I HAVE A 2018 FORD F250 AT ABOUT 4450 MILES HAD THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY. HAD NO LOAD AND WAS DOING ABOUT 80MPH, JUST PASSED ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I WAS PULLING IN FRONT OF IT I HIT A POT HOLE AND THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED. I HAD TO SLOW TO ABOUT 30MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL, NEARLY CAUSED A ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A NEW F250 SD 6.7L IN 2016. IT HAS 53,000M ON IT. JAN 2019 REDUCTANT HEATER FAILED, FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. FORTUNATELY MY EXT WARRANTY DID AFTER $100 DEDUCTABLE. FEB 2019 MY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IT GAVE THE DASH WARNING : CHIMING SOUND, NO OIL PRESSURE, HIGH TEMP, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, AIR BAG, BATTERY, AND AFTER STOPPING NOTHING WAS OVERHEATING, AND OIL WAS AT PROPER LEVEL IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT LOCKED THE STARTING SYSTEM OUT. TOWED TO SHOP, WAITED 6 HRS THEN SHOP SAID IT WAS FROM SUSPECTED CORRODED BCM CONNECTOR. THE SHOP TURNED THAT IN TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY DECLINED THE CLAIM DUE TO CORROSION. FORD HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT HAPPENING BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT. $1000 REPAIR BILL+ $130.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE IT WAS CORROSION, BUT SUSPECTS THE BCM CORRODED CONNECTOR. THEY RESET THE CODES, TEST DROVE IT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD PRODUCT AGAIN.

2017 F250 WITH 43,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE MANY TIMES. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIME TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. ALL THEY DO IS PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPER ON. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES, BUT HAPPENS AGAIN. I KEEP WASTE TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS I JUST PRAY IT'S NOT THE DAY I DIE, FOR HOW VIOLENTLY IT SHAKES THE VEHICLE. WOULD HATE FOR FORD TO HAVE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM DUE TO THE DEATH OF SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
WE OWN A 2017 FORD F-250 DIESEL CREW CAB 4X4, UNMODIFIED, WITH 15,094 MILES. ON A TRIP TO FRESNO CA FROM YUMA AZ, AND BACK AGAIN FEBRUARY 22ND AND 23RD 2019, I EXPERIENCE A QUICKLY ESCALATING SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION NINE SEPARATE TIMES THAT REQUIRED ME TO DANGEROUSLY SLOW DOWN FROM THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, AND MOST TIMES, TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER. MY TIRE PRESSURES WERE AS RECOMMENDED AND VERIFIED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AS WERE THEIR RECENT BALANCE, TOE, CAMBER, AND ALIGNMENT. I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WHEN THE F-250 VIN# [XXX] HAD JUST UNDER 9,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ADVISED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL TO CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE, AND BALANCE. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED I HAVE THEM ADJUST MY ?TOE? IN SLIGHTLY MORE THAN NORMALLY RECOMMENDED. THIS THEY SAID WOULD CAUSE MY TIRES TO WEAR SLIGHTLY FASTER, BUT WOULD COMBAT THE ?WOBBLE? THAT SOMETIMES PLAGUES THEIR UNITS. I FOUND THAT ONCE THE TRUCK HAD AT LEAST ONE SIDE OFF THE FIRM CONTACT OF THE PAVED, OR CEMENT ROADWAY, AND ON THE LOOSE GRAVEL, OR DIRT, THAT QUICKLY ELIMINATED THE OSCILLATION. THE PROBLEM IS THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NOT ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE WHEN THIS ATTACK HAPPENS BECAUSE OF OTHER VEHICLES, OR THERE JUST IS NO ROAD SHOULDER AT ALL. ONCE THE VIBRATION STARTS WHICH IS ALWAYS INITIATED BY ENCOUNTERING A JOLTING BLEMISH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A FEW OTHER IMPERFECTIONS. LIKE A ROAD JOINT, CRACKS, REPAIR PATCH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY OTHER IMPERFECTIONS LIKE REPETITIVE CRACKS OR POT HOLES. IT CAUSES THE TWO FRONT TIRES TO COUNTER ACT EACH OTHER IN AN ESCALATING SEVERE OSCILLATION. THIS HAPPENS, AND WILL REACH ITS CRESCENDOS WITHIN A QUICK COUPLE OF SECONDS. AKIN TO A SURPRISE SUCKER PUNCH THIS MAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES AN OUT OF CONTROL BACK AND FORTH SHUDDERING COMBATANT. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
WENT TO LEAVE WORK WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED BACKING UP MY DRIVER DOOR CAME OPEN. I STOPPED AND TRY TO SHUT IT AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH. TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET IT TO LATCH. FINALLY GOT IT TO LATCH, OR SO I THOUGHT, STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE BUSY TOWN ROAD AND WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE THE DOOR CAME OPEN AGAIN. LEAVING ME TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHEN I DRIVE UNTILL I COULD PULL OVER AND GET IT TO LATCH AGAIN. THE TRUCK HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL 'FIX' AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN IT'S COLD OUT.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EXPERIENCED A "DEATH WOBBLE" 2 TIMES. NOTIFIED FORD AND THRY SAID 'OH YEAH YOU EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE. ASKED IF THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY STATED ONLY IF OUR TRUCK IS UNDER 36,000 MILES. OURS HAS 50,000. THE TRUCK IS AT FORD TO BE FIXED WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1800.00. WE BOUGHT OUT TRUCK MAY OF 2017.....FORD WOULD'VE KNOWN BY THEN THAT THERE WAS THIS PROBLEM, YET SOLD TO US....KNOWINGLY THAT "A DEATH WOBBLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIBRATION...." "THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE" WHY IS IT ALRIGHT TO KNOWINGLY SELL US SOMETHING THAT IS DANGEROUS?? WHY ARE WE HAVING TO INCUR THIS COST? WHY IS THERE NO REAL RECALL FOR THIS? PLEASE HELP. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST.

