Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was traveling straight at 70 MPH on the highway. The uneven road surface caused the truck to begin to rapidly and harshly shake uncontrollably. I had to slow almost to a stop to allow the truck to stop shaking. I slowed down and switched lanes. A few miles ahead at 60 MPH the same problem occurred. This is not safe at all.”
NHTSA complaint #11366312, filed 2020-10, 15 miles“Upon reaching highway speeds(approximately 55-75mph) the front end began to violently shake. This issue started as mere off tracking of the front end, the truck would steer itself. This ended up progressing into such a violent shake that it drove itself off the road. I had no control over the vehicle, and steering control is gone. I wound up in a ditch on my fourth experience with this violent shake.”
NHTSA complaint #11288559, filed 2019-12, 16,900 miles“Over that past few weeks I've been experiencing intermitent shaking caused by bumps in the road. It happens above 50mph when hitting inconsistencies in the road. I did some research and it seems this is a known issue refered to as the death wobble . I havent experience full loss of control but I want this addressed asap. This vehicle is not safe to operate with this issue. Ford needs to fix this before people get killed.”
NHTSA complaint #11365149, filed 2020-10, 22,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11400381, filed 2021-03, 20,000 miles“Starting at 15,500 my truck started the so called death wobble Ford has been having trouble with. This is my second new truck in 2 years with it and the problem doesn't get fixed. When hitting the slightest bump my truck becomes unstearable due to violent shaking. Ford of uniontown has seen the video of my truck doing it, their service technicians have also experienced it and the only answer I get is be careful and one service tech said when he drove it he was afraid for the people next to him. I need a truck, I have a business, I need this resolved and not at my cost again. …”
