2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

LOCAL HIGHWAY DRIVING THE TRUCK SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS TO A NEAR STOP. THE SHAKE WILL ALSO OCCUR WHEN HITTING A POT HOLE, GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS OR BRAKING. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE OCCURRED AT 17,000 MILES AND HAS SINCE CONTINUED TO A CURRENT 26,000 MILES. AFTER TAKING TO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT SEVERAL TRUCKS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME AND THE PART(S) WERE ON BACK ORDER. AFTER APPROX. 30 DAYS, THE DAMPNER CAME IN, HOWEVER, THE DEFECT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. RETURNED TO FORD SERVICE AND HAD A TIRE ALIGNMENT DONE. TO NO AVAIL, THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS DEFECT AND FOUND THE FORD COMMUNITY IS CALLING THIS OCCURRENCE AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

GOT THE DEATH WOBBLE 4 TIMES. HAVE TAKIN THE TRUCK TO FORD 2 TIMES, EACH TIME THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED. STEERING WHEEL/VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY.

STARTING AT 15,500 MY TRUCK STARTED THE SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" FORD HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH. THIS IS MY SECOND NEW TRUCK IN 2 YEARS WITH IT AND THE PROBLEM DOESN'T GET FIXED. WHEN HITTING THE SLIGHTEST BUMP MY TRUCK BECOMES UNSTEARABLE DUE TO VIOLENT SHAKING. FORD OF UNIONTOWN HAS SEEN THE VIDEO OF MY TRUCK DOING IT, THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT AND THE ONLY ANSWER I GET IS " BE CAREFUL" AND ONE SERVICE TECH SAID WHEN HE DROVE IT HE WAS AFRAID FOR THE PEOPLE NEXT TO HIM. I NEED A TRUCK, I HAVE A BUSINESS, I NEED THIS RESOLVED AND NOT AT MY COST AGAIN. NOR THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE VIDEO IF I CAN UPLOAD IT SOMEWHERE TO SHOW YOU.. PLEASE HELP

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 45MPG I HEARD A VERY LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT OR A HUGE ROCK HITTING MY TRUCK. WHEN IT WAS SAFE I PULLED OVER TO CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGES. NONE WHERE OBSERVED. THE NEXT DAY I HEARD WIND NOISE AND NO WINDOWS OPEN. I STARTED TO OPEN THE SUNROOF AND HEARD GLASS BREAKING. I GOT HOME AND LOOKED ON ROOF AND SAW A HUGE HOLE IN PANORAMIC PORTION OF SUNROOF AND 1000'S OF PIECES OF GLASS BEING HELD UP BY LINER. NO VANDALISM OR ACCIDENT CAUSED THIS. IF ANYONE IN BACKSEAT THEY COULD HAVE SUFFERED CONSIDERABLE CUTS.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ROUGHLY 75MPG) THREE TIMES I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGIN SHAKING VIOLENTLY NEARLY ELIMINATING DRIVER CONTROL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND THE SHAKING CONTINUED UNTIL I WAS NEARLY STOPPED. THE NEXT TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED THE VIOLENT BACK AND FORTH (20 DEGREES +/-) TO EITHER SIDE IT SUBSIDED ONCE I SLOWED TO AROUND 40 MPH ON THE SHOULDER. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO THIS TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I FELT LIKE WAS A FAULTY STEERING STABILIZER BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE A JITTER WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS. I WAS INFORMED THE TSB FOR A NEW STEERING STABILIZER WAS ON BACKORDER. I HAVE A 20 SECOND VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING (I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE ONE THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED) BUT IT IS TOO BIG TO ATTACH. PLEASE TELL ME WHO I CAN SEND IT TO.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES WHEN HIT A BUMP TRUCK GETS UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING 'DEATH WOBBLE ' ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. CAN'T STEER AND ALMOST DIDN'T RECOVER. HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 7-8 TIMES NOW. CARRIED TO FORD SERVICE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER 6-8 WEEKS .

FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THIS TRUCKS ,,,,,,,I'M ALMOST HAVE A ACCIDENT THAT DAY

2019 F250 KING RANCH PURCHASED NEW IN LATE JUNE 2019. FRONT SHIMMY (ALSO REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE"), STARTED OCCURRING AT AROUND 16,000 MILES. THE FRONT WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING COLUMN, ETC,. WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER PASSING OVER A BUMP, SUCH AS AN EXPANSION JOINT, POTHOLES, OR PAVEMENT OVERLAPS AT 60 MPH OR GREATER. HAPPENS MOSTLY DURING INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY DRIVING. VIOLENT SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL VEHICLE HAS SLOWED TO < 25 MPH. AS SOON AS PROBLEM STARTED, THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PARTS REPLACED AS STATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE DATED 12/10/19. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE PARTS REPLACED ARE STATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE DATED 12/26/19. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 1/14/20. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THEY ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER F250 OWNERS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2017-2020 MODELS. THE PARTS MANAGER ORDERED WHAT HE REFERRED TO AS A "SLEEVE" THAT HE HOPED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER FOR 4-8 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR THE TIME BEING, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I CURRENTLY HAVE 14K ON THE ODOMETER. DEALER OR FORD HAS NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. WOBBLE IS GETTING WORSE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE. DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE ISSUE BEFORE RECENTLY PURCHASING THE 2019 F250 AND FROM WHAT I AM FINDING OUT ON THE INTERNET THE ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FROM AS EARLY AS 2005.

HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AT 45MHP AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY HAD TO TAP THE BRAKE TO STOP IT.
