TAILGATE STILL RANDOMLY OPENS AFTER FORD ISSUED RECALL TO CORRECT. SEEMS TO OCCUR PRIMARILY WHEN TRUCK IS PARKED ON HILL WITH EBRAKE SET. WHEN RELEASING EMERGENCY BRAKE ON A HILL, THE RELEASE IS QUITE VIOLENT IN TERMS OF THE TRUCK VIBRATING/SHUDDERING. IT APPEARS THE PROXIMITY OF THE REMOTE OPEN TAILGATE SWITCH AND THE VIBRATION WITH THE EBRAKE HANDLE RELEASE, MAY BE ACTIVATING THE REMOTE SWITCH. TRUCK HAS ALREADY HAD THE FORD ISSUED TAILGATE OPENING RECALL APPLIED WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE.

STEERING
WITH ONLY 39470 MILES I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT APPROX 60 MIKE PER HOUR THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY....I HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO 25 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. THERE WAS A TRUCK IN BACK OF ME AND HE HAD TO SWERVE TO GO AROUND ME. I DID BRING IT RIGHT TO MY DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER PER BULLETIN 20N04. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS JUST A TEMP REPAIR AND THAT THIS WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN.

STEERING
DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING, HAD TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT (ALMOST REAR ENDED). AFTER SLOWING DOWN STEERING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE SECTION OF FREEWAY IS BRAND NEW CONCRETE. THE VIOLENT SHAKING HAS HAPPENED FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 TO 80 MPH ON A DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROAD SURFACES. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A SMALL BUMP (LIKE GOING OVER AN OVERPASS WHEN ROAD SURFACE CHANGES). THIS SCARES THE HOLY CRAP OUT OF YOU HOPING YOU CAN CONTROL THE TRUCK WITHOUT BEING HIT, DUE TO THE SUDDEN SLOW DOWN YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL.

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
I HAD THE TAILGATE RECALL COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, I WAS STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE TAILGATE FALLING WHILE DRIVING. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO FORD AGAIN TO REPORT THE ISSUE. THE FORD DEALER WORKED ON THE VEHICLE FOR 2-3 DAYS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME AGAIN STATING IT HAD BEEN FIXED. THE RECALL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE TAILGATE OPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, CITY STREET OR WHILE TURNING.

SUSPENSION
WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75MPH TOWING A 7,000LB TRAILER, WENT ACROSS AN OVERPASS THAT HAD SOME BUMPS AT THE TRANSITION BACK TO THE REGULAR ROADWAY (NORMAL ROAD BUMPS, NOT BIG AT ALL). AFTER HITTING THE BUMPS, MY TRUCKS FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY AND CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO THE LEFT LANE UNCONTROLLABLY WHICH CAUSED AN 18 WHEELER TO HAVE TO MOVE LEFT AND ALMOST LEAVE THE PAYMENT TO AVOID ME HITTING HIM. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT A "DEATH WOBBLE" AND MY CLOSE IN COUNTER OF ALMOST BEING KILLED OR KILLING THE 18 WHEELER DRIVER, I DECIDED I HAD TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, ADDRESSED, AND FIXED BY FORD. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THIS EVENTUALLY WILL KILL SOMEONE, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON IDAHO HIGHWAY 48 AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. WHEN I HIT A PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, NOT A POT HOLE, JUST UNEVEN SURFACE, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY AND SHOOK ME OFF THE ROAD. I WAS TOTALLY UNABLE TO CONTROL IT AND ALMOST WENT INTO A CANAL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE IN THIS CONDITION.

STEERING
OWENED A 2002 F350 NEVER HAD STEERING ISSUES. BOUGHT 2018 F350 IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT FRONT-END SEEM TO HAVE SOMETHING OFF WITH IT. THAT CAME TO A EYE OPENING STEERING SHAKE AT 70 MPH PULLING A 40' 14K TRAILER, GOING INTO A CONNER ON INTERSTATE 84 IN OREGON THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN1500 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WITH NO CONTROL HOW I DON'T CRASH, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN INTERSTATE 15 IN AZ, INTERSTATE 40 AZ, INTERSTATE 90 WA ALL THESE WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 70 MPH PULLING A 40' TRAILER,AND OTHERS. WE'RE I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLEAN MY SHORTS!!!!! I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN 6 OR 7 TIMES FOR REPAIRS THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT IN AND SAY FRONT-END SHAKE SERVICE GUYS WOULD OH YEAH WE'D SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THIS IS AT 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS??? THEN I FIND OUT IT HAS A NAME (THE DEATH WOBBLE) WHICH FORD HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH SINCE THEY CHANGED FRONT-END DESIGN I THINK AROUND 2006. JUST GO TO YOU TUBE WATCH VIDEOS. HOW THEY LET A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SO LONG IS STUPID !!! HOW SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN KILLED DO TO THE ISSUE OR MAYBE THERE HAS ??? TO THIS DAY TRUCK ONLY HAS 19000 MILES ON IT AFRAID TO DRIVE OR WHEN I DO IT'S A BUTT PUCKER YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!! SPENT 78,000 ON A TRUCK THAT'S A DEATH MACHINE. I HAVE TRIED FOR A LEMON LAW FORD WILL NOT RESPOND. HOW THIS ISSUE HAS GONE ON SO LONG WITH OUT REMOVING THESE TRUCKS FROM THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM MAYBE WE JUST WAIT TILL ENOUGH PEOPLE DIE, AND FILE LAW SUITS, THEN FORD WILL SEE ITS CHEAPER TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THEN PAY SETTLEMENTS. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO A SERIOUS RECALL ON THESE.... THIS WILL PROBABLY GO TO MUTE EARS.
