While driving at freeway speeds (typically above 50mph) the vehicle will have extended steering oscillation (violent shaking of the steering wheel) after going over normal expansion joints in the roadway and other roadway bumps. It is impossible to control the vehicle steering when oscillations start. Sometimes the only thing that stops the oscillations is slowing, and leaving the freeway. No warning messages or lamps appear. When brought to dealership for repair, was told to contact manufacturer customer service.

Driving and suddenly the entire vehicle will start to shake until slow or near complete stop. I think it’s called a death wobble

Motor gaskets leak oils and cracked and the other one is that when driving the truck it begins to shake aggressively and dangerously to where you can lose control

Was driving on the highway when my truck started shaking violently, had to pull over and check what was wrong, but no did not see anything wrong. Took it to the Ford dealership near me. Was told the tires were my problem had them replaced but the shaking continues. Ford does not have an explanation for me. What are my options?

I was driving down a city street and my 2009 f250 started to violently shake and I could barely control the steering wheel, it was like I had blown all 4 tires or the suspension had fallen apart. I was talking to my sister on the car speaker when it happened and she could even hear the shaking and started yelling to make sure I had not wrecked my vehicle. I pulled over in a parking lot and everything looked fine, all tires in tact, suspension still on the vehicle. This has happened 3 more times while driving on a city street and also once on a packed interstate. I called a ford dealer and they acknowledged this was known as the "death wobble" but would need to charge me $120 to diagnose the issue. This is not only scary but also very dangerous and could cause injury or even death. I checked google and see lawsuits and ford acknowledge the issue but no recalls and I would have to pay the repairs and save my receipts! Ford needs to fix this! That is too big of a vehicle to have this kind of known issue and no recall to repair!

When driving speed between 35 and 40 MPH, the steering starts wobbling back and forth. Have to slow down and pull over. Road is a 4 lane straight street. Has happened twice. Truck as 43,000 miles. Taking to a mechanic today for assistance in diagnoses. Looked up on the internet and this seems to be a common issue with this model. Having the stabilizers checked.
