2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

WHEN THE TUCK HIT AN AVERAGE BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT GOES INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE FOR AT LEAST 30 SECOND BEFORE RECOVERING. THIS IS VERY SEVERE AND HAPPENS ROUTINELY. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 4000 MILES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

DEATH WOBBLE ON INTERSTATE. UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMP ON INTERSTATE. BARELY HELD IT ON THE ROAD AND THE WOBBLING ONLY STOPPED AFTER WE PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. EXTREME DANGER. HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT THIS LAST TIME WAS VERY SEVERE. FORD HOME OFFICE ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND THE REMEDY IS A STABILIZER BAR WHICH THEY ARE PUTTING ON MY TRUCK TODAY. BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 WEEKS SO WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING BACK ROADS EVERYWHERE. MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. THIS MORNING THERE WAS ANOTHER 250 THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE HAD A VIDEO OF HIS DOING IT. NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IF A BIG F250 WRECKS WE MAY SURVIVE BUT IF WE HIT A SMALLER VEHICLE IT COULD INJURE KILL THEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT OR ABOVE 60 MPH ANY BUMP OR DEFLECTION IN THE ROAD CAN AND WILL CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO START SHAKING AND WALKING SIDE TO SIDE DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL I CAN SLOW DOWN TO A NEAR STOPPED SPEED. FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 26000 MILES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY DRAG LINK, THEN AT 36000 MILES IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I HAVE NOW SPENT THE LAST 5 MONTHS DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM AS FORD INSISTS THEY CANT GET ME PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCK. I HAVE NOW MOVED PAST FORD AND I AM REPAIRING THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN. AS FOR PAPERWORK ALL I HAVE IS AN EMAIL FROM FORD CUSTOMER CARE WITH A COMPLAINT NUMBER AND ALL CONTACT WAS BY PHONE. DEALERSHIP HAS ALL THE PAPERWORK AND NOT WILLING TO RELEASE IT TO ME AT THIS TIME.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2019 F250 SUPER DUTY FROM BILL LUKE SANTAN, (NOT OUR HOME TOWN), ON 12/27/2019. IT CAME WITH A 120 MILE RETURN POLICY. WHEN MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE WAY HOME IT BEGAN A HORRIBLE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END, THIS HAPPENED TWICE. EACH TIME AT ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN TOWN AT ABOUT 55 AND NOT AS SEVERE. I STARTED MAKING PHONE CALLS AND DOING RESEARCH. APPARENTLY THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE IS QUITE WELL KNOWN. WIFE DROVE IT TO MESA FOR A DR APPOINTMENT ON THE 7TH OF JANUARY. SHE HIT A BRIDGE BUMP AND VIBRATED VERY VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT A HALF OF MILE, TRYING SLOWING TO GET IT TO STOP. IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL SHE DID. THAT WAS AT ABOUT 75 MPH. SHE FELT A FEW MORE MINOR ONES ON THE TRIP AS WELL. THE NEXT DAY DURING A TRIP SOMEWHAT INTO TOWN IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BUMPS, CURVES, EVEN AT TAKE OFF. THIS VEHICLE FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND WE HAVE PUT IT OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL IT CAN BE RESOLVED. NOW AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH AND SPENDING $47000 WE ARE QUITE AFRAID FOR OUR SAFETY EVEN IF A REPAIR IS DONE AND FEARING WE HAVE JUST WASTED A LOT OF MONEY. NOW EVERYONE I TALK TO KNOWS ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE. IF I HAD I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. FROM WHAT I AM READING THERE IS NO REAL FIX IN PLACE NOR A RECALL FROM FORD. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN WRECKS AND INJURIES AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE TAKING PLACE REGARDING THE MATTER. I HAVE STARTED A PAPER TRAIL OF ACTIONS, PHONE CALLS, EMAILS, AND COPIES OF RESEARCH.

DEATH WOBBLE!! WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, AND THERE ARE SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VERY BADLY. HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING MY TRUCK IN CONTROL. HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SOME, THEN STOP ON ITS OWN, BUT NOT THAT TIME. IF A DEATH WOBBLE CAUSES A ACCIDENT OR WORSE YET, SOMEONE GETS KILLED, FORD WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS. 😨 THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY (HWY 59 IN FORT BEND COUNTY IN TEXAS. ON A STRAIGHT WAY GOING ABOUT 60 - 65 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WE HIT SEVERAL POTHOLES. THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. WE HAD TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE SHAKING THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 7195 MILES ON IT

AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW, 2019 F250 SUPER DUTY, WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEATH WOBBLE BEGAN OCCURRING AT A SPEED OF OR HIGHER THAN 60MPH AFTER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER INITIALLY FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE, WHERE THEY THEN REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AFTER DEEMING IT FAULTY. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, WITH JUST OVER 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE DEATH WOBBLE REAPPEARED WITH MORE SEVERITY AS WELL AS THE BRAKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ESSENTIALLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE. AGAIN, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE BRAKING ISSUE DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND TOLD ME TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW LONG AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES THE ISSUE BEGIN AND THAT THEY WILL WORK ON IT WHEN THEY CAN FIX THE OTHER ISSUE, SO THEY ALSO DID NOT FIX THE STEERING ISSUE WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THEY DEEMED THE STEERING DAMPER FAULTY AGAIN, BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THE PARTS. WELL THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER THAT HAS HAD TO BE PARKED DUE TO IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A BACKORDER. MY SAFETY IS AT RISK EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PARK IT AND I NOW BELIEVE I HAVE A LEMON SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

2019 F250 EXPERIENCING 'DEATH WOBBLE' WITH 32,000 MILES. DEALER SUGGESTED AFTER MARKET PARTS! THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES IF THE TRUCK DRIVE OVER ANY SMALL DEFECT IN THE ROAD AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE GETS BELOW 5 MPH.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAME OVER A ROUGH PATCH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS THOUGH I HAD A FLAT TIRE. STEERING LOCKED UP, AND I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, THE PREVIOUS INSTANCE, THE SHAKING STOPPED ONCE I REDUCED SPEED, THIS TIME IT CONTINUED UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP.

2019 FORD F-250 DIESEL DID THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH (ONE ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 AND AGAIN ON DECEMBER 22, 2019)
