At interstate speeds, my vehicle can go into a mode where in the steering wheel jerks violently, along with the front end shaking violently. This has happened twice in 2022, and rough pavement appears to initiate the event and pulling over to the shoulder, coming to a complete stop is the only way to stop the shaking.

Death Wobble: 2019 F250 with 42,450 miles. After hitting a small bump while driving on the highway at normal speed, the front end starts violently shaking and the steering wheel oscillates from side to side. Steering control is completely lost and I have to hang on for dear life until I can ease to a shoulder to slow down and get out of the wobble. This is completely unacceptable and puts everyone's lives at risk who are in the immediate vicinity. I immediately called my local Ford dealer and was told this "happens from time to time." Despite admitting this is a known problem since the mid-2000s and a danger to public safety, Ford refused to fix it, stating my truck is just past the limited factory warranty. I was out of town when this first occurred with no prior warning and it happened 14 additional times within a couple days. Why is Ford not recalling these vehicles for this issue? It is extremely dangerous to those inside and in close proximity to the vehicle. Please make Ford address this before someone gets seriously hurt due to their incompetence and desire not to have to spend the money on a full fledged recall.

Death wobble at 70 mph jerking both hands 6 to 8 inches back and forth uncontrollable on I-70 in Kansas went from right lane to left lane then left hand shoulder before getting it under control lucky no other cars around everything was blurry from shaking only have 37,000 miles on it thought me and wife were going to die drove only 60mph after that crazy

There is a known issue with the steering damper which causes the "Death Wobble". On one trip this happened to me three times almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle on the interstate going 70 MPH. I was unable to maintain my lane and swerved into the passing lane. I had to quickly stop the vehicle and pull over causing vehicles behind me to come to an abrupt stop. I had two of my children with me and the vehicle shook so hard that it threw items out of their hands. The dealership inspected the vehicle and stated that the steering damper had no resistance in it and was beyond bad. The replacement part was on indefinite backorder and Ford denied them using an aftermarket part as a replacement. My only option was to wait until the part eventually came in or pay $250 out of pocket to replace it with an aftermarket part. I will not drive the vehicle until the part is replaced. Ford has failed to recognize and fix a major safety issue.

- "death wobble" in my F250 3 times on our way back from the Outer Banks, NC to Nashville. Ford is stating it is the Steering Dampener. Yes, it is available for inspection. - Safety was poor, it felt like I had little control until we came to a complete stop. I would say it put other at risk as we had to move to the side, across multiple lanes, to the side of the road. - It happened 3 times in one trip. - It has not been inspected (only by me). The Ford dealership stating they know the problem (without looking at it) and start a service order. We are awaiting the part. - No, it just suddenly happened. We were not towing anything either

6 July 2022/47,978 miles- local service shop advised me about 2019 Ford F250 steering stabilizer issue when I inquired about 2 new front tires for my vehicle due to uneven wear and noticeable wobble at 65-70 mph. Advised me I should inquire with Ford, solve issue, then get tires and align accordingly. No reason to get new tires just to ruin them. 12 July 2022- Autonation Ford Brooksville, FL diagnosed it was steering stabilizer and ordered. Would call me when part came in to replace it. Early August 2022- Called Autonation to inquire about part. Told part was on "severe backorder". I advised problem was getting worse and tires were considerably worse. Was told they would call or email when part became available. 12 October 2022/52,690 miles- Called Autonation to inquire about part. Told it was projected to be in mid November. Told them problem was way worse. Wobble occurs anywhere from 45-70 mph depending on road surface. Noticeable clunk under various conditions while driving or turning. Advised I was going to park the truck due to safety concerns. Several times, wobble turned into pulling me hard left or right out of driving lane. One incident took me so far into oncoming traffic that the opposing traffic had to turn to avoid hitting me. This is my primary vehicle. I drive approximately 60 miles per day, to and from work.

My 2019 F250 has only 17328 miles today. This month I experienced two dangerous situations. When driving at high speed on the freeway, approx. 60 miles per hour, the steering wheel and the whole front end start an uncontrollable shake and wobble. It feels like the truck is going to be broken into pieces. I was driving at freeway speed in the carpool lane, this sudden wobbling scared me and all my family inside the truck. We thought the truck was going to explode or something. I immediately turned on my emergency light and reduced my speed. The car behind me almost hit my truck. I had to get out of the car pool lane and shift four lines before stopping on the shoulder. I looked into the problem online and found out that many Ford Heavy Duty truck owners like me had similar experiences. I went to a nearby Ford dealer, and the advisor informed me that this problem is known as "Death Wobble" and that Ford is aware of it. However, parts are unavailable, with no ETA! This dangerous issue could cause a vehicle operator to panic and try to reduce speed on the freeway suddenly in order to regain control, but it could also cause the vehicle to collide with a following vehicle or lose control, hitting vehicles nearby. My life and my family's lives could be in danger because of this. I am worried about driving this truck again since this is my work truck. Please help!

On 10/9/2022, while driving on the interstate at 70-75 mph next to an 18 wheeler, I experienced the dreaded "death wobbles" in my new truck. The truck was barely able to be controlled, and I had to pull over to the shoulder of the interstate and come to a complete stop. When I tried driving to the next exit to get to a safer location, the death wobbles hit a second time when driving at a reduced speed because there was a very minimal dip in the road. The vehicle gave no warning prior to or during the incident. The steering/suspension systems were completely out of control, and only began working after I had to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. I notified the dealer, Carvana, and am returning the vehicle to them. They had initially done an inspection and stated the vehicle was fine. Obviously, it wasn't. This was extremely terrifying and even worse, Ford is aware of this long standing issue and has not issued a recall. When I called the Malloy Ford dealer in Martinsburg, WV, they said they wouldn't cover the repairs, that it would be up to me to pay for whatever components malfunctioned and were possibly further damaged by the death wobbles.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH on a distressed roadway, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the road and then was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact continued to experience the failure. The contact stated that two weeks later he received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V087000 (Structure, Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. VIN tool confirms parts not available. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.
