BOUGHT VEHICLE ON 4/16/19 USED WITH 22,0000 MILES. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED ON 4/23/16 DUE TO 'DEATH WOBBLE' FOR REPAIRS. THE DAMPER ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED. RETURNED TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON 10/23/19 FOR REPAIRS DUE TO 'DEATH WOBBLE' AGAIN. STEERING STABILIZER HAD DEAD SPOT SO NEW STEERING STABILIZER INSTALLED. 11/1/19. 'DEATH WOBBLE' RETURNS AND IS WORSE. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON 11/20/19. CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG..ALL DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 51 MPH AND 70 MPH, DEATH WOBBLE WILL RESOLVE ONLY WITH GREATLY REDUCED SPEEDS. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING.

MY 2018 F-250 SUPER DUTY (PURCHASED NEW) DEVELOPED DEATH WOBBLE AT 21,700 MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (55 TO 70 MPH) AFTER HITTING A SMALL SHARP BUMP, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY REQUIRING ME TO RAPIDLY DECREASE SPEED AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED FORD. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER ONCE THEY RECEIVED THE PART. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. AT AROUND 39,000 MILES THE ISSUE APPEARED AGAIN, THIS TIME WORSE THAN BEFORE. ON A BUSINESS TRIP FROM WAUSAU TO MILWAUKEE AND BACK THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY 5 SEPARATE TIMES ON THE SAME DAY. EACH TIME THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I AGAIN IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FOR DEALER AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY. ABRUPT BUMPS IN THE ROAD, ROUGH ROAD, BRIDGE SEAMS ALL SEEM TO MAKE THE F-250 SHAKE TO THE POINT OF ALMOST LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IF I WAS PULLING MY CAMPER, TRAILER OR IF ROAD CONDITIONS WERE POOR I AM SURE THIS WOULD HAVE ENDED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN CENTRAL WI AND THE WINTER SEASON IS JUST BEGINNING. IF THE TRUCK WERE TO DO THIS ON AN ICE OR SNOW COVERED ROAD CHANCES OF GETTING IT BACK UNDER CONTROL WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE AND COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

UNCONTROLABLE FRONT WHEEL BOUNCE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH WHEN YOU HIT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP OR VARIATION IN THE ROAD. ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH OR LOWER TO GET THE BOUNCE TO STOP. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 30 OR MORE TIMES. TIRES, TIRE PRESSURE, SHOCKS, STEERING STABALIZER, AND ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN CHECK AND REPLACED. STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD WITH MANY FORUMS TALKING ABOUT IT. THIS WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE DEATHS IF NOT HANDLED SWIFTLY. DRIVER HAS NOT CONTROL OVER VEHICLE UNTIL THE BOUNCE STOPS. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (45 MPH +) THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE PUT OFF ANY LONGER. RECENTLY WATCHED ANOTHER FORD F250 (WITH 6.7 ENGINE, SO 2011 OR NEWER) GET THE TIRE BOUNCE AND ENDED UP GOING OFF THE ROAD AND ROLLING TWICE. I HIT THE SAME AREA AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE BOUNCE AND SLOW BECAUSE I SAW THE OTHER FORD CRASH. I AM TRYING TO RESEARCH THE CRASH AND GET A POLICE REPORT NUMBER TO SUBMIT. I CAN'T EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT THIS GETS HANDLED AND FIXED BY FORD!!

THE TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". DRIVING 55 OR ABOVE IS DANGEROUS IF YOU HIT A BUMP, THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND MUST BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. I'VE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 45 DAYS AND TOMORROW WILL BE THE SECOND TIME IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE TRUCK GOES INTO A 'DEATH WOBBLE' AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY STARTING AT ONLY 7500 MILES. SOME FRONT END COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME (STEERING STABILIZER AND TIE ROD ENDS). NOW WITH 13,800 MILES, THE TRUCK AGAIN GOES INTO A 'DEATH WOBBLE' OR A SEVERE FRONT-END OSCILLATION ON SOME ROAD CONDITIONS (EXPANSION JOINTS/ROUGH AREAS). IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT OCCURS EMPTY OR WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED POUNDS IN THE BED. IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS BEEN ON-GOING SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEARLY NEW. STILL WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE, IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW THOUGH I'M NOT SENSING THAT THERE ARE ANY REAL REMEDIES TO THIS PROBLEM. I'VE OWNED MANY SOLID FRONT AXLE 3/4 TON AND 1 TON TRUCKS. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS ALMOST UN-DRIVEABLE ON CERTAIN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS.

THE TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT (DEATH WOBBLE) IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING, FEELS LIKE ITS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL, HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT FIXED, A FEW WEEKS LATER HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, ONLY 30,000 MILES AND I FEEL ITS NOT SAFE TO RIDE IN IT. I BELIEVE ITS A DEFECT. AND CAN'T BE FIXED. IT WILL HAPPEN ABOVE 50 MILES AN HOUR WHEN HITTING UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMPS. CAN HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT.
