2016 Ford F-250 Sd

On a highway, 65-70 mph, drove over a rough patch of road and truck front end began to shake violently(death wobble). Happened three times on same day, same trip. On all occasions we were very lucky to be able to stop or slow down without being involved in an accident. I spent $5000 this past summer that was suppose to have fixed the problem.

I was traveling on the interstate at the posted speed limit of 70 mph. I was crossing an overpass and upon exiting the overpass my vehicle began what is often referred to as ‘death wobble’. My front suspension began shaking so violently that I temporarily lost control of the vehicle and had to reduce my speed dramatically in the travel lane to regain control before I was able to steer into the emergency lane. Had I been hauling or towing a load I am sure this would have resulted in a wreck. Since this happened, I have read that Ford has refused to conduct a recall on this issue. I urge the NHTSA enter this situation and require Ford to address the issue.

My 2016 F-250 continues to experience the Ford Truck "death wobble." It sometimes happens after I have travelled on an interstate entrance and am increasing speed up to normal highway speed (or similar situation). The front end begins to terribly "shake" and I can only stop it by drastically braking to a much slower speed or even coming to a stop. Usually, there is no obvious reason for this wobble to occur although a rough interstate entrance rough surface may increase the probability of it occurring. I have been able to handle it thus far, but I do worry about being in a traffic lane and having limited options to resolve the issue quickly.

At highway speed on Interstate-95, I hit a rough patch of asphalt paving and front end of vehicle began to shake uncontrollably. Vehicle continued to shake violently until speed was significantly reduced below the flow of traffic thus creating an extremely dangerous situation. All 4 shocks and steering stabilizer were replace with upgraded Bilstein brand products bya Ford master mechanic within the last 6 months.

While driving on Route 64 in Virginia in May 2022, the vehicle sustained severe steering wheel oscillations after hitting rough pavement, driving around 65 miles per hour. It was difficult to hold on to the steering wheel. The oscillations lasted roughly 60 seconds. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the occurrence. This occurrence happened again while driving on Route 50 eastbound to Annapolis on Saturday October 1, 2022 around 65 miles per hour. After hitting rough pavement, the vehicle sustained severe steering wheel oscillations. The oscillations last roughly 60 seconds. In both occurrence, it was difficult to hold onto the steering wheel. We were concerned that the ability for the truck to break would be impacted.

Death wobble occurred this morning for the first time ever. It was terrifying for me and my children. I had to slam on the brakes so hard that I nearly slid off the road! The fact that Ford doesn’t acknowledge this is ridiculous. I hope and pray that this does not occur with my children in the vehicle, or while I’m hauling my horses.

violent shaking from front end at moderate highway speed experienced when bumps road or when driving on groved surfaces. problem confirmed by ford mechanic and repaired at my expense. Approximately one year later same violent shake. same ford dealer replaced parts originally repaired by them. from time to time a less severe shake has been noted. Have repair invoices. concerned this problem will result one day in loss of vehicle control.
