A Ford truck "death wobble" alleges F-250 and F-350 trucks have problems with the steering linkage and suspension systems. The proposed class action lawsuit includes current and former owners and lessees of 2005-2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks. However, the plaintiff says the Ford dealership denied the wobble problem and refused to repair the truck under warranty. The Ford truck death wobble lawsuit was filed in the U.S. district court for the southern district of California - william lessin, et al., V. Ford Motor Company.

I was driving approximately 56 miles per hour on a highway when I experienced a horrible wobble of the front end of the truck. I immediately stopped and took it to the nearest dealer who told me that they did not know what could have caused this. They replaced almost all components in the front end of the truck including the track bar, stabilizer, bearings, and all associated bushings. Several days later I was driving on a different road around 60 miles per hour and experienced the same issue.

My Ford F350 Super Duty 4WD has had the front end rebuilt 3 times for what is commonly called the "death wobble". driving at highway speeds of 60 to 75 mph on straight dry pavement the front end wheels will start an oscillating and up and down movement that is so violent that it is difficult to hold on to the steering wheel. The shaking of the vehicle is so pronounced that items fly out of door pockets, the console and cup holders. Vehicles behind me and next to me are forced to apply their brakes in an emergency response to a possible collision. This is a common problem over multiple year models and Ford is doing nothing to solve it. You can search the internet for "Ford death wobble" and view many videos taken of the problem.

2013 F350 front end violent shaking after running over a bump on highway going 60 mph, this made the truck lose all steering control. With applied braking the situation only got worse. The vehicle ended up on the center line creating a very dangerous situation with other vehicles around. We only gained control of the situation when the vehicle slowed to 45 mph. This situation occurred twice in one day.

While our truck on a normal highway with minor irregularities and some rough surfaces at a speed of 60 to 70 mph, the truck will start to oscillate to the point of inducing a violently steering wheel shimmy and an uncontrollable bounce of the front wheels. This has happened twice in the past 2-months when I have taken the truck on the highway. The truck is primarily driven in town, I am now scared to go on the road with the truck as the condition seems to be getting worse. I have to brake quickly and steer the truck to the side of the road to stop the oscillation. The shaking is has almost caused an accident both times with the vehicle being very difficult to control. Only after slowing to approximately 30 mph does the oscillation stop. Upon researching this problem, I am perplexed why Ford or the nthsa have not stepped forward to address this issue, someone will be hurt or killed if a solution is not found. We have taken the truck now to two different certified Ford dealerships after each incident each time we were told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and this sometimes happens with these trucks. This can't seriously be true? after doing research I've found that the "death wobble" as this problem has been termed by the masses is a serious problem and has been for many years not for the select few consumers but for so many.
