general problems of the 2015 Ford F-250 - part 2

On four seperate occasions while driving at approximately 65 mph, (twice in a turn and twice on a straight section), and after hitting some bumps in the road, the front end started shaking and then quickly went into violent shaking. Each time I had to slow down to a stop. Each time I was concerned that I was going to crash. The most recent date (and the most violent shaking) is listed below.

On 03/19/2022 at about noon I was driving my F-250 eastbound on sr 60 (courtney campbell cswy) headed to tampa, FL. This was a Saturday & the area was very congested. The speed limit is 60 mph. I was traveling about 50 to 55 mph. Suddenly the truck started to vibrate at a rate that it actually bounced or jumped on the road. It was everything I could do to maintain control & get the vehicle slowed down & off the highway. I thought I had a wheel(s) coming off the vehicle. I inspected the tires/wheels/overall vehicle before getting back on the road & returning home. On Monday 03/21/2022 I contacted ferman Ford in clearwater, FL to get it in for service to determine what is the problem. Ferman Ford could not get to my truck until 03/29/2022. I then went on-line to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. I found a number of articles that spoke to the F-250 & f-350 having a problem called the "death wobble". What was described in these articles is exactly what I experienced. It was so violent that my wife (who was with me when this occurred) is now not comfortable with riding in my truck. Needing the use of my truck & not able to replace it I authorized the repairs & am now stuck with a $2433. 64 bill that Ford will not accept as there problem. . . Defect. I am very disappointed in corporate Ford for not doing a recall & resolving this on going problem that has possible life & injury impacts.

Death wobble. I experienced the death wobble for the first time a few days ago on a road that I drive twice a day. This road has bumps in the road when you are heading west, but I was heading east and have never experienced any kind of steering issue when traveling that direction. The truck started shaking as the front springs and shock absorbers were fighting against each other. The steering wheel was uncontrollable. The only way to stop the wobble was to slow down to a near stop. Ford needs to issue a recall on this issue, as it is a safety hazard to the driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road.

On more than one occasion I experienced a violent shaking while driving on highway speeds. The incident happened out of no where. I had my child in the backseat so I tried to slow down quickly not sure if made it worse but the shaking / wobbling didn’t stop till came to a complete stop. I was in fear of our safety so I got of the highway pulled aside and checked my superduty for suspension or steering issues. Everything thing looked normal so I decided to get back on the road. Truck seemed fine again. Didn’t think much of it till it happened again, same deal very scary. I did do a bit of research online and found out that this was a common problem with Ford super duty models. This is 2022 why hasn’t this been addressed? do people have to die before Ford is held accountable? this is my work truck mon-fri and my family truck the rest of the time. I will get this repaired at my expense in order to keep my family safe. Please do something about this. Make Ford responsible for selling trucks that are dangerous to drive.

This vehicle, in March 2021, experienced what's known as the "death wobble". It occurs after hitting seams in the road at highway speeds (65 mph+). It causes violent shaking of the front end until the vehicle slows down (usually under ~ 55mph). All recommended service was done to the vehicle prior to the experience. The recommended remedy was performed (replaced steering damper and stabilizer bar). Effective March 1, 2022 and approximately 2000 miles later, the wobble has returned. The vehicle is currently at the dealership (where purchased and all maintenance done).

I’ve been experiencing the death wobble, which is a violent shaking that happens to the front end of my Ford f250 super duty trucks. It typically occurs at speeds over 50 miles per hour. It also happens after going over bumps or grooves in the road. To stop the shaking, I must quickly slow way down or even stop completely. It’s terrifying, especially when I’m driving with my 2 children in the truck.

A common, but irregular violent shaking of the steering after I go over a bump in the road of come off an overpass. Sometimes it happens once in a week, sometimes it will happen 2 times in 2 miles. The problem doesn't occur under 45 mph. It is so dangerous that I don't want anyone driving my truck except me, in case this happens again. Very scary. Very dangerous.

While driving down the highway at 70mph a small bump on the road made my truck start wobbling uncontrollably. I lost control for a few seconds and the wobbling stopped only until I came to a full stop. This happened on a busy highway in dallas.

