2019 Ford F-250 SD brakes problems

Filed Nov 2, 2026 · Brakes, Engine · AR

My 2019 Ford F-250 diesel truck stopped running and had to be towed. The high-pressure fuel pump failed and sent contamination through the entire fuel system. The dealership first replaced the fuel injectors, then later said the whole fuel system had to be replaced. Ford and the dealership blamed fuel contamination and refused to cover it under warranty, so I paid for the repairs myself. This fuel pump problem made the truck shut off without warning, which is a safety danger. Also, after the second repair, the dealership told me the brakes were not working properly. I have not driven the truck since. It was towed to another shop. In total, I paid $18,865.05 out of my own pocket for these fuel system repairs.

Ford Diesel 250 flat out stalled while driving on a very congested Highway. Full tank of Diesel. No warning. Complete stall at 65MPH, no brakes, no power steering, no lights. Was almost killed when the truck almost crashed into a bus. Happened (4) more times as we made our way back home. Internet search shows that Ford Motor Company is fully aware of this common failure of their fuel system. Federal regulators need to pressure Ford for a Recall before someone is killed

Third incident of violent shaking of steering wheel and entire truck while driving approximately 60-70 MPH. All three occurrences happened on the highway after going over relatively small bumps in the road, perhaps 2-3 bumps, one right after the other. I was driving the vehicle during 2 of those incidences. My wife was driving during the most recent one yesterday (3/11/2021) while I was in the passenger seat. She no longer wants to drive the truck and does not want me driving it either. I have also had a handful of situations where it will begin just slightly and I was able to immediately slow down and it would go away. However, if there are multiple bumps it seems to happen with almost 100% predictability. I am a prior federal agent and have been trained for tactical driving at various speeds. With that said, the shaking and loss of control experienced on a roughly $75k vehicle that is around a year old is not only ridiculous from a product stand point, but also, and more importantly, in terms of passenger safety. Our children were with us on 2 of these occasions. This is not a simple rattling, or shaking. I have never experienced this in any other vehicle I have driven and it is a violent wobbling of the entire truck, not just the steering wheel. This is not an exaggeration and is a significant problem and also a safety issue for other vehicles nearby. In one incident the driver of another vehicle to my left was glancing over at me as I slowed down during the violent shaking back and forth. The driver also had a very concerned look and expression of panic, undoubtedly wondering why a new truck would be wobbling uncontrollably at high speed down a freeway. Trucks in particular should be able to handle bumps in the road and are generally considered to be more rugged than other vehicles. The fact that the problem seizes after stopping the vehicle is also puzzling.

Issue is very prevalent on internet.all front suspension parts and rotors should be replace per mechanics that fix these issues. No crash yet but luck will run out.*dt

I was driving on the freeway at 75 MPH when I went over a bridge transition. The trucks steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably and I had to slow the truck down to 20 MPH in heavy traffic to get the shaking to stop. The trucks brakes seemed to not work at normal levels when slowing down, I had to let off the gas to get the truck to slow down. This is very unsafe. I could barely control the truck enough to change lanes to start getting over to the emergency lane. I am hesitant to drive my truck anymore if this death wobble is going to happen again.

The truck has a death wobble. When we are on the freeway or hit a bump, it shakes uncontrollably and wont stop until we pull over and make it to a complete stop.

After about three months of owning my brand new, 2019 f250 super duty, with considerably less than 10,000 miles on it, the death wobble began occurring at a speed of or higher than 60mph after a rough patch in the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer initially for the death wobble, where they then replaced the steering damper after deeming it faulty. About two months later, with just over 10,000 miles on the vehicle, the death wobble reappeared with more severity as well as the braking causing the vehicle to essentially shake and bounce. Again, I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they were not able to replicate the braking issue due to the cold weather and told me to keep track of how long after starting to drive the vehicle does the issue begin and that they will work on it when they can fix the other issue, so they also did not fix the steering issue with the death wobble. They deemed the steering damper faulty again, but were unable to repair due to a nationwide backorder on the parts. Well this vehicle is my daily driver that has had to be parked due to it being unsafe to drive. They sent me home with an unsafe vehicle due to a backorder. My safety is at risk every single time I drive at highway speeds so I had no choice but to park it and I now believe I have a lemon sitting in my driveway.

When driving at 50-55 MPH, vehicle has went into extremely violent, uncontrollable shaking multiple times after driving over small bumps in road (it happens intermittently, and with bumps you normally would not notice or adjust speed for in a small car). The vehicle cannot be steered or controlled when this occurs other than applying the brakes. Tthe brakes do not work or stop you as fast as they should when this happens (I am assuming due to all the shaking). Last time this occurred it caused me to veer into oncoming traffic lane and I narrowly avoided a head on collision. If the oncoming vehicle had not reacted to my truck moving in to their lane we would have collided. This vehicle is very unsafe to drive until this problem is fixed. Their has been no recall but ford has issued a tech bulletin about the issue. This problem is very dangerous and will result in lives lost (if it hasnt already). I am currently waiting for parts to fix this (ive already been waiting 10 days and ford has no clue when they will be in. I was told it might be as long as 60 days before parts come in (unless I use lemon laws to remedy it). How many 2019 f250s have been in head on collisions this year? Is there a statistical difference? How many times does this have to happen before something is done? I was told by the dealer that there are 2-3 other trucks ahead of mine waiting on the same part. The truck has been driven 7 months and only has 13,000 miles on it,

The truck just turned 15,000 miles and has experienced severe death wobble and the dealership has no parts to fix my truck to make it safe to drive. It has happened at least 5 times with my wife and 3 kids in the vehicle. The truck becomes almost uncontrollable and you can barely brake or steer when the situation happens you have to try to get off the road asap and hopefully not cause an accident because the truck needs to slow down to almost a complete stop the get the uncontrollable shaking to stop.. From what I read on the internet, there is no fix and this truck is going to get me in to an accident. I have come close to hitting a center divide. This is my daily driver and the condition is getting worse. I fear that a wreck is eminent. Hopefully it doesn't happen with my family in the vehicle. A fix is needed asap or ford needs to buyback these faulty vehicles.
