STEERING, SUSPENSION
VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE AND CAB VIBRATION WHEN HITTING UNEVEN SURFACE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70MPH.) WHEN THE WOBBLE OCCURS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AROUND 40MPH FOR THE WOBBLE TO GO AWAY AND REGAIN CONTROL. THE MILEAGE WHEN IT STARTED WAS APPROXIMATELY 40K AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WITH 67K I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FORCED OFF THE ROAD AS I COULDN'T STEER IT AWAY FROM THE MEDIAN. AS SOON AS MY SPEED DIPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH I REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT EXIT FOR INSPECTION. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS IS BAD BALL JOINTS ON BOTH FRONT END SIDES. BE PREPARED TO SLOW TO 40MPH QUICKLY ON A BUSY FREEWAY IF THIS EVER OCCURS TO YOU.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY TRUCK AT AROUND 15000 MILES HAD SOME WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT IN FOR ITS 25000 MILE CHECK UP AND STATED THIS AS WELL AS POOR ECONOMY OR 1 OR SO. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG... WELL AT 27000 MILES IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENT I DEMANDED IT BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE IT WAS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE! GROOVE FORD LOOKED IT OVER (WHO BOUGHT IT FROM) AND SAID THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS WORN OUT AND WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE NOW IT WAS 40 DAY PAST THE 3 YEAR. EVEN THOUGHT THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT, AND IT WAS 9000MILES UNDER THE MILLAGE!! I FINALLY GOT FORD TO PAY FOR 2000 AND THE GROOVE FORD PAID NOTHING I PAID 700. THEY VERY DAY I GOT IT BACK I WAS THEN HEARING A NOISE TURNING SHARPLY LEFT ON STEERING WHEEL ROTATION. I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER $700 AND NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THEY DID. THEY SOLD ME A AFTER MARKET WARRANTY THAT THEY NEVER INTENDED TO HONOR AND DID NOT COVER MY PROBLEMS. WHICH SHOULD BE FRAUD. EVERY ONES ALWAYS GONE OR ON VACATION. STILL NO REFUND ON IT AND NOW I LOOK TO TRADE IN THE PROBLEM.

RIGHT REAR DOOR AJAR, ACCORDING TO FORD DEALER THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL THE TRUCKS IF THE OWNER'S DO NOT USE THE DOORS ALL THE TIME. IT IS A $300.00 PART PLUS LABOR, IF FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT THEN THEY SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE. I OPENED THE RIGHT REAR DOOR TO PUT GROCERIES IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON, WHEN IT IS ON THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR 12 MINUTES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND THE RIGHT REAR DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON THE DASHBOARD.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CURRENTLY MY F250 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE HAS A CEL CODE OF P20BA (REDUCTANT HEATER). DURING AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH ON THIS PART, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE REDUCTANT HEATER WAS BUILT BY BOSCH AND SIMILAR VARIANTS WERE INSTALLED IN VW, GM, BENZ, AND OTHER DIESEL MANUFACTURES. VOLKS WAGON HAS ALREADY INCREASED THE WARRANTY OF THIS PART AS IT IS PRONE TO FAILURE. FORD HAS YET TO MAKE A STB OR A RECALL NOTICE TO SERVICE AND REPAIR THIS VITAL EMISSIONS COMPONENT. WHILE SEARCHING SEVERAL 6.7L FORD TRUCK FORUMS, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN MANY 6.7 TRUCKS. IT SEEMS ODD THAT A TRUCK WITH 70K MILES THAT IS NOT USED FOR COMMERCIALLY PURPOSES, HAS FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF THE VEHICLES LIFE. NATIONALLY THIS REPAIR, IF DONE BY A FORD DEALER, IS APPROXIMATELY $750. THE COST OF DELETING THE DEF SYSTEM, THOUGH A FEDERAL CRIME, IS $1,200 DOLLARS. IF THE COST TO REMOVE EQUIPMENT THAT IS PRONE TO FAILURE, CAN INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE, AND COSTS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN MORE , INDIVIDUALS WILL BEGIN ELIMINATING THEIR DEF SYSTEMS. A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THESE HEATERS WOULD SERVE AND BENEFIT THE DIESEL COMMUNITY.