I was traveling down hwy 75 north at 70to 75 mph when I hit a series of bumps in succession and it sent the truck into a highspeed wobble which would not stop. I changed lanes thinking it was the road but it continued making steering difficult. I slowed down rapidly and moved off the road in traffic to a stop finally on the shoulder. Everything checked out and I proceeded on my way. This was very abnormal it was a excessively violent shake that did not stop until I stopped.

Death wobble. This has happened several times now. I was driving down the highway, hit a bump, and the truck started to violently shake. I had to reduce speed to 30 mph before 8 could get it back under control and the shaking to stop. My service center replaced the tie rods, stabilizer bar, shocks and struts. None of this has resolved the issue. And it seems random as to when it happens. I can hit all kinds of potholes and bumps in the road and nothing happens. But when it does happen, you lose complete control of the vehicle.

On numerous occasions while driving my vehicle I have experienced uncontrollable shaking. I recently took my vehicle to capital Ford (803-366-3181) to have it diagnose and was told that I'm and experiencing the death wobble and was told that the repair cost would be a total of $761. 99 along with the diagnostic few of $150. 00.

Death wobble. I hit a bump in the road and the truck shook so hard it pulled me off the road and into the grass.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the steering wheel began to shake forcefully. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road for a few seconds and continued to drive to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering damper to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 20e090000 (steering, suspension, equipment) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,500.

When I am driving about 60 ish miles per hour and I hit a bump or like a small pot hole my truck's steering starts to shake and the entire frontend shakes so badly that I cannot control the truck until I can get it stopped. It does not do it all the time it happens all of a sudden. I have put new tires on the truck, new front end parts, had it aligned and it just keeps happening. It has been going on since the truck had 110,000 miles just out of my warranty but the Ford dealer just kept telling me it was the tires. This morning it was the worst that it ever have been.

I was driving on i275 in cincinnati, OH. During morning rush hour. Traffic was very heavy and there were many cars close behind me. My speed was probably 70 mph. The highway took a turn to the left as I approached a bridge transition. Upon hitting the transition, the steering wheel was literally torn out of my hands and the vibration made me wonder if the front suspension had broken the vibration was so severe. I immediately responded with heavy braking and to this day, I can't imagine how countless cars didn't run into me from behind. I finally was able to regain control of the truck when my speed dropped below 30 mph and I pulled off the road into the center median at which point several cars following me displayed the middle finger salute as they passed by. I can't blame them. Thankfully, the event did not lead to a multi car chain reaction accident. This truck with these issues is a death trap. At the time of the incident, the truck had 17,500 miles on it.

While driving on the freeway the truck just started violently shaking uncontrollably. The only way to stop it was to reduce the speed and to try and exit the freeway safely. The 1st time this happened was in may 2021 and since than it has happened about a dozen times. I have been replacing parts left and right trying to fix the issue, but each time we replace what we think is causing the problem it happens again. While driving to PA for work this weekend (July 22nd-july25th, 2021) it happened 3 separate times, it's very unsafe and scary as hell, when it happens. So we googled "f250's shaking violently" and was amazed at what popped up. The "Ford death wobble", that describes what happened to us to a t. I can't believe Ford hasn't issued a recall for this, knowing all the facts. If possible when we replace parts on our car, it's with Ford dealer ship replacement parts.

Normal driving on freeway the front of truck begins to bounce/shake vigorously like it is losing contact with the road. The only solution is to apply brakes and move vehicle to safe place to stop. This is happened several times now we have had the steering damper replaced twice and it is still happening.

Ford f250 death wobble: hello, I have a 2015 for f250 VIN# 1ft7w2bt8feb61336, upon reaching speeds of 60 to 80mph the vehicle uncontrollably starts shaking and wobbling. I have contacted Ford and they have not offered to check the vehicle for any defects. Please help. Thank you.

I have been experiencing what people refer to as the death wobble. Truck starts to violently shake. This happened a few months prior then went away. Now it is not stopping.

The "death wobble" has happened at least 6 times over the last 6 months. Front end violent shakes after hitting bump above 60 mph.

