STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
After going over bump in the road truck starts bouncing uncontrollable, like the left tire in bouncing like a basketball to a point of almost losing control, until i can slow down to a stop ,then when I speed back up it stops. I have only experienced this two times both in the last month the truck has about 32000 miles. I have taken it to dealership for maintenance but I don't think they really know what's going on.

STEERING
When traveling on the highway at speeds above 65 mph, a slight bump in the road would take control over the steering wheel and cause the steering wheel and whole truck to shake uncontrollably. Braking would only prolong the shake. Only by slowing down to 45mph or lower, by taking foot off the gas, would the shaking stop. The process repeats at the next uneven pavement it encounters. I have multiple videos that I can share, but this site will not let me upload. This felt very unsafe and luckily I was the only car on the road at the time or the outcome may have been different.

The front-end of vehicle begins to violently shake after crossing over a rough spot in road or driving over grooves in road. The only way to stop the violent shake is to extremely slow or stop the vehicle.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Check engine code P2002. Dealer indicated the diesel particulate filter needs replaced. Found Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 20M06 which based on the description covers the issue but Ford says 20M06 is not attached to my VIN even though it represents the exact same issue.

SUSPENSION
Oh June 15th, in the middle of the afternoon around 2-3 pm, I was traveling NW on SH114, in the toll express lane, from Dallas towards Grapevine after a minor medical procedure, when my truck apparently hit a small hole or bump, which caused it to vibrate violently simultaneously from both front wheels, as if they weren't even in contact with the pavement. It took a lot of effort to keep the vehicle from crashing into the concrete walled barriers which are located on either side of that lane. I ended up having to slow to essentially a complete stop before the violent shaking stopped. Once the truck was under control, I noticed that my incision site had swollen greatly, as if a tennis ball was in my neck. An artery had ruptured as a result necessitating my wife to meet me and transport me to the hospital/clinic for emergency repairs, as the wild and uncontrolled vehicle and the effort to control it had caused an artery to rupture in my neck. I now understand this to be what is commonly called Death Wobble. I am lucky I didn't crash, and I am even luckier that I am not dead from bleeding out. That incident and the resulting several weeks that followed necessitated a bunch of follow up visits and being off work as well as no physical activity, in addition to the trauma, pain, and now the fear of my truck doing this again in the future. My truck is available for inspection. I have reached out to Ford through live chat, social media and telephone, but I have received not response so far. I have little more than a desire to help others avoid crashes and injuries and to have my truck repaired. I am the original owner. It is under warranty. BUT< there is no current recall and the information I have been able to glean indicates that the proposed repair woefully inadequately does anything. Somebody is going to die, if they already haven't. I'm just lucky it wasn't me that day. Being stuck in a barriered lane, bleeding internally profusely was terrifying.

Driving and hit rough road and front end wobbles tell I slow down. Once pulling a camper and another time I was not pulling a trailer. Speed was 65mph, had to slow down pull over and restart. Others call this the Ford death wobble and I agree!

death wobble occurs at speeds at or around 50 to 70 mph on june 22,2022 , yes the the truck became uncontrollable and steering was do to the wobbling, the vehicle is currently at a ford dealer ship awaiting for repairs to the front end, dealer acted if the truck could not be repair upon dropping off the truck due to a back order problem for the part needed, there is no type of warning light or indicator to prewarn of this event happening. could very easily cause an accident or roll over

My truck regular experiences violent shakes when I hit bumps in the road when traveling over 45MPH. I was on a bridge today and had to slow traffic to less than 30mph to control the shakes. The last 4 times I have entered the freeway at a specific entrance I have experienced the violent shakes, requiring me to enter the emergency lane to gain control.

STEERING
When I'm on the highway going between 45-75 MPH, and I encounter a bump or deviation in the pavement, The front end steering will begin to violently cavitate and wobble. The truck speed must be immediately reduced in order to regain control and stop cavitation of front end. I usually have to slow down to 35 MPH to get it to stop. This causes traffic behind me to swerve to avoid me and has almost lead to several accidents. Ford Dealer, Jordan Ford, told me that the replacement Stabilizer absorber has been back ordered for 3 months and they have a lot of people waiting on them. I told Dealer Rep about this issue already and they commented that if it doesn't do it all the time , I shouldn't worry about it. I understand supply issues are considerable, but this is a safety issue that should take precedence before someone is killed.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
On 6/25/2022 I experienced violent shaking at freeway speed in southern California. The vehicle was difficult to control - the steering wheel shook violently, and it could be felt throughout the vehicle. The ride was completely smooth when I began the freeway drive; the problem came on all of a sudden, then continued at all speeds, but was particularly violent over 50 MPH. I have not had it inspected yet, but research revealed this is most likely the Ford "Death Wobble" affecting F250 and F350 trucks years 2005 to 2021. I haven't discerned all the information yet as to how to make repairs. My understanding is the cause is inadequate front end suspension parts, a Ford manufacturing safety issue. Mine is a 2006 model, and some articles report that year was notably the worse. There was no traffic accident, no police report was filed, and we made it home safely. There were no warning lights or messages. The truck is not under warranty.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while the air conditioner was turned on, an abnormal vinegary odor was detected. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the odor was due to mold and mildew from condensation in the air condition system. The contact was informed that the mechanic would spray the air condition system to get rid of the mold. The contact was concerned about his health while the air conditioner was turned on and mold spores were blowing into his face. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

Above 60 mph if my truck hits even the smallest pavement imperfection or small pot hole my truck will begin to vibrate uncontrollably. The vibration will continue until I slow below 50 and the vibration will go away. Watching videos on the internet, they refer to it as "Death Wobble". VERY dangerous situation and I will not allow anyone to drive my truck but me.
