What 207 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Ford F-350 Super Crew

SUPPOSED DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCE. TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY THE SEMI DRIVER NEXT TO ME SAW THE FRONT WHEEL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND STARTED TO BRAKE. SEMI HAD TO LOCK UP HIS BRAKES DUE TO THE FACT I WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND COULD NOT KEEP THE TRUCK IN MY LANE AND CAME ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC UNCONTROLLABLY. AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT BY INCHES, BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN LOOKED IT OVER. EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE FINE, BUT NOW VERY CAUTIOUS TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE TRUCK BUT TO TRY AND NOT GET IT TO GO SIDEWAYS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING VEHICLES FOR YEARS INCLUDING EMERGENCY AND SEMI TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. NOW IT IS SCARY TO EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK AND MY WIFE WON'T GET BEHIND THE WHEEL NOW. HIT A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RECOVER UNTIL STOPPED. WE ARE THANKFUL NOT TO BE SITTING IN A HOSPITAL OR EVEN WORSE!!

DEF HEATER FAILED. FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED.

MY TRUCK HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHEN I HIT EVEN MINOR BUMPS OR TRANSITIONS/SEAMS IN ROAD, FROM PAVEMENT/BRIDGES/OVERPASSES. IT'S EXTREMELY HARD TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES RAPIDLY 4-6' BACK AND FORTH WHILE SHAKING. I'M AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO 35 MPH, AND THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IN 75 MPH TRAFFIC, FROM CENTER LANES, AND VERY OFTEN THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO SLOW DOWN ONTO, WHEN I'M ON A BRIDGE OR TOP OF OVERPASS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 55 MPH, CAN BE TRIGGERED BY A POT HOLE, & ANY BUMPS IN THE PAVEMENT.THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD OVER 55 MPH. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME 6/21/20 AND HAS HAPPENED NOW EVERY SINGLE TIME WE DRIVE IT. I HAVE CAPTURED THIS HAPPENING ON VIDEOS TWICE NOW. TODAY IS 8/9/20 AND IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 24 MILES TODAY. IF I DIE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT BE IN ABLE TO TELL ANYONE THAT THIS WAS ACTIVELY HAPPENING. THEY WOULD SAY I HAD 'FAILURE TO CONTROL VEHICLE'. I HAVE TAKEN TO SHOP AND HAD MULTIPLE SUSPENSION PARTS REPLACED AND IT'S STILL HAPPENING, ZERO IMPROVEMENT. NOW I'M TAKING IT BACK TO A MECHANIC TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PAID FOR YET, IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I'M EXTREMELY SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT. THIS CANNOT BE CAPTURED IN A PICTURE, YOU NEED TO SEE THE 2 VIDEOS I TOOK OF THIS HAPPENING TODAY.

I HAVE A 2015 F350 WITH 24881 MILES ON IT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I HAVE READ ABOUT IN RECENT LAWSUIT NEWS ON THE FORD TRUCKS A HANDFUL OF TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY TO GET IT TO STOP. I USE THIS TRUCK MAINLY TO TOW MY BOAT AND IS COMPLETELY IN STOCK FORM. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO A 65K STICKER TRUCK WITH LOW MILES AND POSES A SERIOUS DANGER.

DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP OR EVEN JUST A ROUGH ROAD AT 60 MPH OR HIGHER THE STEERING IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH. IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS DANGEROUS, I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND CARS HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING

2015 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AFTER GOING OVER AN OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. IT STOPPED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE SHOULDER. IT DID IT TO ME AGAIN 4 MILES LATER. I WAS TOLD I EXPERIENCED WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE".

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65-70 MPH, I DROVE OVER AN OVERPASS TRANSITION ON I-69 IN HOUSTON, WHICH WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF A SMALL BUMP, AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. ALL LOOSE BELONGINGS IN THE TRUCK WERE SLUNG AROUND IN THE CAB AND EVENTUALLY LANDED ON THE FLOOR, INCLUDING THE DRIVER AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO CONTROL, AND OTHER VEHICLES CLEARED AWAY FROM ME. THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO KEEP WITHIN MY LANE, AND I SWERVED OUT OF CONTROL FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTHER. MY WIFE DROVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER, AND A VERY SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MPH ON A TEXAS HIGHWAY NORTH OF HOUSTON. SHE SAID THE TRUCK WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL, AND SHE WAS VERY RATTLED DURING THE EVENT. AT WORK, WE HAVE MANY FOR SUPER DUTIES IN OUR FLEET, AND THE MAJORITY OF THOSE TRUCKS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES, WITH LESS THAN 25K MILES ON THE NEW TRUCKS. WE HAVE ADDED DUAL STEERING DAMPERS TO THE FLEET TRUCKS AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. FORD'S FIX FOR THE PROBLEM LASTED 2-3K MILES, AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER WITH AN OEM STEERING DAMPER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SAWGRASS FORD (14501 W SUNRISE BLVD, SUNRISE, FL 33323), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

