STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, SOMETIMES WITH A BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. VERY NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MILEAGE AROUND 130,000, TIRES SHOWED WEAR OUTSIDE EDGE, NEW TIRES FROM THE DEALER HAD TO BE RE-BALANCED AROUND 50,000 AFTER I BOUGHT THEM, WAY OUT OF BALANCE. THE SHAKING MOVES THE STEERING WHEEL SO MUCH SO THAT I COULD EASILY LOOSE CONTROL IF I WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION, VERY DANGEROUS.

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VERY VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN ROAD THE SHAKING DOESN'T GO AWAY TILL I GET VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH DOING THIS ON A INTERSTATE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY ON 10/7/20 THIS HAPPENED AND IT SHOOK SO BAD AIR CLEANER CAME OFF AND VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STOPPED ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER. THEY FOUND THE MAF SENSOR BECAME DIRTY WHEN AIR FILTER CAME OFF SO THEY CLEAN IT TEST DROVE VEHICLE AND VERIFIED VEHICLE SHAKING. THEY SAID SUSPENSIONS LOOKED GOOD BUT HAD SLIGHT WEAR ON TRACK BAR BALL JOINT. THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER AND I SHOWED THEM THAT IT WAS REPLACED ON 10/6/20 FOR THE SAME SHAKING PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THIS WOULD REPAIR THE SHAKING THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT SURE BUT IT WOULD ELIMINATE IT AS A POSSIBILITY. I DECLINED THEIR GUESSING GAME AT MY EXPENSE. THIS SHAKING PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED AND FORD NEEDS TO GET A CURE FOR THIS PROBLEM

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 30-50 MILES AN HOUR IF THE ROAD IS NOT SMOOTH. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. FORD REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT IT MAY BE THE TRACTION BAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE FRONT END SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT ALMOST CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH A VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS 107000 MILES.

AIR BAGS
FRONT POSITIONED AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING FRONT END COLLISION. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE INCURRED TO FRONT OF VEHICLE - GIVEN THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT, AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAS IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH BEFORE SEEING A STOPPED VEHICLE IN THE ROADWAY. VERY LITTLE TIME TO APPLY BRAKE BEFORE IMPACT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING, THE FRONT WHEELS ARE WOBBLING AND CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BECOME UNSTABLE. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAVE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL THE WOBBLING STOPS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON VERY SMOOTH AND FLAT HIGHWAYS. IT FIRST HAPPENED AROUND TWO YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE AS IT ONLY HAPPENED ON ONE CERTAIN STRETCH OF ROAD THAT I TRAVELED OCCASIONALLY. IN THE LAST YEAR IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN CAUSING ME CONCERN THAT THE TRUCK COULD BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED OFF ROAD OR HAULED/PULLED HEAVY LOADS. THE STOCK SUSPENSION IS NOT MODIFIED/LIFTED.

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MILES AN HOUR I PASSED OVER A BRIDGE AND MY FORD TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN PASSING OVER BUMPS GOING OVER BRIDGES ETC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN ENDANGERING ME AND EVERYONE ELSE. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON 6 LANE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 65-75MPH. WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND THE STEERING AND BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE WERE GREATLY IMPAIRED AND THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I DECREASED THE SPEED BY AT LEAST 15-20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN EITHER ONE TIRE HITS A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD OR BOTH TIRES HIT AN UNEVEN BRIDGE ON THE HIGHWAY.

ENGINE
AT JUST OVER 100000 MILES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P20BA CAME ON, REDUCTANT HEATER, TURN OUT AS IT IS AN F250 ITS NOT COVERED, BUT F450 AND F550 ARE. ALSO AS AIR TEMPERATURES ARE IN HIGH 80F, THE HEATER IS NOT REQUIRED. NOW EMISSIONS ARE NOT MEETING THE SPECIFICATIONS AND TRUCK COMPLETES MORE REGENS TO STAY CLEAN, INCREASING CHANCE OF HEATING NEARBY ITEMS (STRAW, GRASS AND HOUSEHOLD STRUCTURE) POTENTIALLY STARTING FIRES. THE REGENS OCCUR DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND THE HEATING AFFECTS SURROUNDING AREA WHEN PARKED

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE HAVE TWO TRUCKS A 2015 [XXX] AND 2016 [XXX] F250 TRUCKS FINANCED THROUGH FORD. BOTH AC EVAPORATORS HAVE GONE OUT AND FORD IS SAYING THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ARE NOT PRODUCING ANYMORE UNTIL IT IS REDESIGNED. THEY DONT KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE OR IF IT WILL BE RECALLED FOR THIS. SO I AM A LANDSCAPE COMPANY IN FLORIDA AND OUR CREWS HAVE NO AC UNTIL WHO KNOWS WHEN. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP EXPRESS THE REDESIGN OR RECALL. WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE THESE PAYMENTS AND A/C IS NOT AN OPTION. WE ARE CONSIDERING RENTING TRUCKS FOR NOW. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL MAKING THESE PAYMENTS. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2015 F250 HAS DEVELOPED THE NOTORIOUS FORD DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP, BRIDGE JOINT, OR ANY LARGE ENOUGH DEFORMITY IN THE ROAD IT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOSE ALL STEERING CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW AND IT IS ONLY GETTING MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 24JUN2020 TO HAVE THE SUSPENSION LOOKED AT. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT YET, BUT I HAVE HAD OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS HEADING FROM CIBOLO, TX TO KINGSVILLE, TX. (DISTANCE 181 MILES) UPON ARRIVING AT DESTINATION I SHUT DOWN MY TRUCK. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONNECTED MY OBD READER AND IT IDENTIFIED THE FAULT CODE P21B0 (I DID NOT CLEAR ANY CODES). FROM MY RESEARCH IT RELATES TO THE 'REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR 'C' CIRCUIT HIGH'. AFTER RESEARCHING MORE INFORMATION I STARTED LOOKING THROUGH THE INFORMATION CENTER UNDER THE VEHICLE SETTING AND NOTICED THE DEF LEVEL WAS BELOW HALF (I NEVER GOT A POP UP OR NOTIFICATION FROM THE INFORMATION CLUSTER). IN THE PAST THE INFORMATION CLUSTER WOULD DISPLAY THE LEVEL NOTIFICATION WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THIS TIME IT DID NOT. I PURCHASED SOME DEF AND FILLED THE TANK. IT ONLY TOOK TWO GALLONS OF DEF. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE REST OF THE DAY DRIVING AROUND AFTER FILLING THE DEF TANK AND THE DEF 'BELOW HALF' NOTIFICATION ALSO REMAINED ON. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE DEF 'BELOW HALF' NOTIFICATION WAS GONE. *TR
