Three problems related to front suspension stabilizer bar have been reported for the 2017 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2020

Severe cases of the death wobble. Hit the slightest bump in the road going over 50 and the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably until you slow down to 10-20 mph. I have almost been in 3 wrecks now on the interstate from this issue. Ford told me the steering stabilizer bar is or backorder until mid January. I have a 60k truck I can't drive and not positive the steering dampner will even fix the issue.

2 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2019

Problem with the vehicle shaking violently on the highway sometimes at speed of 70mph. Dealer claimed it was my tires. I complained about the issue with 26k miles on truck and after the third complaint they changed stabilizer bar and bushings, but did not fix the issue. Date below is the most recent date (aka death wabble).

3 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2019

My truck has less than 16,000 miles. I have experienced �death wobble� on six (6) separate occasions between January 16 and March 18, 2019. All instances occurred at speeds between 60 and 70 mph. Five of the instances occurred on rough roads, state highways and interstate highways. One instance occurred as I went over an expansion joint on an interstate highway bridge. The �wobble� results in a very violent shaking of the entire front end of the truck and the steering wheel. It feels as if the driver loses complete control of any steering abilities until you are able to slow down to a speed of less than 50 mph. This truck was purchased nine months ago as a new vehicle from courtesy Ford in sauk city, WI. The dealer replace what they described as a stabilizer bar on its first attempt to fix the problem. It is now at courtesy Ford for a second time as they continue to try to fix this problem. I purchased this heavy duty truck in order to safely pull our fifth wheel camper and I no longer feel safe driving this truck.
