2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, IT GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE THAT I CAN'T STOP. THE TRUCK USUALLY HAS TO GET DOWN BELOW 30 MPH BEFORE IT STOPS WOBBLING. I LOST A BOAT OFF A TRAILER BECAUSE THE TRUCK AND TRAILER GOT SIDEWAYS

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 45-65MPH ON HIGHWAY, TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND ENTIRE VEHICLE WILL WOBBLE AND BOUNCE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND ONLY WAY TO REDUCE THE SHAKING EPISODE IS TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND REDUCE SPEED TO BELOW 10MPH. THIS IS A COMMON FORD FRONT END PROBLEM AND IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND OCCURS IN MOST FORD SUPERDUTYS FROM 2005-2020

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH 14000 MILES 3 DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS 40MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON ROAD. THE TRICK VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I COMPLETELY STOPPED THE TRUCK. I CALLED SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS A DEATH WOBBLE AND IF THEY REPLACE THE MANUFACTURE PART IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN ABOUT 30K MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH ON WET ROADWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 35 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIBERTY FORD BRUNSWICK (3101 CENTER RD, BRUNSWICK, OH 44212, (330) 225-9141) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY, STEERING LINKAGE, DAMPER AND TIRE PRESSURE NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP ON HIGHWAY STEERING WHEEL CAN SHAKE ALMOST CAUSING YOU TO CHANGE LANES.

AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. ANY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT ~55 MPH OR MORE, THIS HAPPENS. TRUCK HAS 25800 MILES. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT UP UNTIL THIS TIME, IT WAS NOT NEAR AS BAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL CARONE FORD INC., (5093 US-117, WALLACE, NC 28466) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN UNKNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,198.

FROM THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 50-70MPH, SIMILAR TO TIRES NOT BEING BALANCED CORRECTLY, AND PLANNED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT ON THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AT AROUND 3900 MILES ON THE WAY HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP I HIT A SMALL INSIGNIFICANT POTHOLE ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 70 AND IT JERKED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE. THAT SAME ROAD TRIP I HIT A SECOND SMALL POTHOLE AND THIS TIME IT JERKED THE TRUCK INTO THE OTHER LANE, LUCKILY NO CAR WAS NEXT TO ME. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE THE ON RAMP OF A FREEWAY, AT AROUND 50 MPH, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT I WOULD LATER FIND TO BE KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT SHOOK THE WHEEL SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS WAS COMING OFF THE TRUCK. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AND THE WOBBLE DISSIPATED SO I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING SLOWLY BACK HOME. I CALLED AND BROUGHT THE VEHICHLE INTO THE DEALER AN HOUR LATER AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE A TSB OUT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. IF THIS IS OCCURING AT 4K MILES THAN IT IS NOT A 'WEAR AND TEAR' ISSUE. THIS IS A PROBLEM DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY AND FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO NOT SELL ANOTHER F-250 OFF THEIR LOT UNTIL THEIR TSB HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND RECALL ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NOW HAS ME FEARFUL OF LETTING MY WIFE AND KIDS RIDE IN THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH THEN AFTER BREAKS WERE APPLIED THE TRUCK STARTED TO GO INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHICH ALMOST MADE ME CRASH.

DEATH WOBBLE / SEVERE SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 70 MPH AND HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE PAVEMENT AT A BRIDGE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND STEERING SYSTEM AND WHATEVER ELSE IT TAKES TO FULLY RESOLVE. PEOPLE WILL GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED.
