Example complaints

“While driving, I experience a severe and horrifying 'death wobble' in my steering wheel, at which time the entire front end of my truck violently shakes. It becomes difficult to control it and forces me to apply my brakes in order to regain control. This has been happening for about 8 months and happens often. It happens at various speeds. Nobody appears to know how to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #11386266, filed 2021-01, 130,000 miles“My 2014 f250 has since around 80k miles had an uncontrollable wobble when at low highway speeds hitting even the smallest bump in the road. After multiple alignments and tire changes my dealer admitted that its known as death wobble and I need to do thousands of dollars in repairs that are very common. I am at 140k now and they finally admited that its a systemic problem”
NHTSA complaint #11376318, filed 2020-11, 80,000 miles“While driving at highway speeds, my truck experiences the death wobble. If I hit a bump when traveling above 60 MPH the front wheels wobble like a shopping cart and the front end shakes violently. The steering wheel shakes in my hands. These conditions continue until the vehicle is slowed down to 35-40 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #11352215, filed 2020-08, 74,800 miles“Death wobble, safety issues, lost braking and limited steering at 65 MPH.. So far Ford dealer in freeport il. Told me the only thing I can do is trade it in. Ford would not offer any fix for the problem. Truck has had no modification or any changes in configuration. So far I have changed two sets of brakes, two sets of tires and over 2k in steering links and rod along with steering stabilizer.”
NHTSA complaint #11183619, filed 2019-03, 70,000 miles“My Ford truck typically experiences the death wobble when traveling more than 50 MPH and at least one of the tires hits a groove or bump in the road. The only way I know to control the violent shaking is by quickly reducing speed, which is very dangerous in traffic”
