2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

On 11/16/2021, at approx. 1 pm, I merged onto a major interstate freeway from an on-ramp, in a westbound direction. The weather was a clear, sunny day and the roadway surfaces were dry and level. I accelerated to approx. 65 miles-per-hour as I merged onto the far right lane (slow lane), the roadway surface became a little uneven and contained several ripples. My 2019, Ford F-250 Super Duty, 4WD truck began to shake violently in a side-side motion. Fortunately, there wasn't any approaching vehicle traffic behind me for quite some distance. I held firmly to the steering wheel and took my foot off the accelerator. I steered the truck in a diagonal direction (west by northwest) toward the north shoulder of the freeway. As the truck slowed, I applied the brakes gently and intermittently. I reached the shoulder and parked the truck. I inspected the truck for any obvious deficiencies, and I did not see any. I made an appointment with the closest Ford dealership, and on 11/26/2021, the dealership replaced the steering stabilizer. The Ford dealership's service advisor refused my request to give me possession of the replaced stabilizer stating it is Ford's policy to keep parts replaced under a warranty replacement. My truck had approx. 28, 200 miles at the time. No one was injured, and no crash occurred in this incident of, "Sustained Steering Wheel Oscillation." This was the only occurrence of sustained steering wheel oscillation I have experienced.

This is to report another incident of what is now known as the Ford Death Wobble. Despite Ford's denial of this condition existing, it is real. My truck has only 18K miles on it and I experienced the issue three times while driving on the freeway yesterday, Dec 02, 2021. It is terrifying and if one of my daughters or other family member had been driving, I am scare to think what the result might have been. There is much information about this issue on the internet, though I am not sure how much is fact or opinion. What I do know is that it happened to me and it is real and serious. I make this claim in part as documentation in case there is a serious accident related to this obvious defect. I have an appointment with a local dealership tomorrow, Dec 04, 2021 to see if the issue can be fixed. I will make clear to them the issue, the recording of my efforts to have the issue addressed by Ford and the documentation of this issue. I implore the NHTSA to take action to demand Ford address this serious risk. I encourage you to share this complaint with Ford officials. I want to be on public record about this issue.

This 2019 Ford F250 has a classic case of the "Death Wobble". Anytime the vehicle is travelling over 50 mph and hits a bump the truck shakes violently. It shakes bad enough to throw the contents of the door pockets throughout the interior. It is extremely dangerous when this occurs travelling on the crowded freeways of South Florida where I live and work. This is not an unknown condition of Ford trucks. A simple google search produces pages and pages of documented incidents.

While traveling at 65 MPH, a severe shake in the front end caused me to leave the highway and continued to shake until I came to a complete stop. Vehicle has been taken to a dealer 3 times and is still not repaired. Very dangerous to drive.

Vehicle begins violently shaking as described as the Death Wobble at highway speeds in excess of 50mph, after crossing onto uneven pavement, or driving through a rough patch in roadway, or bridge expansion joint. Steering wheel vibrates back and forth and steering becomes unresponsive and speed must be decreased immediately to regain control of the vehicle.

While driving down the highway my truck started to violently wobble. Once I slowed down it went away. This has happened a few times now and I understand it has been revered to as the death wobble.....

Death Wobble ... hit an uneven portion of the road and my truck began to shake violently. Quickly reduced speed and things returned to normal

On >10 occasions when driving down the highway and hitting a bump the truck stops to violently shake, is difficult to control and continues to shake until I reduce my speed to below 25mph level which is dangerous on the highway. I have reported this issue to the dealer once before with no resolution. They said they could t find a problem. The first occurrence was last year when the vehicle was not one year old yet and has continued since then u til the last occurrence on 11/26/2021.

I was driving my Ford F-250 SuperDuty at 65 mpg on a 4 lane hwy (posted speed 65) when the truck suddenly, without warning, shaking and bouncing violently. The jostling was so violent my head hit the top of the cab and my glasses were bouncing on my face. The steering wheel was shaking but I was able to get to the side of the road and stop. It was the worst, most violent shaking I have ever experienced. I thought my wheels were coming off. My head, neck, and back are sore today from the incident. The truck gave no warning, no warning lights, sounds, etc. to indicate what was about to happen. It shook so hard my vision was doubled. *I do NOT know what failed or malfunctioned. It appeared to be wheels, steering, suspension? *This put me at grave risk of losing control, overturning, rolling and getting killed. It put others on the highway at risk because I could have caused them to wreck by the actions of my uncontrollable truck. I could have killed myself and others on the highway. *I have not had the opportunity to take this back to a dealer yet. *No one has inspected it yet. *No warning lights, no sounds, no indication of impending problem. Ford should NOT allow this to happen on ANY vehicle. This is a death trap and I am afraid to continue driving it. DEATH TRAP!

Driving 75mph on freeway and front-end started shaking violently 2019 ford f250 could not be controlled almost caused a collision.
