ENGINE
EGL COOLER FAILURE, WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE CAUSED BY COOLANT ENTERING INTO THE EMISSION SYSTEM. "ON ALL 6.0 ENGINES THE EGL COOLER WILL FAIL." THIS PROBLEM IS SO "MASSIVE" WITH SO MANY "MASSIVE COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS" THAT FORD HAS DONE TWO THINGS 1) DESIGNED A BY-PASS KIT AND 2) RE-DESIGNED THE ENGINE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM (6.7 ENGINE). WHEN THE EGL COOLER FAILS, FORD OFFERS TWO SOLUTIONS TO THE CUSTOMER 1) INSTALL THE BY-PASS KIT AND THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED (AT A COST OF $4500) OR 2) REPAIR THE EGL COOLER TO BRING IT "BACK TO FACTORY" (AT A COST OF $4300). FORD TELLS CUSTOMERS THAT IF OPTION 2 IS CHOSEN, THE "EGL COOLER WILL FAIL AGAIN". ALL QUOTES USED ARE DIRECT QUOTES FROM FORD'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. *TR

STEERING
PRONOUNCED AND SEVERE SHIMMY AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TRAVELING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROADWAY AND ON UNEVEN DRIVING SURFACES. FORD DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED A TRACKING BAR AND THE STEERING DAMPER. THESE REPAIRS HELPED BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE THE ISSUE. NEW OEM TIRES WERE INSTALLED 2,000 MILES AFTER THE FORD REPAIR. AS OF DEC 2013 THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 78,578 MILES WHICH IS ONLY 5,000 MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND 3,000 MILES SINCE NEW OEM TIRES AND THE SAME SEVERE SHIMMY AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS OCCURRING AGAIN. IN DEC 2013 I RECEIVED SPECIAL FIELD ACTION LETTER 09L02 FROM FORD CONCERNING THIS VERY ISSUE. HAVING COMPLIED WITH ALL POINTS IN THE SPECIAL FIELD ACTION LETTER 09L02 THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS AND CONTINUES TO WORSEN. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH A RECALL NOTICE AND THE 09L02 LETTER IS INDICATIVE THAT THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F250 TRUCK, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FORD'S DEATH WOBBLE' ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY, THE FRONT END STARTS WOBBLING TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO BRAKE AND PULL OVER JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN THIS DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURS, IT CAUSES THE DRIVER HAS TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL AND APPLY BRAKING JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN!!!! *TR RECENTLY, I HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS WITH FORD'S FRONT END AND THEIR SOLUTIONS TO FIX THE FRONTS ENDS. AS USUAL, FORD COMES UP WITH EXCUSES AND NOT A SOLUTION TO REPAIR THEIR PRODUCTS. THERE IS PLENTY OF DOCUMENTATION (U-TUBE VIDEO) ON-LINE DOCUMENTING THE SERIOUS OF THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS TIME THAT YOUR AGENCY TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND SEE THAT FORD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
I WAS TOWING A CAR HAULER AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON I-94 OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, IL WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO VEER SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AND CROSS INTO THE OTHER LANE. I TRIED TO CORRECT STEER TO THE LEFT AND MY VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. I BEGAN TO CROSS INTO THE NEXT LANE OF TRAFFIC AND I BEGAN TO SPIN THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN HARDER TO THE LEFT WITH NO CHANGE IN DIRECTION. I REALIZED THAT I HAD A LOSS OF STEERING AND BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE BARRIER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ENDED UP CROSSING FOUR LANES OF MODERATELY HEAVY LABOR DAY TRAFFIC WITH ZERO STEERING CONTROL AND CAME TO REST WITHIN INCHES OF THE RETAINING BARRIER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *JS

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
GOING ALONG AROUND 55 TO 60 MPH AND RUN ACROSS VERY MILD BUMP AND THE FRONT WHEELS WILL BEGIN TO SHIMMY SO BAD IT JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW WAY DOWN TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FEELING AND IS NOT TIRE PRESSURE LIKE FORD CLAIMS. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
I WOULD LIKE TO OFFICIALLY SUBMIT A COMPLAINT ABOUT OUR FORD F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH IT AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT. WE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED! WE ARE EXPERIENCING TURBULENT WOBBLING WITH THIS TRUCK AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT NORMAL! THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 DAYS AGO ON MAY 26, 2013! I HAVE CHILDREN AND FEEL THAT OUR LIVES WERE ESPECIALLY IN DANGER WHEN WE RODE IN THIS TRUCK AS WE THOUGHT THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND NO LONGER EXISTED. AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WE DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY AND OUR TRUCK SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING DANGEROUSLY OUT OF CONTROL! THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN, OTHERWISE WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! THERE WAS TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE AND WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT! THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW HOURS LATER WHEN WE AGAIN DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENOUGH OF THESE THREATENING EPISODES AND I AM VERY CONCERNED AS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PEOPLE CAN AND WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER THIS IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS TO SUBMIT A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND THEY MERELY TOLD ME TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS UNRESOLVED MY ISSUE. I TRUST THAT YOU WILL TAKE THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AS LIVES ARE AT STAKE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING MY 2007 F250 SD AND HIT A BUMP, FRONT END STARTED TO SHIMMY. SLOWED DOWN AND THE SHIMMY STOPPED. HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY GIVING INFORMATION ABOUT THE FRONT END SHIMMY. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, IT HAS OCCURED NUMEROUS TIMES. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 87000 MILES AND THE SHIMMY HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY WHEN I HIT BUMPS/DIPS IN THE ROAD. DIESEL SHOP TELLS ME TO KEEP TIRES INFLATED PROPERLY, ROTATE AND BALANCE TIRES AS WELL AS PROPER ALIGNMENT AND HAVE THE STEERING DAMPNER REPLACED. STEERING DAMPNER IS BRAND NEW (3 MONTHS OLD), TIRES ARE AT PROPER INFLATION AND BALANCED AS WELL AS ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE FRONT END STILL VIBRATES, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY TO WHERE IT IS TOUGH TO CONTROL UNTIL SPEED DROPS UNDER 40 MPH. STILL WAITING ON A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AS THE SHIMMY IS DAILY AND IS GETTING WORSE AND I GET THE SAME TEXTBOOK ANSWER FROM FORD EVERYTIME I CALL (TIRES, INFLATION, ALIGNMENT, STEERING DAMPNER). I'M AFRAID THAT THE VIBRATION WILL GET TO THE POINT THAT PARTS WILL START BECOMING LOOSE/BREAK AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HIGH SPEED WHEEL OSCILLATION OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF INTERSTATE 275 AROUND CINCINNATI, OHIO. I HIT A BUMP ON THE EXIT OF THE INTERSTATES BRIDGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK REALLY BAD LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER LAST YEAR WARNING ME ABOUT THIS CONDITION. I DID NOT THINK I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT CRASH THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE OSCILLATION OCCURRED. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS FOR THE F250 HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR *JS
