2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

My 2019 Ford F250 has experienced the "death wobble" 3 times. All three times I have almost crashed and put my life and the life of others at risk. Each time the truck starts to violently shake and I have to hold on to the steering wheel with all my power so I don't crash. I have taken my truck back to the ford dealership multiple times but they said they do not know how to fix it. I also took it to a specialist to fix and pay over $4,000 but that still didn't work. Now I can not drive the truck for my safety. There were no prior incidents or symptoms before this started.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The vehicle was turned off and restarted. The contact stated that on another occasion the vehicle hesitated while accelerating and then operated normally. The contact stated that a scanner retrieved fault code: P0762 (Shift Solenoid Failure). The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic found no fault with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 7,135.

When driving on uneven roads (bumps/potholes) the front end shakes almost like it’s hydroplaning or skipping across the road.

Steering linkage damper is faulty. Multiple incidents of steering violently shaking after hitting a pothole. The vehicle is uncontrollable while the steering is shaking. The last incident when the death wobble occurred I could not maintain my lane of traffic, when I finally got the truck under control I was in the lane of oncoming traffic. There is no warning when this problems occurs

We were traveling on the interstate at 70 MPH , hit a bump in the road and all of a sudden the truck began to shake causing the truck and attached camper to sway uncontrollable. We swerved and were able to get the truck slowed down and to the left shoulder of the road. It was very scary for my family. Luckily we were able to control the truck and not cause an accident. This has happened one other time while camper was attached. The truck is going to the dealership Friday August 19th for the current recall Manufacturer Recall Number22S09 NHTSA Recall Number22v087 . The dealership is also going to replace a steering dampener

I was driving down the highway today around 70 MPH when I went over a very small pothole. The steering wheel started to shake violently and then the whole truck started to shake. I slowed down and started to pull over because I thought I had blown a tire. When I got down to about 20 MPH on the shoulder the shaking stopped. I got out to inspect the tires and they were all fine. I immediately called my mechanic and he told me this used to be a common problem with Ford trucks a while ago and he heard that it had started to happen again.

While towing my 15,500 GVWR fifth wheel at approximately 60 mph on the 210 fwy in a construction zone I encountered some very rough asphalt repairs just on the drivers side of the lane. I had a, close to the lane, K-rail on the passenger side and one lane next to me on the drivers side with a K-rail on the drivers side of that lane. When I hit the rough pavement my wheels started to oscillate violently back and forth and pulled me about 3 feet into the next lane on the drivers side. Luckily there was not anyone in the lane at the time. I forced the wheel to the right and straightened out when I got back in the right lane but the "Death Wobble" continued so I slowed down to about 35 mph and the wobbling finally stopped. The rest of the 3 day trip I stayed at or below 55 mph to be safe. I could have been much worse had there been someone in the next lane or if it had pulled me to the right into the K-rail. Someone could have been injured or killed. I took the truck to Upland ford in California and they said that the steering stabilizer, both drag links and the track bar needed to be replaced but that the stabilizer was on back order. I also took it to Sunrise Ford in Fontana California, where I bought the truck, and they confirmed that I needed the exact same things plus they included that the tie rods needed to be replaced. I have about 22,200 miles on the truck and it is out of the factory warranty. I have an extended warranty with Portfolio Protection and Sunrise Ford had 2 different inspectors from Portfolio come out and inspect the front suspension to authorize repairs. They would only authorize replacing one of the drag links. Before this incident I did feel that the steering had, slowly over time, started to feel a little loose when I hit smaller bumps. There were no warning lamps that came on. I am afraid to drive the truck especially pulling my fifth wheel trailer.

My truck has the death wobble. This is the 3rd time I have tried to fix it. Now, my local Ford dealership says they cannot duplicate the problem. This is very dangerous. At any given time, I am going to have a wreck. It is not an “if”, but a “when”. I have no choice but to drive my truck like it is. I had to get Ford manufacturer’s to help me last year.

The truck began shaking uncontrollably at approximately 70mph.. fortunately I was in the right lane , and traffic wasn’t very busy, and I was able to get the truck off the side of the road without creating an accident.. I have owned the truck since it was new, and have not experienced any issue until now! The truck has just over 40,000 miles on it. Took truck to dealership to be inspected and they said everything looks good.. but they also said that the part that I needed was on back order. At the current time I’m waiting on repairs to be made, but I am very uneasy about the safety of the vehicle now..
