OF VEHICLES. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PAYING TO TRY AND GET THIS FIXED BUT NO ONE PROMISES A FIX. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR CO. I CALLED THEM TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND BASICALLY HUNG UP ON ME. I'M ALSO NOW AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING ON THIS MATTER. HOW DO I INVOLVE MYSELF IN THAT MATTER? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST WHERE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES AND FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BE REAL HARD TO STAY OFF ONE OF THE VEHICLES AT YOUR SIDES OR KEEP FROM CAUSING A PILE-UP BEHIND YOU.*DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF I HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I NEED TO BRAKE HEAVILY TO STOP THE SHAKING. I'VE READ UP ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN DUBBED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND APPARENTLY IS A HUGE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK, SO I AM KEEPING IT OFF THE ROAD FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND THOSE AROUND ME. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT PAVED ROAD AROUND 50 MPH I HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHACK REEL BAD AND THE FRONT END DID THE SAME. I STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND GOT ON THE BRAKES HARD AND REGAINED CONTROL AT ABOUT 40 MPH. IF I WAS TOWING MY BOAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED WE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. I HAVE A WITNESS TO THIS WHO WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ABOVE 40 MPH. *TR

FRONT END "DEATH WOBBLE" 2019 F250 WITH 17000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON 2 LANE ROAD, SLIGHT LEFT CURVE IN THE ROAD AT APPROX 55 MPH, HIT A FROST HEAVY BUMP. CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL. WORSE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. STOPPED ONCE BELOW 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. WENT TO FORD TODAY. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I'M SKEPTICAL THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. FRONT TIRES ARE AT 5/32 FACTORY GOODYEAR. WITH EVEN WEAR. I WILL REPLACE TIRES NEXT. THESE EVENTS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS IT IS A COMBINATION OF CHEAP/WORN PARTS AND POOR QUALITY TIRES. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS WHEN I HAD AROUND 38,000 MIKES ON MY TRUCK. IT WAS SPORADIC AND ONLY A FEW INSTANCES. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP TRUCK ON ROAD WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND PULLING OFF ON THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON/OFF WITHIN NO WARNING. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLYO. APPEARS TO HAPPEN WHEN GOING 60 MILES AND HOUR OR OVER AND WITHOUT WARNING BUT MOSTLY ALWAYS WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE IN MOTION AT 60 TO 65 MPH ON SMOOTH PUBLIC CITY HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY PARTICULARLY IN THE FRONT END. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND ALTHOUGH I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO BRAKE AND ATTEMPT TO KEEP IT FROM THE MEDIAN OR DITCH THE VEHICLE DIDN'T CEASE THE UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING UNTIL I CAME TO A NEAR STOP OFF THE EDGE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT CONTINUES TO FEEL AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO OCCUR ANY MOMENT AGAIN THE REMAINING 20 MILES TO MY HOME. I INTEND ON TAKING IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AS IF WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MYSELF AND WIFE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY. PURCHASED VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AGO.

STEERING
MY TRUCK HAS 25,600 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH I WENT OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE RESULTING SHAKE/OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING CAUSED ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLOW FROM 70 TO 25 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND THOSE ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND OTHER THAN THIS INSTANCE, THE DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRUCK HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE NEW. I.E. THE TRUCK DOES NOT VIBRATE OR WANDER AND EVERYTHING SEEMS NORMAL. TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE HOW VIOLENT THE SHAKING WAS, MY WIFE SCREAMED THAT WE HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT! *TR
