Was driving on highway normal driving went through a construction zone uneven road patches on major highway 3 lanes. While slightly above 70mph my truck violently started shaking as if a front tire steel belts had ripped and separated while maneuvering through a curve o n construction no speed limit I almost lost control and rolled my truck. I had to hit the brakes in order to come to a violent stop and regain control. While almost getting rear ended and causing a chain reaction of cars swerving and braking cause of the result of the front end. The truck on has 70,000 plus miles and is on highway driven. Upon further investigation on the internet I found hundreds of complaints on line the name given was the death wobble from a series of years including all new F 250 -350 Series trucks. I had my wife and daughter plus family member hope this escalates very quickly and is taken seriously.

When cold, the doors do not latch and will swing open when driving. It can be pretty alarming when kids are riding in the back. There was a recall, but Ford's fix does not work. I have been trying to resolve the issue for over 2 years now. Safety SHOULD be a priority for any organization as large as Ford.

I have been trying to get the exhaust manifold bolts replaced by several machine shops and did my own checking on the Ford F-250 Web site and everyone tells me the same thing! Ford knows about the problem but is doing nothing to correct! I have finally found a shop that will fix the broken exhaust manifold blots ! But I would like to know what ford truly knows about this problem . To get it fixed they have to replace all the bolts do to the bolts being so rusted ! Now I only have 121, + miles on my2003 and with the bolts broken it starts admitting gas fumes into the cab . I did check your site and could only find but 1 complaint , so if this is an issue with the exhaust manifold bolts braking and all the ford forums are full of complaints where are they being filed at on your site ? And I do believe it is an issue because I have spoken to 5 different shoppes and 1 ford dealer , they all say the same thing SORRY but it is your problem ! ford knows but will not do anything about it ! I am having mine put in the shop for repairs on the week of 7 Feb 2022 , now that I found someone I could afford! I had quotes from I will not do the work because it is a V10 to $1000.00 per bolt please address this ! It won’t help me but maybe it will hold ford accountable for the product !

I experienced the Death Wobble running around 60 mph. It was one of the scariest moments I have ever experienced. I took my Truck into the Ford dealership and they replaced the Steering Stabilizer. It has really made me scared to drive my Truck.

While driving around a curve the vehicle started to violently shake to the point you could not control the vehicle. Lucky i was not meeting any on coming traffic and was able to take up both lanes until I could get the vehicle stopped. The second time this occurred , I was driving down a road and when I went over some rubble strips in the road, the vehicle began to violently shake once again.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph on the highway, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle went into limp mode causing the speed to suddenly reduce to 30 MPH. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the failure was due to an engine software update. A software update was performed but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the NOX sensor was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that an engineer would be sent to examine the vehicle. No further information was available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 72,000.

Experiencing severe shaking in the steering wheel intermittently. this has happened several days in the past week, it occurs at different speeds usually around 30 to 50 mph. It seems to only last a few seconds, but it feels like the vehicle could loose control in the event of needing to make a quick response to something.

After riding over a pothole on Interstate 24 with left front tire, vehicle began to shake violently and continued to shake until able to slow the vehicle below 20mph. This incident repeated further down the highway. Vehicle control was extremely difficult during onset and braking seems to make vehicle harder to control.

TRUCK STEERING STARTED WOBBLING OUT OF CONTROL AT 60 TO 65 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER A SMALL POT HOLE ON FREEWAY. COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF TRUCK. IT FORCE ME INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD (VERY DANGEROUS.) I AM AFRAID TO LET WIFE DRIVE THIS VERY EXSPENSIVE VEHICLE. (OVER $80K). FORD MUST DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT IT. THEY JUST WILL NOT DO ANYTHING OR DO A PROPER REPAIR

STEERING
When hitting a bump or hole in the road, sometimes the tires and steering wheel start to shake violently. I have to slow down considerably before the shaking stops. After that, the truck runs normal until I hit another hole or bump. What happens is identical to the "death wobble" experienced with Ford F250.

With no indication the truck started shaking violently after driving over an overpass expansion joint at about 60-65 mph on highway. After slowing to about 20-25 mph in breakdown lane, it seem to go away. Approximately 3-4 miles down the highway, again going over an expansion joint to a bridge this time, it happened again. With the same process of pulling into the breakdown lane and reducing speed to 20-25 mph it went away. Obviously looking this up on the internet, you come across the Ford death wobble. If this doesn’t constitute a recall, what does, death..

STEERING, SUSPENSION
Upon exiting from the highway at an approximate speed of 55mph in my 2019 Ford F250, I experienced a SEVERE case of what is commonly known as the "death wobble." I was essentially unable to control the vehicle in both braking and steering capacities, so much so that we ended partially in the grass median before regaining safe control. This again happened on the return trip home. So far I have been unable to obtain what I feel like is a satisfactory answer from the Ford dealership from whom I purchased the vehicle. In a 2 year old truck with under 50,000 miles I feel that this (especially being a known issue) should be a recalled item. I have never had a vehicle that I feel this unsafe driving in. The amount of jarring we experienced and the fact that I had little to no control at highway speeds is EXTREMELY unnerving.

When driving and you go over a slight bump in the road it makes your truck shake tremendously. I do not know if it is the suspension trying to over-correct it self but it is bad. When looking this issue up I have seen it called the Ford F250 "death wobble". I have yet to have this happen at speeds less than 50mph so this could possibly lead to a serious accident. I have made a video which I can submit for evidence (it is a MP4 file format). There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to when it will happen or how long it last.

STEERING
I was driving my F250 Super Duty at a highway speed of 76 mph with the cruise set. Truck has just over 21K miles and is a 2019 model. I drifted slightly onto the rumble strip of the highway and the truck went into the Ford Death Wobble. It is the first and only time it’s happened since buying the truck new. This happened on Monday 1/24/2022. It was shocking how violently the steering started shaking! I had to slow down to 35 mph before it stopped. I plan to contact my local dealer (where I purchased new) to set up service to report and address. However after reading about this ongoing issue I felt compelled to report the issue on your site. Most everything I’m reading reports Ford has yet to put out a recall to properly address. However I did find a TSB that I will reference with the dealer when I take it in. My truck is still under remainder of factory warranty and has not had any modifications or aftermarket parts installed since purchasing it new. Tires/wheels and all suspension components are what came with on it at time of purchase. Very frightening experience!
