2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

MY 2019 F-250 FRONT TIRES STARTING BOUNCING AT 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE ENOUGH TO ALARM ME A MONTH AGO. YESTERDAY 12/19/20 I HIT A BUMP ON A BRIDGE 63 MPH AND THE TRUCKS FRONT TIRES STARTED BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY, I ALMOST HIT A LOG TRUCK HEAD ON. I HELD THE WHEEL HARD W/BOTH HANDS AND TRIED TO BRAKE BUT THEY DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING THE EVENT. THIS TRUCK HAS 32K MILES AND IT IS DANGEROUS!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND UPON HITTING A BUMP EXPERIENCED WHAT I HAVE COME TO KNOW AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND PRESUMABLY THE TIRES WERE SHAKING AS WELL BECAUSE I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND COULD SLOWLY BRAKE TO A STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE, AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS DUE TO A LITANY OF SUSPENSION PARTS BEING LOOSE OR TOO WEAK.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY ON AN INCLINE AND SLIGHT CURVE. THERE WAS A LITTLE DIP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I PULLED OVER CHECKED TRUCK AND TIRES OVER. FOUND NO PROBLEM. I PULLED BACK ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN IT DROVE NORMAL. DID RESEARCH AND I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE DEATH WOBBLE BEFORE THAT.

VEHICLE BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH AFTER HITTING ANY SORT OF CRACK, POT HOLE, OR IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD SURFACE. THE TRUCK WILL DART TO ONE SIDE OR THE STEERING WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 22K MILES.

"DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER ONLY 14,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.. THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEED STEERING FEAR. EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLES SHAKES FOR A VERY LONG TIME TILL YOU SLOW DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY AND TRY TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDERS.. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

ON 12/15/2020 AT APPROX 4:30 PM, I EXPERIENCED SEVER STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION (DEATH WOBBLE) WHILE CROSSING AN OVER PASS EXPANSION JOINT ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT AROUND 70 MPH. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT. LUCKILY MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS IT WAS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE, HAD TO MERGE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND DECREASE SPEED TO AROUND 30 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. CAR BEHIND ME SAW THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS HOPPING UNCONTROLLABLY AND PUT THEIR HAZARDS ON.THERE ARE KNOWN FSA'S AND TSB'S FROM FORD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE TO DEALER TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL THREADS ABOUT THIS, I'M SURE IT WILL BE MORE OF A "BAND AID" THAN A TRUE SOLUTION.

MY TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN HITTING ROUGH PATCH ON HIGHWAY. ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO HAVING TO SLOW DOWN AND STEERING BEING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. CARS BEHIND ME SWERVED TO AVOID ME. MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS IN THE. BACK SEAT AND WAS TERRIFIED WITH MYSELF AND MY GIRLFRIEND RIDING PASSENGER.

TRUCK'S TAILGATE OPENS AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT UNSURE WHAT SPEED AS NO INDICATION THAT TAILGATE IS OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE.

HIT AN UNEVEN SPOT WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT TOWN ROAD AND THE FRONT END AND STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. VEHICAL HAD 1300 MILES ON IT. DEATH WOBBLE. REOCCURANCE ON 10/25/2020 AT 1600 MILES ON STATE HYWAY STRAIGHT AWAY WITH SMALL BUMP.
