2010 Ford F-250 SUPERCAB - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"the vehicle has been experiencing a death wobble in the front suspension for about 2 years. i have had regular maintenance of the vehicle at a local ford dealership. the first incident occurred shortly after i had the vehicle serviced for oil change and tire rotation. i was driving about 75 mph on the i-5 freeway and ran over a transition in the road from blacktop to cement, the entire front end began to violently shake. i slowed down and pulled over and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary, so i continued on. about 30 miles further, i hit a small pothole in the road with the driver side front tire, and the entire front end again began to violently shake. i slowed down and moved to the right, and when i reached about 40 mph, the shaking stopped. i took the vehicle to capistrano ford and they said some bushings were worn, so they replaced them. when i picked the vehicle up and started driving on the freeway, the violent shaking occurred again. i returned the vehicle to capistrano ford, and they said they could not duplicate the problem. i had them rotate the tires back to their original positions and did not have another incident for several months. then, the violent shaking occurred once again, so i returned the vehicle to capistrano ford, and had the shocks replaced. they inspected the suspension but did not recommend any other parts be replaced. the violent shaking has continued to occur, and has recently become more frequent. the vehicle has about 106,000 miles, is in excellent condition and has been regularly maintained only at capistrano ford. i am inputting the date of the most recent incident, although it first occurred about 2 years ago."

"driving down the road, hit a bump in road, and front end began to shake so hard that i lost control of the truck and ended up on side of the road. began to try and drive the truck home (less than 5 miles away), it began to shake 2 more times. called dealership, they stated it was a "death wobble"...but they don't fix them or correct the issue. i would have to pay for it myself."

"when driving at highway speeds, the front end steering wheels will violently begin wo wobble and shake to a severe level that will cause the truck to loss control if the driver does not immediately slow its speed by braking. this action that must be taken to bring the truck back into control is dangerous at highway speeds as other traffic is behind or next to your truck. this has occurred numerous times, with the first time replacing all four tires and over the past several years has created dis-pleasurable driving. this manufacture defect by ford must be corrected as many lives are a risk due to an engineering problem with the front suspension."

"when driving over 50 miles per hour, on highways especially, the front end of the truck and steering wheel starts to shake uncontrollably and i have to immediately slow down and/or pull off the road. this is very dangerous considering there are numerous tractor trailers and other vehicles on the highway. it's often impossible to pull over when needed and i am fearful for my life. it has been happening for at least 6 months if not longer."

"while travel on the highway at 70 mph upon hitting a bump my steering wheel and front end of the truck began to violently shake. i applied my brake and pulled to the side of the highway the shaking stopped. i inspected the vehicle finding nothing visually wrong. i continued my trip having the violent shaking occur twice more before the conclusion of my trip."

"when driving down the road steering wheel and entire truck started wobbling violently. has done this several times. only way to make it stop is to almost completely stop the truck. has happened when driving less than 45mph on city streets and when driving 65mph on the highway."

"the front end of my ford f-250 regularly wobbles uncontrollably when traveling on the freeway at speeds in excess of 50 mph. the shaking is so scary and violent and the only way to stop it is to slow down or stop the vehicle and this is very challenging and dangerous while traveling at high speeds on the freeway with other cars around."

"ford f250 superduty. 52,000 miles. severe shake in the front end of the truck at speed 45-55 mph. truck also is pulling to the right (not while braking). highway driving."

"truck is experiencing the 'death wobble'. violent shaking and bouncing of the front end and steering assembly. has happened multiple times- always at freeway speeds after hitting a change in pavement surface- bridge joint; pothole, rough road. both when empty and when towing a travel trailer. has happens going straight and also on curves. the violent shaking continues until the truck slows down to a certain point (under 30 mph?) then it returns to normal operations. having to slow down on the freeway is dangerous! there are numerous articles, videos, etc online that detail the problem. there is also a class-action lawsuit (i am not party to it ). ford needs to acknowledge the problem and fix it! this should be a safety recall before someone is killed! it is very scary and dangerous and if the driver panics or isn't skilled it could result in a very serious crash. from what i have learned ford's recommended fix does not fix the problem. customers spend a lot of money replacing parts but that isn't the solution. the problem persists. my truck is bone stock and well maintained. this is an engineering defect, not a customer maintenance issue."

"death wobble. hitting a bum at highway speeds and the struck loses control. have to pull over onto the shoulder for hit to stop. almost took me into the other lane and hit a car. very dangerous. has happened several times."
