2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

When driving on Highway any time you are going over 50 mph and hit a bump, pot hole, or seam on a bridge, the truck’s front end starts shaking violently and you have to slow the truck down under 40 mph to get the truck to drive normal. This has happened numerous times over the past 3 years.

Experienced the "Death Shaking" 7 times while on our way to Talladega while towing a 6 ton camper. It would shake violently until I brought the rig to a stop. We were able to nurse it to Tony Serra Ford in Sylacauga AL., where they replaced the steering linkage damper. This is a serious issue because of the potential for control loss.

At highway speeds, if you hit a bump in the road, the front end shakes violently and will not stop until you slow way down or pull off the road. I have called and scheduled an inspection with the dealer and when I described the problem they said "oh, you have the death wobble" I purchased the vehicle in Dec 2020 and first noticed this issue the following month or so....with seemingly increasing frequency.

Hitting certain bumps or transitions at higher speeds, the truck goes into the death wobble and is close to uncontrollable with bouncing and shuddering until you pull over and come to a stop.

Hitting a bump while driving at freeway speed will result in an uncontrollable shake of the truck that sometime force the truck to move from lane to lane. The shake will continue until the truck slow down to about 20 MPH. The dealer has the truck for 2 weeks but they could not find any issue and return the truck back without any repair and stated that the truck is safe to drive. They refuse to do the test drive.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250 SD. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH and driving over a bump in the roadway, the steering wheel vibrated abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that after slowing down to 45 MPH the vibration stopped. The local dealer was notified of the failure however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.

The contact owned a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 5MPH, the vehicle exploded and the fire was noticed by the neighbor. The fire was coming out the front wheel well and the engine. The contact stated no warning lights illuminated. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was not towed to the dealer. The vehicle remained at the contacts home unrepaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 13100.

I was driving down the highway and for some unknown reason the front end of my truck started shaking violently. I had to pull over to the side of the highway to get it to stop. This has happened previously but not nearly as bad as I only slowed down to get the shaking to stop.

I was driving in the freeway approximately 70 mph when the truck drove over a small imperfection in the road and immediately started to shake violently and uncontrollably (often referred to as death wobble) I left off of the gas and as the vehicle slowed to 50 mph the shaking went away. This shaking is very violent and takes away from the drivers ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner amongst traffic on a busy freeway. Of the brake is pressed the shaking becomes worse until the vehicle slows. I took the truck to the dealer which the dealer advised that there was a recall on the steering dampener and replaced it stating that will relieve the truck of a death wobble . However, this did not fix the issue as I took it on the freeway and experienced the same exact issue. The truck has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. No lights or warnings were given at any time before during or after r the incident.

My truck now has what’s called the Ford Death Wobble. This is 100% factory problem and has happened to many trucks. I demand a recall
