SEVERE SHAKING AND VIBRATION AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW AND USUALLY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50 MPH. THE VIOLENT SHAKING ONLY SUBSIDES WHEN SPEED IS GREATLY REDUCED IE BELOW 30MPH. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD.

DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AS THE TRUCK HIT A FREEWAY OVERPASS BUMP AND THEN BEGAN A VIOLENT SHAKE. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO HOLD THE SHAKING STEERING WHEEL AND BAKE TO A NEAR STOP. ACCELERATING TO FREEWAY SPEEDS IT SHOOK AS IF IT WANTED TO WOBBLE AGAIN BUT I REDUCED SPEEDS DOWN TO 55. I HAVE GOOD MICHELIN TIRES AND NO LOAD. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE 2014 GAS MODEL I HAD AND NOW I AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS ONE. JANUARY 2021

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WITHIN 8,000 MILES THE VEHICLE COULD NOT GO OVER 45 MPH AND HIT A BUMP WITHOUT THE FRONT TIRES AND ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE CARS AROUND ME WOULD SCATTER AND I'D HAVE TO PULL OVER TO STOP THE VIOLENT SHAKING. I'VE HAD A 2005 F350 BEFORE AND WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THE KNOWN PROBLEM, "DEATH WOBBLE". DEALERSHIP ADJUSTED MY CAMBER SO THE OUTSIDE TIRES WORE OUT IN A FEW MONTHS. AFTER 16,000 MILES THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND THEY BLAMED THE BALDING TIRES WHICH THEY CREATED WITH THEIR CAMBER ADJUSTMENT AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER I GOT HOME I ALSO REALIZED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER INTENTIONALLY DID NOT PUT MY COMPLAINT ON THE WORK ORDER. HE KNEW I WAS AWARE THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH FORD TRUCKS AND I KNEW THE HISTORY AND OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FED ME THE SAME LINE THAT READ FROM HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THE TRUCK HAD TO BE ALIGNED EVERY 6 MONTHS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 20 YEARS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

ENGINE
I WAS TRAVELING UP HORSESHOE BEND (IDAHO). I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BACKFIRE, BUT TOWARDS THE FRONT. AFTER I HEARD THE NOISE, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, FLAMES JUST EXPLODED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IN JUST A MATTER OF MINUTES, MY TRUCK AND 5TH WHEEL WERE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE PASSENGER AND I WERE TREATED IN FIRST RESPONDER VEHICLE FOR SMOKE INHALATION.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TERRIBLE SHAKING WHEN CRUISING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. I MAINLY NOTICE THE SHAKING AROUND 45 MPH, AND AGAIN AROUND 60 MPH. I AM ABLE TO CONTROL THE SHAKING BY EITHER ACCELERATING TO AROUND 70 MPH, OR BRAKING TO BELOW 40 MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD SOMETIMES THAT I FEEL LIKE I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IF I DON'T SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET I AM ON AS LONG AS I AM GOING FAST OR SLOW ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY.

CURRENTLY FILED A CLAIM ABOUT "DEATH WOBBLE" ND I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND GOT IT "FIXED" AT A DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE 47K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND EVEN AFTER GETTING IT FIXED, I HIT A REPAIRED POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOT DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN AT 70 MPH. AT THAT SPEED, THERE WAS ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS WHERE YOU HAVE LITERALLY NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. MY ONLY SAVING GRACE WAS THE PERSON BEHIND ME ON THIS HIGHWAY WHO PUT THEIR HAZARDS ON AND HELD TRAFFIC BACK AS IT WAS PEAK TRAVEL TIME.

STEERING
AT 70MPH, ON THE INTERSTATE, WE WENT OVER SOME GROOVES IN THE PAVEMENT. THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT MY HUSBAND COULDN'T STEER. HE RAPIDLY DECELERATED, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER. WE WERE CONVINCED THAT WE HAD HAD MULTIPLE TIRES BLOW OUT. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME OF THE MORNING, OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I NORMALLY HAUL A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH HORSES, SO THANKFUL THIS WASN'T THE CASE THIS TIME.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON US HWY 395 NORTHBOUND AT BUCKEYE RD IN MINDEN NV IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE FADING WHILE STOPPING FOR RED LIGHT. WHILE STOPPED THE TRUCK WAS LURCHING FORWARD AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY STEP ON BRAKE AGGRESSIVELY TO KEEP IT FROM ENTERING INTERSECTION. I PUT IT IN PARK WHILE WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT AND AS I PUT IN DRIVE IT REVVED UP AS IT PAST REVERSE AND SLOWED IN NEUTRAL AND REVVED AGAIN AS IT HIT DRIVE. IT CONTINUED TO LURCH AND JERK WHEN PUTTING IT INTO GEAR AS I DROVE IT HOME FROM CARSON CITY NV. THIRTY MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH DETERMINED TO BE P054F (EXCESSIVE FUEL PRESSURE). I CALLED FORD TWICE AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THE DIESEL TRUCK WAS 5/100000, ON THE POWERTRAIN AS WELL AS THE ENGINE AND SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I HAD IT TOWED TO CAPITAL FORD IN CARSON CITY NV(NEAREST DEALER). THE DEALER CALLED ME ADVISING THAT IT WAS A FAILED TORQUE CONVERTER AT A OWNER PAY OF $4100.00. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND ERROR CODE TO FIND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE EXACT SAME TRUCK COMBO. 6.7L W/TORQSHIFT6 TRANS. FORD ISSUED A SSM # 45540 FOR THE PROBLEM. ONE OWNER WITH THE SAME TRUCK OVER TWO MONTHS IN THE FORD SHOP FINALLY GOT FORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH HE HAD 78K ON THE TRUCK. ACCORDING TO A SHOP TECH AT BEYER FORD IN MORRISTOWN NJ NAMED KEITH BROWNING STATED ON A THREAD (FORD TRUCK ENTHUSIAST) THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 F-SUPER DUTY AND F650-F750 SINCE OCTOBER OF 2015. I HAVE MADE FOUR CALLS TO FORD SINCE 08-20-20 TO 08-24-20 WITH A CASE # CAS 27293338 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL OR EMAIL BACK. MEANWHILE THE TRUCK SITS AT THE DEALER WHO STATED YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK IT OUT WITH FORD. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT HOME AS IT IS NOT SAFE. THE TORQUE OF THE DIESEL ENGINE COULD OVER POWER THE BRAKES LAUNCHING ME INTO AN INTERSECTION OR VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. .

SEVERAL EVENTS DURING ACCELERATION AFTER SLOWING (AS FOR A LIGHT THAT TURNED GREEN WHILE APPROACHING) THE ENGINE GOES TO FULL THROTTLE (MORE POWER THAN NORMALLY AVAILABLE) AND IT REQUIRES FULL HARD BRAKING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, AFTER AN AUDIBLE "POP" IT RESPONDS. THE HAND BOOK ADDRESSES THIS BRIEFLY, THE DEALER GIVES NO ANSWERS AND STATES THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE FROM A FLOOR MAT ( THIS WOULD ONLY RESTRICT THE PEDAL GOING FULL ANYWAY). I HAVE CREDIBLE WITNESS TO THIS EVENT AND OTHER BACKGROUND IS THIS ENGINE WAS REBUILT BY FORD AFTER SEIZING UP AT 7900 MILES AND HAD NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS SINCE INCLUDING FUEL SYSTEM AND AT LEAST 7 CAB REMOVALS.
