2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

MY TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER UNDER WARRANTY, I RECEIVED THE TRUCK BACK AND TOOK IT ON THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT END OSCILLATION IS STILL EVIDENT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TSB FOR THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN UPDATED AND THAT ONLY THE STEERING DAMPER WOULD BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FIX TO AN ONGOING ISSUE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE OR ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, ON AN INTERSTATE AND CROSSING AT BRIDGES WITH A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, VEHICLE BEGAN A VIOLENT SHAKING AND UNCONTROLLABLE MOVEMENT WITH LOSE OF STEERING CONTROL ON THE ROAD. THIS IS FREQUENTLY CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. IT WAS AS IF THE FRONT END FELL OFF THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO STEER. I AM A RETIRED ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR AND CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL DO TO THE NUMBER OF THESE OCCURRENCES AS REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES. IF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IT COULD HAVE VERY WELL CAUSED A FATALITY.

THERMAL INSULATION PANEL UNDER THE TRUCK BED BODY ABOVE THE EXHAUST PIPE BECAME LOOSE AND FELL ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE AND CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED TO THE PIPE. NOTICED THE HANGING INSULATION PANEL WHEN TRUCK WAS PARKED.

DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH AND FELT I HIT A SMALL BUMP, THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY STEERING WHEEL SHAKING IN MY HANDS, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN 45 MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 5600 MILES ON IT.

DEATH WOBBLE AT 70 MPH. VEHICLE HAS 11,00 MILES ON IT. EXTREME SHAKING AFTER HITTING ROUGH PATCH ON FREEWAY. REGAINED CONTROL AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO 45 MPH. HAPPENED 2 TIMES ON ONE TRIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE TRAVELING 80 MPH ON AN OVERPASS OF A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING AND EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE WHILE THE CONTACT STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TRIED SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. CORWIN FORD NAMPA (5707 E GATE BLVD, NAMPA, ID 83687, (208) 475-1110) STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER USING THE FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,500. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED A 2ND TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVE ON FREEWAY OR SURFACE STREET IF I DRIVE OVER A POT HOLE OR BRIDGE SEAM, TRUCKS SUSPENSION GOES IN TO A DEATH WOBBLE, HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF TRUCK. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL MYSELF OR SOME ONE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY NOW.

4-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) - SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION - ABOVE 45 MPH (72 KM/H). VEHICLE IN MOTION, ON THE HIGHWAY, TOWING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. HITTING A BUMP OR SEAM IN THE ROAD CAUSES UNCONTROLLABLE SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT SUSPENSION. REQUIRES IMMEDIATE REDUCTION IN SPEED TO CORRECT THE SITUATION.

ON9/8 /20 I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 78 MPH I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND ALMOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK DUE TO A HEAVY VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK(WOBBLY). THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THE SHAKE WAS NORMAL. NOW IT IS SO BAD CAN'T CONTROL IT WHEN IT STARTS. I FEEL THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND NEED HELP TO CORRECT IT BY FORD.

THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIMMY'S AND SHAKES AND MAKES MY HANDS LEAVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND GOING OVER ROAD BUMPS, BRIDGE TRANSITIONS, ROAD DEFORMITIES. THE DEFECT LEADS TO DIFFICULT STEERING AND INTENSE SHAKING EVEN WHEN DRIVERS ARE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. THIS IS TRIGGERED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ONE OF THE TIRES HITS A GROOVE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, THIS CAUSES A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED BY A SUDDEN REDUCTION OF SPEED, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERAL CAR PILE-UP ON THE FREEWAY BY ME REDUCING SPEEDS FROM 70 MPH TO UNDER 30 MPH IN THE FAST LANE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE AREA. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT NOW IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN 50 MILES. MY WIFE REFUSES T DRIVE THE VEHICLE.
