2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

The truck started shaking uncontrollably while we were on the highway (65 mph).this has happened before for short periods of time, this time was much longer and scarier. It wouldn’t stop until we pulled over on the highway and came to a complete stop. We’ve noticed this happens if the truck is turning and going over a bump. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has not been inspected yet, we left a message at Hiller Ford in Franklin, WI to set up an apt. There were not any warning signs and so thankful that my husband was able to keep the vehicle under control while traveling at high speed.

When driving and hit a bump in the road the truck shuck uncontrollably. Could have lost control of vehicle.

While driving from Texarkana Texas to Cleveland Texas today, I experienced three cases of the “Death Wobble” on my 2019 F250 Super Duty truck. This truck has only 22,800 miles on it and has no off road miles on it. This problem occurred when encountering only minor bumps in the road. This is a serious problem for several years now. I also had this problem with a new 2017 model with only 26,000 miles on it. These trucks are not safe to drive and accidents or even deaths may occur if Ford doesn’t fix their defective design.

On 8 November 2021 and again on 9 November 2021, I experienced what two Ford service dept's called the "Death Wobble". The first occurred under what was potentially lethal circumstances; twisty mountain roads on I-40W in NC. The front end began shaking violently and uncontrollably, with my vehicle surrounded by moving tractor trailer trucks. I managed to come to a violent stop on the shoulder of I-40 without a collision. The second occurred at the I-555/I-270 merge in Missouri. Same circumstances: violent shaking. I braked harshly and at approx 8mph the shaking went away. T took it to a mechanic who crawled underneath and could see nothing amiss. I then drove to the Ford dealer in Kirkwood, MO. The service chief pronounced it the "Death Wobble" but couldn't get me in for two weeks. I limped to Hermann, MO Ford dealer. The service manager pronounced it the "Death Wobble" and took it into the shop immediately. I had the vehicle back by 1000 the next morning, fixed-no charge. He said Ford had an extended warranty out on that/those parts. the steering stabilizer shock(s). It was unclear to me if this was a pair of shocks. I have no receipt because the service dept said it was a warranty issue and the dealership had to submit it to Ford.

While driving down the highway at approximately 60 mph hit a rough area that had just been patched by the highway department and the front end started shaking violently.

It has been serviced by the Ford dealership and has all original factory equipment. My safety and others on the highway was put at risk when this happened. No warning at all when it happened.

Driving on smooth highway at 65mph experienced violent shaking of front suspension almost losing control of vehicle. Had to rapidly decelerate and move shoulder before it would stop shaking. This is a known problem but no recall as yet. Nickname is ‘Death Wobble’. Afraid to drive this vehicle. I understand that action lawsuits so far have not forced Ford to recall these vehicles.
