I first had a death wobble at 9000 miles. I was unsure of what happened, thought I hit something or blew a tire at 60 MPH. After the first time it didn't happen for another year. At 15000 miles it became more and more recurring and I started asking around and heard of the death wobble. It happens when you are driving at speeds of greater than 50 MPH and is such a violent shake it may put you into another lane. You can not drive through it and must slow down to under 25 MPH. The last time I had to hit my breaks on a freeway with a semi behind me going 70 MPH and nearly was rear ended or causing a huge crash. I was terrified to drive it and fortunate enough to have a company vehicle to use as my daily commuter. I contacted my dealer and they heard of it and scheduled and ordered parts for the repair. I since have had it repaired on a brand new truck with 16000 miles. They informed me this should fix it by replacing the stabilizer. Really? How did it wear out so quickly, I feel this is a bigger problem and this is only a simple fix to the situation to get me another 10000 miles. Dont hit any rough bumps or it will happen to you was my worry and being rear ended or thrown into oncoming traffic.

I noticed the steering was getting sloppy at about 35,000 miles when driving at highway speeds on uneven road surfaces and going over bridge joints. Two nights ago I was driving at 57mph when I came off a bridge and the truck began to shake violently causing me to slow down quickly and pull to the road shoulder to avoid being rear ended. At about 30mph the shaking subsided. Researching the issue on line has LED me to believe I have a truck inflicted with 'death wobble'. It will be going to the dealership tomorrow.
I was traveling down the highway in a straight smooth lane and out of know where the truck started shaking violently this was a scary experience I slowed down as quickly as I could to try to stop it but it took a bit to stop shaking I purchased this truck new and have not had any accidents anything like that
When driving down the highway the truck will start to shake otherwise know as the death wobble. This has happened 4 times. Took it into the dealer and they told me I need new tires and need a new steering damper per tsb-19-2392. They said it would be 400.00 for the part. My ruck is under warranty and I purchased the ford protection plan. This is not safe for us to drive. It shakes uncontrollable at freeway speeds
This is not an isolated incident with our trucks, it's a nationwide problem that is very very dangerous. In a 10 mile ride it would happen 3-4x at 70 to 75mph hitting the slightest bump, the truck would violently shake. I would have to slow down to 20 MPH for it to stop. Very difficult on a highway.*dt
Truck shakes uncontrollably in a 10 mile ride it would happen 3-4x at 70 to 75mph hitting the slightest bump, the truck would violently shake. I would have to slow down to 20 MPH for it to stop. Very difficult on a highway. Very unsafe. I have a video to submit it is very hard to show shaking off a truck in pictures. *bf please see attached video. I have filed 6 complaints for 6 different trucks.
Speeds greater than 70 MPH and hitting small bump causes truck front tires/drive suspension to shake uncontrollably. Also known as a death wobble.
Death wobble!!! I have 15,600 miles on my vehicle and I can't not drive it down the road due to the death wobble. This has happened at speeds between 50 and 80 MPH and has nearly sent me into the ditch and other other vehicles
My truck has the death wobble.. Started at 15k miles. Front sterring dampener has been replaced 2 times already and getting the 3rd one done today..truck now has 36k miles and am getting scared to drive her.. Small bumps in the road cause the truck to shake violently until I get to a complete stop...very dangerous when on the highway...also believe that this problem has caused issues with my tires as well as other suspension issues
Four valve stems have been replaced for corrosion and leaking in the last 2 months on 3 of my 6 wheels. Tends to happen over night. Tire is fine when parked then next day little to no air in tire.
I own a 2018 f 350 dual rear wheel pickup. I have had leaking tires/rims for several months now. My own research has shown this to be a continuing problem and have had the truck to the dealer several times without resolution. Two of the tires still leak a lot and 2 of the tires leak slower. The inner two rear wheels do not leak likely because they are steel rims, and not the aluminum ones connected to a steel TPMS sensor that causes corrosion.
Death wobble on freeway going about 75mph, went over a small bump when going over an overpass and it was shaking so hard I almost crashed with my two children in the truck and I had to pull off the road and completely stop before I could get it to stop , truck has less than 18,000 miles on it. Took it in to ford and they show the caster being out of alignment. Just had it aligned at a different ford dealership a few weeks ago. Now I'm being told I have to pay to replace some sort of bolts and it'll take about 2.5 hours to replace, which means a few hundred dollars?!
Driver experiences wobbling or shaking in the vehicle at highway speeds (>45 MPH). It stops at lower speeds. The symptoms are consistent with ford's tsb 18-2268.
Recurring valve stem leaks causing low air pressure while vehicle stationary and moving. Ford does not have a fix.
Aluminum wheel valve stem leaking - tire loosing approximately 10 psi per day. Tpms alarm notified me of a problem on highway when pressure reached 50 psig (spec =65) but identified the wrong tire because the sensors are incorrectly mapped. Apparently a this is a common failure on the 2017 and newer ford f350 drw trucks as indicated here and in other online forums: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1495539-2017-drw-recurring-valve-stem-leaks.html based on this I am expecting leaks in the other three aluminum wheels soon. The inner steel wheels apparently do not get the same problem. The frequency of this defect detracts from the effectiveness of TPMS because it's always in alarm.
