I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE IN JANUARY 2019 AT AROUND 37000 MILES , TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED WHAT FORD RECOMMENDED, STEERING DAMPER , ETC. THIS PAST FRIDAY SEPT 27, 2019 I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN AFTER ONLY PUTTING 9K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I WAS AGAIN LIKE LAST TIME TRAVELING AT AROUND 70 AND HIT A BRIDGE SEAM AND THE THRASHING BEGAN. I WAS IN 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO SLOW TO AROUND 30 MPH. THERE WAS A LOT OF COMMOTION AROUND ME BUT NO ONE HIT US OR ANYBODY ELSE.

21,997 MILES, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 62 MPH. HIT A BUMP AND EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE. SLOWED TO 20 MPH BEFORE TRUCK DROVE OUT OF IT. PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2017 350 THAT DID THE SAME THING AT 20K MILES. FORD BOUGHT IT BACK. TRUSTED THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN, SO BOUGHT THIS 2019. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA HASN'T REQUIRED FORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AFTER HAVING TRUCK IN FOR DEATH WOBBLE AND NEW STEERING DAMPENER INSTALLED, TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY WOBBLING AGAIN AT SPEEDS OF 55-70 GOING ACROSS SOME BUMPS OR BRIDGES. THE WHOLE TRUCK, DASH, STEERING, WHEELS AND SEATS SHAKE UNTIL YOU SLOW BACK DOWN TO 50. THERE IS VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. SO NOW TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS A HIGHWAY, A STREET OR A ROAD. CERTAIN BRIDGES, OVERPASSES OR BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE WOBBLE TO START. DEATHLY FRIGHTENING FOR 10 YEAR DAUGHTER RIDING IN TRUCK WITH ME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING, A BUMP TO THE SUSPENSION CAUSES THE SUSPENSION/ TO BOUNCE OR DEATH WOBBLE (AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE JEEP WORLD). THIS HAS OCCURRED/ MULTIPLE TIMES AT SPEEDS FROM 45-70MPH. SEVERAL TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAVE CAUSED THE TRUCK TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS. THE MOST CURRENT EVENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY (9-25-2019) AND REQUIRED ME TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO UNDER 10MPH TO RECOVER. THE SHAKING WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH TO OPEN THE GLOVE BOX. I HAVE HAD 5 OF THESE OCCURRENCE SO FAR IN OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW 14 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OEM INCLUDING WHEELS AND TIRES. NOTHING HAS BEEN ADDED. I CANT USE THE VEHICLE AS INTENDED (TOWING) AS I'M CONCERNED OF LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHEN DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS 65+ IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE YOUR TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IT'S ALL YOU CAN DO TO KEEP THE WHEEL STEADY AND SLOW DOWN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER AND REPLACED IT. IT IS STILL DOING IT AND NOW THE DEALER IS TRYING TO BLAME IT ON ALIGNMENT AND TIRES.

STEERING HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY SHAKY OVER BUMPS AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED. RECENTLY TRUCK HAS BEGAN DEATH WOBBLE (STEERING OSCILLATION) WHEN HITTING POTHOLES, BRIDGE JOINTS, AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION TRANSITIONS.TODAY IN TRAFFIC AT 50-55 MPH, IT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. HIGH TRAFFIC AREA AND BRAKING WAS SLOW DUE TO TRACTION LOSS DURING OSCILLATION.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER UNDER WARRANTY, I RECEIVED THE TRUCK BACK AND TOOK IT ON THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT END OSCILLATION IS STILL EVIDENT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TSB FOR THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN UPDATED AND THAT ONLY THE STEERING DAMPER WOULD BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FIX TO AN ONGOING ISSUE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE OR ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE.

BOUGHT TRUCK NEW. AT 16,000 MILES STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OVER 55 MPH, WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, SAID THEY COULD'NT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM CONTINUED, TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR WHILE BUT I COULD FEEL IT GETTING WORSE (STEERING WHEEL STARTING TO SHAKE A LITTLE WHEN HITTING BUMPS) BUT NEVER WENT INTO FULL DEATH WOBBLE, AT 27,000 MILES IT WENT INTO FULL DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN ON FREEWAY OVERPASS WITH WIFE AND KID, VERY SCARY. TAKING BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW. TRUCK HAS STOCK TIRES, STOCK WHEELS, STOCK SUSPENSION, STOCK SHOCKS, STOCK RIDE HEIGHT. TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.

AFTER A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY SUCH AS A POT-HOLE OR BRIDGE APPROACH, MY 2017 F250 WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 60-75 MPH. THIS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW IN 2017. RECENTLY MY WIFE HAD EXPERIENCE THIS TO THE POINT WHERE SHE WAS SHAKEN OFF THE ROADWAY AND TONIGHT I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD FOCUS ON THE ROAD, THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS SHAKING!!! I TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MI BEFORE I COULD GET IT UNDER CONTROL. MIND YOU THIS HAPPENED OVER FOUR DIFFERENT BRIDGES. ONE BEING A 150' DROP TO THE RIVER BELOW. . I'M FINALLY AT MY BREAKING POINT WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD A BAD THOUGHT OVER THE LAST 17 YEARS OF DRIVING FORDS TRUCK BUT THIS ONE BROKE ME. I HAVE KEPT THIS TRUCK STOCK FROM THE WHEELS, TIRES, AND SUSPENSION. I DON'T UNDERSTOOD HOW FORD COULD PUT OUT SUCH DEFECTIVE VEHICLE???
