SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND PEOPLE WHO HAVE REFERRED TO THIS AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' I HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO MY TRUCK 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS TO FIX THIS CAUSING ME APPROXIMATELY $1000 EACH TIME. MOST RECENTLY MONDAY JULY 9, 2018. THE 'REPAIR' SEEMS TO BE ONLY TEMPORARY AND EACH TIME I HAVE IT FIXED IT LASTS 6-9 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNWILLING TO HELP NOR IS FORD CUSTOMER COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING 55-65 MPH AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP.

SUSPENSION
THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT TIMES AFTER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. OUR TRUCK WENT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS HOWEVER THEY SAID SINCE IT COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED CONSISTENTLY NOTHING COULD BE DONE. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE - MUCH WORSE. LAST SUMMER IT GOT SO BAD IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE SO WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO PUT NEW SUSPENSION PARTS IN THE FRONT END. AFTER A COUPLE THOUSAND IN REPAIRS AND MANY NEW PARTS, IT STILL SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY WE CANNOT DRIVE IT SAFELY. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE COMPLAINTS - THEY ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND ON THIS SITE SO WHY CAN THIS NOT BE FIXED? I DROVE MY GRAND-DAUGHTERS IN IT ONE DAY TWO WEEKS AGO AND AFTER NOT HAPPENING FOR DAYS IT HAPPENED AND IT'S A WONDER WE DID NOT HIT THE ONCOMING CAR HEAD ON. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IN ONE OF THESE TRUCKS AND THEN MAYBE FORD WILL STEP UP AND AT LEAST TELL THOSE OF US THAT OWN THEM HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! IT SEEMS LIKE IT RARELY HAPPENS AT 40 MPH OR BELOW BUT HAPPENS QUICKLY AT 55 MPH OR MORE. IF SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" IT SHOULD BE FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE F250, 2012, 6.7L, DIESEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM EMITS DIESEL PARTICLES INTO THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK. THE PARTICLES ARE FINE AND ARE A HEALTH RISK. THE PARTICULATE FILTER HAS BEEN CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE PARTICLES CAN BE SEEN ON THE DOOR JAMS LEADING INTO THE TRUCK. THESE PARTICLES ARE FINE MIST AND ENTER INTO THE CAB AS WELL BECAUSE THE CAB ISN'T AIR TIGHT AND THE PARTICLES INTO THE CAB AND WHEN BREATHED IN CAN CAUSE NOT ONLY LUNG DAMAGE, BUT CANCER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED.

SUSPENSION
FRONT SUSPENSION SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM IS REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT ALL HAVE FAILED. THERE ARE WEBSITES, FACEBOOK PAGES,AND FORUMS DEVOTED TO THIS PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD WILL ISSUE A RECALL????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE IN THE MIDDLE TWO LANES TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAD PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OVER HIGHWAY STEERING AND FRONT WHEELS STARTING SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND NEARLY CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENT, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON THREE OCCASIONS. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF STEERING, SUSPENSION OF FRONT WHEELS OF TRUCK, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS $67000.00 VEHICLE WITH 48000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK IN AND REPAIR SHOP SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM, I HAVE IT IN SHOP AGAIN WAITING FOR ANOTHER OPINION! I FEEL THIS VEHICLE TYPE BE RECALLED, I HOPE NOBODY DIES FROM THIS FLAW IN MY VEHICLE AND IT IS WHY I WANTED TO REPORT THIS VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE 2012 FORD F-250 KING RANCH DEATH WOBBLE DRIVING CONDITIONS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WERE ON HIGHWAY CONDITIONS DRIVING OVER SMALL PAVEMENT BUMPS AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60 TO 70 MPH STRAIGHT ROADS AND ALSO TURNING ON CURVES, THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU LOOSE CONTROL TRUCK SHAKING CONTINUES UNTIL THE TRUCK ALMOST COMES TO A STOP WHILE YOU ARE BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN. THIS HAPPENS SO FAST AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING IN STEERING OR ROAD FEEL , THIS OCCURS WITH SUCH SURPRISE AND SO VIOLENTLY OUT OF NOWHERE

ENGINE
DRIVING TRUCK IT TOLD ME TO PULL OVER AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART, HAD TO GET A TOW HOME. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MY TRUCK DID AS FOLLOWS. WHEN THE EGT SENSOR GOES ON THE BLINK, THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE THINKS THERE IS AN EXHAUST SYSTEM OVERHEATING SITUATION. THE VEHICLE THEN GOES INTO A 'CONTROLLED POWER REDUCTION MODE' WHILE FIVE WARNING CHIMES ARE RINGING AWAY. THIS ENDS WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY AS SOON AS THE TRUCK SLOWS TO FOUR MPH, WITH NO ENGINE RESTART IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.

WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON A SMOOTH ASPHALT CITY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED. THE TIRES ARE 5 YEARS OLD AND THE TREAD WAS MEASURED AT 6/32 ON 6-15-17 AT THE DEALER DURING ROUTINE SERVICE. THE PRESSURE WAS SET AT 65 PSI AT THE SAME TIME WHICH IS THE MANUFACTURE SPEC. THE TREAD COMING OFF CAUSED APPROXIMATELY $1300 DAMAGE TO MY FENDER (NOT INCLUDING THE TIRE COST). THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT SINCE I WAS THE ONLY CAR ON THE ROAD. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING OR RUN OVER ANYTHING WHEN THE TIRE EXPLODED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING SLOWER TRAFFIC, VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT INTO THE LIMP MODE. PROBLEM SEEMS MOST PRESENT AT AROUND 2000 RPM WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE SPEED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING WHEN THE TURBO BOOST IS INCREASED. RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ECO BOOST ENGINE IN THIS AND OTHER YEAR MODELS. THE NHTSA BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION IN 2012 BUT DROPPED THE PROBE WHEN FORD SAID THEY HAD RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A "SAFETY ISSUE" FOR DRIVERS OF THIS EQUIPMENT. HEADED FOR THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE HOW THIS CAN BE RESOLVED.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2012 FORD F-250 6.7 LITER DIESEL, THE TRUCK HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT AND IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH FORD, ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO TRUCK ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED, LUCKILY WE WERE NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HAD TRUCK TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS CONTAMINATED FUEL, WHICH RESULTED IN COMPLETE FAILURE OF FUEL SYSTEM. COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $10,500 AND FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER BAD FUEL. PROBLEM IS I ONLY GET MY FUEL FROM ONE STATION AND THEY TESTED NEGATIVE FOR CONTAMINATION. MY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS IS THERE WAS NO CONTAMINATED FUEL, BUT INSTEAD A FAULTY COMPONENT IN MY FUEL SYSTEM. MEANING FORD SHOULD BACK UP THERE PRODUCT. AT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS BEING INVESTIGATED BUT FORD IS ALREADY SAYING I NEED TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE
