2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 60MPH ON HIGHWAY 95 FROOM MASS TO MAINE AND BACK THE NEXT DAY. I EXPERIENCED A FRIGHTENING SHAKING OF TH ENTIRE FRONT END 6 TIMES. IT WOULD HAPPPEN AFTER I HIT A SMALLL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IN CAR FORUM I REALIZED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND CAN EASILY CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENT MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 13500 MILES ON IT.

TRACTION CONTROL BAR. ALLOWS THE TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. SEVERAL PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SAY IT STARTED ON THERE VEHICLE AT 30K TO 40K. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT THE INTERNET AND CUSTOMERS ARE. I AM AFRAID SOME WILL GET HURT BADLY BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN DO WHEN THIS IS GOING ON IS FIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT AND LET OF THE GAS IS U APPLY THE BRAKE IT WILL SHIMMER EVEN HARDER UNTIL U GET BACK UNDER 60 MPH. FORDS RESPONSE TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAS A 2016 F350 WAS THE VEHICLES WAS NOT MADE TO BE RAN UP AND DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THEY WHERE BUILT TO HAUL AND TOW LOADS. THERE WAS NO WARNING SAYING THESE VEHICLES WHERE NOT FOR EVERY DAY USAGE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT

VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE HAS PROBABLY CAUSED DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 70 MPH WHILE ENCOUNTERING A BUMP OR PATCH IN THE ROAD.

DEATH WOBBLE - SEVERE STEERING CONTROL ON FM 1409. OCCURRED APPROACHING 50MPH ON SMOOTH SURFACE AND DRY CONDITIONS. 4/10/20. TEST DROVE 4/11/20 ON FM 565 SOUTH AND FM 3180 WITH 3 LESSER STEERING CONTROL OCCURRENCES. ROAD CONDITIONS COMPARABLE AND SPEEDS WERE BETWEEN 50-55MPH. ALL OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON ROADS. LESSER OCCURRENCES WITH SAME R

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW IN 2017, NOW AFTER 30K MILES WHEN HITTING A POTHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BE DONE (ONLY A TSB). MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK HAS NOW REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER PER TSB 19-2392. HAVE NOT YET TESTED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO VERIFY THIS FIXED THE ISSUE (HOMEM QUARANTINE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS SHELTER IN PLACE.

I BELIEVE IT IS REFERED TO AS "THE DEATH WOBBLE" TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT ABOVE 60 MPH

2017 F250 6.2 GAS, TRUCK SHAKES BADLY AT 65-70MPH OF IF YOU HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT SPEED. LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID EVERYTHING IS OK EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE TRACK BAR END LINKS WERE LOOSE. THE TRUCK HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT NOW BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 30,000. THE TECH. LED ON THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BUT, THEY DID NOTHING BUT DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR 8 MILES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND IM AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE AND ACCIDENT.

AT 68 MPH TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION I HIT SOME UNEVEN PAVEMENT IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I HAD TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

WHEN GOING OVER A ROUGH BRIDGE ON INTERSTATE AT @ 70 MPH STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH ON BUSY INTERSTATE TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES THE SAME DAY.

SEVERE SHAKING OF FRONT END AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP WHILE DRIVING IN A 5 LANE CITY STREET AT APROX 60 MPH THAT PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. FORD CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ESTABLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 19-2274 SEE ATTACHED). THE INCIDENT REQUIRED ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE STEERING FROM SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY PULLING OVER. THE STEERING DAMPER ON THE VEHICLE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE.
