OVER THE PAST 5 MONTHS (IT IS NOW 1/30/2020) THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, TYPICALLY HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 50-80 MPH. ALTHOUGH, IT HAS HAPPENED AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 40-45. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO APPARENT PROVOCATION, I.E., HITTING A POTHOLE, TURNING, HITTING THE BRAKES, ETC. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE IT STOP. I'VE TRIED HITTING THE BRAKES, SLAMMING THE BRAKES, CONTINUING TO HOLD MY SPEED STEADY, ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY, AND PRAYING TO GOD TO MAKE IT STOP. NOTHING WORKS, IT JUST EVENTUALLY STOPS BUT NOT BEFORE TRAFFIC CLEARS ALL AROUND ME. IT IS NOTICEABLE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE SEEN DRIVERS HIT THE BRAKES AND FALL BACK IN TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STEADY OR IN MY LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES THE VEHICLE BOUNCE ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STEADY OR STRAIGHT. IT IS TERRIFYING AND UNNERVING. I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAUL TRAILERS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT ALMOST DAILY. MANY TIMES I AM ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON CITY STREETS. IF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, THE DAMAGE WILL BE COSTLY AND MAY KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF. I AM AFRAID TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THESE UNEXPECTED, VIOLENT SHAKES HAPPEN WHILE I AM HAULING HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

RETURNING FROM NASHVILLE TO MANDEVILLE, LA WE HI IT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN VOLENTLY VIBRATING. SIMILAR TO A BLOWN TIRE. WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

VEHICLE IS 100% FACTORY EQUIPMENT .NO CHANGES MADE TO VEHICLE. CURRENT ODOMETER 23,750 MILES. HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" 3 TIMES ALWAYS WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH. EXTREMELY UNSAFE. TYPICALLY IT BEGINS TRAVELLING ABOUT 70 MPH AND CONTACTING AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD OR SOME SIMILAR UNEVEN PAVEMENT. TRUCK FRONT END BEGINS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO ABOUT 50 MPH. HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND KNOW THIS IS ALARMINGLY COMMON ON 2017-18-19 F250/350. I PERSONALLY HAVE 2 FRIENDS WHO OWN 2018 & 2019 F-250 AND BOTH HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME "DEATH WOBBLE". DEALER STATES THE NEEDED PART TO REPAIR PROBLEM IS ON BACKORDER. ALSO STATED CURRENTLY THERE ARE 43K OF THESE COMPONENTS ON B/O. THESE NUMBERS MAKE IT EXTREMELY APPARENT FORD HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF UNSAFE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE DEFECT USUALLY BEGINS AT 15K TO 25K MILES. AS THESE TRUCKS REACH THAT THRESHOLD IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT FORD ISSUE A NATIONAL RECALL ON THESE MODEL TRUCKS.

DROVE OVER A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD AND FRONT END OF TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE SO BAD HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET IT TO STOP.THAT SHAKE WAS ALSO FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL.I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 TO 60 MPH.

DEATH WOBBLE WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT 45 MPH + GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED NEW TRUCK HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DEALER DOES NOTHING

NHTSA ODI 11291889

MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 21000 MILES. I'VE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' 4-5 TIMES IN THE PAST BUT ON A RECENT TRIP OF ONLY 250 MILES, IT OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. TRAVEL SPEED WAS BETWEEN 60-70MPH. USUALLY HAPPENED ON COUNTY ROADS THAT AREN'T PERFECTLY SMOOTH, BUT EVEN ON FRESH ASPHALT....ONE LITTLE BUMP CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION LINKAGE, VEHICLE WEIGHT OR WHEEL ALIGNMENT (PROBABLY ALL OF THE ABOVE).

FRONT WHEELS VIOLENTLY WOBBLE WHEN CROSSING ROAD DEVIATIONS LIKE POTHOLES ,BRIDGE JOINTS AND ANGLED RR CROSSINGS . ORIGINALLY IT STARTED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT CITY STREET SPEEDS MORE AND MORE.

NHTSA ODI 11289966

LOSS OF CONTROL AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER A POTHOLE OR ROUGH ROAD SURFACE. THE FRONT TIRES START TO BOUNCE OR OSCILLATE AND STEERING BECOMES DANGEROUSLY ERRATIC. YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES HARD TO LOWER THE SPEED. EVERYTHING LOOSE IN THE CABIN CAN BEGINS MOVING AROUND AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO HOLD. IF YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH THERE IS VERY REAL DANGER OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. DESCRIPTIONS ONLINE OF FORD F250 TRUCKS CALL IT THE DEATH-WOBBLE.

