2015 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

Consistent oil leaks. The cars are manufactured poorly and this is a horrible but common issue that Ford has yet to come up with a fix.

Today my 2015 Ford F250 SD experienced the aptly named Ford “Death Wobble”. It occurred twice today after just having the whole front end rebuilt for the same issue just weeks ago. My truck shakes so violently I am concerned for my safety and that of my wife. To stop the shaking I have to slow to 30 mph or less, typically on the highway where all other vehicles are traveling at 65+. The truck now sits at a dealership waiting for repair. The service writer states parts that were replaced two - three weeks ago are “shot”. How can this be? Ford F250’s have this as a known problem with no real fix. Just keep throwing parts at it with no resolve. I had the truck worked on in July ‘23, May ‘24 and now. I am invested heavily in this truck and have now had to replace parts multiple times because some design flaw keeps wearing them out. I’d love to see some sort of recall that forces some sort of redesign and real repair.

I was driving on the Freeway, 65 mph, all of sudden, the steering and truck started to shake violently, lost control of the steering wheel, due to the severe shaking, caused traffic behind me to stop suddenly as they noticed something major was going on. It felt like as if I had 4 flat tires, and it felt like a strong earthquake. I had to reduce speed to 10 mph per hour, it stopped shaking and exited the freeway, Never experience anything like this before.

When I drive over 50 miles an hour and I hit a small bump, the front end of my truck shakes violently. I also lose control of the truck.

I experienced the “Ford Death Wobble” when on the highway at 70 MPH. It has happened three times now. It didn’t stop until I pulled off the road and stopped. It was an unsafe situation trying to get across three lanes of traffic and stop in the shoulder of the road. I did not loose control of the truck but it was close to being uncontrollable. From what I’ve read, this needs to be a Recalled item!!

On multiple occasions I have experienced the “F250 death wobble”. When reaching speeds of over 60 mph my front end and steering wheel start shaking violently. The entire truck is uncontrollable. It feels like the vehicle is going to shake apart. It is difficult to even hold onto the steering wheel and keep the vehicle going in a straight line. I have to slow down to about 30 mph on an interstate to make it stop, creating a dangerous situation. Sometimes I have to pull off the road. Often, when hitting a bump in the road it gets triggered. I’ve had it looked at multiple times at ford dealerships and nothing is ever found that is the cause of it. It’s extremely dangerous and there is no recall for this problem. Thankfully I have managed to keep control of the vehicle. I’ve experienced this problem for going on 3-5 years. I have replaced the front tires numerous times as that seems to help, though not eliminate the problem. Ford needs to do something about this with a recall or educating their service departments. There are tons of complaints online

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the rear NOx sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 21N05. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 40,000.

While merging onto an interstate the truck began to violently shake causing me to begin to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull off the road before I lost complete control. I was extremely upset after this event. After regaining composure on the side of an interstate I pulled back onto the interstate. Within the next 10 min I hit a bump in the middle of the interstate and the truck again began to shake violently. I thought I was going to lose control and crash. We immediately had the vehicle taken to a mechanic. The work they did cost 1300$. Approximately 2 weeks after getting the vehicle back I was driving over a bridge and the seam in the road again caused the truck to violently shake. Again feeling like I was going to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull over on the side of a bridge. This caused significant trauma to myself and my young son. Since then the truck continues to violently shake anytime it’s driven over a bump or seam in the road even at slow rates of speed. We have taken the vehicle to the mechanic again and they have been unable to solve the issue
