“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”
NHTSA complaint #11291563, filed 2019-12, 25,843 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317607, filed 2020-03, 9,000 miles“On several occasions, this vehicle with 19,000 miles on it, gets the death wobble . The front wheels, & steering wheel, start shaking violently, shaking the whole truck causing loss of control. The steering wheel shakes so violently that you loose grip of it. The truck can't be steered and only by slamming on the brakes to slow down can the violent shaking be stopped. It happens completely randomly. It happened to me at 75 MPH, 70 MPH, & at 55 MPH. I was almost rear-ended every time it happened because I have to slow down in my lane. …”
NHTSA complaint #11289821, filed 2019-12, 19,500 miles“While driving the speed limit on the freeway and hitting a rough patch, the truck's wheels then begin shaking, causing the whole truck to violently shake. There is a significant lost of control of the vehicle. The shaking won't subside to regain control until the speed drops below 50 MPH or lower. The vehicle has very limited response to turning when the shaking is happening. This seems to be similar to what I've heard described as a death wobble . This happens while driving straight and maintaining speed (I.e. Not turning or accelerating or decelerating). …”
NHTSA complaint #11308784, filed 2020-02, 36,700 miles“You did a recall for the tailgate opening because of moisture in a sensor but you still have not done a recall for the tailgate opening due to the key fob. You say all the damage that can be caused should the tailgate opening while pulling a trailer. If you have the key fob in your pocket it can bump the tailgate open button twice (just while walking) and open the tailgate. This needs to be able to be disabled. The damage possibility is identical. Please get this corrected. Should it come open in my yard while I am working and comes down on my granddaughters head it could be deadly. …”