While driving my 2015 f250 the front end began to shimmy and shake violently at 50 mph. Truck was wobbling all over and to begin quick deceleration and slight braking. Once truck dropped to about 20 mph the symptoms stopped. Looked over truck and saw no obvious issues . I drove slowly to repair shop and they checked over front end and stated would need traction rod, stabilizer and ball joints as this is known issues on 2005-2019 super duty vehicles. Ford dealer said they were unaware of any recall or issues but could check it out. If the other garage was corrected it would around $800 to 900 to repair. As I left and made right turn it again shimmied badly and I return to dealer. They suggested leaving truck and they could get to it in a few days. I feel this unacceptable from Ford for a obvious safety issue. Has the NHTSA been aware of this issue and is a recall to protect the consumer large investment in order? these trucks are not cheap and Ford touts teh moto, built Ford tough> please research and advise if there is a recourse for the consumers that are experiencing these safety issues. You can contact me doctor. Appliance@gmail. Com. Thanks for allowing me to express my concern for myself and others on the road that possibly receive life threatening injuries. Best and hope to here from you mike young branson mo. VIN: 1ft7w2n63fec46269.

This is the second 2015 Ford F-250 we have driven with the death wobble. The first one was a test drive before we purchased the one we have. We were driving it on the interstate and hit a bump and it started shaking profusely and was very scary. I could see this causing a very bad accident. We figured this one had something severely wrong with it and wasn't in the best condition. It has 60k on it. The we have now has 150k on it and about 5k ago it did the same thing. We took it in for repairs and they replaced the components in the steering that seemed to be of issue. The issue is better but still has a bad shake in the front end when hitting a bump. This seems to be very common with these trucks up to model year 2019. Ford should issue a recall and fix the problem with these trucks.

When going 70 mph on the highway you hit a bump and the truck goes into a death wobble. Apparently is a common problem with Ford super duty trucks. My truck only has 65000 miles on it. Took to a mechanic and said that he sees it all the time and it costs about $1500. 00 to fix. My brothers newer truck which is identical except for year model has a recall for this issue.

Twice now in the last two weeks I have struck a bump in the road at 60 mph that caused the steering to shake so violently I had to pull over to stop it this also happened recently at 70 mph in a similar situation on interstate highway causing me to have to pull off the road in desperation to gain control.

The vehicle front end begins to shake violently, sometimes with a bump in the road, or when I apply the brakes. The problem seems to be getting worse. Very noticeable at highway speeds. Mileage around 130,000, tires showed wear outside edge, new tires from the dealer had to be re-balanced around 50,000 after I bought them, way out of balance. The shaking moves the steering wheel so much so that I could easily loose control if I was not paying attention, very dangerous.

Ford death wobble 2015 f250 has 80200 miles, I ran over a bridge expansion joint on I-40 road was a straight section in TN my speed of 74 miles per hour, (cruise control) after driving 11 hrs and only 50 miles from home. I hit the typical highway bump and the front of the truck took off violently shaking left and right bouncing up and down all at the same time! jumping brakes steering for the road shoulder wasn't sure the steering was even working I almost caused an accident slowed down from 74 to 50 front wheels and steering returned to normal truck isn't safe for travel.

The vehicle will start to shake violently when traveling at speeds of 30-50 miles an hour if the road is not smooth. It does not happen all the time. Ford replaced the steering damper but that did not resolve the issue. They are now saying that it may be the traction bar. This is a safety issue as the front end shakes so violently that it almost cause loss of control. This should not happen with a vehicle that only has 107000 miles.

When at a speed of 45plus when a bump is hit or if raining and a water puddle truck wobbles out of control.

Going down the road and started experiencing the death wobble. Could barely hold on to the steering wheel and felt like a tire was gonna come off.

I was driving my truck on 6 lane highway at highway speeds, 65-75mph. When I hit a bump in the road the entire vehicle began to shake violently. The truck was hard to control and the steering and braking of the vehicle were greatly impaired and the shaking didn't stop until I decreased the speed by at least 15-20mph. This has happened several times when either one tire hits a pothole in the road or both tires hit an uneven bridge on the highway.

This truck has what is known as in the internet as death wobble, I got the vehicle recently from a dealer with no info on the manner. The truck loses control briefly when over 60 miles per hour when the front tires drive through small holes or bumps on the road, more common on the highway. Has happened multiple times, tbis specific incident happened on the highway over 60 miles per hour, lost control briefly, had to significantly slow down to regain control.
