ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2018 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY HAS A VIOLENT SHAKE (DEATH WOBBLE) IF I HIT ANY KIND OF BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED, MY TRUCK WILL SHAKE SO BAD TO THE POINT I CANT HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHATEVER IS IN MY CUP HOLDERS GOES FLYING IN VEHICLE. I HAVE GIVEN FORD 3 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO FIX IT, THE PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND SPOKE WITH THEM MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THE ISSUE. AT THIS TIME, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I JUST NEED TO KEEP TRYING TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITH ANY KIND OF TRADE ASSISTANCE TO CHANGE TRUCKS. FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH 2017/2018 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I'M TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW I HAVE BEEN TREATED BY A COMPANY THAT I SPEND OVER $250,000 WITH OVER MY LIFETIME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN GOING OVER BUMPY ROADS. THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I AM FORCED TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY REPLACED PARTS WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12-22-18 AND WAS FIXED ON 01-04-19 BY REPLACING THE DRAG LINK AND DAMPER ASSEMBLY. TODAY, 03-31-19, THE TRUCK DID ANOTHER DEATH WOBBLE AT 70 MPH.

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 F250 ON AN INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65MPH, I DROVE OVER AN EXPANSION GAP ON A BRIDGE AND SUDDENLY THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE GOT A FLAT OR SOMETHING. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THIS IS DUE TO A WIDESPREAD ISSUE OF "DEATH WOBBLE" KNOWN IN FORD SUPERDUTY MODELS. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR AGAIN AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW SAFE THIS VEHICLE WILL BE WHEN DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THIS STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN AND I MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON A FREEWAY. THAT'S A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND LIKELIHOOD OF TOWING A TRAILER. IT IS MY OPINION THAT FORD SHOULD DO A RECALL OF 2017-2019 SUPERDUTY'S TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT 60 TO 65 MPH WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (GOING OVER BRIDGES) THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY / VIOLENTLY. IN TWO CASES I WENT OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. IT WILL NOT STOP UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. IN ALL CASES IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. TYPICALLY WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WHILE ENTERING FROM AN ON RAMP. MOST CASE THE BRIDGE JOINT STARTS THE CONDITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS.

FRONT END WHEELS AND SUSPENSION VIBRATES BADLY WHEN YOU HIT A SMALL ROUGH SPOT OR EXPANSION GAP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FORD REFERS TO THIS AS STEERING OSCILLATION, THE INTERNET REFERS TO THIS AS A "DEATH WOBBLE"

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE ABOUT 25,000 MILES. IT IS A VIOLENT SHAKING CAUSING THE STEERING TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH AND IS USUALLY SET OFF BY SOMETHING LIKE AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD OR A ROUGH PATCH AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT IS VERY AGGRESSIVE AND UNPLEASANT. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 18,000 MILES FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. EACH TIME THEY REPLACE EITHER THE DRAG LINKS OR THE STEERING DAMPENER. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT BECAME A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR ME TWO DAYS AFTER GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MY WIFE USED IT TO DRIVE 600 MILES. SHE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON SOME ICE PATCHES ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS HAVING TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS HAS NOT BECOME A RECALL BUT I CAN ATTEST THAT A DRIVER'S SAFETY IS COMPROMISED BY DRIVING A 2017 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY. I HAVE OFF-ROAD DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND I BELIEVE THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS OVER THE LAST 18,000 MILES OF DRIVING.

DEATH WOBBLE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AFTER DEALERSHIP REPLACED WORN PARTS. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON AN OPEN ROAD AND NOT A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND IT HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 20,000 MILES. A RECALL SHOULD BE PURSUED IN ORDER TO MAKE DRIVING A 2017 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY SAFE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE CONTINUES TO PLAGUE MY 2017 FORD F-250 EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED STEERING COMPONENTS THAT WERE SHOWING WEAR. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AND I FEAR HITTING ANY KIND OF BUMP IN THE ROAD. EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP LIKE A JOINT IN THE ROAD WILL CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED VIOLENT SHAKING UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO 30-40 MPH. SAFETY IS AT RISK WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE IS SET OFF. I HOPE A RECALL WOULD HOLD FORD TO A HIGHER STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO ENGINEERING STEERING AND SUSPENSION PARTS. THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE TO WORRY FOR YOUR SAFETY WHEN DRIVING A WELL-MAINTAINED VEHICLE IN NEARLY NEW CONDITION.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE AS THE DEALER CALLS IT HAS BEEN A REOCURRING PROBLEM ON MY 2017 FORD F-250. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO ADDRESS THE DEATH WOBBLE 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 15,000 MILES. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE ON A REGULAR, BUT UNEXPECTED, BASIS. I HOPE FORD WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE BUT I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THEIR "SOLUTIONS" TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS VIOLENT AND OUT OF CONTROL.

STEERING
MY 2018 F-250, 11 MONTHS OLD HAS A DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES BETWEEN SPEEDS 50-65 MPH ON INTERSTATE AS WELL AS STATE TWO-LANES. LEFT WHEEL HITTING ANY BUMP CAN LEAD TO TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FRONT END NOW SEEMS LOOSE AFTER THESE MANY OCCURRENCES. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON INTERSTATE AND DRIVE WITH "WHITE KNUCKLES" EVERYWHERE ELSE. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I END UP OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
