2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

On 8/27/22 Driving on the highway at a speed of approximately 70 mph coming of a bridge and going over transition caused the front of the truck to shake violently. With the wheels shaking and wobbling violently it was difficult to steer. This continued until I came to a complete stop on the side of the highway. This happened AGAIN on 9/4/22 with same situation on return trip home. Truck shook violently with tires wobbling until I pulled over to a complete stop. Very scary and dangerous! There was no warning prior or after incident. Truck had just been in for routine service with tire rotation on 8/16/22. Truck to be inspected by dealership on 9/14/22

The tail gate of my F250 drops inadvertently. It dropped while I was hauling a trailer and was severely damaged. Ford is repairing this damage and has replace the latch and wiring harness to prevent it from happening again however 1 day after the recall repairs were completed, the tail came down on its own yet again. The fix did not work. I notified the dealership and they said they would notify Ford.

While driving my children to school on a two lane road (55) the front end started shaking wildly. I lost control of the vehicle and ran oncoming traffic off the road when I crossed the double yellow line. My vehicle is stock with just barely 17k miles. Very scary.

While driving down road steering began to shake violently to the point unit drifted into other lane. Had to pull over to the side of the road to get it to stop. Took unit to dealer and was told parts on back order for a long time Ford is aware. Unit parked due to safety concerns.

Front end of vehicle and steering wheel both shake violently after hitting a bump when driving between 50-70 mph.

Front end of vehicle shakes uncontrollably when hitting an uneven road at speed over 50-70 mph. Breaks have to be applied, speed reduction and hazards almost causing collisions. This has occurred 6 times since May 2022. There is current slight shaking on the steering wheel. Dissatisfied with the no disclosure of this issue when purchasing this vehicle and model.

At approximately 30000 mi the truck began shaking violently whenever it hit a decent bump. mainly when traveling over 60mph. This is extreme shaking what most call a death wobble. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the steering stabilizer which seemed to help for awhile. The truck now has 73000 miles on it and shakes so bad i don't feel safe driving it. I have replaced the steering stabilizer again and the problem still persists. At this point I feel there are probably multiple issues with the steering and suspension due to the shaking.

Driving at 65 mph and hit a bump in the road causing excessive shaking and vibration in the steering wheel (Death Wobble).

I was driving on the Interstate on 8-23-2022 at approximately 1:00pm. As I crossed a bridge deck, the vehicle started shaking violently. It was hard to hold onto the steering wheel. The problem stopped when I pulled onto the shoulder and slowed way down. I called Beartooth Ford in Columbus, MT and reported the issue. They were very aware of what the issue was. They advised me that there was a recall that would fix it. I stopped at their business and they recorded the VIN and mileage of my vehicle. I do have a live video of the incident happening a second time but this system won’t allow me to attach it.

I purchased this vehicle new in 2020. I've driven the vehicle 33,000 miles and the well-documented "death wobble" has happened a couple of dozen times (reference Ford's CSP 20N04) - relatively minor incidents until lately. On August 13, 2022 I drove over a railroad crossing at 55 MPH (per the speed limit and traffic flow) and the truck went into a violent steering oscillation that required an emergency stop - luckily the semi behind me had sufficient distance and wherewithal to avoid hitting me. My passenger was so shaken that we had to stop for 10 minutes - he didn't want to continue in the truck. The truck is current at the local Ford Dealer and they are telling me that 'since they can't reproduce the issue they will not take the recommended actions outlined in 20N04. The severity of the "death wobble" renders the vehicle useless to me because I don't want my family to die. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Vehicle is available for inspection. Steering linkage is failing and/or there is a fundamental engineering flaw. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Vehicle became undrivable when the "death wobble" occurred. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue because it happens relatively infrequently. But, when it happens, it renders the vehicle undriveable. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The dealer has inspected the vehicle. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.
