STEERING, WHEELS
WHEN HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR EXPANSION JOINT ON ROAD GOING AROUND 45 MPH OR HIGHER THE TRUCK STARTS VIBRATING REALLY BAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THE LATEST ON 12/28/2019, 3 TIMES ON MY 117 MILE TRIP. ONCE SO BAD, THAT I WAS ALMOST TAKEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND GOING INTO THE MEDIAN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TAKEN TRUCK IN SOON TO HAVE FIXED. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS STATED IN TSB # 18-2268. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, FORD IS ONLY MAKING THE PARTS WHEN NEEDED AND SOME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN WAITING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
ON THREE OCCASION NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AROUND 75-80 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS THANKFUL THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE NEXT TO ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT VIBRATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE DRIFTING OF THE VEHICLE INTO OTHER LANES DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOWLY LOWER MY SPEED. AS A RESULT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY THEY FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED AFTER 15K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I'VE BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD DEALERSHIP IN SAN JOSE, CA TOLD ME THE DAMPNERS ON MY TRUCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PARTS ARE IN BACK ORDER AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN FORD WILL HAVE THE PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT. DURING OUR LATEST TRIP TO SANTA ANA, CA ON DEC 26, 2019. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK, STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (45MPH+) WHEN BRAKING OR GOING OVER POTHOLES/ROUGH ROADS. THE WOOBLES ARE MUCH WORST THIS TIME. WE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE WOOBLES IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND I'VE CALLED/LEFT VOICEMAIL/TEXTED THE FORD DEALER IN SAN JOSE, CA. NO ONE CALLED BACK AFTER AN HOUR, SO WE DECIDED TO CANCEL OUT TRIP AND TURN AROUND FOR HOME. ONLY TO DRIVE MUCH SLOWER AND KEEPING A MUCH LONGER DISTANCE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. MY FORD TRUCK IS A 2017 FORD F250 LARIAT CREW CABS WITH 20200 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I AM EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY TRUCK. DRIVING TYPICALLY ABOVE 60 MPH, IF I DRIVE OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR IF THERE ARE RIPPLES OR CONTINUOUS BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY, I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK IN A SEVER SHAKING. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DOING FOUND TO FIX IT IS TO SLOW DOWN, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND CONTINUE DRIVING.

