STEERING, SUSPENSION
IT IS KNOWN ON THE INTERNET AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 70 MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS ON I-185, THE TRUCK HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD COMING OFF A BRIDGE. THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL I PULLED OVER. I HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE AS I WAS BEING TOSSED ABOUT AND HAD DIFFICULTY EVEN HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 10 MILES LATER. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED INCLUDED FRONT END ALIGNMENTS, BRAKES AND TIRE ROTATIONS.

WE HAVE REPLACED FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, REGULATOR, START SWITCH R&R INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERIES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED ON RECALL 05V270000

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT MASSAGE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, THE LUMBAR AND SEAT PORTION WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND FOR A SHORTER DURATION THAN TWENTY MINUTES (2017 FORD F250 PLATINUM). THE VEHICLE WIPER BLADE RATE OF ACTION RANDOMLY INCREASES AND DECREASES ON IT'S OWN. I WAS TOLD TODAY BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN REDDING, CALIFORNIA THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SEAT MASSAGE PROBLEM, BUT THAT FORD WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY $800.00 FOR THIS REPAIR. IF FORD IS AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE SEATS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND KNOW HOW TO CORRECT IT, WHY AM I BEING CHARGED TO CORRECT IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT?

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT HIGH SPEEDS 65 PLUS WHEN A BUMP IS HIT THE FRONT OF TRUCK AND STEERING STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 20 TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING/FRONT END CAN CAUSE LOSE OF CONTROL AND HAVING TO SLOW TO SUCH A SLOW SPEED ON INTERSTATE CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO SELF AND OTHERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH LAST EVENT YESTERDAY AT WHICH TIME A SEMI TRUCK ALMOST REAR ENDED ME.

STEERING
II WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, APROX 55 MPH ON A NORMAL ROAD. I HIT A POT HOLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE. I MANAGED TO SAFELY PULL OVER, INSPECT VEHICLE AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING "LOOKED" OKAY. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I SAW THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, FORDS FAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE 25K MILES, MY TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW, 80% MILES PLACED ON IN ARE HIGHWAY MILES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE, FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ASAP.

ENGINE
FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY KING RANCH (2010) WITH A 6.4 POWERSTROKE ENGINE. THE 3RD CYLINDER BLEW UP AND THE PISTON CAME APART AND SCARRED THE CYLINDER WALL UP. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NEW EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE TO FORCE DIESELS TO HAVE TO PASS SMOG. THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING TO AVOID PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES AT A COST OF $20K.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 45 - 65 MPH THE FRONT END WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT WOULD HAPPEN ON A STRAIGHTAWAY AND CURVES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON OR ABOUT FEB. 24, 2018 ON I-80 BETWEEN SALT LAKE CITY AND ELKO, NV. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 7,500 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT SCARES THE HOLY CRUD OUT OF ALL PASSENGERS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD IS HAVING.
