UNATTENDED TAILGATE. TAIL GATE OPENS ON ITS OWN AFTER SAFETY RECALL WAS PREFORMED. DEALER CAN'T REPRODUCE ISSUE. TAIL GATE OPENS RANDOMLY. MY TAIL GATE IS DAMAGED. FORD REFUSING TO SOLVE ISSUE. I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT YOUR AGENCY HAVING SAME COMPLAINTS AFTER RECALL WAS PERFORMED. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RIGHT WHEN I START THE TRUCK AND PUT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2018 FORD F-250 DIESEL 4 WHEEL DRIVE - ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON IT I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST "DEATH WOBBLE" I HAD GONE AROUND A CURVE ON A NARROW ROAD (PROBABLY 45 MPH) AND HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT AND THERE IT WENT, SCARED THE SNOT OUT OF ME, HIT THE BRAKES, IT STOPPED, I THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE BUSY ROAD WITH A SEMI-TRUCK NEXT TO ME AND IN THE 20 MILES I DRIVE ON THAT ROAD TWICE DAILY (BETWEEN 55-65 MILES AN HOUR), IT DID IT 4 TIMES. THEN NOTHING. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE B/C I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR INSPECTION 3/19/20, ALL SUSPENSION AND JOINTS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE FORD IS SUGGESTION COULD BE AN ISSUE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND FOUND TO NOT BE LOOSE OR BROKEN. NEW TIRES ARE BEING PUT ON IT THIS WEEKEND WITH ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. AT THIS POINT AFTER ALL OF THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL BE TRADING THIS VEHICLE. EVERYTHING I SEE SAYS FORD KNOWS AOBUT IT, HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT, AND IS EITHER UNWILLING TO FIX IT, OR DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR RECALL ON ALL THE PARTS IN QUESTION IMMEDIATELY TO MAKE US GULLIBLE IDIOTS THAT BOUGHT THEIR PIECES OF JUNK AT LEAST FEEL LIKE WE CAN USE THEM SAFELY! I AM JUST NOW HEARING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS FAMILY OF TRUCKS, IF I HAD KNOW THIS WAS THIS BIG OF AN ISSUE I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT AND THAT IS WHAT FORD IS COUNTING ON AND THAT IS WRONG! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TAKING MY FAMILY ANYWHERE IN THIS VEHICLE, IT'S THE ONLY ONE I HAVE AND I AM 1,800 MILES FROM ANY FAMILY, IF I HAVE TO GO HOME FOR AN EMERGENCY I WILL HAVE TO RENT A VEHICLE AT THIS POINT B/C I CAN'T IMAGINE RUNNING DOWN AN INTERSTATE AT 85MPH AND THIS HAPPEN!

APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT I WENT ACROSS A BRIDGE AND THE BUMP AT BRIDGE TRANSITION CAUSED THE TRUCK TO AGAIN VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO 30MPH. NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION. TRUCK HAS 112000 MILES. DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED WHILE TESTING IT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYTIME I HIT A BUMP.

EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. WE BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS IS A VERY SCARY EVENT. I AM SO SURPRISED THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED FORD TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS AT A SLIGHT ANGLE THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IS HARD TO CONTROL. GOES AWAY AFTER SLOWING DOWN BUT NEARLY HIT THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE'S REALLY NO PERMANENT FIX TO IT. HE REPLACED MY STEERING DAMPER BUT STILL DOES IT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I AM ON MY SECOND HOOD. THE FACTORY HOOD STARTED FAILING AT THE LATCH. THE HOOD BEGINS TO CRACK OUT AROUND THE LOOP THAT LOCKS INTO THE LATCH. IT CAME APART STRUCTURE WISE AND I HAD IT REPLACED. NO RECALLS WERE FOUND IN ANY SYSTEM. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY TRUCK IN OUR FLEET THAT HAS DONE THIS. WE'VE HAD TWO OTHERS. NOW, AFTER A RECENT REPLACEMENT, HERE I AM AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOOD IS CRACKING OUT AGAIN, AROUND THE HOOP AND IT FLIES UP AND 'DANCES' IN THE WIND AND ESPECIALLY PASSING SEMI TRUCKS. THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL AND I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS TROUBLE. HOOD FEELS AS IF IT WILL BREAK AWAY AND END UP ON THE WIND SCREEN. PICTURE BELOW IS OF THE ORIGINAL FACTORY HOOD.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. ON THE WAY HOME I EXPERIENCED IT MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. AFTER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THE EXPERIENCE IS REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT IS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE WHEN YOUR FAMILY IS IN THE TRUCK WITH YOU.

