2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

DEATH WOBBLE Dealer/Ford will not repair as a warranty problem. At 31,700 miles a vehicle should not lose control hitting a small bump.

Suddenly while driving, the car begins to shake uncontrollably/violently, causing the vehicle to swerve and rapidly rotating the steering wheel to move from side to side, making it difficult to control and causes great fear of trying not to crash. Feels like my vehicle is about to fall part so I feel like I have to hold onto my car for dear life.

DEATH WOBBLE.....AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD STEERING WHEELS SHAKES UNTIL VEHICLE COMES TO STOP. ONLY HAVE 30,000 MILES AND NO OFF-ROAD DRIVING. DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT SPEED. HAVE ISSUES AT 45 MPH AND NOW DRIVING 65 ON HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS HAVING TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AS UNABLE TO EVEN STEER!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V644000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the contact stated that she noticed that the front camera lenses were cloudy. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that whenever the sun was shining on the camera, visibility became difficult. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that parts to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available. The contact stated that all 5 cameras on the vehicle have a cloudy and foggy look to them

While driving on highway at 65 mph, violent shaking in front end began and vehicle steering was inoperable. I had to slow down the vehicle to 10 mph before the violent shaking finally stopped and the ability to steer was regained. If I had been on a curve or had a vehicle behind me, I could have been killed. I was out of town when this occurred and it happened 5 additional times on that trip. This a known issue to Ford because they sent me a letter stating this is a problem. The truck (which was purchased brand new and only has 17,000 miles on it and all original parts) has now been with the dealer for 3 days. They are going to replace the steering damper but have told me that they don't know if it will fix the issue. After doing additional research on my own, I have learned that this issue is actually known as the "death wobble". Why is Ford not recalling these vehicles for this issue? It is extremely dangerous and certainly not what one would expect after paying $80K for a truck.

I understand that my truck has the Death Wobble. No warning lights, truck shakes vigorously driving on rough roads at 70mph

Front camera, like the rear camera which was recently recalled, has lost clear visibility. It has a very bright white haze which eliminates visibility from the front camera. It poses a safety hazard in parking lots, especially if a small child were to walk in front of the truck. The truck is available for inspection anytime. There has been no specific incident causing injury at this time. However, it would be nice to use the front camera as intended to prevent any incident in the future.

If I hit a bump going over 50mph my vehicle will violently shake until I slow down or stop.

We experienced the "Death Wobble" with this vehicle. The part Ford has identified as the problem(Steering Dampner) has been covered by the 20N04 warranty extension but the parts surrounding the Dampner have also been affected and needed to be replaced at our cost. This include the Long Drag link, Short Drag link, and the Adjuster. Parts and Labor totaled $673.31. This issue is well documented throughout Ford owners.

My F250 started to shake uncontrollably while driving home from the airport on 26 September 2022. The vehicle has just over 20,000 miles on the odometer. The steering wheel shook out of my hands and I had to re-grab the steering wheel while driving at 50 mph. The shaking would not stop. I had to brake carefully because of traffic and pull off the to the shoulder. I merged back into traffic and it started to wobble uncontrollably again at 35 mph. I pulled over again and stopped. I merged back into traffic again and it did not happen again. Since it has just happened, I have not taken it to a Ford Dealership to get worked on. If traffic had not been lite, I am sure this issue would have caused an accident while I was driving 50 mph. I was very scared and was not anticipating this issue. There were no warnings. There should be an immediate recall of all these vehicles and the manufacture should fix or buy the trucks back. I will be notifying my Congressman and Senators.
