DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AS I CROSSED A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHIMMY 'DEATH WOBBLE' SO BAD I HAD TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AFTER I WAS BELOW 10 MPH THE SHIMMY STOPPED

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND THERE IS A SMALL BUMP, THE FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 500 MILES. I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD AND COME TO A STOP TO GET THE SHIMMY TO STOP. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE AND ACCIDENT TWICE. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT.

THIS TRUCK HAS 27000 MILES ON IT AND SUFFERS FROM THE 'DEATH WOBBLE FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS OR SO. FORD HAS REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND DID NOT RESOLVE IT. NOW IT IS IN AGAIN FOR THE ISSUE THAT WAS NOT RESOLVED AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD OR RAN INTO ANYTHING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT OUT OF MY POCKET. THE WOBBLE HAPPENS WHEN HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT OR ROUGH ROAD AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH. SEVERE STEARIN VIBRATION TO THE POINT I FEEL I AM LOSING CONTROL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE CAUSING THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE SO BADLY SHE COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. SHE HAD TO BRAKE VERY QUICKLY AND TRIED TO GET OFF ROAD CAUSING HER TO HIT A TREE BRANCH AND DENTING TRUCK AND CRACKING WINDOW. I HAVE SINCE COME TO FIND THIS TO BE 'FORD DEATH WOBBLE'

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE HIGHWAY STARTING AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 55 MPH. I HAVE ENSURED THAT TIRE PRESSURE IS SET AT WHAT THE VEHICLE MANUAL RECOMMENDS, AS WELL AS ROTATING TIRES. WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" INITIATES, ONLY SLOWING DOWN TO 25 MPH OR BELOW WILL MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-15 BETWEEN SALT LAKE CITY AND OGDEN. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET. DUE TO ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING ON I-15, I HAVE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH IN A LANE WITH BARRICADES ON BOTH SIDES, FORCING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO SLOW TO THE SAME SPEED. I PUT MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON AND DO BY BEST TO SLOW DOWN AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS HAD THE VEHICLE TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SCHEDULED A THIRD APPOINTMENT HOPING THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED THIS TIME. VEHICLE MILEAGE PROVIDED IS APPROXIMATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2020. DATE PROVIDED WAS THE MOST RECENT, AND MOST SEVERE.

DEATH WOBBLE , NEW TIRES WILL STOP IT UNTIL YOU GET 20,000 MILES ON THEM AND THEN IT START AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP PUT THERE UP DATE ON IT IT HELP FOR A LITTLE AND THEN START UP AGAIN I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM MAINE SATURDAY AND IT DONE IT 20 DIFFERENT TIMES 3 TIMES IT WAS REAL BAD. THIS IS A 70,000.00 DOLLAR TRUCK AND THIS IS CRAZY.

2019 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY DEVELOPED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE APPROACH WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 25 MPH AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. FELT LIKE THE TIRE WAS FALLING OFF, BUT AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES THERE WASN'T ANY ISSUE. I THEN PROCEEDED TO INSPECT THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS FOR DAMAGE AND FOUND NOTHING. BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AND ALL WAS FINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND SERVICE MGR TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL FOR THE F250 TO ACT THIS WAY. THE TRUCK WILL NOT BE DRIVEN AGAIN UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK STARTING VIBRATING VERY VIOLENTLY. HAD TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. I'VE HEARD OF THE DEATH WOBBLE BEFORE, BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS.

MY FORD F-250 6.7 STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD IF I'M DRIVING FASTER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR
