STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I WAS DRIVING ALONG WITH A CAR IN TOW. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT AGGRAVATION, MY TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE. IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD, BUT IT DID CROSS LANES. AFTER SLOWING TO ABOUT 30 MPH THE OSCILLATION STOPPED. I DRAG RACE AND DRIVE A CAR 186 MPH IN A 1/4 MILE; BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK NOW. I DEFINITELY WILL NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS TRUCK UNTIL I'M SURE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. ITS A STOCK 2007 FORD F-250. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ANY IMPERFECTION IN ROADWAY CAUSES VIOLENT SHAKING AND DIMINISHED STEERING ABILITIES UNTIL TRUCK IS SLOWED CONSIDERABLE, OR BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. PROBLEM APPEARED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM, SADLY, NOT SURPRISED AT THE LACK OF ATTENTION THIS ISSUE HAS RECEIVED FROM FORD, OR FEDERAL AGENCIES TO WHOM I PAY HARD EARNED MONEY TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE FROM THESE TYPES THINGS. *TR

2007 FORD F-250 CREW CAB PICKUP HAS VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER ENCOUNTERING IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACES AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FRONT END BEGINS TO BOUNCE AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 49 AND COULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AS THE VEHICLE LITERALLY BOUNCED INTO AN ADJACENT LANE OF TRAFFIC THAT, THANKFULLY, WAS VOID OF VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD MY TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I ROTATED AND RE-BALANCED MY TIRES AND THIS DIDN'T HELP. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED DOING THIS AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AND IT NEARLY SENT ME OFF A CLIFF. HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD CAN CAUSE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL............. IN A BRAND NEW 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL, EQUIPMENT
AFTER ABOUT 28,000-30,000 THE TRUCK WOULD SEVERELY BUCK/JERK/HOP WHEN TOWING A LOAD. THE PROBLEM OCCURS IN THIRD GEAR MOST COMMONLY. UPON ACCELERATION UP A HILL, THE TRUCK HAS AN EXTREME BUCK. THE RPMS RAISE AND LOWER UP TO 400 RPM. FORD HAS DETERMINED THIS ACTION TO BE NORMAL. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOND TO STOP THIS, IS TO LET ALL THE WAY OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. THE TRUCK WILL THEN START THIS AGAIN, IN WHICH I HAVE TO LET OFF. ON A SAFETY CONCERN, THIS OCCURS ON MOST ENTRANCE RAMPS TO INTERSTATES, WHICH MAKES FOR A HAZARDOUS CONDITION TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, BECAUSE BASICALLY FORD IS TELLING ME NOT TO TRY TO ACCELERATE PAST SECOND GEAR UNTIL I AM NO LONGER HEADED UPHILL. FORDS FIRST SUGGESTION WAS THE TRAILER TYPE, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT (TSB 07-6-09), WHICH ONLY CONCERNED GOOSENECK TRAILERS. THE TRUCK ALSO DOES THIS ACTION WITH A BUMPER PULL TRAILER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN 11 TIMES SINCE JULY 2007, AND THE SERVICE MEN TELL ME THEY CAN FEEL IT, THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. FORD THEN CAME TO THE RESULT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TRUCK. AT 8000 MILES, THE TRUCK HAD A BAD INJECTOR, AFTER REPLACING THIS, THE DEALERSHIP "UPDATED THE COMPUTER." SINCE THAT TIME THE TRUCK HAS NOT HAD AS MUCH POWER AS WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME SOMETIMES THESE UPDATES WILL CHANGE THE OUTPUT OF THE TRUCK, OR DECREASE THE POWER. THE TRUCK NOW HAS A LEAK IN THE REAREND, WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE A RESULT OF THE BUCKING AND JERKING FORD IS CALLING NORMAL. *TR