MY TRUCK STARTED DOING THE DEATH WOBBLE WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. I OWNED A FORD DEALERSHIP FROM 1993 TO 1998. I'VE BEEN DRIVING F350 TRUCKS GOR 40 YEARS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. FORD MUST DO SOMETHING TO GIX THE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING ON I80 WHILE GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR I HIT A SMALL LIP ON THE BRIDGE. I'VE PRETTY MUCH QUIT DRIVING MY TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN.

NHTSA ODI 11315946

WHEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY ABOVE 60 MPH THE VEHICLE CAN DEVELOP A VIOLENT FRONT END SHIMMY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP, POTHOLE, OR BRIDGE TRANSITION. UPON RESEARCH, THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A FORD SUPERDUTY DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER ALREADY TWICE, AND SO FAR AFTER SPENDING $855 AND NOW THEY ARE ASKING FOR $670 MORE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE WILL BE RESOLVED. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND I AM VERY WORRIED WITH MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE CARS AROUND ME WHEN THIS VIBRATION OCCURS. THE ONLY TO REGAIN CONTROL, IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW TO ~ 40MPH. THIS IN ITSELF IS DANGEROUS IN 5 LANE CITY TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] AS PROOF THAT THIS REPORT HAS BEEN VIEWED.

OWING A DIESEL PICK-UP WE HAVE TO ADD CETANE BOOSTER TO EVERY TANK OF FUEL TO BOOST THE CETANE PERCENTAGE TO KEEP THE ENGINE OPERATING AT PEAK PERFORMANCE. I USE ONLY "MOTORCRAFT CETANE BOOSTER & PERFORMANCE IMPROVER', IT COMES IN A 20 OZ BOTTLE. THE ISSUE IS THERE'S A ROUND CARDBOARD UNDER THE CAP THAT'S SUPPOSED TO STAY THERE TO PREVENT IT FROM LEAKING, IT DOESN'T. IT STICKS TO THE BOTTLE AND IF YOU AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION IT WILL GO INTO YOUR FUEL TANK AND GET STUCK IN THE FUEL PUMP AND SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK. IT HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING. I WAS STRANDED 3 TIMES TILL I FOUND A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I LOOK ONLINE AND IT'S HAPPENED MANY TIMES TO OTHER OWNERS AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW AND THE LABOR TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT'S THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE THEN SHUT OFF. THANK GOD I WAS ON A 35 MPH ROAD. IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT 70 THE POWER STEERING AND THE POWER BREAKING WILL SHUT OFF, SUPER HARD TO CONTROL, VERY DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK WEIGHS ABOUT 6,500 LBS. . I'VE READ ONLINE IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND CREATE A BOTTLE THAT DOESN'T FALL APART. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IN TRAFFIC SOMEBODY COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS TRUCK HAS AN OCCASIONAL WOBBLE THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN IN MOTION,SPEED DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A MAJOR FACTOR. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THIS IS PREVALENT ON MOST ALL SUPER DUTY PICKUPS FROM ABOUT 2010 TO PRESENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A NHTSB ISSUE FOR A RECALL AS THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME, OH YEAH WE CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO AS TO JUST HOW PREVALENT THIS IS AND WHAT FORD IS DOING TO FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE MOST COMMON TERM FOR MY PROBLEM IS CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. I AM SPENT A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS TO FIX THE TRUCK ONLY TO LEARN THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TO DATE FORD HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS BETWEEN 50 AND 70 MILES AN HOUR AND HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS A HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND MILES ON IT, THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY AT 120000 ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO.

