The truck has developed what is called the death wobble. truck has 53,000 miles on it .took to ford at 47,000 miles and they replaced the steering damper assy. happened again today after being on highway traveling about 65 mph. hit small bump and truck started shaking uncontrolably. had to hit brakes hard with cars behind me to slow down to about 30mph before it stopped. not happy with putting my life or others in danger.will be calling ford again on monday about issue.
This truck when traveling over 70 mph goes into a violent wobble and shakes and moves all over the road. especially while traveling over 70 and hitting a pot hole or bridge seam we have been on a major highway with semi trucks around us and the truck starts to violently shake and lose control. we took it to the dealer and they added a streaking stabilizer. one week later it started up again.
While traveling down the interstate at a speed of 70mph hit a bridge that was raised (rough bridge)causing the vehicle to violently shake (death wobble)...almost lost control of vehicle. extremely terrifying. could have killed my husband and i! after vehicle was dropped to a speed of approx 35-40 mph the truck straightened out.
I was traveling on a highway doing approximately 70 mph (speed limit). when i hit a bridge expansion joint the truck started violently vibrating to the point i was losing control of the vehicle. i rapidly decelerated and the violent shaking stopped after i slowed the vehicle to approximately 25 mph. the shaking was so violent i was seconds away from veering off the road into the trees. there is a technical bulletin from ford about this issue, but it is not a recall. someone is likely going to die for what is obviously a design and/or manufacturing defect. the technical bulletin from ford on this issue is: tsb# 18- 2268. nthis needs to be a recall.
Horrible death wobble. have taken it into the dealer twice now. they cannot fix it. if you research it on the internet is a big design flaw because there is not enough caster adjustment. this is going to kill someone if it has not already happened. please have them fix this. i do have a video
While driving on the highway and you hit a bump the trucks starts shaking violently. i read its called death wobble. it has done it multiples times, and it is hard to control. i had ford perform the tsb for this and it did not help.
Truck shakes uncontrollably after hitting a bump in the road going 70 mph. dealer can't find a problem and the shaking happens every day at highway speeds and below. almost went off the road and barely missed hitting another car. have to slow down almost to a stop to make it quit.
Steering wheel started shaking violently out of nowhere while driving on the interstate.i was traveling approximately 70 mph when out of the blue the vehicle/steering wheel violently started shaking and i started losing control of the vehicle. i had to hold on to the steering wheel as tight as i could and brake and it finally came under control. i literally thought i was going to die, that was the scariest moment of my life!! i will not drive this vehicle on the interstate again, nor will i let my children ride in this vehicle again. this is the 4th time this has happened and it is a very serious problem with this truck and it is very frightening.
Experience what is called the "death wobble", severe steering oscillation. traveling at highway speed 60 mph or better hit a bump in the road. oscillation started, to regain positive control of vehicle i had to reduce speed to under 35 miles an hour. in traffic at 60 mph is extremely dangerous if there is no shoulder or if you are in the fast lane. luckily each time this occurs i have been in a rural area. if i were on the dc beltway and this occurred, without a doubt this would cause a multiple vehicle event with injuries..
Driving in forward motion above 50 miles per hour, the vehicle will experience an uncontrollable wobble when hitting any size bump in the road. this is not an intermittent event. this occurs with vehicle empty or under tow (loaded). the only way to correct it is to slow down below 40 mph. i have researched this phenomenon online and have found hundreds of customers experiencing the same issue. most have reported ford is aware of the problem. it has also been discussed in the forum that ford used to cover the repair, but is no longer covering under warranty. my truck only has 20000 miles on it, i only use it for everyday driving and towing a camper under normal conditions. tires are in good condition and inflated properly. the condition presents on any type road at speeds above 50 mph. i have also noted a creaking/ clunking sound during slow speed tight turns in the parking lot.
When traveling on the highway and run over bumps or bridge expansion joints the truck will vibrate so bad you have to come to a complete stop to get it to stop. this is very dangerous to me and my family and other drivers on the road. have taken it in to ford dealership three times so far
While traveling on a straight country road at, or slightly above the 55mph speed limit, the front tires of my 2017 ford f250 4x4 truck suddenly began shaking violently "aka death wobble". the only way to stop this shaking was with hard application of the brakes. the mileage on the truck at the time was slightly over 11,000 miles. this has occurred a number of times since, and often times while traveling on freeways, and at freeway speeds (60- 75 mph). since the first incident, i have noticed the shaking follows when one of the front tires is jolted by a bump- such as a transition between concrete and asphalt, or other uneven road conditions. this starts the front suspension in a back and forth bouncing motion and violent shaking of the steering wheel. again requiring sudden braking of the truck in order to stop the wobbling. the most recent incident(s) occurred this past weekend while towing a 5th wheel trailer. the mileage passed 15,000 miles during this trip. again, the wobble was only stopped by aggressive braking. this occurred twice on this trip. first on the interstate, ...
Extreme vibration shaking thru the steering wheel at 50 miles per hour on smooth road. vehicle experienced these effects on a smooth road with no warning. vehicle has 10700 miles and is excellent condition. was very scary as i had to apply aggressive braking to slow the vehicle , felt like the vehicle would run off the road as the steering wheel was violently shaking , like a wheel was coming off. very serious issue, as there was no warning or indication . after this event researched the issue and found out that this is a known issue and as an owner i should have been notified. i am afraid to drive the vehicle now , it is faulty and un safe , its needs repaired.. i am very surprised that there has been no oversight on this issue with a the minimum a notice of a potential issue . i felt like i had lost temporary control of the vehicle and was going to crash, just not acceptable.
While traveling down the interstate at 70 mph the whole truck started vibrating violently to the point of losing control. only slowing to below 40 mph will stop the vibrating. immediately took the truck to dealership and was told that they are aware of the "death wobble" but parts are on back order. they tell me that ford is aware of the problem but has not issued a recall. this is going to kill someone.
While driving at highway speeds (60mph), i hit a bump in the road and the truck began to shake violently in the front end, to a point that i felt i might lose control. the only way i could get it to stop was to significantly reduce speed. this has happened twice now and is "very" concerning. the second time was at highway speed as well, this time 70mph.