STEERING
AT AROUND 20,000 MILES DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HIT A BUMP DOING ABOUT 70 MH AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS BAD. THEY REPLACED IT. FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 12000 MILES, NOW AT AROUND 30,000 MILES IT HA STARTED AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT ON IT AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MY 2018 FORD F-250 HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2018 AND BY DECEMBER 2018 HAD DRIVEN LESS THAN 8,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 TO 75 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I CROSSED AN EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT-END STARTED BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING STOPPED AFTER SLOWING TO UNDER 45 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED TO SEE IF A I HAD FLAT TIRE OR OTHER ISSUE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, FROM WHICH I PURCHASED IT, FOR RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED IT THAT THEY BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 12/30/18 AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK. THEY INDICATED THE "DAMPER" WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER TSB 18-2268. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK UNTIL 1/7/19 UNTIL PARTS ARRIVED. THE REPAIR INVOICE (ATTACHED) INDICATED THEY'D REPLACED A FAILED STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER, PART NO. SPO HC3Z 3E651 F - DAMPER ASSEMBLY. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY LACK OF MAINTENANCE OR IMPROPER USE OF THE EQUIPMENT. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. THE UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION AND THE NEED TO SUDDENLY SLOW ON AN EXPRESSWAY WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO MISS ME WHILE I PULLED OVER.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
THIS SUBMISSION IS THE SECOND NOTICE OF "DEATH WOBBLE' ON MY 2018 FORD F-250 TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD LESS THEN 14,000 MILES ON IT. IT OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 9, 2019. I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH AND CROSSED A BRIDGE JOINT WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A 18 WHEEL SEMI-TRUCK THAT COULDN'T MANEUVER AS IT WAS BEING PASSED BY A SECOND TRUCK ON ONE SIDE AND ANOTHER MERGING CAR ON THE OTHER. I KNEW WHAT THE HAD CAUSED THE ISSUE AS THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN ONE YEAR. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 11TH, 2019. THEY INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DAMPENER PROBLEM. I HAD THEM INSPECT THE TRUCK ON NOVEMBER 16TH AT WHICH TIME THEY ORDERED THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT. THE SAME WOBBLE OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 15TH WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A RAMP FROM ONE EXPRESSWAY TO ANOTHER MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 11/29/19 AND THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. TWO WEEKS LATER THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY HAD THE PART. IT WAS REPAIRED ON 12/16/19. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER ASSEMBLY, PART NO. SPO HC3Z 3E651 F. THEY INDICATED THE DAMPENER IS PART OF TSB 19-2274 AND DUE TO LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE PART IS HARD TO OBTAIN. MY WIFE IS NOW LEERY ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THERE IS A SEVERE OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING SYSTEM WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, ETC. THIS IS KNOWS AS DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND CONTROL IS LOST UNTIL THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN SPEED. MINE WILL DO THIS OFTENTIMES AT 40-50MPH AND ALSO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE. FORD HAS BEEN PUTTING "BAND AID" ON THINGS TO GET IT OUT OF WARRANTY. FURTHER, I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A REDESIGNED DAMPER THAT WAS TO COME OUT LAST WEEK. IT WAS SCRAPPED AND SUPPOSED TO START OVER WITH THE VENDOR. THIS IS PER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ADVISOR AT THE FORD DEALER. IT IS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERE SHAKING IN MY FRONTEND SUSPENSION/STEERING WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON ONE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE SHAKING OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A RURAL 2 LANE ROAD. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SHAKING. I HAD TO SLOW TO 25 MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STOP AND I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. EACH TIME IT OCCURS IT WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (AT LEAST 60 MPH). I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE OVER 60 MPH. ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK OR NEAR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. IN MY QUICK RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE WIDE SPREAD WITH FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS. MY TRUCK HAS STOCK SUSPENSION AND STEERING AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 26,000 MILE ON MY FORD F-250.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY 95 IN ARIZONA, AT 70 WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. CLEAR DAY, NO ADVERSE WEATHER OR ROAD CONDITIONS. TIRES EQUALLY PRESSURIZED AT FACTORY SETTINGS OF 59 FRONT AND 55 REAR AND A COMPLETELY STOCK SUSPENSION AND TIRE PACKAGE. OUT OF NOWHERE, STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE TRUCK IS SWERVING FROM ONE LANE TO THE OTHER. I HAD TO SLOW TO NEARLY 30 TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. 2018 F-250 WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES.

2014 F250 DIESEL EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE 'DEATH WOBBLES' WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH AND PASSING OVER EXPANSION JOINT ON BRIDGE OR OTHER LIKE CREVICES. FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS FALLING APART WITH VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING, HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 35 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER AND HAD TO PAY $150.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS. FORD CLAIMS ALL FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS NEED REPLACING AS WELL AS A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 100K MILES ON IT AND IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. IT'S JUST OUT OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FORD ESTIMATES THE REPAIRS AT OVER $1,300.00 WITH NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BY FORD. I'VE OWNED FORD TRUCKS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OF THE PAST SUPER DUTY'S THAT I OWNED.

STEERING
ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON I-555 SOUTHBOUND AT THE BAY OVERPASS. AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN UPON THE OVERPASS, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED LEFT AND RIGHT VIOLENTLY UNTIL I QUICKLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. IT WAS ONLY THEN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. MY WIFE WAS PRESENT AND WITNESSED HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS FOR ME TO HOLD THE TRUCK ON THE ROADWAY. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER REPAIRED THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM IN NOVEMBER 2018 AND AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2019. SINCE RECEIVING THE TRUCK AFTER THE SECOND REPAIR, THERE HAS BEEN NOTABLE, BUT LESSER, STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN PAVEMENT.

DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE REPLACED THE WHOLE FRONT END, I'VE TRIED OUT NEW TIRES, HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND I'M STILL GETTING DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS CAUSED MYSELF AND MY GIRLFRIEND TO ALMOST LOSE OUR LIVES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE ONE DAY.

STEERING
WHEN HITTING ANY SMALL BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD WHEN TRAVELING OVER 60 MPH ON ANY ROADWAY THE VEHICLE BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL RAPID DECELERATION BELOW 40 MPH. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER A DOZEN TIMES IN THE FIRST 20,000 MILES OF THE VEHICLES LIFE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR A 4TH SERVICE CALL, HOWEVER FORD CLAIMS NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND NO TIME LINE HAS BEEN GIVEN FOR THEIR AVAILABILITY. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING DUE TO CONCERNS OF LIFE THREATENING SAFETY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A LONG STANDING PROBLEM AND I CAN NOT FATHOM WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS.
