ENGINE
I WAS PULLING A 3 HORSE TRAILER HOME FROM AN EVENT LOCATED IN JACKSON, MS . WHEN WE REACHED MCCOMB, MS THE TRUCK DIED. WE WERE RUNNING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THAT HAPPENED, POWER STEERING WAS GONE AND TRUCK HAD TO ROLL TO A STOP. I PUT THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON, WAITED A MINUTE AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE TRUCK. IT CRANKED AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THE MECHANICS ARE CHANGING PARTS BUT CANNOT SEEM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN FRUSTRATION, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM FOR 03-07 POWERSTROKE DIESELS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, A DEFECT IN THE ENGINEERING AND THAT FORD SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE INFORMED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK STATED VIOLENTLY SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID AS WELL WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE SHAKING STOPPED AS I REDUCED SPEED TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. VERY DANGEROUS , AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT OTHER CARS TWICE. AFRAID TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY!! NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!! *TR ## VIN PASSED ##

WHEELS
2006 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY CREW CAB 4X4 WITH FACTORY 20X8 ALLOY WHEELS. RT FRONT WHEEL CRACKED WITH NO IMPACT. CRACK IS APROX 10" LONG AND RUNS JUST BELOW THE BEAD FOR ABOUT 10" DID NOT LOOSE AIR. I WAS TURNING RT AND FELT A STRANGE JOLT KIND OF LIKE THE TIRE ROLLING OFF A SMALL ROCK. ONLY FELT IT ONCE. CONTINUED DRIVING TO WORK. LATER INSPECTED THE WHEEL AND FOUND THE CRACK. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THESE WHEELS. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POSTINGS ON SIMILAR WHEEL CRACKS ON INTERNET FORUMS. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS IN THE 85000 MILE RANGE. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AT 60 MILES AN HOUR. SOMETIMES A BUMP CAUSES IT, OTHER TIMES IT OCCURS WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING STRAIGHT. HAVE HAD REGULAR SERVICE AT FORD DEALER, BUT THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE YEARS. HAVE ALERTED THEM OF THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET AS "FORD F250 FRONT END SHAKE" OR MORE CONCERNINGLY AS THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE." IT'S NOT A TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE, AS I'VE ONLY USED PROPERLY INFLATED FACTORY TIRES THAT WERE DEALER INSTALLED. PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, AND THE SHAKE HAS NOW MADE THE TRUCK VIRTUALLY UNDRIVABLE AT 60 MPH. PLEASE GOOGLE THE ISSUE. IT'S REAL. LOVE MY FORD, BUT MY FAMILY COMES FIRST, AND THE WOBBLE IS TOO SCARY TO IGNORE. JUST PAID ANOTHER $2800 TO TRY ANOTHER FIX (TRACK BAR AND BALL JOINTS), PLUS ANOTHER $2000 FOR NEW TIRES. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT WITH THIS. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
I HAVE OVER 118 PAGES OF REPAIRS DEALING FROM ELECTRICAL, SUSPENSION, ENGINE FAILURE, TURBO, FLUID LEAKAGE, OIL COOLER FAILURE. EJECTORS, GLOW PLUGS AND COUNTING. THEY CONTINUE TO REOCCUR TIME AFTER TIME AND DEALER WILL NOT COVER. I MET ALOT OF CONSUMERS THAT HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT FORD HAS SUED THE DESIGNER OF THE 6.0 ENGINE AND WON BILLIONS BUT WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO ASSIST THE CONSUMER. THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS, IF YOU KNOW THAT IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH A PROBLEM WHY NOT ASSIST THE CONSUMER IN CORRECTING INSTEAD OF DOING A PATCH JOB. THEY WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THE RIGHT THING UNLESS SOMEONE FORCE THEM TO DO SO. THANKS *TR

FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY I GOT THE TRUCK WHEN YOU GO DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 OR HIGHER THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND PULLS THE TRUCK TO THE LEFT. AND IT DOES IT TO THIS DAY 6YRS LATER. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND STATED IN A LETTER TO ME FROM FORD THAT 2006 F250 TRUCKS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IS DANGEROUS. BUT THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR IT AS OF THIS DATE. IT WAS DANGEROUS WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2006 AND IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TODAY. YOU COULD POSSIBLY GO INTO ANOTHER LANE AND HIT ANOTHER CAR OR CROSS OVER INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. *TR

THE TIRE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY FLAT WAS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN PULLED OVER, I DISCOVERED A 6" LONG CRACK ABOUT 1/16" WIDE. WENT BACK TO DEALER AGAIN AND HE SAID THE SAME THING, "I CANNOT HELP AND FORD DOES NOT THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
TRUCK HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT. A SHIMMY AND VIBRATION WHENEVER GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF IMPERFECTION ON THE ROADWAY. FROM A CONSTANT VIBRATION UP TO A SEVERE ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SHIMMY. TRUCK WILL EVEN HOP SIDEWAYS WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL PATCH JOB ON THE HWY. I HAVE BOUGHT NEW TIRES, KEEP MY TIRE PRESSURE CONSTANT AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP IF A FIX IS KNOWN. THE LAST SET OF TIRES WERE RUINED DUE TO CUPPING. AT $1300.00 A SET, I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES, BUT MORE THEN THAT, I WOULD HATE TO BE THE ONE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF FORD HAS COME UP WITH A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
