2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

Driving my F250 with 20k miles. Going about 60-65 mph on the highway. Traffic slows ahead so I apply light to medium pressure on the brakes and the steering wheel starts shaking violently. Pressing the brake harder or none at all had no effect. It stopped shaking so bad once under about 40. Very scary. I heard about this but have never experienced it. I have a message into my dealer, but now that I read online about all the complaints, this is a very serious safety issue and should be addressed. These are way too heavy of a vehicle to be on the road with this type of safety issue. Please look into it.

Driving westbound on I-10 east of Houston Texas, near Beltway 8. I was in the left lane. I apparently hit a small bump in the road. My truck instantly began to become impossible to control. My steering wheel was shaking back and forth uncontrollably. My entire truck was shaking, almost like it was having a seizure. It was almost violent. I tried to hold control of the wheel, while trying to slow down. I was unable to do either with any effectiveness in a quick fashion. It was as if my wheels were not making contact with the road, possibly bouncing up and down. I hit the brakes and tried to steer into the shoulder to avoid traffic nearby. It was difficult as the wheels were not making contact with the road to steer and they were not allowing the brakes to properly slow the vehicle as they were not touching the road for very long. I was eventually able to slow the vehicle and enter the shoulder and get the vehichle to stop shaking. I honestly thought I was about to flip over or have a significant wreck as I had very little control of the vehichle.

Traveling on i90 at 70 mph hit a slight bump in the road and the steering wheel started vibrating violently to the point I couldn't control the truck. My life flashed before me!!! Luckily traffic seen what had happened and back off. Truck is at fugate ford at this time.

While driving on the highway at 83 mph (80 mph posted speed limit), my 2019 Ford F250 began to violently "wobble" and vibrate to the extent it was quite difficult to control the vehicle. I was in the far left lane and had to brake and maneuver through high speed traffic to get to the shoulder to stop. The violent wobbling did not reside until I was almost to a complete stop.

I was driving on the freeway (75mph) and my truck went into a death wobble. The whole truck was shaking like all 4 tires went flat. I immediately tried to slow the vehicle down and pull over. Luckily there was no traffic and I did not cause an accident. Once the vehicle slowed down to about 20mph it smoothed out and no longer wobbled. This happened on the 16th of November and hasn't happened since.

Driving at posted limit on I55, left front hit small bump in road and front end shook violently for about 20-30 seconds. Steering damper replaced 5 days later, per TSB 21-2173, but no root cause indicated. Concern that this may lead to injury until fully repaired.

While driving my 2019 F250 (which has just over 6,000 total miles on it at this time) at highway speed towing an empty trailer (which I have had for several years and towed with several vehicles before) the truck started shaking violently! I could hardly control it and had to dramatically slow way down to get the violent shaking to stop. This happened 4 times on two trips in the last couple weeks with two different trailers. It is definitely the truck and not the trailers. Fortunately no cars were immediately next to me or the results would have been tragic. The truck is essentially new, has been stored indoors all the time, very well maintained, no accidents or abuse so no reason it would be having any issue much less such a severe one.

16,000 miles . Experienced a significant shaking wobble after hitting rough patch on bridge at 70 mph. Had to slow almost to a stop for it to subside. Has happened 2 more times in last week. Very scary and dangerous. Someone will die because of this.

Violent shaking of the steering wheel occurs randomly. Sometimes applying brakes , other time when hitting a bump in the road

On 12/5/21 - at approximately 11:00am, I driving my 2019 Ford F-250 towing a utility trailer and an ATV. My speed at the time was 60 mph, and I have 41,211 miles on the truck. As I started to make a lane change the steering wheel started to violently shake, and the entire front end of the truck started to violently shake as well. It was all I could to do keep from crashing into another vehicle. Fortunately, I was able to slow down and pull off of the roadway before causing a traffic accident. It was an extremely stressful and scary situation! When I arrived home I googled the situation I had experienced to see if there might be an explanation as to why this had occurred. I was shocked to learn that what I had experienced (“The Death Wobble”) had been well documented, that Ford had known about the problem for years, and there was a class action lawsuit had been filed. I am making this complaint hoping either a recall is issued or Ford will do the right thing and correct the problem ASAP.
