Vehicle shakes violently when traveling 60mph or higher on freeways after hitting a bump in the road. have to slow down immediately to remain in control of vehicle. happened 6 times in last 2 weeks.
I was traveling down the highway at approximately 60 mph and hit a bump. my vehicle began shaking violently. i had to abruptly decelerate down to 35 mph to get ot to stop shaking. i believe it's called a death wobble. i've had my vehicle in to the ford dealership twice to have it fixed to no avail. i had the whole front end rebuilt. $1500 down the drain. i had a 2012 f350 that did the same thing. this wobble has happened to me many times. most recently it happened on 12/22/2019.
Shaking of steering wheel 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 and unsafe.*dt consumer stated 6 complaints on 6 different trucks on same issue. *jb

My 2017 f350 has 15,000 miles on it and has experienced extreme death wobble at least 10 times. if you are going over 70 on the turnpike and hit a bump this happens. you need to make ford recall this before people die. my truck is 100 percent stock except for a rear sway bar i added, and has never been off road. it happened 9-28-19 3 times but has done this before. i have an appointment to have it fixed 12-19-19, but from what i have read fords fixes do not really fix the problem. please make ford recall this before people start dying on the highways.
While driving highway-speed about 65 mph, the truck hits a grove in the highway road and started to shake violently and uncontrollable. i slowed down while trying to keep the truck in one lane and it stopped the bucking/wobble action when the speed was reduced to 20 mph. this has happened twice in the past week and vehicle is scheduled to be looked at in the service center.
2017 vehicle with 26,000 miles. outside drw wheels, both passenger and driver side have presented corrosion and are losing air pressure stationary and in motion due to incompatible metals on rim and valve stem. recall needs to be enacted and rims need to be replaced.
I had a continual lost of air pressure in one of my tires during the removal of the original equipment tire at discount tires the manager informed me that the chrome was flaking off on the inside of the rims where the tire seals to the rim a possible manufacture defect that could cause poor seal and deflation of my tires or worst. if not for the nail puncturing my tire i would not have found the defect in the manufacturing of the 4 rims on my truck. because the one tire was not repairable i had to buy 4 new tires that how i found that all 4 of the rims had the same defect. my concern is my truck safe to drive on these 4 rims or could i have a tire failure because of a lost of tire seal from the chrome flaking off inside the rims. i do have picture.
Tire valve stems are leaking repeatedly, new valve stems will start leaking sometimes the next day. while the dealer is replacing the stems under warranty (bumper to bumper) this is causing a dangerous condition. 25% of air can be lossed overnight. it seems like the manufacturer is trying to run out the warranty and leave consumers with the price of the stems afterward. in 15,000 miles, one of the wheels on the truck has had 4 stems put in.
Air leaking from tire valve stems. i have had to take the truck to the dealer several times for the same issue.
While driving on the highway about 50mph i passed over a small bump (roadway to overpass) in the road. the front end of my truck began to shake violently. i had to pull over to the side of the road and stop to get it to stop shaking. this has happened a few times in the past but the shaking has not been as violent and has stopped when letting off the throttle (not this time). this seems to be getting worse. my truck has 11,450 miles.
Hauling horse trailer with 4 horses, hit a bump in road and vehicle began shaking and almost lost control on a 5 lane highway thru slc ut. also learned after the fact ford death wobble.
While traveling at approximately 65mph truck developed a high speed wobble. wife was driving at the time and was barely able to get the truck stopped without losing control. the truck that has 26000 miles on it had no payload shook so hard that my wife was unable to hold on to the steering wheel and had to apply the brakes to get it stopped while trying to stay in her lane and on the road.
While driving at normal highway speeds (65) an 'extreme' wobble developed in front steering and suspension. steering wheel deflection was around 30 degrees side to side from top center. a fifth wheel travel trailer was being towed and the wobble resulted in departure from travel lane; however, no accident occurred. speed was reduced to 20 mph before wobble ceased and trailer brakes we the only effective thing to straighten truck. application of truck brakes seemed to worsen the wobble. volumes of information exist on this issue labeled as 'death wobble.' https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4jv7l8bbo1q https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8euq6f8rgt4 vehicle is at purchasing dealer for repair. i am happy to speak with nhtsa if deemed appropriate.
Problem # 1 vehicle shakes violently while in motion when it hits a small bump or pothole. it has happened few time in the last couple weeks, on 2/15/2019 while driving at about 60 mhm the vehicle hit a small bump and the vehicle from suspension started to shake so violently that i almost lost control of it. i had to apply brakes and reduce speed by 50% to stop the shaking. problem 2. front air monitoring system failure. it all the sudden started to give wrong readings in both front tires.
Truck shaking, was told tire inflation was not being maintained. all valve stems leaking since day i bought it. one tire had fix a flat in it when i bought it. it took ford 6 months to replace valve stems correctly. after this truck still shakes on any rough road, if hit any real ruff truck violent shake have to stop to get it to stop. now since tire pressure can be maintained since valove stems fixed. they tell me front tires need replaced from not maintaining tire pressures. that is why truck shakes. the truck has shakenough since the first month i owned it it march 2018, this has caused front tires to were on both outside edges. the truck shakes so bad, i have ran off 7 times, ran two other cars off road, and pulled over for suspected dui told officer what happened and if i didn't get it fixed he write me ticket defective equipment and deem vehicle unsafe to operate. always in motion, any speed, any ruff road, even going across briggs anything that is not perfect smooth road
My vehicle aluminum rims all corroded around the valve stem causing them to loose air. ford replaced all the rims at 10,000 miles. they told me they were aware of the problem and had corrected it. at 39,500 miles the new rims did the same thing corroding around the valve stem causing the air to leak out. the problem was not corrected.ford agreed the rims were defective and would only replace them if i paid over half of the new cost. i am always fearful that the tires will loose air at high speed and cause a crash.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f-350. the contact stated that the tires were losing air pressure and the low tire pressure indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to robinson brothers ford (11455 airline hwy, baton rouge, la 70816, (855) 493-1385), where it was informed that the tire pressure monitor system was functioning as designed. the vehicle was not repaired however the contact believed that the system needed to be recalibrated. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 27,000. the vin was not available.
