2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

HIT A BUMP RUNNING 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE IT FORCED ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN LESS THAN 2 MILES.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS OR BUMPS. COMMONLY REFERRED TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE". TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE THE WOBBLING IS GOING ON. MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AND VERY LITTLE ACTION FROM FORD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED AS A DEFECT LINKED TO ABNORMAL WEAR AND/OR LOOSENING OF THE TRACK BAR BUSHING, DAMPER BRACKET, BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, SHOCKS AND/OR STRUTS. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED BY A PRIVATE SHOP NOT THE DEALER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL! I WAS GOING 65 MPH AND I COULD BARLEY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY! BOTH OF MY WRISTS ARE SWOLLEN AND BRUISED AS WELL AS MY RIGHT THUMB. MY NAIL ON MY RIGHT THUMB IS CRACKED AND BRUISED AS WELL AS A RESULT OF HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AS SOON AS I COULD BUT I SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE AND THEN INTO A DITCH. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME, IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE EACH TIME! THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND I WANT JUSTICE. THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 3 SECONDS CLOSER I WOULD HAVE HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION GOING 65 MPH! THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY AND IT IS TERRIFYING! *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE DOING 70MPH. VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NO POWER TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND THE 4WD INDICATOR WAS MOVED FROM 2WD TO 4WD. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACK. ENGINE RUNNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ALL GAUGES IN GOOD STATUS. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR 5 MINS AND BACK ON, NO CHANGES. VEHICLE DEAD IN THE WATER. *TR

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY FROM THE FRONT END AT 70MPH. USUALLY OCCURS AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR UNEVEN LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO HARD THAT ANYTHING ON THE DASH OR CENTER CONSOLE FALLS TO THE FLOOR BOARD, CHANCES OF ITEMS LANDING BEHIND BRAKE PEDAL OR GAS PEDAL. *TR

WAS SPEEDING UP TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED WAY DOWN AND PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND EXITED THE TRUCK. I DID A VISUAL INSPECTION ALL AROUND THE TRUCK AND NOTHING APPEARED BROKEN OR DAMAGED. I GOT BACK IN AND MERGED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASED SPEED. THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION WAS GONE. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD SUPER DUTY OWNERS AND ITS CALLED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE". I CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOO. *TR

TRUCK EXPERIENCE VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS, OR GROOVES IN PAVEMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS RESULTS IN DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING/MANEUVERING OF THE VEHICLE SAFELY. PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR THE LAST 10-12K MILES. CURRENTLY IN FOR SERVICE AS THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A COUNTY ROAD AND MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. I HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD PRIOR TO CROSSING A BRIDGE. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I CAME TO A DEAD STOP. I ALMOST HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. I HAVE RESEARCHED WHAT HAPPENED AND I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THIS PARTICULAR SERIES OF VEHICLES. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PAYING TO TRY AND GET THIS FIXED BUT NO ONE PROMISES A FIX. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR CO. I CALLED THEM TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND BASICALLY HUNG UP ON ME. I'M ALSO NOW AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING ON THIS MATTER. HOW DO I INVOLVE MYSELF IN THAT MATTER? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST WHERE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES AND FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BE REAL HARD TO STAY OFF ONE OF THE VEHICLES AT YOUR SIDES OR KEEP FROM CAUSING A PILE-UP BEHIND YOU.*DT*JB

FRONT END "DEATH WOBBLE" 2019 F250 WITH 17000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON 2 LANE ROAD, SLIGHT LEFT CURVE IN THE ROAD AT APPROX 55 MPH, HIT A FROST HEAVY BUMP. CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL. WORSE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. STOPPED ONCE BELOW 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. WENT TO FORD TODAY. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I'M SKEPTICAL THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. FRONT TIRES ARE AT 5/32 FACTORY GOODYEAR. WITH EVEN WEAR. I WILL REPLACE TIRES NEXT. THESE EVENTS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS IT IS A COMBINATION OF CHEAP/WORN PARTS AND POOR QUALITY TIRES. *TR

GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER ABOUT 75 HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING STARTED SHAKING WILL BAD. HAD TO SLOW WAY DOWN TO GET CONTROL. FOUND OUT LATER THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE.