I HAVE A FORD F-250 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 12,495. MILES ON IT. WE ENTERED HWY 53 NORTH BOUND IN WI AND ACCELERATED UP TO SPEED 65 MPH . THEN WENT OVER A CRACK IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCKED STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.WHAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR BEHIND ME SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING TO COME OFF THE TRUCK.TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER PER TSB 18-2268. PT # HC3Z-3E651-F DAMPER ASSY.BIG QUSTION IS WHY DIDN'T THEY REPLACE THE TRACK BAR,AND TIE ROD ENDS AT THE SAME TIME. WITH THAT MUCH SHAKING GOING ON I AM SURE IT SHORTENED THE LIFE OF THOSE PARTS.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT OVER 45 MPH MY 2017 FORD F250 GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. I KNOW FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB #18-2268 WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ON MY 3RD TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE PARTS INCLUDED IN THE TSB EXCEPT FOR A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY NEEDED TO TRY THESE OTHER STEPS FIRST. AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER TODAY I STILL EXPERIENCE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. DIDNT GO INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY BUT SUSPECT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE VIBRATION STILL THERE.

STEERING DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS !!!!! FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR OVER TEN YEARS. WHY IS THIS ISSUE STILL NOT BEING ADDRESSED? I SEEMS THAT FORD IS LEAVING IT UP TO THE CUSTOMER TO RESOLVE. I GUESS I'M THE THE DUMMY FOR TRUSTING THAT FORD HAS SAFETY IN MIND WHEN THE F250 WAS PUT INTO PRODUCTION WITH A KNOW SAFETY STEERING PROBLEM. THERE IS A FIX ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET BUT FORD CONTINUES TO FAIL THEIR CUSTOMER BY NOT PROVIDING THE SOLUTION AT NO COST. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD TO DIE BEFORE FORD DECIDES TO RECALL? I PAID OVER 70K FOR THE TRUCK AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. NOT KNOWING WHEN THE NEXT TIME THE FRONT WHEELS ARE GOING TO START THE (DEATH WOBBLE). FORD PLEASE RESOLVE !!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND STOPPED ON DASH AND CODE P208 COMES UP FOR THE REDUCTANT HEATER FAILED, THIS CAUSES THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO NOT FULLY CLEAN OUT AND COULD PLACE THE TRUCK INTO A LIMP MODE CAUSING DECREASED POWER AND POTENTIALLY STOP THE VEHICLE ALL TOGETHER

DEATH WOBBLE. WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH WHEN I PASSED OVER A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE FRONT END. I HAD TO SLOW TO 30PMH TO REGAIN CONTROL AFTER UNCONTROLLABLY BEING FORCED INTO ANOTHER LANE AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK AND THE FIRST TIME AFTER FORD ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUES BY REPLACING PARTS. I HAVE VIDEO OF BOTH EVENTS AND FORD WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE STATING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AT APPX. 70-75 MPH AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, I HAD TO SLOW TO 35-40 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE JUST HAD THE TIRES BALANCE, ROTATED, AND INFLATED TO THE SPECS. I WAS JUST IN THE DEARLSHIP ON FRIDAY 02/15/19 AND MENTIONED IT TO THEM THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AND WOULD BE $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE NEVER GOT AN ANSWER BACK. THIS MORNING ALONE I HAD EXPERIENCED IT 3 TIMES IN THE 40 MILES I DRIVE TO WORK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND TO EXPERIENCE IT THAT MANY TIMES IN A 40 MILE DRIVE TO WORK IS NOT OK. LUCKILY MY KIDS AND WIFE WEREN'T IN THE TRUCK THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER RODE IN IT AGAIN. I HAVE 41K MILES ON MY TUCK AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. BEFORE TAKING THE TRIES TO BE BALANCED AND ROTATED FIXED THE ISSUE SO IT SEAMED BUT RIGHT AFTER LAVING THE TIRE SHOP IT HAPPENED. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO FORD AGAIN FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHAT IS THE FIX FOR THIS? IT SEAMS TO A COMMON PROBLEM IS FORD DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS? NOW AFTER THIS RUN OF SUDDEN SHAKES MY SUN ROOF WILL NOT OPEN SEAMS TO BE JAMMED OR OFF TRACK FROM THE VIOLENT SHAKING NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IS BROKEN OR NO LONGER WORKS AFTER THIS.

"DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE TRUCK WITH GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE AND HAVE TO SLOW SPEEDS DOWN TO 45 MPH TO CORRECT ITSELF, SLAMMING ON THE BRAKE (WHICH IS FIRST REACTION) MAKES IT WORSE
