STEERING
STARTING AT ABOUT 15000 MILES, THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED. WHEN GOING ANYWHERE ABOVE 55 MPH, THEN GOING OVER SEMI-ROUGH ROAD OR HITTING A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON THE FREEWAY, IT GOES INTO THIS DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATES BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES DRAMATICALLY. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20-30 MPH, IT STOPS. SPEED BACK UP AGAIN AND IT STARTS AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS THE STEERING STABILIZER THAT IS FAILING. I HAVE A CASE WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT AT. NO RESOLUTIONS AS OF YET. IT CONTINUALLY DEATH WOBBLES TODAY. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYWHERE ON GETTING IT FIXED BY FORD UNDER THE WARRANTY.

I OWN A 2017 FORD F-250 CREW CAB 4 WD AND HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A STEERING WHEEL SHAKE WHILE HITTING ROUGH ROAD( DEATH WOBBLE). STEERING SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SLOWER SPEEDS. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER GAVE ME BACK THE TRUCK AND SAID THEY WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN FORD HAS A FIX FOR IT. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK AND SPENT $40K FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAFE

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. HAVING TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY TO 30 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IS NOT SAFE. OUR TRUCK IS UNDER FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. FIRST THEY BLAMED IT ON THE TIRES SO WE HAD THEM REPLACED AND THAT DID NOT FIX IT. NOW, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT END TWICE WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. THE TRUCK NOW SHAKES SLIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT SPEED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING HOME AND DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO OSCILLATE VIOLENTLY AND TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. TRUCK WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND I HAD TO QUICKLY REDUCE THE SPEED TO UNDER 30MPH FOR THE OSCILLATION TO STOP. DID IT AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER ON A SIMILAR SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE TRUCK AND FOUND NOTHING LOOSE. DROVE IT HOME AND SETUP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER FOR THE NEXT AVAILABILITY.

I HAVE FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. (COMPLAINT NUMBER 11279636) STOCK 2017 FORD F250 NOW WITH 38,000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE. MY TRUCK IS ON ITS SECOND STEERING DAMPER AND THIS TIME THE FORD DEALER REPLACED THE DRAG LINK AND THE OUTER TIE ROD. AS WELL, THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN... THE TRUCK IS STILL EXPERIENCING SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION AND I AM AGAIN EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE, LESS THAN 1,000 MILES AFTER THE MOST RECENT REPAIR. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT CONSUMERS PURCHASE 50K+ DOLLAR TRUCKS AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS DRIVING THEM DOWN THE ROAD. WORKING IN AUTOMOTIVE, THE DAYS ARE OFTEN FILLED WITH COMMENTS SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING: CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. REVIEW THE DATA, THE DATA WILL TELL THE STORY. CHANGE POINTS. ROOT CAUSE AND PERMANENT COUNTERMEASURES. I HAVE REVIEWED THE HISTORICAL F250 CREW CAB 4X4 COMPLAINT DATA ON THIS SITE (NHTSA) AND THE DATA DOES TELL A STORY. FORD IS NOT CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING THE DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE ON THE SUPER DUTY, INSTEAD IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE POINT WITH THIS FOURTH GENERATION F250. (2017,2018,2019) AS OF 11/21/19 THE FOURTH GENERATION F250 SUPER DUTY HAS HAD MORE NHTSA SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPLAINTS FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO GENERATIONS COMBINED. (9 YEARS. SECOND GENERATION 2008-2010 AND THIRD GENERATION 2011-2016) THE CURRENT REPAIRS (COUNTERMEASURES) ARE NOT EFFECTIVE AND ARE NOT PERMANENT. THIS CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA. THE REPAIRS EITHER DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL OR ARE ONLY A TEMPORARILY BAND AID FOR THE ISSUE. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. PLEASE, OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AND ENCOURAGE FORD TO PERMANENTLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

GOING 64 MPH, I ENCOUNTERED A TREMENDOUS 'DEATH WOBBLE' THAT COMPLETE SHOOK MY TRUCK SO HARD THAT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR CAME OFF. IT TOOK ABOUT A 1/2 MILE OF DECELERATING TOO ABOUT 50 MPH TO STOP THE WOBBLE. IT OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE HIGHWAY MEETS A BRIDGE OR OVERPASS.

STEERING
DRIVING OUT OF STATE, 1000 MILES FROM HOME. DRIVING HOME. ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATING, THE STEERING WHEELS BEGAN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" DESCRIBED BY SO MANY FORD OWNERS. EXIT FREEWAY AND LIMP BACK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAS NO PARTS. NATION WIDE BACK ORDER. MY FAMILY IS STRANDED 1000 MILES FROM HOME. DEALER SAYS "JUST DRIVE IT AND WHEN IT STARTS TO WOBBLE, SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT STOPS". THIS IS NOT A SAFE OPTION. THIS TRUCK HAS 18,160 MILES ON IT!! INSTALLING AFTER MARKET PARTS JUST TO GET MY FAMILY HOME. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS TRULY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS, IN MY OPINION, CRIMINAL TO LEAVE PEOPLE WITH LITTLE OR NO OPTIONS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS "WOBBLE" AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS A MAJOR DANGER TO ALL PERSONS IN THE AREA OF THIS TRUCK. MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES MAY BE AT RISK. I HAVE PAID FOR A TRUCK. I WANT A TRUCK THAT IS SAFE AND DEPENDABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2019 F250 - 28,000 MILES WHILE DRIVE APPROX. 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD, AT WHICH POINT MY TRUCK WENT INTO WHAT IS KNOWN BY MOST FORD OWNERS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" , I HAD TO SLOW TO 45 MPH TO GET MY TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL, THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD REPLACED THE "STEERING DAMPNER" AND CLAIMED THAT IT IS FIXED, FAST FWD TWO MONTHS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, AGAIN AT APPROX. 65-70 MPH THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH FORD, THERE NEEDS TO BE A FACTORY RECALL ON ALL SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SO THAT FORD CAN GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

I HAVE FILED AN EARLIER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE(TRACKING NUMBER IS 11289041). I MADE AN APPT AT FORD TO GET TRUCK FIXED FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE ME SET UP FOR A LOANER VEHICLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO RESCHEDULE. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AS A WAIT TO GET INTO THE SHOP AND I NEARLY CAUSED THREE SEPARATE ACCIDENTS ON N/S I-75. WHEN I WAS TURNED AWAY AT FORD BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR ME, THE SPOKESMAN OF SERVICE TOLD ME THAT IF THE FAILED PART ON MY TRUCK IS WHAT HE THINKS IT IS, THE PART IS ON A 6 WEEK BACK ORDER. HE CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN HOW THERE WAS A BACKLOG OF 1200 OF THESE PARTS AND HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY TELL ME WHEN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ONE IN. JEREMY ARMSTRONG(SPOKESMAN OF SERVICE) RELUCTANTLY TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN A TON OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. AS I WAS LEAVING LEBANON FORD THAT DAY IN OHIO, I NOTICED QUITE A FEW FORD SUPERDUTY'S PARKED OUTSIDE THE SERVICE AREA. I DEEM MY TRUCK NOT DRIVEABLE AND A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT ALSO ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES THAT I SHARE THE ROAD WITH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
