VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING 50+ MPH AND IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE DECELERATION UNTIL THE SHAKING SMOOTHES OUT ENOUGH TO SAFELY RESUME DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS POSES AN EXTREME RISK OF HAVING OR CAUSING A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION. *TR

THE TRUCK WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY WHIP BACK AND FORTH AND THE ALL YOU CAN DO IS GET THE TRUCK STOPPED.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 60MPH ON HIGHWAY 95 FROOM MASS TO MAINE AND BACK THE NEXT DAY. I EXPERIENCED A FRIGHTENING SHAKING OF TH ENTIRE FRONT END 6 TIMES. IT WOULD HAPPPEN AFTER I HIT A SMALLL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IN CAR FORUM I REALIZED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND CAN EASILY CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENT MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 13500 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 FORD F-250 WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 72 MILES/HR. I WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS SLAM ON BRAKES AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER TO GET IT TO STOP. I INSPECTED THE TRUCK BUT FOUND NOTHING OBVIOUS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD "THIS IS COMMON, WE CALL IT PORPOISING". THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. I HAVE NOW SPENT ALMOST $1000 DOLLARS ON A NEW ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR, PREMIUM SHOCKS AND A DUAL STEERING STABILIZER TO TRY AND REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT WITHOUT NHTSA INTERVENTION.

TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING OCCASIONALLY BEFORE END OF WARRANTY. SOMETIMES FROM A NOTICEABLE BUMP SOMETIMES FOR NO CLEAR REASON. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION BUT TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. IT GOT WORSE TO THE POINT WE DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE MUCH AS IT BECAME ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE AND HAPPENS SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY. ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC WITH OUR GRANDDAUGHTERS IT WAS ALL WE COULD DO TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHO HAVE REPLACED MOST OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, BRAKES, AND NEW TIRES...AGAIN. WE HAVE PUT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO REPAIRS WITH FORD UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE, REPAIR, OR EVEN ADMIT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. UNSAFE FOR ANYONE. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE VEHICLES AND WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO USE THEM. HOW CAN YOU NOT ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE? SEE DEATH WOBBLE VIDEOS ONLINE. THE TRUCK SHAKES SO HARD ONE MECHANIC WHO TEST DROVE OURS WONDERED HOW ALL THE GLASS WASN'T BROKEN OUT OF IT. WE DO HAVE PROOF OF MULTIPLE REPAIRS TRYING TO MAKE THE TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN.

TRACTION CONTROL BAR. ALLOWS THE TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. SEVERAL PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SAY IT STARTED ON THERE VEHICLE AT 30K TO 40K. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT THE INTERNET AND CUSTOMERS ARE. I AM AFRAID SOME WILL GET HURT BADLY BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN DO WHEN THIS IS GOING ON IS FIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT AND LET OF THE GAS IS U APPLY THE BRAKE IT WILL SHIMMER EVEN HARDER UNTIL U GET BACK UNDER 60 MPH. FORDS RESPONSE TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAS A 2016 F350 WAS THE VEHICLES WAS NOT MADE TO BE RAN UP AND DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THEY WHERE BUILT TO HAUL AND TOW LOADS. THERE WAS NO WARNING SAYING THESE VEHICLES WHERE NOT FOR EVERY DAY USAGE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 70 IN THE MIDDLE OF DENVER, WE HIT A SMALL EXPANSION JOINT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY I COULDN'T HARDLY KEEP A HOLD OF IT TO STEER. I BEGAN BRAKING AND WHEN I GOT DOWN TO 25 MPH IT STOPPED. MY SPEED WASN'T EXCESSIVE, I WAS DOING THE 65 MPH LIMIT. IT HAS DONE THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" TWICE SINCE THEN, AND NOW I AM APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE. I WILL MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER SOON TO LOOK IT OVER, BUT HONESTLY I DON'T HAVE ANY HOPES TO A REMEDY. I WAS HOPING TO REPORT THIS, AND HOPEFULLY WITH THE MANY OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, FORD MAY HAVE TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS. UNFORTUNATELY, SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO PERISH TO GET ANY ACTION FROM FORD. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 45-65MPH ON HIGHWAY, TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND ENTIRE VEHICLE WILL WOBBLE AND BOUNCE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND ONLY WAY TO REDUCE THE SHAKING EPISODE IS TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND REDUCE SPEED TO BELOW 10MPH. THIS IS A COMMON FORD FRONT END PROBLEM AND IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND OCCURS IN MOST FORD SUPERDUTYS FROM 2005-2020

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH 14000 MILES 3 DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS 40MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON ROAD. THE TRICK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I COMPLETELY STOPPED THE TRUCK. I CALLED SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS A DEATH WOBBLE AND IF THEY REPLACE THE MANUFACTURE PART IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN ABOUT 30K MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
