STEERING
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND CAUSE ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE WHEEL AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AND COME TO A STOP TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH TENDS TO SMOOTH IT OUT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AND ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS AND FEELS A BIT WORSE AND IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE.

2 EVENTS-2 WEEKS APART I BELIEVE IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IN BOTH EVENTS, I HIT A BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES AN HOUR. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. ALL I COULD DO WAS HIT THE BRAKES. AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED AND I COULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO LOOK AT THE TIRE. I THOUGHT A TIRE HAD COME OFF THE TRUCK. TRUCK HAS 38000 MILES AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW FACED WITH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND TO BE HONEST I AM NOW A LITTLE SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. DEFINITELY NEVER GOING TO PULL MY FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER AGAIN WITH THIS TRUCK. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
UNCONTROLLALBE WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON OVERPASSES,OR VERY ROUGH SPOTS IN THE ROADWAY, OR BRIDGE CROSSINGS. THIS HAS OCCURED TO ME FOUR TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, & AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60MPH - 80MPH. EACH TIME WAS A VERY HAIR RAISING SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. ALSO EACH TIME WHILE TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL YOU HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GET IT TO STOP THE SEVERE WOBBLE, & WHEN I SAY SEVERE WOBBLE IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE GOING TO COME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS PUT ME IN DANGER , BUT IT PUTS EVERYONE ELSE IN DANGER THAT IS AROUND ME AT THE TIME THIS OCCURS. I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IN THE WINTER TIME WE CAN SEE A LOT OF SLICK ROADWAYS, & I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THIS IF IT HAPPENS TO ME IN THESE CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE UNDER GOOD FAITH FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO BE A SOUND VEHICLE, HOW CAN I EVEN PUT MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS IN IT WHEN I KNOW IT MIGHT GET THEM HARMED OR EVEN KILLED IF THIS OCCURS.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING OVER 60MPH IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR ON AN INTERSTATE WITH 3-5 LANES OF CARS AND HAVE TO TRY AND STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. FIRST NOTICED IN SEPT AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 2 TIMES GOING IN FOR THE 3RD TIME ON DEC 6,2019

STEERING
VEHICLE HAS A REALLY BAD SHAKE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION OVER 35 MPH AND GETS WORSE AS SPEED INCREASES. FEELS AS IF THE OPERATOR IS LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OR ABOUT TO. IT'S A VERY UNSETTLING FEELING ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. HAS BEEN TO DEALER 4-5 TIMES , MULTIPLE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, TIRES ROTATED, TIRES EVEN CHANGED AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GIVE AN EXACT EXPLANATION OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THEY NO LONGER WANT TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. IT'S CAUSED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF FEAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM PROPERLY. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE TRUCK ABOUT 9 MONTHS AND IT'S SPENT OVER A MONTH IN THE GARAGE , STARTED LESS THAN 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE . STARTED APPROXIMATELY 25280 AND STILL HAPPENING TODAY. WE HAVE EVERYTHING DOCUMENTED SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE.

MY FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I HIT A BUMP. WHEN THIS SHAKING TAKES PLACE I MUST SLOW DOWN TO 45-55 MPH FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS SHAKING BEGAN WITH 32,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND I HAVE NOW BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THREE TIMES. IT APPEARS FORD CANNOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

FRONT END STEERING BEGINS A DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. IF EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD, CITY OR HIGHWAY, IS DRIVEN OVER AT THESE SPEEDS IT MAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
LOSS OF CONTROL AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER A POTHOLE OR ROUGH ROAD SURFACE. THE FRONT TIRES START TO BOUNCE OR OSCILLATE AND STEERING BECOMES DANGEROUSLY ERRATIC. YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES HARD TO LOWER THE SPEED. EVERYTHING LOOSE IN THE CABIN CAN BEGINS MOVING AROUND AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO HOLD. IF YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH THERE IS VERY REAL DANGER OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. DESCRIPTIONS ONLINE OF FORD F250 TRUCKS CALL IT THE DEATH-WOBBLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON THE HWY THE TRUCK DID A DEATH WOBBLE I HAD TO SLOW TO 25 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 13500 MILES ON IT I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE TO DRIVE IT. I'M 45 YRS OLD AND TRUCK HAS NEVER LEFT THE ROAD IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE MAX FOR FORD TO SAY PEOPLE ARE NOT MAINTAINING THESE TRUCKS IS WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THE DEALERS WILL TELL YOU FLAT OUT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. WHY WON'T FORD FIX THEM?

