The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle started staking without warning. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the road and after several minutes the vehicle started operating as designed. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred. An appointment with the dealer was scheduled for the vehicle to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 45,000.

When I'm on the highway going between 45-75 MPH, and I encounter a bump or deviation in the pavement, The front end steering will begin to violently cavitate and wobble. The truck speed must be immediately reduced in order to regain control and stop cavitation of front end. I usually have to slow down to 35 MPH to get it to stop. This causes traffic behind me to swerve to avoid me and has almost lead to several accidents. Ford Dealer, Jordan Ford, told me that the replacement Stabilizer absorber has been back ordered for 3 months and they have a lot of people waiting on them. I told Dealer Rep about this issue already and they commented that if it doesn't do it all the time , I shouldn't worry about it. I understand supply issues are considerable, but this is a safety issue that should take precedence before someone is killed.

Above 60 mph if my truck hits even the smallest pavement imperfection or small pot hole my truck will begin to vibrate uncontrollably. The vibration will continue until I slow below 50 and the vibration will go away. Watching videos on the internet, they refer to it as "Death Wobble". VERY dangerous situation and I will not allow anyone to drive my truck but me.

When the vehicle is traveling over a certain speed and hits bumps or uneven road it loses control of the steering wheel.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 70 mph I drove over a overpass that had a had a rise in the transition between the road and the overpass. After driving over the bump my steering wheel began to shake violently. I had to apply the brakes and at approximately 25mph the shake stopped. I continued down the freeway and I in countered a section that had somewhat bumpy expansion joints and once again the steering wheel began to shake violently and I had to slow down to approximately 20 mph to get the shaking to stop. During both these incidents it was very difficult to control the vehicle putting all the vehicles around in danger of me losing control, keep in mind this was a 4 lane freeway with a speed limit of 70 mph and heavy traffic !.

Driving 75 mph on the interstate and truck steering wheel and entire front end started to shake uncontrollably and almost pulled me into the other lane where another vehicle was. Would continue to shake until the vehicle speed would get below 45 mph. Has happened numerous times. Started doing this May 25, 2022. 84k miles on the truck

While driving on freeway at 65 mph the truck began to shake violently. Slowed down to 40 mph and shaking eventually stopped. Extremely hard to steer vehicle during the shaking.

I was driving on the interstate and when I hit the expansion joint on a bridge, my truck and steering wheel began shaking uncontrollably. I was lucky to be in a situation that I could slow down quickly and pull off the road without getting into a serious accident. I talked to some other F250 owners and they said it was a common thing with these trucks and they referred to it as the "Death Wobble". It is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS issue that needs to be handled. I am taking it in to the Ford dealership tomorrow, but I hear that they don't have any fix for it now.

On 2 Jun 22, on I-24W near Nashville, while driving at the posted speed limit (65mph), I hit a pothole. The front end started oscillating which made it very difficult to maintain control. I slowed and pulled off the highway. The bouncing stopped just before pulling off. I inspected the tires for possible damage. There was none. Later the same day on I-65N north of Indianapolis, also driving near the posted speed limit (70mph) I hit an expansion joint, and the oscillation recurred until I slowed down to under 45mph. On 6 Jun22 travelling on I-65S I experienced the same oscillation on three occasions after hitting a bump at a bridge, a rough place in the road and a small pothole. On 7 Jun 22, while traveling on I-75S I experienced two more incidents due to bumps on the road. In all 5 instances the oscillation stopped after slowing to ~45mph. These incidents caused a severe lack of control putting me and other drivers at risk. This problem has been widely reported in online forums and in other complaints to NHTSA. There were not warnings or symptoms prior to the failure. Ford appears to be aware of the problem, issuing TSB 18-2268, but has yet to issue a recall.