THE DEATH WOBBLE MY F-250 TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING A DEATH WOBBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT ,I FIRST TOOK IT IN TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH 10,212 VEHICLE MILES ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE , AND HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE THEN . FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM , THEY ONLY MAKE MINOR CHANGES "BANDAID" TO THE TRUCK AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED , THEY KEEP PUTTING ME OFF AND SAY THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEVERAL PAGES OF SERVICE REPAIRS FORD HAS PERFORMED BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED THE DEATH WOBBLE . MY FORD F-250 STILL HAS LOW MILEAGE BUT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE CAME VERY CLOSE TO A ROLL OVER AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE FROM WHEN WE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK ROLLS OVER A BUMP AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 20 MPH IT GOES INTO A WOBBLE AND BECOMES VERY HAZARDOUS AND SCARY. WE BOUGHT THIS F-250 KING RANCH TO DRIVE AND ENJOY ON VACATIONS AND OTHER FAMILY TRIPS , BUT AT THIS TIME MY FAMILY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE RIDING IN IT, NOR HAVING IT ON THE ROAD WAYS IN FEAR OF IT BEING A DANGER TO US AND OTHER DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS. THIS F-250 GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN ENCOUNTERING A BUMP IN THE ROAD , ON PUBLIC COUNTY ROADS, CITY STREETS , STATE HIGHWAYS AND ESPECIALLY INTERSTATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS ISSUE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CORPORATION ON THIS ISSUES AS WELL. YET NEITHER ONE OF THESE ENTITIES OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAVE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY . REGARDS

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MY LOCAL TIRE MAN DESCRIBED THIS AS A " DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IS AA GOOD DESCRIPTION. AS I DRIVE USUALLY AT 55 MPH THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STARTS TO SHAKE, NO PRIOR WARNING, SO HARD IT IS HARD TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. O FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW TO A STOP WITHOUT A WRECK. I CAN THEN PROCEED AS IF NOTHING HAS OCCURRED. THIS SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE FREQUENT. AND MAKES ME NERVOUS WHEN I DRIVE.. I HAVE LEARNED FROM MY TIRE MAN THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS IN MY ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD TRUCKS. WE HAVE HAD FORDS SINCE THE '70'S AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER ONE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A PART OR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER IT COSTS $400-$500 AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD FIX, NOT THE OWNER, WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE A FORD PROBLEM.WHETHER IN DESIGN OR WHATEVER. I EVEN HAD A FORD SERVICEMAN TELL ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM SOMETIMES WITH FORD . THIS IS A FRIGHTENING THING AND I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE AND DIDN'T FRIGHTEN ANYONE ELSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES FIRST IN 2014 . I WILL PUT THE LAST TIME IN THE SPACE BELOW AND I DID HAVE A FRIEND WITH ME THAT TIME.

VEHICLE HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN I HID SMALL POT HOLES IN THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELLING AT AROUND 70-75 MPH. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. TODAY IT WAS SO SEVERE I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR, BRACED BOTH FEET AND IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. UNTIL I GOT IT TO STOP.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 70MPH THE VEHICLE HIT A SMALL BUMP WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO START TO RATTLE VIOLENTLY . THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RATTLE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL IT WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. PREVIOUS TO THIS SCARY EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE SOME CONTROL AND FEEL WHEN SMALL BUMPS WOULD BOUNCE THE SUSPENSION.