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 40 SPEED 65 MPH MY 2011 FORD F-250 CREW CAB SUPERDUTY EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHAKING OF VEHICLE FRONT END WHICH CAME VERY NEAR TO COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING WAS TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND DROP DOWN TO 20 MPH OR SO BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED-DANGEROUS ON A HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY. LOOKED IT UP WHEN I RETURNED FROM TRIP AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. SUGGESTED FIXES OF ALIGNMENT, SHOCK REPLACEMENT AND TIRE BALANCING DID NOT WORK-STILL EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM ABOUT ONCE A MONTH-ALWAYS IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 AND 70 MPH. BUMPS IN THE ROAD MAKE IT MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN. DATE BELOW IS THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED-IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

STEERING
ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TRAVELING ON PAVED ROADS AT SPEEDS FROM ABOUT 50-75 THE RIGHT FRONT (1 TIME, 10/17/19) AND THE LEFT FRONT (4 TIMES, 3 ON 10/31/19 AND 1 ON 11/15/19) TIRES BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE...IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS COMING APART...THIS WAS EVIDENTLY CAUSED/SET OFF BY RELATIVELY MINOR BUMPS/RIPPLES IN THE ROAD. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND DIE OR KILL SOMEONE, BUT FORTUNATELY I'VE BEEN DRIVING OVER 40 YEARS SO I MANAGED TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT IN MY LANE AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY FORD THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A "FRONT DAMPENER" OR SOMETHING..LEADING TO WHAT MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN IS KNOWN AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE"...PERFECT NAME...FORD IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE WITH THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND HAVE A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON "HELPING"....BUT FORD EVIDENTLY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM (THAT'S WHAT THE FORD MECHANIC SAID) AND THEY ARE NOT SHIPPING ANY PARTS TO THE DEALERS....MY DEALER IS WAITING ON ABOUT 10 PARTS PACKAGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WHILE....I AM BEHIND MOST OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE. THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THERE ARE OVER 2,000 PEOPLE WAITING FOR THESE PARTS, I SUSPECT MANY MORE GIVEN HOW MANY ARE A PROBLEM AT THE SMALL DEALERSHIP I USE, WITH ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED ACTUALLY GOING OUT TO DEALERS. IN THE MEANTIME MYSELF AND THE OTHER 2,000 OR SO PEOPLE, AT LEAST, ARE DRIVING THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. PLEASE MAKE FORD OWN UP AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM! IF I COULD I WOULD PARK THE TRUCK AND LET IT SIT, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION...I JUST HOPE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND I KNOW IT WILL, I DON'T GET KILLED AND I DON'T KILL SOMEONE ELSE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING A 2019 FORD F250 XLT 4X4 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND CROSSED A BRIDGE AND WHEN THE TRUCK CROSSED THE EXPANSION JOINTS THE TRUCK GOES INTO A VIOLENT WOBBLE, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY, LIKE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF CONTROL. IN ORDER TO CORRECT IT I HAD TO SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY TO 40 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES TRAVELING FROM KANSAS TO TEXAS. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WITH 18 WHEELERS TRAVELING BEHIND ME AND NEXT TO ME AND IT FORCED ME TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO AVOID A SERIOUS INCIDENT.

WHEN HITTING SMALL BUMPS AT SPEEDS OF 35MPH OR MORE THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SHOOK SO SEVERELY I HAD TO SLOW TO 30 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. TRUCK HAS 9000 MILES ON IT AND THAT'S IT. BEEN DOING IT SINCE NEW, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THIS SEVERE. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. EVERYTHING IS STOCK ON THIS 6.2 LITER F-250 SUPER CAB 4WHEEL DRIVE. AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD EASILY HAVE HAD A FATAL ACCIDENT IF THEY DIDN'T HANDLE THE SITUATION CORRECTLY OR IF I WAS ON A TURN.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2019 F250 PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE AND DROVE IT FOR 5000 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. ON OCT. 11TH ON HWY. 76 IN COLORADO DOING 65 MPH HIT A SMALL LAPS BETWEEN ROAD AND BRIDGE ABOUT 1-2 INCHES HIGH AND TRUCK SHOOK FRONT END AND STEERING UNCONTROLLABLY. HAD TO VERY SLOWLY DECREASE SPEED TO 35 BEFORE IT WOULD STOP WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STEER DURING THAT TIME. SENT TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A SHOCK ON FRONT STABLIZER WITH HEAVIER SHOCK. PROBLEM CONTINUED WITH VIBRATION AND STEERING AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR DIP USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT NOT AS HORRIFIC AS BEFORE. TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO SERVICE AND I HAD TO ASK DEALER TO CHECK REST OF FRONT END AND WHEELS AND TIRES FOR BALANCE AS THEY TOLD ME FORD HAS NO FURTHER FIX..TWO WHEELS WERE OUT OF BALACE AND WERE CORRECTED BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES AND I WAS GIVEN A LETTER FROM FORD THRU THE DEALER STATING THAT IF A VIBRATION OCCURS BETWEEN 3-5 SECONDS AND RETURNS TO NORMAL THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. I FEEL IF THIS HAPPENS DURING WEATHER CONDITIONS OR WHILE PULLING MY 12,000 LBS. 5TH WHEEL TRAILER A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THIS VIBRATION THAT IS VERY UNCONTROLLABLE. FORD CONTINUES TO DENY ANY PROBLEM OR OFFER FURTHER RECOURSE.
