While driving down the highway at 75 I hit an uneven bump in the road and the vehicles front end started to vibrate and quickly became violent shaking of the trucks front end causing me to lose control of the vehicle and almost cause a major multicar accident on the interstate. I ended up almost hitting the guard rail on the side of the road but everyone was ok. I thought the whole front end came apart and had to get out of the vehicle on the side of the interstate to inspect the front and upon doing so almost got hit by a passing vehicle. After researching this problem I found thousands and thousands of complaints on f-250s for this same issue. It is unbelievable nothing has been done to remedy this problem when it seems it has been a known problem for many years. …
December 24th at approximately 1100 hr. Driving normally on the Garden State Parkway Southbound approaching exit 98. The vehicle instantaneously began to shake out of control.

I did a pulmonary check under the vehicle any everything looked in order. I followed up with a local Mechanic who informed me that this was a common issue with these vehicles that was called the "Ford Death Wobble" and suggested that i take it to a specialist who deals with the suspension. I followed up with R&H Spring and Truck repair, 4806 W Hurley Pond Rd, Wall Township, NJ 07719. R&H is familiar with the issue and the Vehicle is currently scheduled to be diagnosed. …
UNKNOWN! This is the 2nd Ford F250 that I've purchased brand new. I had no clue what the issue was until visiting with fellow Ford F250 owners. Low and behold, the "Ford Death Wobble". I don't understand WHY there has NOT been a recall on this before now. After researching, I've learned there was even a class action lawsuit filed against Ford in 2019! What on earth is wrong with FORD?! I love my truck, but not enough to continue buying a Ford product knowing this is an issue that they don't want to fix!!! I'm so glad I was informed by friends with the same issues and know it's not just "an alignment" issue! Shame on you Ford for refusing to address or acknowledge this issue!!!!! …
I own a 2014 Ford F250 Crew Cab 4X4. I have had the "Death Wobble" happen 3 times in the past 4 months. Each time happened while I was driving over 50 MPH on the highway. It feels like the truck is going to fall apart. When it happens I have to slow the truck down to almost a stop to get the wobbling stop. Having to quickly slow down on a highway that is 80 MPH is not only dangerous to myself and my passengers, but to everyone else on the road. There is no warning that it is going to happen, the truck just starts violently shaking. I have not had anyone look at the truck. I rodeo and haul my horse all over Texas with this truck. I am scared to death it will happen while I am pulling my horse trailer. I have no idea what to expect when/if that does happen. How will my trailer respond to the violent shaking? How will my horse respond? …
