I was driving straight 55-60 miles per hour on a smooth highway when i hit a patch of light bumps / grooves. The steering wheel and truck started shaking violently and wouldn't stop until i slowed to 40 miles per hour. This happened twice in a 2 mile stretch. This is the 'death wobble' issue reported by thousands of ford owners and really needs to be addressed before someone loses control and gets killed.

Brand new truck with 3000 miles on it and the front end is very loose feeling. Lots of steering wheel shaking ( side to side movement) when hitting bumps. Dealer replaced the steering damper and it is slightly better for now. I am worried there is a bigger problem that is creating unwanted wear and tear on the critical steering linkage and it will need to be repaired often to keep it safe. Happens mostly at speeds…

My dealer said he had another truck with the same issue and it would take 2…

I experienced the ford "death wobble". Traveling in a straight line at 70mph pulling a large 5th wheel trailer i hit a small bump on the interstate and the front of the truck began shaking violently. I had to slow to 40 mph before it stopped. I thought the front end of the truck was going to come apart. As soon as i made it to my destination i made an appointment with the local ford dealer. They kept it for a day…

When traveling at speeds above 40mph when the vehicle hits grooves, expansion cracks, or just uneven roadways the front end starts to shake violently and becomes very hard to control. The only way to get the shaking to stop is by bringing the vehicle to speeds around 20mph. So far it has happened 4 times and one of the times took me off the road.

While driving at about 65 to 70 mph, their was a small bump in the highway that normally you would not even notice, made my new truck with only 7,000 miles start shaking and it felt like my wheels were going to fall off, i lost about all control of my vehicle, and had to slow down to about 15 mph on the i-15 highway to get it under control. I am sure if this persists that i or someone will be seriously injured or…

Shacking of steering wheel this is not an isolated incident with our trucks, it's a nationwide problem that is very very dangerous. In a 10 mile ride it would happen 3-4x at 70 to 75mph hitting the slightest bump, the truck would violently shake. I would have to slow down to 20 mph for it to stop. Very difficult on a highway! *bf

During speeds 50 mph or above the front of truck will shake violently losing control of steer and breaking. It only takes the edge of a cement transition between regular road and bridge or some basic rough spots to start the violent shaking. During speeds between 35 and 50 after driving over rough road front will shimmy and smoothout. I have had 3 near misses with other vehicles due to the extreme and violent…

At speeds greater than 45 mph, when hitting rough pavement or a joint in the roadway (such as a freeway overpass or bridge), the steering wheel wobbles (oscillates) violently back and forth. It cannot recover until speeds are reduced below 45 mph. This is repeatable. I have filmed an occurrence and posted on youtube for review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rupsa7kdsjo this video shows a typical occurrence.…

When driving 55 mph, i approached a bridge which was a slight elevation in roadway, i was pulling a horse trailer which was a goose neck. When i went over the change in elevation the truck's front end shook violently, the steering wheel shook so hard it was hard to hold onto, i slowed down the truck to 10 mph and the shaking went down. This was extremely scarey and dangerous, luckily no one was behind me on the…

Truck has 21750 miles on it and is experiencing the known symptom of ford super duty known as the "death wobble". As i was entering the ramp to the freeway, i hit a bump in the road and the vehicle started shaking violently causing me to almost lose control. I had to slow down and move to the shoulder and stop the vehicle to seize the shaking. Other vehicles were on the road and this causes a huge safety concern.

With no obvious cause, the front wheels / steering of the vehicle began shaking uncontrollably. I assumed there was some sort of major wheel damage or blowout of a tire and tried to pull over.

Called dealership and was told it would be 2-3 weeks before they would have parts and was also told to not expect the new…

Truck has a re-ococcuring death shake / wobble that happens when you hit bumps at highway speed (60 mph plus). Only way to regain control is to abruptly decelerate the vehicle to around 20 mph. Has now happened multiple times and it's getting woemaw. It's to a point where i no longer allow my wife and kids to be in the vehicle. These trucks should not be on the road as it's a known issue.

Front wheels/steering stabilizer bars. 2019 f-350 srw with 8' bed and 5400 miles on the truck. The front wheels started bouncing when hitting potholes. It was noticeable at lower speeds (less than 35mph) but it was significantly more defined at speeds of over 35-40mph. I did not think much of it until it occurred a couple of times while doing about 45mph and to a point where i almost lost control of the vehicle.…
