2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STEERING WAS TERRIBLY IMPAIRED. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SLOW TO 30MPH TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.MY FORD TRUCK HAS ONLY 22,000 MILES. MY 2012 FORD TRUCK DID THE SAME THING AT 100,000 MILES.

MY F250 IS EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY CALL THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT AND BASICALLY SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH IT. NO OFFER FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE OR ANYTHING. I WAS DRIVING ON I20/59 BETWEEN EXIT 8 AND 68 WHEN IT HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SO FAR. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT MY PASSENGER REFUSED TO RIDE AGAIN. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THIS UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO 45 MPH. WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL OUR VACATION FOR CHRISTMAS BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED OF THE VEHICLE. PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK TO BE WORRIED ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS.

TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY. 75 MPH. ROAD CONDITIONS SMOOTH PAVEMENT, CLEAR, DRY, NIGHT. TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND VEERED INTO LEFT LANE. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET SHAKING TO STOP. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. *TR

TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON HIGHWAY AND PULLED ME OUT OF MY LANE. DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL.

MY FORD HAS 14300 MILES ON IT. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 12-7-19 AROUND 55 -65MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKING CAUSED PASSENGERS COFFEE CUPS TO SLOSH OUT OF THEIR CUPS IT WAS SO VIOLENT. THIS OCCURRED ON US HWY 79 NEAR HUTTO TEXAS AROUND 8 PM IN THE EVENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V864000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAILGATE CONTIOUSLY OPENED. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND PULLING A TRAILER, THE TAIL GATE OPENED AND STRUCK THE TRAILER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROSSROADS FORD OF INDIAN TRAIL (88 DALE JARRETT BLVD, INDIAN TRAIL, NC 28079, (704) 283-8521) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS FULL OF WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS25131842-R4K3S7, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,100.

DRIVING ON A FREEWAY THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AS IF WE WERE DRIVING ON THE WORST ROAD POSSIBLE AND ALL 4 TIRES HAD JUST BLOWN OUT. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN UNTIL WE COULD PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP. DURING OUR TRIP, THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE 2 DAYS WE TRAVELED. WE WERE ABLE TO FINALLY RETURN HOME AND TAKE THE TRUCK TO OUR FORD DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A "TEMPORARY" FIX TO CHANGE THE "STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER" BUT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE PART COMES IN. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT. WE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR YEARS ON THE F250 AND F350, YET I WAS SOLD THIS VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION OR MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND WILL LEAD TO SOMEONE HAVING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH.

UPON REACHING HIGHWAY SPEEDS(APPROXIMATELY 55-75MPH) THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THIS ISSUE STARTED AS MERE OFF TRACKING OF THE FRONT END, THE TRUCK WOULD STEER ITSELF. THIS ENDED UP PROGRESSING INTO SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT IT DROVE ITSELF OFF THE ROAD. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, AND STEERING CONTROL IS GONE. I WOUND UP IN A DITCH ON MY FOURTH EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VIOLENT SHAKE.

I HAVE HAD A VERY DANGEROUS VIBRATION THAT OCCURS IN THE FRONT END OF A VEHICLE. WHEN MY 2019 F250 HAS EXPERIENCES DEATH WOBBLE, THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM RAPIDLY TURNS BACK AND FORTH, MAKING CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD. IT NORMALLY ACCUSES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH TO 80 MPH. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED AT AROUND 9,000 MILES.

I HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE DAY 1. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES YET TO BE FIXED. IF I DRIVE AT A SPEED HIGHER THEN 40 MPH AND HIT A BUMP, POTHOLE, OR BRIDGE TRANSITION, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY VIBRATES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND CAUSES ME TO SKIP INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND OTHER LANES
