2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

TRUCK STEERING STARTED WOBBLING OUT OF CONTROL AT 60 TO 65 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER A SMALL POT HOLE ON FREEWAY. COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF TRUCK. IT FORCE ME INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD (VERY DANGEROUS.) I AM AFRAID TO LET WIFE DRIVE THIS VERY EXSPENSIVE VEHICLE. (OVER $80K). FORD MUST DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT IT. THEY JUST WILL NOT DO ANYTHING OR DO A PROPER REPAIR

Upon exiting from the highway at an approximate speed of 55mph in my 2019 Ford F250, I experienced a SEVERE case of what is commonly known as the "death wobble." I was essentially unable to control the vehicle in both braking and steering capacities, so much so that we ended partially in the grass median before regaining safe control. This again happened on the return trip home. So far I have been unable to obtain what I feel like is a satisfactory answer from the Ford dealership from whom I purchased the vehicle. In a 2 year old truck with under 50,000 miles I feel that this (especially being a known issue) should be a recalled item. I have never had a vehicle that I feel this unsafe driving in. The amount of jarring we experienced and the fact that I had little to no control at highway speeds is EXTREMELY unnerving.

When hitting a bump or hole in the road, sometimes the tires and steering wheel start to shake violently. I have to slow down considerably before the shaking stops. After that, the truck runs normal until I hit another hole or bump. What happens is identical to the "death wobble" experienced with Ford F250.

I was driving my F250 Super Duty at a highway speed of 76 mph with the cruise set. Truck has just over 21K miles and is a 2019 model. I drifted slightly onto the rumble strip of the highway and the truck went into the Ford Death Wobble. It is the first and only time it’s happened since buying the truck new. This happened on Monday 1/24/2022. It was shocking how violently the steering started shaking! I had to slow down to 35 mph before it stopped. I plan to contact my local dealer (where I purchased new) to set up service to report and address. However after reading about this ongoing issue I felt compelled to report the issue on your site. Most everything I’m reading reports Ford has yet to put out a recall to properly address. However I did find a TSB that I will reference with the dealer when I take it in. My truck is still under remainder of factory warranty and has not had any modifications or aftermarket parts installed since purchasing it new. Tires/wheels and all suspension components are what came with on it at time of purchase. Very frightening experience!

When driving and you go over a slight bump in the road it makes your truck shake tremendously. I do not know if it is the suspension trying to over-correct it self but it is bad. When looking this issue up I have seen it called the Ford F250 "death wobble". I have yet to have this happen at speeds less than 50mph so this could possibly lead to a serious accident. I have made a video which I can submit for evidence (it is a MP4 file format). There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to when it will happen or how long it last.

While driving down the interstate, at approximately 70 mph, the front suspension started to wobble to the point that it was almost uncontrollable. Once the vehicle was slowed to approximately 50 mph, the wobble stopped. This vehicle has 28,000 miles & this is a condition that has just started in the last 30 days.

2019 F-250 adaptive steering malfunction. The truck has 49000 miles. I was reversing from a parking lot and as I shifted gears to drive and turn to get straight to move forward, my steering adaptive light came on the dash and my steering shifted 90 degrees to the left. Driving to the dealership with a toddler was frightening. This is a serious safety hazardous. Ford should issue a recall, but does not.

At 60 mph, vehicle front end occasionally starts shaking violently (death wobble) after bump in road. Have to slow down or stop to correct the wobble. Loss of control of the vehicle. I have heard of the problem on same type f250 in the past. No warnings before issue occurs.

My tailgate has opened on its own twice in the last few weeks. Once while parked and locked in a parking lot. The second time I was driving while pulling a trailer and the tailgate bounced on the trailer jack for over an hour.

When truck hits certain rough areas of the road the steering wheel will begin to oscillate violently and the truck will shake(death wobble). This will continue until you slow down to around 20 mph. The dealer the truck was purchased from was notified of the situation but can not get me in for at least a month. This has only happened when traveling in a straight line but if did occur in a curve I do not think I would be able to control the vehicle. This puts occupants of my vehicle as well as surrounding vehicles in danger. For now I do not feel safe driving this vehicle so it will be parked until the dealer can do something about it. After researching this it seems that this death wobble is a common occurrence with this vehicle and the manufacture has not done much to remedy the situation. i do have video of this happening but am unable to upload due to size restrictions.