NHTSA ODI 11286833

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE THE STEERING TO BEGIN TO WOBBLE AND MAKE THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLE, SLOWING DOWN ALLOWS THE DRIVER TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT HAS BEEN CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE BE MANY PEOPLE AND APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 25000 MILES. CONTINUES TO THIS DAY AT 45000 MILES, SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

DRIVING TRUCK ON HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 73 MPH. STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING BACK AND FOURTH BADLY, WOBBLING. APPLIED BRAKES AND IT SETTLED DOWN. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO DONE AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON NEWLY ASPHALT HIGHWAY. APLLIED BRAKES AND IT SETTLED DOWN. I ALSO HAD MY TIRES BALANCED AT TWO DIFFERENT TIRE SHOPS THAT I DEAL WITH ALL THE TIME. ALL THIS IS DRVING STRAIGHT ON SMOOTH ASPHAULT HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID STEERING DAMPNER (I THINK WAS THE NAME) WAS BAD. REPLACED IT AND SAID THEY DROVE IT AND WAS OK. TRUCK HAD AROUND 17,800 WHEN IT FIRST DID THIS. TRUCK STILL HAD A VERY VERY SLIGHT RIGHT TO LEFT SHAKE.THIS WAS DONE ON 9/20/2019, 18,257 MILES. DID NOT HAVE A "DEATH WOBBLE" AGAIN UNTIL 11/15/2019. IT WAS HORRIBLE. ON INTERSATE FOURTY IN ARKANSAS DRIVING ON STRAIGHT ROAD ABOUT 78MPH AROUND 8:00 AT NIGHT.. DID NOT FEEL ANY BUMP. WORSE WOBBLE I HAVE HAD ON MY TRUCK . THE WOBBLE DID NO STOP UNTIL I GOT OFF INTERSTATE AND STOPPED THE TRUCK. SCARED ME AND MY BROTHER TO DEATH!!! DID NOT DO IT AGAIN ON WAY HOME, THIS IS ABOUT 350 MILES. STILL HAS LITTLE SHAKE TO STEERING WHEEL THAT I SAID EARLIER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS HAD BEEN MY WIFE OR GRAND DAUGHTER. THIS IS A VERY VERY VSRY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I CALLED MY DEALER WHEN AND HE SAID BRING IT BACK AND TRY NOT TO DRIVE IT OVER 70MPH. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WOTH IT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF SOME OF THIS, BUT NOT THE LAST TIME

I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 10 HEADING TO JUNCTION TEXAS. THERE WAS AN AREA OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND AS I WAS COMING OFF OF THIS CONSTRUCTION THERE WAS SOME UNEVEN ROAD AND BUMPS. MY FRONT LEFT TIRE STARTED TO SHAKE, THE STEERING WJHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT SO BAD THAT THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. I HAD TO GENTLY APPLY THE BRAKES BUT UNABLE TO STEER APPROPRIATELY WE VEERED INTO THE MEDIAN OF I10. I HAD BOTH MY 3 AND 6 YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK. HAD THERE BEEN A MEDIAN WALL OR TRAFFIC THIS LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES ON OUR TRIP BOTH AT BRIDGE INTERFACES.

2017 F250 WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEED OF 65 ON MAJOR HWY THE STEERING WENT INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHERE THERE WAS A SLIGHT IMPERFECTION IN HWY VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

NHTSA ODI 11281987

WHILE DRIVING (EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR BRIDGE LINK THE VEHICLE BEGINS VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON THE FRONT END. I WOULD HAVE TO HOLD TO STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT CORRECTS ITSELF. WE HAVE READ ON AN ONLINE FORUM TO REFERENCE TSB #18-2268 WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE WITH 2017-2019 FORD F-250S. ATTACHED IS A WORK ORDER I FOUND ONLINE FROM SOMEONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 66 MPH OVER A BUMP OR RIDGES IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY VIBRATED.

I OWN A 2017 FORD F250 THAT I BOUGHT NEW AND NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. IN AUGUST 2019 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AT APPROX 60MPH ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND I HIT A SLIGHT FROST HEAVE ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO APPROX. 25MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC HEAD ON COLLISION. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH VIOLENT SHAKING FROM A VEHICLE, IT FELT AS IF ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE HELD ON BY A SINGLE LUG NUT AND I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL. I CALLED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SCHEDULE ME FOR REPAIRS. I LATER RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND REALIZED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS A NAME "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IT IS COMMON IN FORD TRUCKS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE SINCE BUT I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM HONESTLY VERY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS THAT DAY IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I JUST LEARNED OF THIS SITE TO REPORT SAFETY ISSUES OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE DONE IT MUCH SOONER. IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. I AM FEARFUL THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE FATALITIES BEFORE THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE IS CORRECTED.

THE TRUCK BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS. I PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY ARM TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE SHAKING WENT AWAY AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 68MPH, AND DID NOT RETURN AS I ACCELERATED FURTHER. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON 11/12/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 38K MILES.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VIOLENT, SUSTAINED SHAKING ON THE HIGHWAY IF I HAPPEN TO HIT ONE OUR MANY AVAILABLE BUMPS. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND CANNOT BE STOPPED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETED STOPPED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW COUNTLESS REFERENCES TO SUCH A PROBLEM INCLUDING LIMITLESS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. IF THIS PROBLEM IS THAT WELL-PUBLICIZED, THERE IS NO WAY THAT FORD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. MY LOCAL DEALER, POYNTER FORD IN SEYMOUR, INDIANA, CLAIMED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THE FORD CORPORATION'S CHAT LINE POLITELY DIRECTED ME TO YOUR WEBSITE. IN SHORT, I, AND ALL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE, ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE. THIS SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR AT SPEEDS LESS THAN ONE WOULD BE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. I ASKED THE CHAT LINE REP WHAT THE TERM FOR THE EVENT WAS, WHAT PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50-70 MPH, I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AFTER DRIVING OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. I LITERALLY HAVE TO STOP MY TRUCK BEFORE I CAN REGAIN CONTROL. THE VIBRATION LITERALLY WANTS TO THROW ME OUT OF MY CHAIR. I CAN'T EVEN HOLD ONTO THE STEERING.

WHILE TOWING A 7000 LB TRAILER/RV, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING BADLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON CANADA HWY 104 BETWEEN ANTIGONISH NS AND MONCTON NB. AFTER STAYING IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN MONCTON NB, THE SHAKING HAPPEN ONE MORE TIME THE NEXT DAY ON HWY 1 WHILE DRIVING TO SAINT JOHN. EACH TIME, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE SHAKING STOP AT ABOUT 35 MPH. EACH TIME, THE SHAKING STARTED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH, AND CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 26,000 MILES WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING. THE SAME TRAILER SETUP HAS BE USED FORM THOUSANDS OF MILE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE SHAKING WAS VERY BAD AND I AM VERY THANKFUL NO OTHER CARS WERE CLOSE BY WHEN IT HAPPEN.

2017 PRE OWNED FORD F250 DIESEL PURCHASED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. PURCHASED TRUCK NOV 2018. EXPERIENCED 6-7 EPISODES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ONLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50-60 MPH WHEN HITTING SEMI ROUGH ROAD. IT BEGINS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY AND WON'T STOP EVEN WHEN CONTINUING ON TO SMOOTH ROAD. ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER IT STARTS IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 50 MPH (THEREBY FRONT LOADING THE SUSPENSION BY APPLYING THE BRAKES) WHICH IS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, BE AWARE THIS TRUCK IS TOTALLY STOCK FROM FORD. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS OF ANY KIND. TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT 11 MONTHS. TRUCK IS GREAT IN EVERY OTHER WAY AND DRIVES REALLY WELL IN EVERY OTHER WAY. THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, BUT IS MORE LIKELY THE ROUGHER THE ROAD IS AT THOSE SPEEDS. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP IN AUG 2019 AND THEY REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS IN FRONT END SUSPENSION ALL FREE OF CHARGE. IT JUST DID THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN THIS LAST WEEKEND 10/12/19. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A 1K MILE TRIP THIS NEXT WEEK SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND TRUCK IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE ON 11/4/19. WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS DOES NEARLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. IT AT LEAST CAUSES IT TO VEER 1-2 FEET OUT OF THE LANE YOU ARE IN. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN TOWING A 5-10K POUND LOAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY LESS DANGEROUS ITEMS RECALLED ON VARIOUS VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSED. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED ONE DAY WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION ADVANCED WEAR OF FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS AND TIRES OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.
