SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES TESTED A MONTH AGO AT FORD. ALL OF A SUDDEN NO BRAKES AND FLUID EVERYWHERE. FORD SAID CALIPER JUST WENT BAD 1500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH WAS A APPARENT DEFECT. NOTHING SHOULD GO BAD THAT QUICK. PADS METAL ON METAL WITH NO WARNING. NO LIGHT. NO NOISE. NOTHING. JUST SNAPPED PUTTING MYSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND ME IN DANGER

STEERING
DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCED BY ME ON 5/10/19 DOING 60 ON RURAL ROAD. EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 AT LEAST 6 TIMES THE NEXT TIME. A MOTORCYCLE ALMOST CRASHED-FORD FIXED BY FRONT END ALIGNMENT-EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK TO FORD TO REPAIR AND THE SVC MGR SUGGESTED WE FILE A CASE NUMBER WITH FORD CAS-22221345-C3V0P4 ON 7/23/19, FORD CUST EXPERIENCE SPECIALIST SUGGESTED WE TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER, TOOK TO TOOK TO GORDIE BOUCHER WHO SAID IT RECOMMENDS REPLACING BOTH TIE RODS DUE TO INNER TIE ROD AT THE PITMAN ARM HAS PLAY IN IT AND THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER TIE ROD HAS PLAY IT IT TOOPREPLACED LEFT SIDE DRAG LINK AND THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER TIE. DEALER STATED WORSE TRUCK THEY HAD EVER DRIVEN. DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN GOING 35 DOWN HWY H IN KENOSHA COUNTY. EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENED WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR AN OFF RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. WAITING FOR AN OFF RAMP IS THE SCARIEST BECAUSE YOU HOPE YOU CAN CONTROL THE TRUCK TO MAKE IT OFF THE INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND DID RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHERS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING SO HE DID THE SAME-REPLACE THE STEERING SHOCK, THE STABILIZING BAR ASSEMBLY, THE TRACK BAR ASSEMBLY, AND THE FRONT SHOCKS. FORD DID 2 FRONT END ALIGNMENTS, THEY TURNED ROTORS ALSO..FORD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE SPECIALISTS KEEPS TELLING US TO TAKE TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. PER FORD, TIRE TREAD AND WEAR ARE GOOD. IT APPEARS EVERYTHING MY HUSBAND HAS DONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT WE WILL SEE WHEN WE DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD ON OUR NEXT INTERSTATE TRIP. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE PAID OUT $1,675 AND MY HUSBAND HAS DONE ALL THE WORK. WE ARE SCARED TO DEATH THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE ARE UNSURE WHAT STEPS WE SHOULD BE TAKING, BUT WE ARE AFRAID WE COULD DIE AND NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS.

STEERING
DRIVING 55 MPH ON HWY 161 IN AR (IN MOTION) WHEN I HIT A ROUGH SPOT ABOUT 2' BUMP THAT COMPLETELY CROSSED THE LANE I WAS DRIVING IN, THE FRONT WHEELS SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FRONT END SHOP AND ALL THEY COULD FIND WRONG WAS THE BALL JOINTS WERE A LITTLE WORN, I HAD THEM REPLACED AND THE TRUCK DID BETTER FOR ABOUT 3,000 MILES AND NOW IT'S WORSE THAN EVER. A TRUCK WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS WITH FORD.?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY TRUCK HAS HAD A WINDSHIELD LEAK FOR SOME TIME . APPROXIMATELY SINCE ABOUT 38,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO GABRIEL JORDAN FORD IN LIVINGSTON TEXAS WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW AND THE SERVICE MANAGER FAILED TO RECORD THE FIX INTO THEIR SYSTEM. AND OVER TIME WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE RAIN HAS RAN DOWN MY THE INSIDE OF THE CAB AND RUINED MY SYNC SYSTEM DISABLING IT . THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY COMPLAINT AND SO I AM WRITING TO YOU TO EXPRESS MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN YOUR PRODUCT. BECAUSE OF THE WATER THERE IS RUST STARTING INSIDE THE CAB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL AND A MOLDY SMELL . I BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I AM CONSIDERING NOT BUYING FROM FORD IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF POOR WORKMANSHIP.

