2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

Driving on highway 287 in NJ and hit slight bump in road causing severe uncontrollable shaking of truck. Finally got truck to pull over and stop. Kept pressure on brakes to stop shaking. Then continued. The next day, on another highway, rt 80 in NJ, I again hit another bump on road going 60, and it happened again.

I cant drive truck over 50mph it shakes the whole truck i looked it up its called the death wobble. I almost lost control today and wrecked with my whole family in the car.

I was driving down the highway going 75mph and hit a slight bump on the overpass and my vehicle began to shake very violently. I had to come to a complete stop in the middle of the highway with people flying by me. There was no shoulder for me to pull over and it was by far one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve been apart of in a vehicle. This is known as the Death Wobble and it’s a huge safety issue. There was no warning and I had to think quickly on my feet. Luckily my family wasn’t with me.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle hit a pothole and inadvertently started shuddering violently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred several times while driving whenever the vehicle drove over a pothole. The contact stated she reduced the speed to 40 MPH and the vehicle stopped shuddering. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the front stabilizer shocks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

Last month we purchased a 2019 F250 SD..with less than 32K miles...(under Warranty). Since the purchase, we have had 3 incidents of the Ford "DEATH WOBBLE", each one increasingly worse than the last. The local Ford dealer finally ( a week to get in ) begrudgingly DROVE & INSPECTED the truck & said "NOTHING WRONG". We asked they check the bushings, balljoints, steering system for Wobble... they said NO SUCH THING...and then aligned the front tires free of charge ? Two days later as I was heading to Texas...I hit a bump in the road and the RIGHT tire lost contact w/the road. Then after it made contact w/road, I had EXTREME jerking Left & Right IN THE STEERING...causing the truck to veer into the left lane ( a 4 lane)...I was within 2' of hitting the concrete divider ! Traffic behind me SLOWED. The WOBBLE is most violent when the Truck hits a defect in the pavement at 45 to 70MPH wherein the wheel is momentarily airborne...THEN on impact w/the road, the Wobble begins..there is NO CONTROL at that point. Once in Texas, I went to an Independent Service Center who had a great deal of experience w/the DEATH WOBBLE...not only verified the problem as the Death Wobble BUT FIXED IT !...to the point my wife will now travel with me...she had refused the trip from AL. to Tx. I did not blame her...it is very scary stuff. Safer on the airline, Covid & all ! PARTS NEEDED: Caster/camber adjusting bushings, Rod Assy-Drag Lind, Tie Rod Ends, 2 Ball Joints, Stabilizer/Track Bar, Tie rod end were all replaced. It drives good, no Death Wobble !!...VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD...

When driving the truck and come into contact with rough road, the front wheel/s feel like they are coming off of the truck. The entire truck shakes as well as the steering column vibrating extensively. Since this issue has been recognized a couple months ago as I was driving on a freeway, the local Ford dealership service center is willing to fix the issue but informed me that I would be held responsible for the service costs due to my truck having 49,000 miles on it and no longer covered under the 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. As I have researched, I have found this to be a common problem with the Ford F250 and is called the "Death Wobble". For an inexperienced driver this could be a major accident waiting to happen!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 MPH and traveling over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle started shaking violently. The contact mentioned that the vehicle experienced the death wobble. Additionally, the front tires were off the roadway. The contact applied the brakes to stop the vehicle from shaking. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Vehicle has 19,600 miles and recently when entering Interstate and going over a rough area on the highway at 60 - 65 mph the front end steering started a very violent shaking causing the vehicle to be hard to control and forcing me to slow down so rapidly it caused other vehicles behind me to have to swerve to keep from running into the rear of my vehicle. The shaking stopped after I came to a stop on the side of the road and has not happened again but have only driven a few miles since this occurred.

I have experienced rapid, violent vibrations in the front suspension (aka "death wobble") in my 2019 Ford F-250 numerous times. I have taken it back to the dealership (Loveland Ford) where I purchased and have my vehicle services through. It started with less that 10,000 miles on it. Ford came out with a recall to replace the steering dampener and Ford has replaced it twice, have done an alignment on the vehicle. It seemed to have been better but I don't drive the interstate that often anymore and have since experienced it a number of times. Ford now tells me they have done everything they can but I just experienced it again and I have just under 30,000 miles on this truck. I am sure you are aware of the concerns but if not, just google death wobble, 2019 Ford F-250, I am not the only one. This is very concerning to me because each time I have had to slow down from 75 to 35 to get it to stop and my concern is this is going to cause and accident or vibrate so violently that it will cause a crash.

When driving at highway speeds (45mph plus) the vehicle has twice begun to shake/shudder violently when going over a bump. When this occurs, the only option is to slow down and pullover as quickly as possible whereupon the shaking subsides. All tires are inflated to the proper PSI and the vehicle was not being used for towing when this occurred. The vehicle only has 30,000 miles and has been taken into the dealership per the maintenance schedule for inspection and maintenance.
