ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN DOOR IS OPENED, ONLY CAN BE MANUALLY TURNED ON. THE CARGO LIGHTS AND HIGH BRAKE LIKE NO LONGER WORK AS WELL WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CENTER HIGH BRAKE LIGHT. TURNS OUT A LOT OF 2012 F250 OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S CAUSED BY THE BCM. BODY CONTROL MODULE. IT APPEARS THAT A DESIGN FLAW LETS WATER DRIP ON THE MODULE WHICH EVENTUALLY MAKES IT NO LONGER OPERATE AS EXPLAINED BY SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS I'VE CONTACTED. THE 2011 F250 HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP OR ISSUE IN/ON THE ROAD THE FRONT WHEELS START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I AM BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK UNTIL IT SLOWS TO AROUND 10 MPH, I HAVE NOW REPLACED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I HAVE ALMOST ROLLED MY TRUCK. WHEN I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERS THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT FOR $6,000 TO $10,000 THEY CAN REPLACE ALL THE SUSPENSION PARTS AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE UNUSUAL PROBLEM THAT ONLY I AM HAVING.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TWO WEEKS AGO, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING THE NOTORIOUS 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHICH CAUSES THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE NECESSARY PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR AN UNSPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE PART BEING DELIVERED, AND I'VE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. IT'S STILL UNKNOWN AS TO WHEN THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE. ON 1/7/20, I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY HOPING THEY COULD PROVIDE MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS REGARDING THE SHIPMENT OF THE PART. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO INFORMED ME THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES OTHER THAN CONTINUE CHECKING IN WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DUE TO THE UNKNOWN TIMEFRAME AND POTENTIAL DANGER, I ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVE IF FORD WOULD REIMBURSE ME TO INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET STEERING DAMPER AND LABOR FOR INSTALL. SHE TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD DECLINE MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE TRUCK HAS 23,000 MILES AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK AND AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE PIN HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE LINKAGE FELL OUT BECAUSE A CIRCLIP WAS NOT INSTALLED TO HOLD IT IN. I WAS COASTING INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY SO I WAS ABLE TO THINK QUICKLY AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, HAD I NOT DONE THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. AT THAT TIME A SERVICE TECH WAS CALLED OUTAND TOOK THE TRUCK INTO SERVICE. I RESCINDED MY PURCHASE AGREEMENT DUE TO THIS AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF MORE ARE OUT THERE LIKE THAT. VIN NUMBER IS [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

STEERING
ON TWO SEPARATE ROAD TRIPS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END THAT FEELS AS IF THE WHEELS ARE ABOUT TO COME OFF, IN EARLY DECEMBER 2020, IT HAPPENED AND I THOUGHT I HAD A BLOW OUT, BUT ONCE I GOT THE TRUCK PULLED OVER IT CHECKED OUT OK, SO I CONTINUED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER. ON DEC. 29 ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY TRIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND ALMOST CAUSED A POSSIBLE FATAL CRASH WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN THE TRUCK.. TODAY JAN 6, 2021 TRUCK IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. FYI THE MILEAGE IS 23,346. MY APOLOGIES IF THIS WAS SUBMITTED TWICE, WASN'T SURE IF IT WORKED LAST NIGHT.
