On 11/26/22 while driving on the interstate at approx 65-70 mph, my left front tire hit a bump in the road. This caused my truck to violently shake side to side with the front axle. The shaking was so extreme that i thought i was in an accident and could barely hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking only stopped when I reduced speed to about 5 mph. I was almost rearended by a vehicle behind me. Then again on Sunday 1/22/23 it happened again while traveling on the interstate at the same speeds. I notified my dealer (Bozard Ford) and they inspected it and said there was an extended warranty and they replaced a steering part. I now see that this "Death Wobble" is an issue for many. I'm glad I was not killed due to this uncorrected flaw by Ford. No warning lights in these two incidents.

While driving 45 miles an hour down a 3 lane highway I hit a pothole with the left front tire only the truck started to shake uncontrollably I had a hard time keeping it straight and veered into the left lane had to aggressively apply the brakes To get the vehicle to stop causing the vehicle behind me to swerve into the other lane no accidents occurred fortunately This is the 1st time it has happened and the truck did not show any signs of warning or issues. Once I got to a safe place to get out I looked around the truck but could not find any wrong. I will have it inspected by Ford.

When going over 60 and hit a bump or pot hole or ripples I-€™m the rode and ect, the tires and steering wheels start shake oh i controllable have to slow down immediately to under 30 miles per hour. This happens when on the highway or any road and Safety is at risk because you can not control the steering during this time and those you from lane to lane and even worse if having a trailer. Also safety at risk cause have to slow down right then and there and hope no cars are around you : You lose all control of steering when this happens / Looking in line it is know issue with Ford f250 and was a recall but I don-€™t see a recall on my truck. It shows it is called death wobble. I paid more for this truck than any vehicle I have had and scared to drive it and really scared of o have my family and grandkids in the truck with me. Not working lights are anything come in it just happens really fast.

I experienced the ford "death wobble" I had $1200 worth of repairs done on steering and suspension parts. 10,000 miles and 7 months later I am experiencing the same problems again. This is a real safety concern because you loose all control of the vehicle at speeds over 50 miles per hour. How long before this problem kills someone? The first time I experienced this problem the vehicle dragged me accross 3 lanes of traffic at 70 mph.

At speeds above 50 mph when you go over uneven road surfaces there is tremendous shaking with the steering to the point that almost leads to uncontrollable steering. The only way to control is to brake to reduce speed. Internet searches for this condition describe it as F series wobble.

While driving at freeway speeds, my vehicle-€™s front end and steering wheel started to vibrate and shake violently (steering oscillation). I had to slow down immediately and pull to the side of the road to avoid being involved in a collision. This continues to occur on a regular basis and I feel that this vehicle has an engineering flaw and a premature failure in the vehicle-€™s steering and suspension components. I believe this vehicle is unsafe to be driven on the road, because this issue may lead to a traffic collision which could result in serious injury or death.

I was driving approximately 60 mph. There were several small bumps in the road and the Truck went into a Very Violent Shake and Wobble. This is commonly known as the FORD DEATH WOBBLE... Very Scary and Dangerous. The Vehicle was extremely hard to control. Luckily the service advisor at Coggin Ford had warned me about this possible condition. I was told if this wobble ever happened to let immediately back off the accelerator and not Touch the Brakes"? I did exactly as he said and was able to get the truck into the Emergency Lane where I slowed down in a slow and dangerous way. I took the Truck to Coggin Ford. The truck has only 21000 miles. They claim it just needs an alignment and a steering Dampener which was already changed by Ford at 2500 miles? The service department told me that the parts are unavailable but the think it needs an alignment? The alignment was fine until the Death Wobble?" This is a dangerous condition that could have killed myself, my daughter or other drivers... Please let me know what the NHTSA is doing to prevent this from causing accidents and let me know what my options are... Thank you, Philip Monson 904-487-8936

My vehicle has the death wobble and it is getting worse. When the vehicle is operating over 50mlh and hits a bump, it can begin to shake violently and will not stop until I slow down to 25-30th. This is difficult on trips with my camper and on mountains on interstate highways.

While driving our 2019 Ford F250 Superduty at highway speeds it develops a "death wobble" at this point it is very difficult to control the truck and the only way to get it to stop the violent shaking is to come to a stop. This is a known problem for Ford and they claim the parts are on backorder and it'll be months before parts are available. This vehicle has been inspected at a Ford dealership twice but lack of parts makes it so it cannot be fixed.

At highway speeds (about 60 or more) when you hit almost any bump, the truck becomes almost uncontrollable due to the front end shaking.

- Church Hill, TN, USA

Severe shaking in the front end ( death wobble) This has happened to me several times now.

- Chelsea , AL, USA

The F250 will violently shake in an uncontrollable and unpredictable manner on occasion. It typically happens at speeds over 40 mph when encountering any variation from perfectly flat pavement. Ford has an extended warranty to cover the engineering and design failure of some portion of the steering and suspension system; however, the part is backordered and unavailable to make the covered repair. The vehicle is available to be inspected. The engineering and design flaw causes the vehicle to become uncontrollable while trying to come to a stop endangering the occupants as well as anyone or property in the path. The problem was confirmed by a ford dealer and was stated -€œit is a known issue with the vehicle-€ It has not been examined by anyone other than the ford dealership. There were no warning signs from the vehicle; however, an internet search revealed numerous incidents that sound identical. Ford was contacted multiple times, they said they would contact me in reference to a solution 3 times. They never did contact me, when I was able to inquire I was met with an indifferent attitude about my safety and others safety.

My complaint is commonly know as the -€œDEATH WOBBLE-€. This has been going on with Ford trucks since at least 1973. I have personal experience. The problem is while driving on the highway, if you hit just a small pothole, the truck begins to shake violently and will not stop until you slam on the brakes and slow considerably. This is extremely dangerous on the highway with the possibility of loosing control. It-€™s bad, and Ford has known about this for at least 50 years.

while driving on the freeways at freeway speeds after hitting road expansion joints the trucks steering and front end will violently shake to the point of loosing control

- Buckeye, AZ, USA

When driving vehicle around 60 to 65 mph on interstate, when you hit a bump it will begin to shake violently and pull to one side. Took vehicle to dealership. They replaced numerous parts, but steering linkage arm, which Ford says it actual problem, is back ordered and could be a year before it is available. I was driving vehicle on the interstate after picking it up from the dealership and it did exactly the same thing. It does not seem safe to drive vehicle, but I do not have another truck to drive.

When driving the truck between 60 and 70 MPH and hitting a rough spot in the road (pothole, broken concrete section) with the drive side tire the steering wheel and entire front of the truck will shake violently. This will continue until speed is reduced below 40 MPH. In traffic slowing down to have the shaking stop is difficult and cause for a safety concern. If traveling on a two lane highway with other vehicles in the right lane it is very difficult to exit in order to slow down.
