STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ON AND OVERPASS/ EXIT RAMP AND PASSED OVER A STEEL DIVIDER ON THE HIGHWAY. UPON DOING SO I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING ON THE TRUCK AND HAD TO DECELERATE AND MOVE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. I RECEIVED AN INFORMATION BULLETIN FROM FORD ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL "STEERING WOBBLE" AND MADE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL OF THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND FORD SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED. THERE ARE SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH FORD IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY VEHICLE HAS WHAT HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" OR OSCILATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AT 30-50 MILES AN HOUR AFTER HITTING A A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY, NEARLY THROWING MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY. FORD HAS SUGGESTED TIRE PRESSURE AS THE CAUSE. I HAVE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE DOES NOT HELP. THERE 1000'S OF FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THE ISSUES NEED TO BE RECALLED BY FORD FOR A PROPER FIX. *TR

STEERING
UPON MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN AND RETURNING ON COURSE, THE STEERING BEGAN TO OSCILLATE AS IF NOT BEING ABLE TO CENTER ITSELF, WOBBLING, FLOPPING RIGHT, LEFT. I STOPPED, TURNED WHEELS RIGHT AND LEFT UNDER RESISTANCE. I WAS ABLE TO WORK OUT THE WOBBLING AND CONTINUED. THERE WERE SIMILAR OCCURRENCES LATER. AT 1000 MILES LATER, I PULLED OUT FROM A STOP SIGN ON HARD LEFT TURN, WENT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT, AND STEERING LOCKED ON RETURN. I TURNED LEFT THEN RIGHT TO UNLOCK IT AND IT DID UNLOCK, BUT WOBBLED SO BAD I COULDN'T DRIVE OVER 10 MPH, UNTIL I STOPPED, TURNED MOTOR OFF, STARTED AGAIN, AND WORKED OUT THE RESISTANCE. I CAN USUALLY FEEL WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK, CAN'T AFFORD REPAIR JUST YET. HELP! *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH AND WENT OVER A EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT IT RIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP, I THOUGHT I HAD A FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT,NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPENER ON IT AND SAID TRY IT, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ANY BETTER, THEN THE NEXT FIX IS TO PUT ON A BIGGER STEERING WHEEL SO I CAN HOLD ON BETTER WHEN IT HAPPENS. LOOK ON LINE THIS KNOWN AS THE "FORD WHEEL OF DEATH" THERE IS A BUNCH OF VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ABOUT IT AND SOME ACTUALLY SHOW IT HAPPEN. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE FORD PAY FOR A PROPER FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WHEELS:RIM
THE VERY EXPENSIVE RIMS HAVE A LARGE CRACK IN AT LEAST ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT OF COURSE THEY ARE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE UNIT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT INVESTIGATING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ONE I COULD TALK TO. MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE AND GETTING THE RESPONSE THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND NOTHING PENDING. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH SO MANY OCCURRING AND FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I DISCOVERED MY RIM FAILURE RIGHT AFTER I RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO COLORADO, HAULING MY CAMPER. IF IT HAD FAILED DURING THIS TRIP I FEEL CERTAIN MY SON AND I WOULD NOW BE DEAD. PLEASE HELP US IN GETTING FORD TO LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER. EVERYONE WHO HAS GONE TO A DEALER OR CALLED FORD IS BEING TOLD THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF AN ISSUE AND THIS IS JUST NOT TRUE. CHECK THE WEBSITE WWW.NCFMA.ORG/NEWS/2010/03/02/SAFETY-ALERT-10-FORD-VEHICLES-STEEL-RIMSWHEELS/COMMENT-PAGE-1 FOR YOURSELF. THERE ARE SEVERAL WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION
I JUST RECIEVED A LETTER FROM FORD (LITERATURE PROGRAM 09L02) TALKING ABOUT THE SHIMMY CONDITION ON FORD TRUCKS. THEY SAY TO CORRECT YOUR TIRE PRESSURE. I HAVE MY TIRE PRESSURE SET BY THE LOCAL DEALER ON A REGULAR BASIS AND BELIEVE ME THAT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PREVENT THIS SHIMMY PROBLEM. AT 40 TO 60 MPH IT CAN ACTUALLY THROW THE TRUCK SIDEWAYS. THIS LETTER (09L02) TO ME IS JUST A COVER UP OF A REAL PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE NEW. *TR

STEERING
ANYTIME I PULL A TRAILER MY TRUCK SHAKES REALLY BAD. IT SHAKES MODERATELY WITHOUT A TRAILER. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2007 F-350 HARLEY DAVIDSON CC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MOSTLY IN CORNERS BUT ALSO ON STRAIGHTAWAY, THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKE VIOLENTLY, ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. TO GET THIS TO STOP, I HAVE TO SLOW WAY DOWN AND ALMOST STOP. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY REPLACED SOME OF THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT ABOUT 100 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SHAKING STARTED AGAIN. I SUBSEQUENTLY CALLED THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT THEY COULD DO, AS THE TRUCK IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED, AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY RUNNING OUT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR TRUCKS. THE SEVERITY OF THE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL SAFELY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE AT FORD TO LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T AGREE THAT FORD WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE, HOWEVER I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED. WHETHER OR NOT I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS, AND THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED BY THE DEALER. *TR