Two issues.: 1) i had a hard time keeping the tires inflated to the correct levels. after four or five trips back to the dealership, this issue may be corrected. it was so bad i had to purchase a pump to make sure i could pump the tires up when i was away from home -- rving. the dealership would have to have known about the issue when they sold me the vehicle. the truck could lose 30 pounds of tire pressure over a two week period. i purchased the truck in march 2018. 2) on four or five occasions the tailgate has fallen open. once it did it while i was towing a trailer. on the other occasions it has fallen open without us knowing it. today, my wife used the truck. she got home and parked the truck in the driveway. when she went out to check the mail, she found the tail gate open. we recently complained to fox ford, the dealership that sold us the truck. when my wife took the truck in for an oil change, she complained about the tailgate issue. they claimed they "tightened it" according to my wife. well, the problem has not been solved. i will complain again to them tomorrow.
Valve stem leakage problem on wheels. corrosion between valve stem and wheel due to dissimilar metal of wheel and stem. causes sudden loss of air pressure in tires.
Right side rear outside dual rim will not hold air. took vehicle to sakelaris ford in camdenton, mo. first visit they replaced the valve stem with a new one. a week later the wheel was still leaking. took vehicle back and they said they could not find anything wrong. wheel continued to leak. service manager failed to initiate a claim with ford and has since quit the dealer. now the dealer's general manager refused to submit a warranty claim for this problem. the slow leak is well documented on various ford forums on the internet. most have the same results; the dealers do not want to handle the situation. 2017 is the first model year that tpms sensors were used on f350 fords. there is a corrosion problem around the rim opening which leads to the slow leak. i have checked the tire pressure both stationary and while driving using the tpms monitor.
Sudden loss of tire pressure due to leaking tpms valve stems. this is the sixth similar failure since the vehicle was new in 3/2017. the five previous occurrences resulted in warranty replacement of the tpms/valve stem unit. there is a sudden loss of 20 to 30 pounds of tire pressure, followed by loss of 20 pounds per day. this has occurred both while driving, and while parked.
At 10,000 miles the tire pressure sensor valve stems began leaking while the truck was stationary or driving causing low tire pressure. i have had the truck in to have them replaced 11 times and the issue still persists. ford responded saying the problem was a dealer issue not theirs.
At 21000 miles my 2017 ford f350 drw had two wheels with tpms sensors leak air at the stems. both were aluminum rims. both started leaking on the same day while stationary and under our shelter with no damage of foreign body coming in contact with stems or rims. both stems were removed by a professional tire dealer and found that replacing gasket didn't solve this problem. there were no replacement stems available for this vehicle in stock or for order because of demand for by other owners needing replacements also.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f-350. while the vehicle was stationary, it experienced a series of slow leaks and corrosion between the alloy wheels and the valve stems. the contact took the vehicle to an independent tire facility where the failure was confirmed. the repair facility replaced the front passenger wheel and the rear outside driver side wheel. the contact stated that the failure later occurred with the rear outside passenger side wheel, which was replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
Wheels on this vehicle are aluminum alloy with steel valve stems. because these are two different metals they are causing a corrosion problem which in turn is causing the tires to lose air pressure. if driving at highway speeds i believe that if the wheels and tires were to loose pressure quickly that this could lead to a catastrophic accident. i have read of multiple complaints of this same problem on the internet but ford has done nothing to address the issue. corrosion appears to be not only inside the valve stems but also on the wheels. replacing the valve stem will do nothing to correct the problem as it will only occur again and again. i bought this vehicle in may of 2018 (new) and it has been occurring ever since. i continually have to fill them with air. took it into ford under warranty but the issue was not corrected.
Tires losing air pressure. driving and in motion.
Drw aluminum wheels have a corrosion failure where the tpms stem makes contact with the rim. this causes air leaks at the stem. in my case the leaks have been slow however i fear using the vehicle to tow as a rapid loss could cause an accident. i've had both rear stems replaced and now the front is starting to loose pressure.

Cast aluminum wheels leaking air from area around steel valve stem where corrosion is occurring. all have been replaced once and one was replaced twice. vehicle has 29k miles. the air loss has been both slow and quick. this is dangerous as i pull a 13,000 pound trailer. dealers are aware of many cases. ford will not replace wheels with a safe product and continues to replace with the same defective wheel and valve.
The tire valve stems leak. i have replaced 8 valve stems and i have owned my trust approximately 1 year. in some instances the leak rate was very significant, requiring frequent stops to re-inflate the tires. ford has not addressed the problem - the company simply replaces the valve stems and leaks resume within 2-3 months. this was a major safety issue recently when we were towing a large load in the mountains of colorado. ford has refused to acknowledge the problem and have refused to correct the root cause. / the vale stems leak under all conditions - while driving, while towing a load, while parked.
This is a problem with duel rear wheel trucks the high pressure valve stems are failing causing rapid air loss to front and rear outer wheels ( aluminum rims ) this will cause tire failure resulting in crash and or roll over this has happened in motion and stationary *bf *bf *tr *js
