2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD A THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SLOW DOWN BEFOR IT QUIT.

GOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY I CROSSED A RAILROAD CROSSING THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO BREAK IN HALF. I SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A DEAD STOP BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, (ABOUT 60 MPH), AND I HIT A BUMP, THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY TO ABOUT 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWICE MORE THAT DAY. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND THEY HAD ME BRING IT DOWN. THE SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTED WOBBLING AGAIN. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT HAD LESS THAN 11,000 MILES ON IT. NOW IT HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY OR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AGAIN BUT EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THIS SAYS THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS.

#1: 2019 FORD F250 TRUCK RANDONLY LOSES CONTROL OF STEALING AND GOES OUT OF CONTROL AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45. THIS OCCURS WHEN SLIGHTLY TURNING TRUCK OR IF HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD SURFACE. #2 LACK OF POWER: DEALER TOLD ME AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE LACK OF POWER PROBLEM THAT EGR VALUE NEEDS REPLACED. THIS WAS AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRUCKS COMPUTER. PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE 9/14/19 (OVER 47DAYS WITH NO ETA ON REPAIR PART). TRUCK IS OUT OF SERVICE AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH ON GROOVED PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT VEERED INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEIF JOHNSON FORD (501 E KOENIG LN, AUSTIN, TX 78751, (512) 454-3711) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. *BF *TP

F250 WILL BOUNCE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN A BUMP, OR MINOR CHANGE IN GRADE HAPPENS AT 65+ MPH. FRONT END BOUNCE WILL FORCED IMMEDIATE SLOWDOWN AND LACK OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL SPEEDS REACH AROUND 20 MPH, THEN BOUNCING STOPS.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH UNDER DRY ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND MY STEERING WHEEL / FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES ON THE SAME DAY, ALL AFTER HITTING BUMPS OR ROUGH SPOTS ON HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF & ANYONE RIDING WITH ME ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER COMING AND ROAD CONDITIONS WORSENING. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS I'M NOT REAL CONFIDENT THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY AT ABOUT 70MPH. TRUCK TRANSITIONED FROM ROAD TO NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTED EXPERIENCING TIRE WOBBLE IN BOTH FRONT WHEELS WITH STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND SPINNING LEFT TO RIGHT AND VICE VERSA. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT ABOUT 20000 MILES ON A 2019 FORD F-250 FX4. AND SINCE THAT INITIAL INCIDENT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING DAILY FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. FINALLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR STEERING DAMPER? I HOPE THAT CURES THE PROBLEM. IT WANTED TO REPORT PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND USE A HEAVY DUTY STABILIZER.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENS AFTER HITTING BUMPS. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL IS TO REDUCE SPEED. WE HAVE A FLEET WHICH INCLUDES 46 NEW F250'S AND F350'S. WERE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE WITH 5 TRUCKS SO FAR. ALL ISSUES ARE STARTING BETWEEN 8000 AND 15000 MILES.

OUR COMPANY VEHICLE (WITH 43K MILES ON IT) STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND ENTIRE TRUCK WOBBLES ON THE FREEWAY. IT IS REFERRED TO ONLINE AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. IF FORD DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS THEY SHOULD WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS COMMON FORD ISSUE. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING IN LATE AUGUST AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE.
