2013 Ford F-250 SUPER CREW - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"driving more than 70 mph the truck started to move suddenly and i could not control it until i got off the road, until i was unable to control the truck by reducing the speed to 20 mph"

"the steering wheel shakes violently at speeds of 50-55 mph. the vehicle drives without any issues then without any warning or warning lights the vehicle starts shaking to the point you lose steering control and must immediately slow down until the shaking stops. this vehicle is available for inspection if needed. the safety of myself as well as others is due to the loss of steering at higher speeds and the need to immediately slow down. when this occurs it is often in highway traffic. this vehicle has been inspected and new shocks and steering damper as well as new tires were installed. the problem still exist."

"my wife and i were traveling on interstate and hit a rough section of road outside nashville when the truck started to shake uncontrollably, and we nearly hit the center concrete barrier. we had to completely stop before the violent shaking stopped. the next day the same thing happened on another rough section on the interstate. we had cars on both sides of us so could not immediately move to the road shoulder and had to slow down in middle of interstate to stop the violent shaking and nearly hit a car. i am surprise we did not get hit by someone rear ending us due to having to stop in middle of interstate with traffic traveling 70 mph. i have been reading up on what happened, and people are calling this abnormal sustained wheel oscillation or death shake. i want to make sure this is incident is logged and reviewed as someone will end up getting killed due to this issue if happening on other f250 trucks."

"repeating death wobble. have replace all suspension and steering parts 3 times and the wobble returns."

"at speeds over 60mph when driving across an uneven road surface or bump the cab of the truck begins to shake uncontrollable and will not stop until the speed is below 35. it has happened multiple times on major highways and changing lanes and reducing speed has nearly caused a traffic accident"

"i was driving on the highway going 70mph, and hit a bump in the road that caused the whole truck to violently and aggressively shake. i let off the gas. the truck was hard to control and it was a scary 10 seconds. eventually it regained stability and it was rolling normal."

"i was driving 75 mph down the highway, ran over a patch if wavy concrete road when the front end of my f250 began to shake violently. out of nowhere, i was not in control of my truck and simply along for the ride. thank god for alert truck drivers around me that gave me space when they saw i was struggling to regain control. i used 15' of lane, side to side, to get my truck back under control but the only thing that worked was taking my foot off the accelerator. once i reached 35 mph, the shaking ceased and i was able to move to the side of the highway to determine the cause of the issue. imediately after getting to the side of the road, i checked the tires and removed the hub caps to confirm every wheel lug was tight and secure. no play in the wheels side to side nor any visible irregularities anywhere. with reluctance, i drove on the service road and the truck ran smooth. i eased back onto the highway and the truck ran smooth. when i researched my event on the web this evening, i found the issue of "death wobble". i will be contacting the dealership tomorrow, but based on what i've read from numerous reviews and comments, i'm not the only one with the problem, nor should i expect an admission from ford or expect them to take responsibility for the issue. it surprises me that an issue this grave affects 2005-2017 year models and nothing has been done to remedy the defect. it appears that ford is placing the blame back onto the customer's maintenance schedule and tire alignments. how can this problem which began in the 2005 model still plague my 2012 model? what can be done to rectify the issue and prevent this from happening to others?"

"2013 f-250 platinum super duty power stroke truck started bumping and vibration in the front end and steering at 65mph after slight bounce on a road transition from road to bridge. vibration increased until truck was put into neutral and allowed to slow down. once under 50 mph truck regained stability."

"extreme 'death wobble' happens when driving above 55mph and there's a bump or dip of any size in the road. the truck becomes impossible to control until you come to almost a complete stop this has been fixed 3 times now it initially started in 2017 with just about 140,000 miles on the truck (which had a new front end installed by ford)"

"driving on major interstate when i drove through bumpy area of the hwy. the front started shaking violently unexpected. i snice have learned this is called "death wobble" i reduced speed to exit to the shoulder but the shaking has stopped. i exited the next safe exit and looked at my front suspension/steering and did not see any noticable damage. i continues for approx 10 miles when it started again after crossing bumpy portion of hwy. over fear of causing bodily injury to myself or someone else. i brought in to the dealership"