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SOMETHING FLY UP AND HIT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. THIS CAUSED ME TO THEN ROLL UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGH A RED LIGHT BARELY MISSING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. I WAS THEN ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND ROLL TO A STOP IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT. WHEN I CAME TO A SLOW ENOUGH SPEED I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE PASSENGER FROM WHEEL HAD FLUID POURING OUT INSIDE THE BRAKE AND INNER WHEEL AREAS. I RETURNED TO VEHICLE AND ONLY THEN DID ANY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON INCLUDE THE CHECK BRAKE AND HILL CONTROL WARNINGS. NEVER BEFORE HAD ANY WARNINGS BEEN GIVEN. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THE FACTORY WOULD DO SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE CALIPERS/PISTON HAD FAILED. THE FRONT CALIPERS, ROTORS, PADS MUST ALL BE REPLACED AS THE CALIPERS THEMSELVES FAILED, THE PISTONS GROUND DEEP GOUGES INTO THE ROTOR DAMAGING IT AND THE PADS WERE DESTROYED AS WELL.FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE FRONT AND REAR CALIPERS ON ALL 2013 AND 2014 F250/350 VEHICLES WITH 6.7L DIESEL. NHTSA# 10054344. DUE TO THIS BEING A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE VEHICLES TO INCLUDE MINE AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR THESE EXPENSES. NO VEHICLE THAT TOW 12K-15K POUNDS SHOULD EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE, WITHOUT WARNING ON THIS NEW OF A VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK INTO A SHOP AND THEY HAVE HAD ME REPLACE TIE ROD ENDS, TRACK BAR, AND DRAG LINK ALL WITH NO CHANGE. I HAVE ALSO BALANCED ROTATED AND ALIGNED THE TRUCK ALSO WITH NO CHANGE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH OTHERS BEING AT A DEAD END FOR WHAT TO HAVE FIXED OR LOOKED AT NEXT. I AM TO THE POINT THAT I AM BECOMING SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FIRST HAPPENED SEPTEMBER 2016

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 13, 2016 AND HAVE HAD TO RETURN THE TRUCK FOR SERVICE MORE THAN 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT FIXED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITH SOME 2014-2015 F-SUPER DUTY 6.7L DIESEL VEHICLES WHICH MAY EXHIBIT A MIL ILLUMINATED WITH DTC P207F. AND THAT THIS CONDITION MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). IN EACH OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND FIRST THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON, SECOND, MY SPEED WOULD BE LIMITED TO LESS THAN 50MPH, AND FINALLY, THE ENGINE WOULD GO INTO IDLE MODE WITH NO IMMEDIATE RESTART. I HAVE HAD TO TOW MY TRUCK FOUR TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE WORK ORDER REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS PERFORMED THE REPAIRS BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THIS DEFECT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE USE OF MY TRUCK AND HAS CREATED A SAFETY CONCERN IN WHICH I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE. I DEMAND A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND THAT INCLUDES ALL THE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OCCURRED FOR RENTALS AND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION EACH TIME MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR REPAIR WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT. LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF, INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL AS HEADLIGHTS CAME ON SPORADICALLY WHEN MOTOR WAS NOT RUNNING. HEADLIGHTS CAME ON WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING OR OCCUPIED AND THIS CAUSED ALL POWER TO DRAIN FROM THE BATTERY. DEALER CHARGED OVER $300. TO REPAIR DOOR LATCH / SWITCH ASSEMBLY ON DRIVER SIDE. THIS OCCURRED OCTOBER 1, 2016. OUR LOCAL PAPER HAD AN ARTICLE OCTOBER 4 INDICATING A COMING RECALL ON FORD EDGE SUV'S 2011 TO 2013 AND THE FORD FUSION FROM 2010. I FEEL THESE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED.
