2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY START VIBRATING AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE/ UNSTEERABLE. FRONT WHEELS OSCILLATE/ VIBRATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE. FORD HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2+ MONTHS AND CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE.

ON 12/16/2019 WHILE TRAVELING 75 MPH ON I-44 EAST AND WEST BOUND BETWEEN BURKBURNETT TX AND OKLAHOMA CITY. MY FORD F-250 BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING AFTER HITTING SOME ROUGH ROAD. IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 20 MPH. IT WAS FREEZING WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH DRY ROADS. IT DID THIS 6 MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK HOME. UPON LEARNING THIS IS A PROBLEM KNOW AS A 'DEATH RATTLE' WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE STEERING, I WAS WONDERING WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALLED ISSUE..

DOOR LACTCHES FREEZE SHUT. DOOR HARD TO OPEN, AND ONCE OPEN WILL NOT LATCH SHUT.

EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE AND LOSS OF CONTROL. HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES AS I WAS CROSSING LANES AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

MY FORD F250 , AT ABOUT 20K MILES STARTED DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 65MPH AND HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR COMING ONTO OR OFF OF A BRIDGE. THE TRUCK WILL START A VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKE AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN BELOW 35 MPH. I HAD THE TRUCK REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AT 28K MILES. AT THAT TIME FORD WAS PRETTY NONCHALANT ABOUT IT WHEN I INQUIRED. ONCE IT WAS FIXED, THE FRONT END NEVER FELT THE SAME AS IT DID NEW. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY RETURNED. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AT 57K MILES. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS PARTS THAT ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I DRIVE 50 MILES TO WORK EVERY DAY AND THE TRUCK DOES THIS AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK. IF YOU GOOGLE FORD F250 DEATH WOBBLE YOU WILL SEE THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT FORD IS IGNORING. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE.

MULTIPLE TIMES, IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE " IN MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES. THE DEATH WOBBLE USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHICH CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY, LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.
