STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 69 AT 70MPH WHEN I HIT AN OVERPASS BRIDGE. THE ROUGH PAVEMENT CAUSE MY TRUCK TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE TIRES AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO AN 18 WHEELER FUEL TRUCK. THE SHAKING DIDN'T GO AWAY UNTIL MY SPEED DROPPED TO 50MPH. SERIOUS DEFECT THAT FORD IS NOT FINDING THE CORRECT FIX FOR. FORD HAS REPLACED THE DAMPER TWICE AND THE TRACK BAR. THE SHAKE CAME BACK 3 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST TRACK BAR REPLACEMENT. THE CORRECT FIX , I BELIEVE, IS A CASTER ADJUSTMENT AT 3+ DEGREES. BUT FORD WILL NOT TRY THE FIX. IT WILL COST ME TO DO THAT AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

ENGINE
ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AT SPEEDS 50 TO 70 MPH AND WON'T RESTART SOMETIMES. IT MIGHT RESTART AFTER AN HOUR AND RUN FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AND STOP AGAIN AND WON'T START AGAIN TILL NEXT MORNING. IS INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOMLY STOPPING DEAD, LIKE TURNING OFF THE KEY. MECHANIC CANNOT MAKE IT HAPPEN IN SHOP!

STEERING
I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. MY WIFE AND SON WERE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. BRAKING SEEMED TO WORSEN THE SHAKING. ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO AROUND 45 MPH, THE SHAKING CEASED. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I INCREASED MY SPEED AGAIN TO AROUND 70 MPH, AND THEN THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED AGAIN. BOTH EVENTS OCCURRED AS I ENCOUNTERED AN OVERPASS. IT SCARED ALL OF US IN THE VEHICLE. WE NO LONGER FEEL CONFIDENT WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK. MY WIFE SAID SHE WILL NEVER DRIVE THE TRUCK AGAIN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
REDUCTANT (DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID) HEATER HAS FAILED ON MY 2014 F-250 WITH A 6.7L DIESEL. DIAGNOSTIC CODE P20BA. FORD FSA 18M01 COVERS THIS FAILURE ON 2011-2012 F-250/350 AND 2011-2015 F-450/550. FROM PARTS.FORD.COM " PART # 5J225 (REDUCTANT HEATER AND SENDER ASSEMBLY),USAGES: 10/04/2011 - 07/05/2016, F250/350/450/550 SUPER DUTY, 6.7L 4V V8 T/C DIESEL, WIDE FRAME (PICKUP), WITH LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL CONTENT" STATING THAT THE SAME "REDUCTANT HEATER AND SENDER" WAS USED FROM 2011-2016. HOWEVER THE FSA DOES NOT INCLUDE 2013-2015 F-250/350 MODELS. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBERS OF THESE SPECIFIC MODELS ON THE ROAD AND THE FACT THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT RELATED FAILURES. THIS FAILURE WILL KEEP MY VEHICLE FROM PASSING INSPECTION. MY VEHICLE, WHICH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES AS OF 10/22/2020.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE TURNPIKE. THIS IS A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY LIKE AN INTERSTATE. I HIT A CRACK LEADING TO AN OVERPASS AS I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 70 MPH. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIBRATING BACK AND FORTH AND UP AND DOWN AND WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ON TO. I BRAKED AND PULLED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RESUMED DRIVING AT A REDUCED SPEED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. ON MY WAY HOME THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT, I WAS NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE WEATHER WAS IN THE LOW 80'S AND CLEAR SKIES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE 2017 FORD F250 PLATINUM WITH 107,000 BUT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND WELL MAINTAINED. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL SHUT SHUTDOWN FOR NO REASON.I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE RIGHT REAR TAILLIGHT. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY REGULAR. WHEN IT HAPPENS I GET MULTIPLE ERROR MESSAGES. TAILLIGHT SYSTEM FAULT, BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT AND THEN SAYS SEE OWNERS MANUEL. I AM WORRIED THIS MAY HAPPEN WHEN TOWING A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. I HAVE REQUEST A FORD REP LOOK AT IT IF THE SERVICE TECH CANNOT FIGURE THE ISSUE OUT.

MY 2012 F250 STARTED HAVING A DEATH WOBBLE IN JULY OF 2020. I HAD A FORD DEALERSHIP IN SNYDER TX REPLACE MY STEERING DAMPENER IN AUG OF 2020. THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED AGAIN OCTOBER 13. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 140000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP IN SNYDER TX SAID THAT THE FRONT END COMPONENTS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND SAID THAT THE DAMPENER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT. THIS WOBBLE HAPPENS AT HWY SPEEDS . I HAVE TO BREAK HARD TO TRY AND SLOW IT DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

DRIVING ON MAJOR INTERSTATE WHEN I DROVE THROUGH BUMPY AREA OF THE HWY. THE FRONT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY UNEXPECTED.

THE STEERING ON THE 2017 FORD F250 HAS A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING THAT HAS BEEN CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHENEVER THE VEHICLE DRIVES OVER A BUMP THAT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE(WOBBLE) AS YOU'RE TRYING TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ALWAYS OCCURS AT SPEEDS OVER 20-30 MILES PER AND GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS.
