2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. NORTH PARK LINCOLN (9207 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN EXCESSIVELY SHAKING. WE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO CAREFULLY SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO FORD FOR SERVICE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, CALLED "DEATH WOBBLES" AND SAYS THE PART NEEDED TO FIX IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ETA.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK FROM SANDERSON FORD IN GLENDALE AZ. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FRONT END. WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR GROVE IN THE ROAD GOING OVER 50 MPH (I WAS GOING 70MPH AND 65MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED). THE TRUCK STARTS SHIMMYING SO SEVERELY THAT I IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO COME TO A STOP TO GET THE SHIMMYING TO STOP. ONCE I STOP AND START GOING AGAIN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND BOTH TIMES HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND WAITED TWO MONTHS WITH A PART SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED AND IT HAD NOT COME IN. I THEN WENT BACK AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO MAKE THIS AN EMERGENCY ORDER. THEY DID AND IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND NO PART. I'M THINKING FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I PAID 60K FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ADDED ANOTHER 5800.00 FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACT ALL TO HAVE A VEHICLE I AM AFRAID MAY GO INTO THIS SHIMMY AT ANY TIME WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE FORD AWARE THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M FINE WITH THE TRUCK OTHERWISE BUT I NEED THIS FIXED. THIS TRUCK IS SUPPOSE TO GET ME THROUGH RETIREMENT. I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND ON REPLACING IT AS I WOULD LOSE TONS OF MONEY IF I HAD TO TRADE IT IN ALREADY. THE TRUCK HAS 9K MILES. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

THIS TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE DEALT WITH THREE DEALERSHIPS AND FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, TO NO AVAIL. WE ARE TOLD THE PART TO FIX THIS IS ON BACK LOG WITH NO EXPECTED DATE GIVEN. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS BEING BLAMED ON A STEERING STABILIZER, BUT ALSO THE FRONT AXELS.

THIS VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN A DRY HIGHWAY WITH A UNLOADED TRAILER. DRIVER REPORTED ALL AT ONCE A DEATH WOBBLE AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC ALMOST GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER. CRUISING AT 72 MPH ON A DRY PAVED HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND FELT AS IF IT WOULD GO OUT OF CONTROL. OUR COMPANY PURCHASED TWO WITHIN A SHORT TIME OF EACH OTHER AND THEY BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE MORE THAN ONCE AND ARE APPEARING MORE OFTEN.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON A PAVED HIGHWAY UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURES, ON A DRY ROAD WE DROVE OVER A BRIDGE NORMALLY. UPON CROSSING THE BRIDGE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND VEER UNCONTROLLABLY. WITH AN INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT AND THIS VEHICLE BEING FIXED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE, OUR COMPANY THINKS A RECALL IS IN ORDER. WE ALSO HAVE A SECOND FORD SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVEING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY 2019 F250 GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY IT HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK AND NOT WRECK. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO GET FIXED 3 TIMES FORD TURNED ME DOWN BY SAYING THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX IT . FINALLY AFTER MONTHS OF SETTING I GOT IT IN AND FIXED. 2000 MILES LATER IT STARTED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FORD TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

2019 F250 - 28,000 MILES WHILE DRIVE APPROX. 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD, AT WHICH POINT MY TRUCK WENT INTO WHAT IS KNOWN BY MOST FORD OWNERS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" , I HAD TO SLOW TO 45 MPH TO GET MY TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL, THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD REPLACED THE "STEERING DAMPNER" AND CLAIMED THAT IT IS FIXED, FAST FWD TWO MONTHS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, AGAIN AT APPROX. 65-70 MPH THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH FORD, THERE NEEDS TO BE A FACTORY RECALL ON ALL SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SO THAT FORD CAN GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

ON THREE OCCASION NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AROUND 75-80 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS THANKFUL THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE NEXT TO ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT VIBRATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE DRIFTING OF THE VEHICLE INTO OTHER LANES DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOWLY LOWER MY SPEED. AS A RESULT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY THEY FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHEN HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR EXPANSION JOINT ON ROAD GOING AROUND 45 MPH OR HIGHER THE TRUCK STARTS VIBRATING REALLY BAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THE LATEST ON 12/28/2019, 3 TIMES ON MY 117 MILE TRIP. ONCE SO BAD, THAT I WAS ALMOST TAKEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND GOING INTO THE MEDIAN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TAKEN TRUCK IN SOON TO HAVE FIXED. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS STATED IN TSB # 18-2268. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, FORD IS ONLY MAKING THE PARTS WHEN NEEDED AND SOME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN WAITING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS.
