Hit bump on highway and vehicle starts shaking out of control. This has happened over 5 times now. Ford would only replace steering dampener. It did it again after being in shop for 3 days. This is very dangerous and can only stop the shaking by slowing to a stop in the middle of the road as it is almost impossible to steer. From researching online, this is an ongoing problem referred to as the "death wobble". Ford refuses to look further into the suspension and steering components and claims everything is fine and it was the tire air pressure. The air pressure was to specs. And still did it.
2018 Ford F-250 SD steering complaints
Page 10 of 10: complaints 251 to 253 of 253, newest first, as owners wrote them.
With less than a 1,000 miles on my 2018 f-250 the truck showed signs of "death wobble" and has become worse over the past 5,000 miles. The early signs have turned into full "death wobble" now and are getting worse. The truck is becoming increasingly difficult to control after hitting bumps in the road, typically crossing bridges.
Was going around 80 MPH on the interstate this morning and came upon a bridge approach and when I hit the bridge approach I got the 'death wobble'. This happened as I was passing someone the only thing I could do is squeeze tight and slow down to pull over. The wobble would not stop until I was completely stopped. I currently have 10,959 miles on this truck. Same thing happened at this same bridge approach in my 2013 f350.