STEERING
I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS WAS AT LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I WAS EXITING A FREEWAY OFF RAMP AT ABOUT 60 MPH WITH MY STEERING WHEEL COCKED JUST TO THE LEFT. I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME VIOLENT IN MY HAND CAUSING ME TO BRIEFLY LOOSE CONTROL AND ALMOST RUN OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT NOBODY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE. I CANNOT REMEMBER A TIME IN MY 55 YEARS THAT I FELT SO HOPELESSLY OUT OF CONTROL OF A SITUATION. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND HAD SOME FRONT END PARTS REPLACED AND HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THE PROBLEM WAS CURED FOR ANOTHER 40,000 MILES UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD MAKE IT QUIT WAS BY HITTING THE BRAKES AND GETTING DOWN BELOW 20 MPH. OF COURSE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND EMBARRASSING. REPLACED SEVERAL FRONT END PARTS AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THEN AGAIN THIS TIME WHICH IS THE 4TH TIME IN 150,000 MILES. I DO NOT KNOW HOW I HAVE NOT BEEN KILLED BY THIS VERY COMMON FORD PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THIS TIME I HAVE REPLACED ALMOST THE WHOLE FRONT END, HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOW GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK. IF I GET UP OVER 40 MPH I CAN EVEN FEEL IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IT IS RIGHT ON THE VERGE OF THE DREADED DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT PEOPLE HAVE LOST CONTROL AND HAVE EVEN BEEN KILLED BY THIS ISSUE. I TALKED TO A GENTLEMAN AT FORD AND HE ACTED AS IF HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. THIS MUST BE FIXED!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2015 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY IN OCTOBER OF 2015 AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES FROM THE START. EVERY TIME I HAD AN ISSUE AND TO HAVE IT SERVICED, I WAS SURE TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THE EXPERTS HIRED BY FORD COULD CORRECT MY ISSUE OR SERVICE IT REGULARLY AS I SHOULD. IF THE EXPERTS ARE SERVICING MY VEHICLE, I EXPECT THEM TO FIRST IDENTITY IF THERE IS AN ISSUE, SECOND NOTIFY ME OR SOMEONE AT THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE AND THEN CORRECT THE ISSUE CONSIDERING MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS "BRAND NEW VEHICLE" IT RANDOMLY KILLED ON MY WIFE WHILE SHE'S SIMPLY TRAVELLING THE CITY STREETS OF OUR SMALL HOME TOWN. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK STARTED AND GETTING MY WIFE HOME SAFELY, I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND SAID, THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED. RUSTED AFTER HAVING IT FOR LESS THAN A YEAR?? THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WANTED ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET! LESS THAN A YEAR OFF THE LOT! IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP INVOLVED THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AFTER THEM HOLDING IT UNTOUCH FOR 2 WEEKS! NOW, AS I WAS TRAVELING ONE THE INTERSTATE, OVER 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, IM LEFT STRANDED YET AGAIN! I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP! AGAIN, STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO, NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT; ONLY TO LEARN THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINE AND FORD IS DENYING TO COVER IT. THE SERVICE GUY AT THIS DEALERSHIP SAID THE SAY AS THE ONE 500 MILES AWAY, "THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WE SEE ALL THE TIME." I WANT ANSWERS! I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET BACK HOME AND NOW MY VEHICLE IS AT A DEALERSHIP 500 MILES AWAY AND WILL NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE FORD HAS YET AGAIN, DENIED MY WARRANTY! I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT FROM EVERY SERVICE DONE ONLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN, I WANT ANSWERS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2015 FORD F250 DIESEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT CHECKED AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR FORD. THE CODE GIVEN WAS P20BA WHICH IS DEF TANK REDUNTANT HEATER FAILURE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2011 FOR FORD. I HAVE LESS THAN 27000 MILES ON MY TRUCK BUT SINCE IT HAPPENED OUTSIDE THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY, MY LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT COVER IT. I CONTACTED FORD THRU THIER WEB SITE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS UP TO THE DEALER WHETHER IT WAS COVERED OR NOT. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL WARRANTY. THING IS FORD SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS YEARS AGO. I ALSO FOUND OUT THE 2015 F450 AND F550 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THEN WHY AREN'T THE 2015 F250 AND F350.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE REDUCTANT HEATER AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY FAILED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND THE REMOTE START TO BECOME DISABLED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS GENERALLY DRIVEN IN HIGH-TRAFFIC SITUATIONS AND THE DANGER WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO ENTER LIMP MODE THEREBY CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TRAFFIC HAZARD. BASED ON A FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN (UPLOADED), WE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. THE REPAIR INVOICE HAS BEEN UPLOADED WITH PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING DATA REDACTED. THE ORIGINAL IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
