Three problems related to steering tie rod assembly have been reported for the 2015 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving over 60mph and hit a bump the truck goes into a violent front end wobble causing the whole truck to vibrate. It continues until the truck is slowed to approximately 30mph . It has happened many times. , I took it to the Ford dealership they tell me I need to replace tie rod,drag line and bar, track bar and steering shock. The truck only has 38,608 miles.
The first time it occurred the truck was five years old I was driving on an interstate highway at highway speed, passed over an expansion joint of a bridge, entire truck began to shake uncontrollably, I thought a had blown a tire, but as I slowed to pull to the side of the road, the truck "smoothed out" and I was able to continue on my way. However it happened again two more times that trip, each at highway speed (55-75) and would be "triggered" by small bumps in the road. I took it to a local garage they rotated the tires, did a front end alignment and replaced the steering dampener. Problem continued to reoccur. Has been back to a different garage 4 additional times: tie rod, drag link, track bar joints/bushings, shocks, all have been replaced, however while at highway speeds small bumps in the road continue to induce uncontrollable front end shaking. So far I have paid just under $2500, the problem continues and my mechanic is unsure what is left to try to correct the problem. Online search reveals this to be the "Ford death wobble".
The steering on my 2015 Ford f250 has a very serious wobble. It occurs at highway speeds (55-70 mph), it is a very violent shaking that almost caused me to lose control of my truck. I have replaced the steering damper, shocks and steering arm ball joint. I am in the process of replacing all tie rod ends now as I am afraid to drive it over 50 mph.
