STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON I-90 IN OHIO AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, I STRUCK A SMALL POTHOLE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I BUMPED THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING GOT EVEN WORSE AND STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO STOP. I DROVE THE TRUCK AFTERWARDS APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES HOME. I WAS CAREFUL TO AVOID BUMPS OR HOLES, BUT BRIDGE SEAMS CAUSED A SIMILIAR PROBLEM MANY TIMES, ALTHOUGH NOT AS VIOLENT AS THE FIRST TIME. FORD HAS A SERVICE NOTIFICATION THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT FEEL LIKE A DAMPENER PROBLEM. I'LL ALLOW THEM TO DO IT, BUT SUSPECT I'LL HAVE MORE ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-75 I NOTICED MY HUSBANDS FRONT TIRES WOBBLING AND SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN LESS THAN 30 MILES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WE HAVE HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED MANY TIMES TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT IT STILL PERSISTS. THIS IS SOMETHING FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR. IT IS PUTTING OUR LIVES AND OTHERS IN DANGER.

THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT 65 MPHON INTERSTATE 40 EAST JUST BEFORE EXIT 24 IN NC. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BUT I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS COMMON ON THESE TRUCKS AND IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I HAVE JUST OVER 51,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. IT IS COMPLETELY STOCK LIKE IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. IT THEN DID THIS WOBBLE TWO MORE TIMES ON LESS THAN 2 MILES. I AM REALLY GLAD NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME TOO CLOSE AS I HAD TO,BRAKE VERY QUICKLY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 F250 THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT 50 MPH. TRUCK WAS WOBBLING ALL OVER AND TO BEGIN QUICK DECELERATION AND SLIGHT BRAKING. ONCE TRUCK DROPPED TO ABOUT 20 MPH THE SYMPTOMS STOPPED. LOOKED OVER TRUCK AND SAW NO OBVIOUS ISSUES . I DROVE SLOWLY TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHECKED OVER FRONT END AND STATED WOULD NEED TRACTION ROD, STABILIZER AND BALL JOINTS AS THIS IS KNOWN ISSUES ON 2005-2019 SUPER DUTY VEHICLES. FORD DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALL OR ISSUES BUT COULD CHECK IT OUT. IF THE OTHER GARAGE WAS CORRECTED IT WOULD AROUND $800 TO 900 TO REPAIR. AS I LEFT AND MADE RIGHT TURN IT AGAIN SHIMMIED BADLY AND I RETURN TO DEALER. THEY SUGGESTED LEAVING TRUCK AND THEY COULD GET TO IT IN A FEW DAYS. I FEEL THIS UNACCEPTABLE FROM FORD FOR A OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HAS THE NHTSA BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND IS A RECALL TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER LARGE INVESTMENT IN ORDER? THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT CHEAP AND FORD TOUTS TEH MOTO, BUILT FORD TOUGH> PLEASE RESEARCH AND ADVISE IF THERE IS A RECOURSE FOR THE CONSUMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAFETY ISSUES.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TWICE NOW WHEN WE HAVE BEEN ON I75 IN BRANDON, FL , WE CAME OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AT 60 OR 65 MPH AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND HORRIFYING. BOTH TIMES WE HAD TO PULL OVER ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO COMPLETE STOP. WE THOUGHT WE HAD LOST THE TREAD ON A TIRE OR HAD SOME OTHER TIRE ISSUE. WE DIDN'T. WHEN WE STARTED AGAIN, THE TRUCK DROVE FINE. IT HAS ALSO BECOME SLIGHTLY UNRESPONSIVE GOING BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY PREVIOUSLY BUT I HADN'T CORRELATED THE EVENTS. I HAVE NOW SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE STEERING DAMPENER ISSUE. OUR DEALERSHIP IN FT MYERS, FL WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL 5/6/21.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
THE DEATH WABBLE WAS A PROBLEM FOR OUR GAS F-250 CREW CAB. THE PROBLEM WAS WARPED FRONT ROTORS. THE PROBLEM DID NOT SHOW UP ON ANY DIAGNOSTIC AND THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE RATED 'GOOD'. THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED BY A TALENTED MECHANIC WHO RULED OUT EVERYTHING ELSE AND PERFORMED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE SUSPECT ROTORS. THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC PROBLEM AND IT IS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FACTORY SUPPLIED ROTORS!!! FORD MUST AVOID INFERIOR PARTS THAT WARP IN CHANGING TEMPERATURES.
