I am experiencing the "death wobble". it started about a year ago when I would get minor shaking in the steering after hitting a bump at high speed. The truck would shake bad for a short period and then slowing down it would stop. I took it in and they could not find anything wrong with it. Then it got worse, the shaking became more violent and more frequent. I took it in again and they still could not find anything wrong with it. Now it has gotten to the point that I am really afraid of it. The other day I was on the interstate, in construction with barrier rails and no shoulder and it started. I could not get it to stop. I got down to around 20 mph and it was still shaking and I could not pull over. Finally, speeding up got it to stop. I began to extensively research the problem and found that it is quite common and no specific repair to stop it. I am going to a tire shop today and demand that several repairs are made in hopes that one of them fixes the problem. I have been told that replacing the track bar, steering stabilizer, front brakes, tires, and having it aligned with a greater caster can fix it.

I'm a small business owner in tulsa, ok and I was wondering if your Agency has received complaints regarding the 2019 Ford trucks with the front end issue called the 'death wobble'? this has occurred multiple times this year and we take it directly to the dealership when it occurs. The last time the truck was in the dealership for two weeks. Fowler Ford called and said out truck was finally ready for pickup. We immediately went and picked it up, and within 50-60 miles the death wobble occurred and blew out the front driver side tire nearly causing us to hit a guard rail with a huge embankment. When the truck tire blew out it tore out the wiring harness, damaged the fender, the door causing over $10K in damage. Please google 'death wobble'. it is all over the internet and I'm surprised Ford has not done a recall. My insurance is going to pay for the damages to the truck. We still won't have a work truck because Ford does not have a fix fix for it. Our driver came within a inch or two from hitting a guard rail and going down a huge embankment. Thank you for your time.

I was driving at 65 miles per hour and hit a bump, the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably and I had no control of the vehicle till I slowed down to about 40 milers per hour and the shaking went away. The same event happened two times. I had it fixed, and the problem still happened. I was pulling a horse trailer with three horses in it the first time it happened.

My 2019 F350 has a death wobble which is uncontrollable. Durning the past 2 weeks has made us almost crash. Fit leaves the truck uncontrollable which almost hit two tractor trailers and caused a major traffic accident when the death wobble started with a small bump in the road. We were in the left lane when it started we went all the way to the right without any notice with the entire truck shaking out of control.we bright it to the dealership which stated there's a recall blamed the tires and alignment. The recall is back ordered and not available. They refunded us a suitable rental car. When I complained and asked if I should bring my truck to a different dealership he asked me when will I be picking up my truck. My truck is under factory warranty

On Sept 4,2020 with mileage at 20980 and again on Sept 3, 2020 at 21560 at around 65 to 70 mph the front end wobbled for 6 to 8 seconds in a uncontrolled manor. This made control very difficult and dangerous. I checked the air pressure which was at the recommend level. Both times I was traveling on well maintained state hwy. I find this unacceptable and highly dangerous. This was on a straight road.

When driving at highway speed pulling a trailer experiencing violent front end vibration and wobble, this caused us to run off the road into the shoulder nearly causing ya to flip over into the medium. The tires are properly inflated and checked daily. This violent shaking and wobble happens almost daily in a truck purchased as new. This violent shaking started at around 7000 miles and has continued. The vehicle is currently in Ford dealership service at fowlerville Ford in Michigan to have this issues and other looked at. This is an extremely dangerous problem.

This vehicle violently shakes after hitting a grooved surface or a small bump in the road. The shaking takes a great deal of power to bring the vehicle back under control.

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. Note: The truck has never been off-road or driven recklessly. I recently turned it in to Ford where they confirmed that there have been many other instances reported with the same model/year truck. Technician stated it is becoming a common complaint and related to a faulty front wheel stabilizer bars. Ford is currently replacing the stabilizer bars on my truck. Hence I felt obligated to report this issue in hopes to avoid someone possibly getting into a severe accident due to this faulty stabilizer bars.

After hitting bridge expansion join at approx 60 mph T in New Hampshire I expierenced a speed wooble so severe I had to stop at night on the highway which is extremely dangerous, the wobble was so severe I was unable to turn or get off highway. This has occured three times in the last month but the last wobble was very severe. This is a brand new 2019 F-350 with less than 12,000 miles. This has ocured frequently since I purchased the truck but was not very severe, my concern is if my child was driving this truck likely would have been a severe accident or rollover. After getting online it appears this is a large problem with the superduties wondering why no recall?

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!

  • 15,000 miles
On Dec 2, 2019 I was driving my 2019 Ford F-350 (with 15,000mi) on insterstate 505 at approximately 65-70mph while overtaking a tractor-trailer. 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. The vehicle was very hard to steer and I did not have adequate speed to get safely past the semi, so I slowed down in the fast lane and pulled to the right behind the semi. Once stopped I inspected the vehicle and was surprised to find no obvious damage. I resumed driving without any apparent issue. About 45mi further down the road the exact same issue happened again at 65mph. This time there were no vehicles nearby on the highway so I slowed below 30mph and the vibration stopped. I accelerated back to 65mph without the vibration issue and continued my trip home. The intensity of these vibrations is very extreme and the vehicle is almost uncontrollable when they are happenening. There is no way to avoid or anticipate that they will happen, and the only remedy is to slow or stop the vehicle immediately, which is extremely dangerous to do in a freeway environment when the steering is barely working. My vehicle is using original, unmodified stock tires, wheels, and suspension components and is ovf relatively low mileage (15,000mi).
