STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE TRUCK REACTS VERY STRONGLY WHEN DRIVING 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR POOR ROAD SURFACE. THIS RESULTS IN STEERING PULLING TO ONE SIDE/VEERING, EXTREME VIBRATION AND SHAKING THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK. I HAVE TO HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE AND LIFT THE FOOT OFF THE GAS WHILST IT SETTLES DOWN TO DRIVING SMOOTHLY AND BACK IN CONTROL AGAIN. ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS REFERRED COMMONLY TO 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND MAKES ME CONCERNED RE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT / NOT BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED 6-8 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS SINCE MAR 2021 - IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE WITH A ROUGH SURFACE.

MY 2018 F250 HAS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE AS PEOPLE DESCRIBE IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING EVENT. THIS FRIDAY MAY 14TH 2021 IT WILL GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME TO BE FIXED. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN WAS 04/09/21 FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEATH WOBBLE CONSIST OF VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELING ABOVE 50 MPH. WE MUST BRAKE IMMEDIATELY AND SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, NOT ONLY FOR THE SHAKING BUT SLOWING DOWN THAT QUICKLY ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE HAULING A 35 FT CAMPER AS WELL. TODAY I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT FORD SAYS THIS IS A ONE TIME FIX. THE MOIST RECENT TIME THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED WAS 05/06/21 WHILE DRIVING TO LOUISVILLE KY. IT HAPPENED SIX TIMES ON THE WAY DOWN AND ONCE ON THE WAY HOME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON DRY NON WINDY EVENING AT 75MPH THE FRONT END STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKING "DEATH WOBBLE" THE SHAKING WAS TRANSFERED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY SIDE TO SIDE. I WAS IN FEAR I WAS GOING TO CRASH OR THE TRUCK SHAKE APART. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER VISUALIZING THE FRONT END AND TIRES I COULD FIND NO LOOSE OR BROKEN EQUIPMENT. ALL TIRE PRESSURE WAS WITHIN 2 LBS OF EACH OTHER. VEHICLE IS A 2017 FORD F250 XLT DIESEL WITH 85K MILES. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AND DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE ROADS HOME. I HAVE HAD NO RECENT WORK DONE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME. I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CP4 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE LEAVING VEHICLE DISABLED COMPLETELY AND A DRIVER WAS PUT AT RISK TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS PUMP FAILED COMPLETELY. HAD TO BE TOWED TO NEAREST SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS FAILURE IS A KNOWN FAILURE TO FORD. THIS PUMP WAS MADE FOR EUROPEAN GAS NOT AMERICAN GAS - DOES NOT LUBRICATE THE SYSTEM AS IT SHOULD. APPROX. EXPENSE IS $9,500.00 TO INSTALL THE DISASTER KIT (ABOUT $6,000) AND AT LEAST 26 MAN HOURS (LABOR) TO REPAIR AS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. NEED FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS THE DRIVER AND OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN A FATAL SITUATION SINCE THE VEHICLE LOSSES ALL POWER AND IS UNCONTROLLABLE AT THAT POINT. WE NEED REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR AS WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THAT THIS PUMP WAS IN THIS VEHICLE BY THE DEALER THAT SOLD US THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2017. Consumer stated CP4 High Pressure Fuel Pump failed and the expense repair was over $6,000 for the disaster kit.

SERVICE BRAKES
UNDER AN EMERGENCY STOP, TRAVELING STRAIGHT, MOVING AT OR NEAR 60 MPH, ON HIGHWAY, THREE PASSENGERS AND TOWING A SMALL CAMPING TRAILER (ABOUT #4000), THE FRONT SUSPENSION WENT INTO A VICIOUS SHAKE. RAPID AND SUSTAINED. THIS SHOOK THE ENTIRE TRUCK. THIS FREQUENCY OF THE SHAKE DID NOT CORRESPOND TO THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK AND CONTINUED EVEN AFTER THE TRUCK HAD SLOWED AND THE BRAKES WERE RELEASED.

APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WABBLE" WITH MY F250, IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I EXPERIENCED AN OSCILLATION IN THE FRONT WHEELS, CAUSING VIOLENT SHAKING, THAT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I STOPPED THE TRUCK. FORD TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUNROOF TRACKS CRACK AND BREAK, THUS MAKING THE SUNROOF INOPERABLE AND WATER WILL LEAK WHEN IT DOESN'T SEAL. THEY SENT OUT A SAFETY ALERT OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. BASICALLY IF YOUR IN THE 36K MILE PERIOD THEY WILL FIX. BUT IF YOU HAVE OVER(I HAD 42K) THEY OFFER A TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR. I HAVE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND 50% HAVE HAD SUNROOF ISSUES. I TOOK MY COMPLAINT TO FORD AND WAS TOLD KEEP MY REPAIR RECEIPT IN CASE THEY MAKE IT A RECALL.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ALONE E ON IL RT 64 AT ABOUT 2:45 PM WHEN I HIT A SERIES OF BUMPS ON ROAD THAT MADE THE FRONT END SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO BRAKE AND SLOW TO UNDER 20 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. AGAIN LATER THAT NIGHT AT ABOUT 8 PM COMING S ON IL RT 2 WITH CRUISE SET AT 55 MPH IT HAPPENED AGAIN HAD TO BRAKE/SLOW TO UNDER 20 MPH AGAIN. THIS TIME MY WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW WERE WITH TO EXPERIENCE IT. I HAVE NOTICED FRONT END BEING A LITTLE WISHY-WASHY AFTER HITTING BUMPS BUT THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO STIFFER SUSPENSION AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS THE CASE. VEHICLE HISTORY SO FAR- PURCHASED USED FROM WICKSTROM FORD. WENT THRU THEIR USED CAR INSPECTION BEFORE I COULD PURCHASE IT- NEW REAR TIRES AND BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ALL AROUND. WILL TRY GETTING IN TO HAVE CHECKED OUT AND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR STEERING DAMPER PERFORMED. HAVE PUT LESS THAN 600 MILES ON TRUCK SINCE PURCHASING.

I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN 4/24/2021 AND 4/25/2021. IT IS VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION AND TRUCK VIBRATION. IT HAPPENED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 65-75MPH. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 32000 MILES ON IT. FORD HAS RECALLED THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPENER. I'M AFRAID THIS REPLACEMENT WILL ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO COVER COSTS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. I PLANNED ON KEEPING THIS TRUCK FOR A WHILE BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOWING MY GOOSENECK TRAILER, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT COULD HAVE INJURED OR KILLED MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OR OTHER MOTORISTS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT, BUT I CAN'T UPLOAD IT HERE. THE FORD TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS THE WORST HE HAD SEEN.
