Twice I have experienced the "F250 Death Wobble," both incidents were on the highway traveling at about 65-70 mph on level freeway when the vehicle began to oscillate and vibrate in an EXTREMELY VIOLENT MANNER. I was scared to death and I could barely control the vehicle, but in both incidents I was able to apply brakes and slowly get the vehicle to a full and complete stop to arrest the violent shaking. When both vibration incidents happened I was cruising along, not accelerating or decelerating, just constant speed. By the way both incidents occurred on I-15 near Lehi, Utah.

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON INTERSTATE 74 AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN I DROVE OVER A SMALL IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD SURFACE (AN OVERPASS TRANSITION) THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE OFF OF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED ON THE RETURN TRIP AS WELL HOWEVER, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THIS TIME AS SOON AS IT STARTED FOR FEAR OF THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY THAT WAS RIDING WITH ME. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE AFTER THE TWO INCIDENTS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME ON THE INTERSTATE.

My truck has a death wobble!!! It shakes uncontrollably at speeds greater than 55 miles per hour when I hit any bumps. I lose total control of steering and have almost wrecked several times.

Took the truck on I-40 and to 75mph hit a crack repair and steering went crazy. Had to full stop to get it to stop. Back on the road and it happened again at 75mph. Got it into dealer and found out that it is a death wobble. Dealer replaced the steering dampener and returned. Dampener was purchased locally. Six weeks later and it happened on US550, after driving over a rough spot. This time it was 70mph. Happened again on US550 a few days later but at 65mph. Truck is in the dealer's shop again, and has been for eight days. They test drove it and got it to duplicate the problem. They have put a new steering dampener on as the last one is bad already. They are lowering the camber (wharever that is) and will test drive it tomorrow again.

Traveling at 70 miles per hour, hit bump on highway and front end of vehicle began shaking violently, almost lost control. Took foot off gas and applied brakes, vehicle finally stopped shaking. "Death Wobble ". Vehicle has 22,500 miles, tires original, no modifications to vehicle

2019 F250, 13,000 miles: While traveling along interstate 64 in Virginia, I crossed a bridge in the early morning, pre-dawn hours which caused the truck to "bounce" as it transitioned across the joints that joined the bridge to the pavement. Immediately after crossing, the truck entered into an uncontrollable vibration that caused me to lose positive control to the vehicle. The loss of control lasted until I was able to ride-out the incident alongside the roadway. Believing I had blown a tire, I checked the truck to find that all tires were serviceable. I reentered the roadway, having checked all items I could, only to have the issue reoccur as I crossed another bridge at a reduced speed. I exited the interstate highway and utilized back roads, at reduced speeds (below 50), to reach a safe location to diagnose the issue. Utilizing online research, I located videos of the exact same problem I had experienced. I am beyond shocked this vehicle has not been recalled. As an experienced driver, with over twenty years of law enforcement driving experience, I can assure you it took everything I had to keep the vehicle from crashing. Had I been towing a trailer/camper or had the interstate traffic been heavier, I cannot imagine how a serious accident would not have occurred. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained, possesses a current state inspection sticker, and gave no warning prior to this incident of having any issues related to the loss of control.

When driving above 50 MPH and hitting a small bump in the road, the vehicle has gone into a sever wobble in the suspension almost to the point of losing control of the steering of the truck. I had to reduce the speed to below 30 MPH to get the truck to return to normal. This has happened to our truck twice.

Odometer: 45847. Two weeks ago I hit a bump on GA 400 going about 70MPH and the death wobble happened. Had to brake heavily to get it to stop. No warning lights. Knew there was an ESB on the Steering Dampner and took it to the dealer to have that replaced along with the other recalls. The service advisor calls today and wants to charge me $1800 to replace the tie rods. Ford should be taking care of the affected components in relation to the steering dampener not holding up.
