The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH, the transmission shift indicator light suddenly began to switch before the vehicle abruptly jolted forward and stopped driving. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was damaged during the incident and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,330. Consumer has tried working with FORD directly, but they continue to insist that FORD does NOT add VINS to recalls. They insist that this is done by the NHTSA. The NHTSA insists that VINS are added to a recall by the manufacturer. We’re caught between a rock and a hard place. All we are asking is that someone look at the specific details of our FORD F150 to confirm that this vehicle should have been included in the recall and reimburse us the ~$7400 we paid to repair this truck with very low mileage. Also, sister-in-law wrote out the complaint trying to assist them for reimbursement for out of pocket costs.

Suspension “DEATH WOBLE” Traveling on the highway 68 mph and had no steering with the steering wheel shaking violently and moved me over one full lane before I could slow down and get it under control again. Cars swerved all around me to avoid crashing and my life along with my passenger and other drivers were all put at risk. This is just crazy! Car just came out of the dealer for service for vibration and all they did was an alignment and charged me and said it all looks good and that shaking/vibration is normal. I lease this car and pay 600 a month and can’t even drive it. Ford needs to be forced to fix this issue, this is killing people.

Twice my truck has shook violently when I hit a Pot hole or bump traveling above 50MPH. The shaking is so bad, your scared, needing to slow down quickly or even stop to get it to stop. It's a danger to the occupants and the surrounding vehicles when this occurs.

The Truck Violently shook when I hit a bump on the highway. I've never felt anything like that before. My wife and I we're shocked as what the truck was doing. I slowed down immediately and pulled over on the shoulder of the highway and walked around the truck to see what happened. Didn't see anything wrong, so I got in the truck and drove to the house.

STEERING
At about 45,000 miles on truck the death wobble shake in the steering started. Took to dealer and waited for steering damper. At 49,000 miles the steering damper was replaced by Ford. The wobble never completely stopped and At about 53,000 miles on truck it came back to what it was and is getting worse, at 57,000 miles on truck now it wobbles and shakes all the time over any little bump or uneven spots on the road. Ford is refusing to fix, even though their steering damper never fixed it.

While driving 60mph or faster and drive over a little bump or a highway over pass, bridge with expansion things, the steering wheel and front tires shake , wobble uncontrollably . You have to hold on for dear life and slow down and pullover. Well that's not that easy on the interstate. It happened last night on the interstate and scared the living daylite out of me. Now I'm afraid to drive the truck over mph55. Ford supposedly fixed the front end when it had 15,000. miles. I'm calling the ford dealer monday.

I was going 65 MPH in center lane, hit a pothole. The right front wheel began to vibrate wildly. I thought it was going to fall off. I slammed my brakes and veered sharply right to reach the breakdown lane. We were nearly in a violent collision. The car behind me slammed his breaks, leaving skid marks, the car in the lane to my right was forced into the breakdown lane, also leaving skid marks. We had 200 miles to home which we drove slowly without further incident. I had to replace: tie rod ends, steering damper, ball joint, stabilizer bar. Truck needed an alignment. $1008.37. 4 months later, I hit a pothole. The LEFT front tire vibrated wildly. Now I knew what do do.

I purchased a 2013 Ford F-250 and ever since I bought it it had speed wobbles on the freeway. Took it into the dealership numerous times and they did nothing, I filed a lemon law complaint, they didn't help and again Ford did nothing!!!! Bought a 2015 been dealing with this same issue since I purchased it, on the freeway you feel your teeth are going to come out and rattle out of your skull! I just been dealing with it but the other night 10-06-21 I almost got into a major accident and almost died and that's when I thought I better look and see if there's any class action law suit going on against Ford, knowing this problem exist and not lifting a finger to fix the issue! Thank you! [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STEERING
I JUST PURCHASED THIS BEAUTIFUL F 250 TRUCK 2008, FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY IN CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA. I WENT OUT ON THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED THE TRUCK HAD A MAJOR STEERING PROBLEM. IT IS DESCRIBED AS I CANNOT KEEP IT IN THE LANE I AM TRAVELING IN BECAUSE OF STEERING WOBBLE AND PLAYING THE STEERING AND WANDERS INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC. I ALSO CHECKED UP UNDERNEATH AND THERE WERE LOOSE TIE ROD BRACKETS AND OTHER COMPONENTS THAT I DO NOT KNOW THE NAMES OF. IT'S A REAL SHAME WHEN THE SALESMAN YOU PURCHASED IT FROM WHEN I TEXTED THIS TO HIM WILL NOT CALL OR TEXT BACK, VERY DECEITFUL.
