2019 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE CHANGING LANES. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WHILE I RETURNED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND REDUCED SPEED. THE SHAKING STOPPED WHEN THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 30 MPH. TWENTY MINUTES LATER WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AT 65 MPH AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING RETURNED. I REDUCED SPEED AND THE SHAKING STOPPED AT 30 MPH.

MY 2019 FORD F-350 HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,300 MILES ON IT. ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2019, I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH) WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 NEAR SAN ANTONIO, TX AROUND MILE MARKER 588 SHORTLY AFTER NOON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. I HIT A SMALL, BUT RELATIVELY DEEP POTHOLE IN MY LANE, WHICH CAUSED A JOLT TO THE VEHICLE. WHAT FOLLOWED NEXT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. I INITIALLY THOUGHT BOTH OF THE FRONT STEER TIRES HAD EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THE SHAKING WAS OCCURRING ON BOTH FRONT TIRES AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE AND MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AT SOME POINT DURING MY DECELERATION, PERHAPS AROUND 25 MPH, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I EXITED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD SEE NO DAMAGE TO EITHER TIRE, NOR ANY INDICATION OF DAMAGE TO THE TIE RODS, SHOCKS OR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING AND LATER CONDUCTED A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION, AGAIN FINDING NO APPARENT DAMAGE OR CAUSE FOR THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND WOBBLING I HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN. IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WITH VERY BAD CONSEQUENCES. I OCCASIONALLY PULL FIFTH WHEEL AND GOOSE NECK TRAILERS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHY I PURCHASED IT. IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING A LOAD, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE TERRIBLE.

TRUCK WENT INTO UNCONTROLLABLE DEATH WOBBLE AT 75MPH ON FREEWAY IN GLENDIVE MONTANA. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING. *LN*JB

TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WILE ON FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP AND START DRIVING AGAIN.

MY NEW F350 WITH 6K MILES ON IT STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL ON SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND SO WAS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

FRONT END BOUNCED UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65) ON RELATIVELY SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE - ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO SLOW TO BELOW 40 MPH

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. IT HAPPENS IN THE SAME PLACE ON MY COMMUTE WHERE I PASS OVER A BRIDGE JOINT ON THE FREEWAY. I AM USUALLY DOING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH. IT SHAKES THE VEHICLE SO BADLY THAT I HAVE TO CROSS THROUGH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONLY THEN WILL THE WOBBLE STOP. THE TRUCK HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE ACTING THIS WAY. I COULD MAYBE UNDERSTAND IF IT HAD 250,000 AND VERY WORN OUT STEERING COMPONENTS.

I GOT THE TRUCK BACK FROM THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT, AFTER THEY CALLED ME SAYING THAT IT WAS RECALLS THAT THE FORD AGENCY DIDN'T DO, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK A WEEK AGO FROM THIS POST, MY TRUCK CAME EQUIPPED WITH BIRDS EYE CAMERA, MEANING THAT I HAVE FRONT, SIDES, BACK AND ON TOP OF THE CABIN, CAMERAS, THEY ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL, BESIDES THE CAMERA IN THE TAILGATE. THIS IS JUST A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.

THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 TO THE POINT IT WILL SHAKE THE WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I CROSSED ON COMING TRAFFIC LANE AND SLOWED ON THE OPPOSITE SHOULDER BEFORE DEATH WOBBLE WENT AWAY. FORD OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AT 20K MILES. THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BAND AID, NOT A REPAIR. I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE DRIVE THIS TRUCK WHICH IS SAD BECAUSE IT IS BRAND NEW AND COST $75K. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FORD ASAP!!!

EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT. IT WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH TO SEND ME INTO THE LEFT LANE.THIS TRUCK IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 5500 MILES ON IT. SPEED WAS 65 MILES AN HOUR AND HAD TO QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO AVOID GOING INTO THE MEDIAN.
