2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

I HAVE LOST STEERING CONTROL ONCE AT 70MPH AND ONCE AT 45-50 MPH AFTER HITTING MINOR PAVEMENT BUMPS. THE SO CALLED DREADED DEATH WOBBLE AND BOTH TIMES NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PROBLEM BACK IN FALL AND NOW IT'S DOING AGAIN AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I KNOW LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND THAT'S RIDICULOUS FOR A 2019 VEHICLE BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS YOU SEE ON THIS I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED WHEN THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE FOUR RECALLS I HAVE RECEIVED ON MY TRUCK LAUGHABLE REALLY WHAT IS FORD WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED I WAS VERY NEAR REAR ENDED TWICE WHEN SLOWING DOWN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE SO AS NOT TO LOSE CONTROL AND EITHER GO OFF THE ROAD OR HIT VEHICLE BESIDE ME

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY MY NEW 2019 F250 FRONT END SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL.. LESS THAN 20 THOUSAND MILES

DEATH WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. REQUIRES IMMEDIATE SLAM ON BREAKS TO STOP. HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS 50 MPH TO 70 MPH ON ANY STREET SURFACE. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AND OCCURRED EVERY TIME DRIVEN UNTIL WARRANTY DEPARTMENT REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER. IT TOOK 3 WEEKS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT STABILIZER. SECOND OCCURRENCE OCCURRED AT 13,000 MILES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND IS IN BACK IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR CURRENTLY. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THIS IS A NEW 2019 FORD 250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. IN FEBRUARY 2019 TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75 MPH( ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY) & I HIT A GROOVE AND MY FRONT END WENT IN TO A HORRIBLE HEAVY HEAD SHAKE.IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT THIS WAS THE WORST BY FAR. IN DALLAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS HEAD SHAKE IS BY HITTING THE BRAKES HARD. TO DO THAT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC ON ALL SIDES IS HORRIFYING. TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD AND THERE IS A DAMPER RECALL (AMONG OTHERS). THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER. THESE DAMPERS ARE NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A GOLF CLUB. ARE NOT MADE OR RATED TO SUPPORT A TRUCK WITH OVER A 10,000 LB WEIGHT LIMIT. NOW HERE WE ARE IN JULY AND ITS BACK IN THE SHOP. SINCE MARCH THERE HAS BEEN 2/3 MORE UPGRADES TO THIS DAMPER. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG HEAD SHAKE? IT RUINED OTHER THINGS CONNECTED TO DAMPER (DRAG LINK/BUSHING). EVEN WITH THIS NEW UPGRADED DAMPER THEY EXPECT IT'LL BE BACK IN. THEY OFFER A AFTER MARKET " DUAL-DAMPER" (700$) THAT SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND IT SHOULD COME WITH SUPER DUTY PARTS!!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT THEMSELVES AND OR OTHERS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. TRUCK SHOULD BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW, I CALLED CORPORATE TO TRY AND GET THE DUAL DAMPER APPROVED AND I AM ON HOLD. SO AS IT STANDS THIS WILL BE THE 3RD DAMPER THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE GETTING IT IN OCTOBER 2019.

ON JULY 3, 2020 AT 7:10 AM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 F250 WITH 14,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AS THE PROBLEM IS KNOW. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PATCH ON I45 SOUTH IN HOUSTON,TX. AND MY VEHICLE'S STEERING WENT VIOLENTLY WRONG. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE AS IF MY FRONT LEFT TIRE FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I APPLIED LIGHT BRAKING AS MY VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VEERED RIGHT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS BESIDE ME. LUCKILY THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND LET ME INTO THEIR LANE WITHOUT CREATING AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM COLLIDING INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER ALONG THE FEEDER ROAD. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A BIT OF AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING BUT ONLY THOUGHT IT WAS A STOUT SUSPENSION IN BEING A 4X4 F250 DIESEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE SEEMS TO IN THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND ALIGNMENT FROM THE FACTORY.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH RATTLE/WOBBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2019. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND SO DOES THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE SUSPENSION, STEERING WHEEL OR THE WHEELS THEMSELVES. WHEN I GO OVER 25 MILES AN HOUR AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD I EXPERIENCE THIS RATTLING. ALSO I HEAR THE RATTLING BELOW THE ENGINE LIKE A LOOSE MUFFLER WHEN I GO OVER THIS SPEED.

I WAS TRAVELING AT 74 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIT A ROUGH SPOT AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE TO THE POINT I HAD NO CONTROL ON DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I GOT BELOW 45 MPH AND CAME OUT OF THE WOBBLE. CONTINUED ON AT 66 MPH AND HIT ANOTHER BUMP AND WENT INTO ANOTHER WOBBLE. GAINED CONTROL WHEN I GOT BACK UNDER 45 MPH.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE UN CONTROLLABLE ALMOST RAN A SMALL CAR OFF THE ROAD SCARED ME AND THE WIFE TO DEATH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE NOW.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALSO ON CITY STREETS WITH MY FAMILY YOUNG KIDS INCLUDED AND ONCE I HIT 55-60 MY TRUCK STARTED A "DEATH WOBBLE " AS THEY CALL IT I COULDN'T CONTROL MY VEHICLE IT SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY TILL I SLOWED DOWN TO 45 THEN IT STOPPED .MY FAMILY WAS SCARED MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 17K MILES ON IT BRAND NEW TRUCK . FORD SHOULD NOT BE SELLING VEHICLES WITH THESE PROBLEMS WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AND WHAT CAN I DO ? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AGAIN TILL PROBLEM IS FIXED BUT I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. I'M GAMBLING WITH THE PERSONAL SAFTY EVERY DAY SO I CAN MAKE A LIVING .

VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE & WOBBLE AFTER CROSSING AN OVER PASS, POTHOLE, OR ANY KIND OF BUMP AT SPEED. TRUCK IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNSAFE TO TRAVEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR TOWING OF ANY KIND. DEALER ADMITS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR CONDITION HAS BEEN PERFORMED. PROBLEM PERSIST, CLEARLY THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.
