What 1,151 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Ford F-250 Supercab

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE CAUSING THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE SO BADLY SHE COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. SHE HAD TO BRAKE VERY QUICKLY AND TRIED TO GET OFF ROAD CAUSING HER TO HIT A TREE BRANCH AND DENTING TRUCK AND CRACKING WINDOW. I HAVE SINCE COME TO FIND THIS TO BE 'FORD DEATH WOBBLE'

VEHICLE STARTS TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY AFTER HITTING MINOR BUMPS IN ROAD WHEN TRAVELING AT ANYTHING EXCESS 25MPH. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX ACTIVE RECALL FOR STEERING DAMPENER BLAMING FEATHERED TIRES WHICH WE BELIEVE ARE A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING OF STEERING.

WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-10 I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET OFF THE NORTH BOUND OFF RAMP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO "WOBBLE" I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND THIS NOT BEING THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED I KNEW NOT TO HIT THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK CONTINUED GOING WEST, I WENT THROUGH TWO MEDIANS AND HIT A SIGN BEFORE STOPPING IN A SOUTH BOUND ON COMING TRAFFIC LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE DOCUMENTED TIMES WITH TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WERE ALSO GIVEN A LIST OF OTHER OCCURRENCES. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED IN FOR THE ISSUE I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THAT POSSIBLY GETTING NEW TIRES OR ALIGNMENT MAY HELP. NOTHING HELPED, I WAS JUST IN ON JULY 30TH FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE RECALL I LATER FOUND OUT ABOUT WAS NOT ADDRESSED. WHEN THE ISSUE WAS DISCUSSED WITH JONES FORD I WAS TOLD "LUCKY THING IS NO ONE HAS DIED FROM THIS"

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL! I WAS GOING 65 MPH AND I COULD BARLEY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY! BOTH OF MY WRISTS ARE SWOLLEN AND BRUISED AS WELL AS MY RIGHT THUMB. MY NAIL ON MY RIGHT THUMB IS CRACKED AND BRUISED AS WELL AS A RESULT OF HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AS SOON AS I COULD BUT I SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE AND THEN INTO A DITCH. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME, IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE EACH TIME! THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND I WANT JUSTICE. THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 3 SECONDS CLOSER I WOULD HAVE HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION GOING 65 MPH! THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY AND IT IS TERRIFYING! *TR

ELECTRONIC TAILGATE OPENS UP ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE PARKED. I NEARLY LOST MY CARGO DUE TO THIS WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I INJURED MY HAND WHEN THE TAILGATE OPENED ON ITS OWN AND WAS PINCHED BETWEEN THE TAIL GATE AND TRAILER JACK. NOTHING BONES WERE FRACTURED BUT WAS REALLY SORE AND HAD BRUISING AND LACERATION. I FOUND ONLINE HOW THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED IN THE 2017 FORD SUPER DUTY BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I HAVE A 2019 SUPERDUTY AND WAS INJURED AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD THE TAILGATE OPEN ON ITS OWN 12 TIMES NOW AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SPECIFIC ACTION/CONFIGURATION THAT TRIGGERS THIS. IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM. PLEASE HELP
