STEERING, SUSPENSION
AFTER DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS (E.G. BUMPS, POT HOLES, DIPS, ETC.) AT SPEEDS ABOUT 40MPH OR ABOVE, THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VERY VIOLENTLY, AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES QUICKLY AND STRONGLY, ALTERNATING RAPIDLY BETWEEN CLOCKWISE AND COUNTER-CLOCKWISE MOVEMENTS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK; CONTROL CAN ONLY BE REGAINED AFTER SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BELOW ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR, WHICH IS WELL BELOW ACCEPTABLE SPEEDS ON AN EXPRESSWAY. THIS IS NOT A ONE-TIME INCIDENT, BUT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME A ROAD IMPERFECTION IS DRIVEN OVER. TIRE PRESSURE IS CONSTANTLY CHECKED AND MAINTAINED, THE TIRES ARE RELATIVELY NEW (I.E. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES), AND THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY A MECHANIC WITH NO OBVIOUS PROBLEMS.

STEERING
THIS TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED SHIMMY, AKA DEATH WOBBLE, SINCE NEW. I HAVE HAD NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS AND NOT RUNNING ANYTHING OTHER THAN RECOMMENDED SIZE AND QUALITY OF TIRE. WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK HOPS AND SHAKES IN A DANGEROUS WAY. I HAVE ONLY GOTTEN LETTERS FROM FORD SAYING TO USE THE CORRECT TIRES AND PSI RATING. WHICH I HAVE AND IT STILL HAPPENS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS AT STOPS. I'VE HAD SERVICE TECHNICIANS CHECK THE SYSTEMS, TWO MASTERCYLINDERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED THAT DID'NT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE DETERMINED THE ABS VALVE IS THE ISSUE AND WILL NOT FAIL ON A HARD BRAKE.. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A SAFE SITUATION AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT

STEERING
I PURCHASED USED IN 2012 AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITH A VERY WIDE TURNING RADIUS. I'VE DRIVEN OTHER FORDS AT A LOCAL AUCTION HOUSE SAME YEAR/MODEL THAT STEER FINE AND TURN TIGHTER. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN MINE THAT'S DIMINISHING ITS SAFETY AND USABILITY.

ENGINE
MY TRUCK HAS 101K MILES ON IT AND IT JUST STARTED STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING( ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS), ALSO WHILE JUST IDLING IT STALLS(STATIONARY). I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD FOR THEM TO HOOK IT UP ON THEIR COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER HOURS THERE AND IT STALLING OUT AND NOT RESTARTING THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND CHARGED ME $125. AS I WAS LEAVING THEY SAID CHANGE YOUR MAF SENSOR AND #8 COIL AND IT'LL BE FINE. SO, I DID JUST THAT IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. IT STALLED OUT MANY TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. I THOUGHT BY TAKING IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP (THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS) I WOULD GET IT FIXED. AND MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE AGAIN. I WAS WRONG. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH THIS. THANKS

ENGINE
2008 FORD F450 6.4L TURBO DIESEL PROBLEMS MY WIFE TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON HER WITH 137000 MILES ON IT COMING BACK FROM SOUTH CAROLINA IN JULY 2016. MECHANICS FOUND METAL SHAVING IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. LONG STORY SHORT, HAD TO HAVE THE LONG BLOCK REPLACED ON THE TRUCK. 15,000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. APPEARS WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THREE MORE PEOPLE WE KNOW WHO JUST BOUGHT 2008 FORD F450 SD 6.4L TRUCKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ONE FAMILIES TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON THEM THREE WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT ON THERE WAY HOME FROM A HORSE SHOW. SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE OTHER FAMILY. COMMON FACTOR IN ALL THREE STORIES...METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL FILTER HOUSING. NONE OF THE TRUCKS WERE LOW ON FLUID. APPEARS 6.4L ENGINES HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS 6.0L ENGINES. INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE ON 6.4L ISSUES AND HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THESE ENGINES OR REFUND THE MONEY THAT WAS SPENT TO FIX THESE ENGINES IF REPAIR HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. *TR

SPARK PLUG SHOOT OUT OF ENGINE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY 4 THREADS TO SCREW INTO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK TWO TIMES WHEN IT WAS YOUR WITH THE FACTORY PLUGS. AND NOW WITH OTHERS THAT WERE THAT WERE DO TO SPECS BY FORD. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO PEOPLE THAT STICK THEIR HAND IT THERE WHEN THEY SEE A FLOPPY COIL AND DON'T KNOW THEY CAN BE SHOCKED. PLEASE DO SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME WHEN DRIVING, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE AND THEN IT STARTS RUNNING DIFFERENT ANSWERS SOUNDS LIKE A LAWNMOWER WITHOUT A MUFFLER. IT IS SCARY AND CAUSED ME A PANIC ATTACK AS I HAD TO FIND MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY WONDERING IF IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE. IT NOR FIXED BECAUSE IT COST TO MUCH AND MY HAND IT TWITCHY FROM THE SHOCK IT GAVE ME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD IN MY 2008 F250 PICKUP (DIESEL) ON 26 JAN 2016 ABOUT 35 MPH, AND CAME UPON A STOP SIGN. I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED BRAKING. THE ENGINE STARTED ACCELERATING, EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (HIGH), SO ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SPINNING FAST, AND KEPT THE VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, AND AFTER GOING SEVERAL FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION, IT FINALLY STOPPED. I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I THEN CONTINUED ON MY WAY. THE VEHICLE HAD 37,062 MILES.
