2019 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A FREEWAY, HIT A BUMP, FRONT WHEELS START SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THE ONLY WAY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES, LOSING TOTAL CONTROL OF VEHICLE, UNTIL THE SPEED IS ABLE TO GO DOWN TO AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH. EXTREMELY TERRIFYING WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WITH 18 WHEELERS ON BOTH SIDES OF YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, MOST RECENT ON 4-23-20. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE IN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH AND THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT IT SLOWED TO 20MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V808000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN SANG FORD (195 UPPER RIVER RD, GALLIPOLIS, OH 45631) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMED. AFTER THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED LOW VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRUCK WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE GOING OVER BUMPS AND WILL OCCASIONALLY THROW YOU OFF THE ROAD WHEN GOING OVER BUMPY ROADS ON FREEWAY. ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A SLIGHT CURB. DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY CHANGED STEERING STABILIZER. IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE REPAIR AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON THE HIGH. POSSIBLY INJURING OR KILLING MY PASSENGERS.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR ON I-40 EAST IN AMARILLO TEXAS A COUPLE DAYS AGO + THE HIGHWAY GOT REALLY NARROW BETWEEN THE CONCRETE BARRIERS AND I GUESS I HIT A COUPLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MY FRONT END STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD IT MADE MY PICK UP CHANGE LANES AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP THE SHIMMY BY HITTING THE BRAKES TILL I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. THERE WAS A CAR JUST BEHIND ME TO THE LEFT THAT IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN. CLOSER, 20 FT MORE WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. THIS IS A NEARLY NEW VEHICLE ONLY 5200 MILES ON IT HAS NO OTHER FRONT END SHAKING PROBLEMS UNTIL I DID THIS. THANK YOU FOR ANY NEWS OR CAMPAIGNS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING I RAN OVER A SMALL POTHOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIOLENTLY WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH TO THE POINT THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THIS IS NOW COMMONLY CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE.

THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 70 MILES PER HOUR AFTER HITTING VARIOUS ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS ON THE FREEWAY. EVERYTHING FROM EXPANSION JOINTS TO SMALL POTHOLES. THE DEALER CHANGED THE STEERING STABILIZER TO THE UPDATED MODEL, BUT THE TRUCK STILL SHAKES WHILE GOING OVER THESE ROAD CONDITIONS, BUT DOES NOT WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL. "DEATH WOBBLE" TRUCK BEGAN THIS VIBRATION AT 10,000 MILES, AND THE WOBBLE TOOK PLACE THREE TIMES BEGINNING AT 13,000.

TRAVELING ON I287 AT 50 MPH WE HIT A CRACK IN PAVEMENT AND STEERING STARTED TO THRASH RAPIDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. WAS LUCKY NOT TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET FROM MIDDLE LANE TO SHOULDER AT RUSH HOUR ON I287 IN METRO NY NEAR THE RYE, NY GREENWICH, CT BORDER. HAD TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO HAVE THE STEERING STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE

TRUCK HAS DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM. WHILE IN MOTION IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN THE SUSPENSION CYCLES A CERTAIN WAY AND CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL
