2017 FORD SUPER-DUTY F-250 PICK-UP TRUCK; VIOLENT SHAKING OF FRONT END WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON, WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS. RAPID DECELERATION REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. BOTH OCCURRED WHILE OPERATING ON PAVED ROADS ( FREEWAY/EXPRESSWAY AND 2 LANE HIGHWAY ) - NO POT HOLES OR BUMPS HIT, THAT I AM ABLE TO RECALL.

SEVERAL TIMES MY TRUCK HAS GONE INTO A SEVERE SHIMMY WHILE TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO STAND ON THE BRAKES AND HOPE ANYONE BEHIND ME IS ALERT. I HAVE OWNED A 2009,AND A 2013 F-250 AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELING ON I-74 AT 70MPH WE HIT A ROAD EXPANSION JOINT (SLIGHT BUMP) ON A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND HIT THE BRIDGE RAILING, I HIT MY BRAKES TO TRY AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED. I COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND CONTINUED ON AND AGAIN WHEN I WAS DOING 65MPH I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHEN WE HIT ANOTHER EXPANSION. IT SHOOK SO BAD IT ALMOST PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS. I GOT OFF TO THE SIDE AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING A TRAFFIC CRASH. I FULLY STOPPED AND THEN SLOWLY DROVE OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE HOME ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL I WAS ON INDIANA 63 / US 41 I GOT THE TRUCK TO 60 MPH AND IT AGAIN SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN WE HIT A SLIGHT BUMP OF AN EXPANSION JOINT. I AM TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TOMORROW MORNING. I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM U TIL I LOOKED THIS UP ON GOOGLE. HOW CAN FORD CONTINUE TO SELL THESE TRUCKS WITH A KNOW SAFETY DEFECT AND NHTSA DOES NOTHING TO WARN US.

WE WERE PULLING 5TH WHEEL AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. HIT BUMP IN ROAD. PICKUP STARTED SHIMMING/SHAKING VIOLENTLY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED IMMEDIATELY WHICH IS HARD TO DO IN TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITHOUT THE FIFTH WHEEL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH. HIT BUMP IN ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO ALL BUT SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. DID THIS AGAIN 3-4 TIMES TRYING TO REACH DEALERSHIP. THE PICKUP HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP FOR THREE (3) WEEKS TODAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PART WILL BE IN TO FIX IF FIXABLE.

I STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD IT. IT'S CALLED, THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE FORD DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DOESN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN AND NO REPAIRS ARE NEEDED. HOW COME IT'S STILL HAPPENING?!?! THEY NEED TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I DON'T WANT TO CRASH BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS WOBBLING SO MUCH! I THINK WITH THE AMOUNT WE PAID FOR THE TRUCK THIS SHOULDN'T BE A CONCERN BUT IT IS!!

STEERING
WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE PICKUP STARTS TO SHAKE REAL BAD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKE IS TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 45 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABALIZER ARM. AFTER THE REPAIR IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES AGAIN IN ONE DAY. SOME OF THE TIMES I WAS IN THE FAST LANE WHEN IT HAPPENED. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS GLAD THE OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME WAS ABLE TO SLOW ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE SUBJECT IT IS WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE 34,000 MILES ON THE PICKUP. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK AGO. THE LAST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WAS ON NOVEMBER 24, 2019. I CALLED THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK TO ME. THEY NEEDED TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 10 HEADING TO JUNCTION TEXAS. THERE WAS AN AREA OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND AS I WAS COMING OFF OF THIS CONSTRUCTION THERE WAS SOME UNEVEN ROAD AND BUMPS. MY FRONT LEFT TIRE STARTED TO SHAKE, THE STEERING WJHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT SO BAD THAT THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. I HAD TO GENTLY APPLY THE BRAKES BUT UNABLE TO STEER APPROPRIATELY WE VEERED INTO THE MEDIAN OF I10. I HAD BOTH MY 3 AND 6 YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK. HAD THERE BEEN A MEDIAN WALL OR TRAFFIC THIS LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES ON OUR TRIP BOTH AT BRIDGE INTERFACES.

EARLIER TODAY I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F-250 FX-4. INTERNET RESEARCH THIS EVENING MADE ME AWARE OF THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO YOUR AGENCY. THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED BY QUICK DECELERATION - I ACTUALLY PULLED INTO THE MEDIAN AND EXPECTED TO SEE ONE OF THE WHEELS ABOUT TO COME OFF. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH FORD BUT SUSPECT THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAVEN'T DEVELOPED A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION.

MY TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE TWO TIMES AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS A VERY SCARY FEELING WHEN IT HAPPENS I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SEEM TO NOT CARE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. SO I WROTE A LETTER TO THE MANGER OF CUSTOMER RELATION HOPING THEY WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS FIXED NUMEROUS TRUCKS WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST YEAR
