DEATH WOBBLE / SEVERE SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 70 MPH AND HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE PAVEMENT AT A BRIDGE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND STEERING SYSTEM AND WHATEVER ELSE IT TAKES TO FULLY RESOLVE. PEOPLE WILL GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 F250 IN JANUARY AND NOTICED AROUND 65 TO 70 MPH THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING BACK AND FORTH I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE STABILIZER SHOCK STATING THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THEM FOR THIS ISSUE. THE TRUCK STILL SHAKES AT 65 TO 70 MPH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX WHAT FORD WILL TELL THEM TO FIX. THIS TO ME IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT THESES SPEEDS A PERSON COULD LOOSE CONTROL AND WRECK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2019 FORD F250 HAS A DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DRIVING ON 3/22/2020 AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THE TRUCK IS 8 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 50 MPH. THIS WOBBLE WAS VIOLENT, AND IF I HADN'T SLOWED DOWN IT COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WERE CARS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK, LEFT OUT THE DEALERSHIP, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD @ 65MPH AND THE TRUCK BEGAN THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN THE FRONT END AND SHOOK VIGOROUSLY UNTIL I SLOWED TO 45MPH. IT DID IT A FEW MORE TIMES ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALER. TSB#19-2392 WAS USED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR.

STEERING
TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ABOVE 60 MPH. FRONT WHEELS WOBBLED AND SHUCK VIOLENTLY. THEY GOT INTO A RHYTHM THAT KEEPS THE SHAKING GOING UNTIL I REDUCE SPEED TO ABOUT 25MPH. I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED. HAD TO AGGRESSIVELY BRAKE WHICH ALSO ALMOST CAUSED OTHER CARS TO REAR END ME ON THE INTERSTATE. COMMON TIMING SEEMS TO BE WHEN I AM DRIVING OVER OVERPASS WITH RAISED RIDGES CONNECTING THE BRIDGE SECTIONS OR WHEN I CROSS GROOVES IN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SOON

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2018 FORD F250 IN JANUARY. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND CROSSING RAILROAD CROSSING THE FRONT WHEELS STARTING BOUNCING AND SHAKING SO BAD THAT I HAD TO COM TO A COMPLETE STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT IT IS REFERRED TO AS A " DEATH WOBBLE". I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SO THAT MY WIFE AND I COULD TOW A CAMPER TRAILER BUT AFTER THIS HAPPENED NOT SURE I WANT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER BY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. FORD HAS REPLACED PARTS ON THE VEHICLE AND SAID THIS WOULD FIX IT. OTHER STATE THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX THAT IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE BUT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS

THE TRUCK HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT NOW BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 30,000. THE TECH. LED ON THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BUT, THEY DID NOTHING BUT DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR 8 MILES.

TRUCK EXPERIENCES THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND MUST PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC TO REDUCE SPEED OR STOP BEFORE ISSUE RESOLVES. NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATORS ILLUMNATE. TRUCK HAS 58,000 MILES NOW. ISSUE BEGAN AROUND 44,000 MILES. WE HAVE SHORT VIDEO BUT CANNOT UPLOAD HERE DUE TO FILE TYPE NOT BEING PERMITTED. AFTER SEEING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ON THIS WEBSITE, WONDERING WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

STEERING
WITH 24,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK MY VEHICLE FRONT TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING TO WHERE MY TRUCK FELT LIKE THE AXLE WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. IT HAS BEEN IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS DEATH WOBBLE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE JOINT WHICH TRIGGERED THE SHAKING. AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN BELOW 45 (ON THE FREEWAY MIND YOU), THE WOBBLE GOES AWAY AND MY TRUCK RIDES LIKE NORMAL. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT, BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND THAT MY BALL JOINTS WERE DESTROYED, AND REPLACED THEM. THREE MONTHS LATER THE DEATH WOBBLE CAME BACK AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ORIGINALLY REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS, AND ONCE AGAIN THE NEW BALL JOINTS WERE DESTROYED. THIS TIME THEY ALSO INSTALLED A STEERING STABLEIZER WHICH MADE THE FRONT END FEEL BETTER, BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING IT, THE DEATH WOBBLE CAME BACK. I NOW TOOK MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO INSTANTLY FOUND A TECHNICIAN SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) #16-0087 WHICH IS POSTED FROM FORD IN APRIL OF 2016 WHICH STATES THAT SOME SUSPENSION PARTS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, SO THEY INSTALLED THOSE PARTS..THE VERY NEXT DAY THE DEATH WOBBLE CAM BACK, AND THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW TRACK BAR,THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH IT DIDN'T LOOK DEFECTIVE, BUT BECAUSE AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FOR A MONTH, AND EVEN WITH THE HELP OF FORD'S MECHANICAL SPECIALISTS AT THE MAIN HEADQUARTERS COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. THIS WOBBLE ALL STARTED WHILE MY TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEN THE PAST 3 REPAIRS, IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED MY 2008 FORD F250 IN 2015 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN BURKBURNETT, TX. THE TRUCK STARTED LOOSING COOLANT FROM WHAT SEEM TO BE THE LOWER RADIATOR HOSE. THAT LEAK STOPPED BUT CONTINUED LEAK COOLANT FROM BUT WAS NOT VISIBLE. THEN THE COOLANT FILLER BOTTLE STARTED COLLECTING A BLACK FLUID AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ENGINE OIL. SO, I WAS GETTING OIL IN MY ANTIFREEZE. THE RADIATOR WAS DRAINED AND REFILLED WITH COOLANT BUT I STILL FOUND OIL IN THE COOLANT FILLER BOTTLE. RIGHT AROUND THANKSGIVING 2019, I DECIDED TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY. THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AFTER THE TEST DRIVE AND HAS NOT STARTED SINCE. WE WERE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $11,000 TO CLEAN OUT THE OILS IN THE ENGINE. THE PICKUP IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH ACCORDING TO THE LIENHOLDER. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND HAS BEEN SINCE THE NEW YEAR AFTER WE HAD IT TOWED FROM THE DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY TO OUR HOME.