I OWN A 2015 F350 SUPERDUTY. I HAVE NOTICED HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 50 MPH OR HIGHER WHEN CROSSING OVER A TRANSITION IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END SUSPENSION/STEERING CAN GO INTO A VIOLENT SHIMMING THAT CAN ONLY BE OVERCOME BY A RAPID DEACCELERATION TO LESS ~30MPH. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT THE SHIMMING IS SO VIOLENT ITS HAD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, CROSSING OVER A BRIDE ON RT 222 SOUTH IN LANCASTER CO PENNA, THE TRUCK CROSSED A TRANSITION A THE END OF A BRIDGE. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE OTHER CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS HITTING ME AS MY TRUCK WAS IN THIS RESONANCE UNTIL I COULD GET IT UNDER CONTROL. THIS ONLY OCCURS SO FAR ABOVE 50MPH, BUT, IT IS MUCH MORE COMMON AT 65-70MPH. I AM TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION. THIS SITUATION DEVELOPED AT ~ 76,000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS 92,000 MILES NOW. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE EVENT ONLINE I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE "FORD SUPERDUTY DEATH WOBBLE." I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS TERM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS SITUATION ON QUITE A FEW FORD F250-F350 VEHICLES. I NO LONGER FEEL VERY SAFE DRIVING A $72,000 VEHICLE THAT IS KNOWN TO HAVE A DEATH WOBBLE, WHICH AS AN ENGINEER, WOULD APPEAR TO BE A DIRECT RESULT OF AN INADEQUATE DESIGN BY THE OEM. I BELIEVE WE NEED THE GOVERNMENTS HELP RESOLVING THIS SITUATION SINCE FORD DENIES THE EXISTENCE OF THIS COMMON SITUATION.

THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH OUR TRUCKS, IT'S A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM THAT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. IN A 10 MILE RIDE IT WOULD HAPPEN 3-4X AT 70 TO 75MPH HITTING THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, THE TRUCK WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. VERY DIFFICULT ON A HIGHWAY, *BF

WHEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK ON HIGHWAY AT 70-75MPH, THE TRUCK HITS A SMALL BUMP AND GOES INTO AN EXTREME DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE NIGHT OF DRIVING. UPON RESEARCH, IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG FORD SUPER DUTIES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT IS NOT SAFE WHATSOEVER. THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH 47,000 MILES. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T67905_DS972988

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING I HIT A BUMP THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO START TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. I PUT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BUT IT CONTINUED TO WOBBLE UNTIL I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. IT NEARLY CAUSED A ACCIDENT. SCARED ME TO DEATH. I KNOW OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, I HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

SAME PROBLEM W/ THE DEF HEATING UNIT AS ON EARLIER/SIMILAR F-SERIES TRUCKS THAT HAVE COMPELLED FORD TO ISSUE EXTENDED WARRANTY (SEE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18M01) -- A DTC208A ERROR COMES UP, INDICATING FAILURE IN THE DEF SENDER/HEATER. NOT CLEAR WHY FORD IS OMITTING THE 2015 F350 POWERSTROKES WHEN THEY'RE USING THE SAME PART AND BUILT IN THE SAME FACTORY AS THE MODELS THAT HAVE HAD THE WARRANTY EXTENDED.

VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS AND THE DRIVER WAS STARTING THE VEHICLE. UPON STARTING, THE DRIVER NOTICED FLAMES AND SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD IMMEDIATELY. NOTHING SEEMED OUT OF THE ORDINARY BEFORE THE FLAMES AND SMOKE WERE NOTICED. FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD NEXT TO THE WINDSHIELD. DRIVER THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, POPPED THE HOOD RELEASE, AND SPRAYED 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS UNDER THE HOOD AND ON THE MOTOR EXTINGUISHING THE FLAMES. THEN 911 WAS CALLED.

ON MY 2115 FORD F 350 POWERSTROKE DIESEL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DE RATED THE POWER. I READ THE CEL CODE AND ITS PB20A WHICH IS A REDACTANT HEATER PERFORMANCE FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR ALL MODELS 2011-14, F250-F 550 AND 2015 F450, F550 ONLY. FORD ISN'T COVERING THE F250 OF F350 IN THE 2015 YEARS. MY TRUCK MEETS THE DATE AND MANUFACTURING PLANT CRITERIA AND IT IS NO DRIVABLE BECAUSE OF THIS EMISSIONS CONTROL PART FAILURE. THE REDACDANT HEATER KEEPS THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID FROM FREEZING AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UN DRIVABLE WHEN IT FALIS.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF STATE (NY) WHEN AN ALERT STATED "LOW FUEL PRESSURE) AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 5-10 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. UPON EXITING, THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY STRANDED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WHICH INFORMED ME THE BOSCH HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT DELIVERING THE REQUIRED PRESSURE (/,000 PSI). UPON CONTACTING THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, I WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED WARRANTY MILES (100,000/129,239) AND THE COST OF THE PUMP WAS $1,245 WITH EXCHANGE PRIOR TO LABOR CHARGES. IN ALL, FORD DEALER WANTS NEARLY $5,000 TO REPAIR THE PUMP WHICH WAS POORLY DESIGNED.

THE CONTACT SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL THE SHAKING CEASED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT DROVE TO LARRY H. MILLER FORD LINCOLN DRAPER (11442 LONE PEAK PKWY, DRAPER, UT 84020, 801-590-0561) WHERE A FEW UNKNOWN PARTS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED.
