2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

EXPERIENCED THE FIRST 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN MY F-250 WITH 18,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND RAN OVER A BRIDGE TRANSITION WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT TURN TO THE LEFT. VIBRATION CONTINUED UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 55MPH. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN 500 MILES, THIS TIME DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH CRUISE SET AT 75MPH AND HIT A FEW SMALL BUMPS IN ROAD. EXTREME VIBRATION FELT IN STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE FRONT TIRES FAILED THEIR 'HIGH ROAD FORCE TEST.' THEY REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES. I'M AFRAID THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH POSSIBLE DEADLY REPERCUSSIONS. HOW CAN TWO FRONT TIRES THAT WON'T BALANCE CAUSE A SEVERE LATERAL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING SYSTEM?

SHORTLY AFTER STARTING AND WHILE IN MOTION, RECEIVING A BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT AND A CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT. IT INDICATES THE DRIVER REAR TO BE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS INTERMITTENT IN NATURE.

WHEN BRAKING AT 60+MPH RESULTS IN EXTREME FRONT END WOBBLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY TIME WE DRIVE AT 60+MPH AND BRAKE. SO MULTIPLE TIMES. *BF MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.*JB

AFTER 20,000 MILES MY TRUCK STARTED INTERMITTENTLY WOBBLING. IT IS TERMED "DEATH WOBBLE." USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS (70 OR BETTER) AND AFTER HITTING A "ROUGH PATCH" IN THE ROAD OR BRIDGE JOINTS.THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE WHOLE TRUCK WOBBLES VIOLENTLY. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND HANGING ON FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO IT STOPS AND IS THEN FINE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN A HILL, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WENT INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE AND VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, WALKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO CHECK THE TIRES, AND FOUND NO SIGNS OF A FLAT TIRE. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED PEORIA FORD (9130 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382, (623) 239-3722) WHERE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO GET A TRADE IN, BUT DID NOT GET EQUAL QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,300.

EXPERIENCING FORD F250 "DEATH WOBBLE." NOT HITTING ANY BUMPS OR RUTS BEFORE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING. ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TAKE FOOT OF ACCELERATOR AND HIT BRAKE TRUCK IS TWO MONTHS OLD WITH 6,600 MILES ON ODO. STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEM ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO. FIRST TWO TIMES HAPPENED ABOUT 45 MPH, LAST TIME AT 55MPH. SERVICE MANAGER AT TALLAHASSEE FORD SAYS DEATH WOBBLE WAS ON OLDER TRUCKS. THINKS IS ENGINE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT KNOW CAUSE BUT FIRST APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE IS 2 WEEKS OUT AND I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE TRUCK. SAYS CANNOT FIX IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. VERY INTERMITTENT AND I CANNOT REPLICATE SO UNLIKELY THEY WILL. THIS IS NOT AN ENGINE PROBLEM, IS SCARY WHEN HAPPENS, AND FEELS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ME.

HAVE NOTICED MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVING DIFFERENT, THE STEERING HAS BEEN FEELING OFF. WELL TODAY I WAS GOING DOWN INTERSTATE I-4 AND WENT OVER A BUMP AND MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO A WALL. IT DID NOT DO IT ONCE IT DID IT 3 TIMES. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING. SO UNSAFE

DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WHEN ENTERING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 75-80MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON INTERSTATE WAS 80MPH), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLANTLY IN THE FRONT STEERING WHEEL, ALMOST LIKE A TIRE CAME OFF. I HAD A VEHICLE IN THE PASSING LANE BESIDE ME WITH A HORSE TRAILER ON AND IT WAS BAD ENOUGH HE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED AWAY FROM US AS I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO SLOW IT DOWN AND GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, UNTIL IT HIT ABOUT 20 OR 25MPH AND STOPPED SHAKING. I OWN JK JEEPS, SO I KNOW WHAT THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE FEELS LIKE AS I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR IT ON MY LIFTED JEEPS, BUT THIS IS A 2019 F250 WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON IT AND WELL, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I LIVE IN WYOMING & TRAVEL WITH THIS TRUCK AS A WORK VEHICLE AND TRAVEL IN THE PACIFIC NW, AND WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN WINTER DRIVING CONDITION AND SNOW AND ICE ON THE ROAD. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER! WHEN I CONTACTED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN, BUT DOUBTED THEY HAD ANY OPTIONS AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. KIND OF CONCERNING!

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 74 MPH. DROVE ACCROSS EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLABLY. TOOK ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO HOLD THE TRUCK STEADY. TRUCK WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE DIRECTION. TOOK MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND GENTLY APPLIED BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN. TRUCK STOPPED SHAKING WHEN I WAS ALMOST TO A FULL STOP. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK WHAT HAPPEND AND EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE FINE. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND I AM DEFINITELY SHAKEN UP. I BELIEVE IF MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING THEY WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITH SUCH VIOLENT SHAKING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE". I SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 15 MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, IT DID IT AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH MY FAMILY, AND I HAD TO PUT ON WARNING LIGHTS, AND SLOW DOWN TO AN UNSAFE SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. LATER THAT WEEK, A COLLEAGUE BORROWED MY TRUCK AND WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY THAT NEEDED REPAIRS, AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AROUND 15 TIMES. AT THIS TIME, I WON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYWHERE OVER 40 MPH DUE TO FEAR OF HARMING MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY. WHEN THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS, YOU LOSE COMPLETE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TIGHT AND HOPE YOU CAN SLOW DOWN SAFELY. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE OVER 40 MPH.
