STEERING
IT OCCURRED FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, WHEN DRIVING AT 55MPH I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY BACK AND FORTH. HAD COMPLETE INABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE SHAKING STOPPED ROUGHLY 300 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AND THERE WERE NO ONCOMING VEHICLES, OTHERWISE I AM NOT SURE I COULD HAVE AVOIDED A CRASH OR MADE THE TURN. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE QUITE A FEW F250 OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

IT TYPICALLY OPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING TO MOVE, WHETHER FORWARD OR REVERSE. IT MAY OPEN REPEATEDLY AFTER CLOSING AND ATTEMPTING TO START MOVING AGAIN.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
VEHICLE PURCHASED ON 2/27/20 AT GOLDY AUTOMOTIVE IN HUNTINGTON, WV WITH 19912 MILES. RETURNED TO GOLDY AUTOMOTIVE ON 7/31/20 TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED AND TIRES ROTATED. LEFT DEALERSHIP ON 7/31/20 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM. AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY LEAVING ME UNABLE TO STEER, HAVING A NEAR MISS WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. CALLED MANAGER AT GOLDY AUTO IMMEDIATELY. HE SENT A REPLACEMENT TRUCK TO MY HOME, PICKED UP VEHICLE THAT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND RETURNED IT TO GOLDY AUTO ON 8/1 TO CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR DAMAGE. 8/1/2020, THE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY WAS RETURNED TO ME SAME DAY, ASSURING EVERYTHING WAS FIXED AND IN GOOD CONDITION. 8/5/2020 I DRIVE THE TRUCK, TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALMOST CAUSING YET ANOTHER CRASH. 8/10/2020 I RETURN THE TRUCK TO GOLDY AUTO, WHOM VERIFIED MY CONCERNS, AND LISTED THAT "OUTER TIE-RODS WORN, TRACK BAR BUSHINGS WORN" AND MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPENER. GOLDY AUTO DID NOT TOW THE VEHICLE, BUT SENT ME OUT IN THE UNSAFE TRUCK WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. GOLDY REFUSED TO FIX ANY PROBLEMS, BECAUSE THEY ARENT A FORD DEALER. 8/13/20 I TAKE THE UNSAFE TRUCK TO THORNHILL FORD. I GIVE THEM THE DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT GOLDY AUTO DETERMINED TO BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THORNHILL FORD REFUSES TO FIX ANY OF THE ITEMS LISTED BY GOLDY AUTO, ONLY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPENER, AS INSTRUCTED BY FORD. I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER UNTIL IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACT TO PREVENT IT FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING, THE FRONT WHEELS ARE WOBBLING AND CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BECOME UNSTABLE. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAVE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL THE WOBBLING STOPS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON VERY SMOOTH AND FLAT HIGHWAYS. IT FIRST HAPPENED AROUND TWO YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE AS IT ONLY HAPPENED ON ONE CERTAIN STRETCH OF ROAD THAT I TRAVELED OCCASIONALLY. IN THE LAST YEAR IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN CAUSING ME CONCERN THAT THE TRUCK COULD BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED OFF ROAD OR HAULED/PULLED HEAVY LOADS. THE STOCK SUSPENSION IS NOT MODIFIED/LIFTED.

DURING TROUBLESHOOTING WORK THE TAILGATE OPENED WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE DAMAGE TO THEN GATE CAUSED BY A TRAILER STRIKE ON 1 OPENING AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT HELPFUL AND HAS NOT TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY. THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN..

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS OR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS FRONT SUSPENSION BEING AS RIDGED AS IT IS WILL CAUSE TIRES TO BOUNCE, AND IF YOU SHOULD BE ON A CURVE WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE YOUR VEHICLE TO BOUNCE DRIFT SUDDENLY. THIS EXPERIENCE IS MAGNIFIED WHEN TOWING A VEHICLE WHICH PUTS MORE WEIGHT ON THE REAR AND LESS ON THE FRONT WHEELS BOUNCE DRIFTING HAS BEEN AS BAD AS 12" FROM ORIGINAL POSITION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO SUSPENSION TO NOT BE SO RIDGED WORST ON FREEWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL FORD F250 SUPER DUTY IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ALWAYS DUE TO BAD ROADS OR UNEVEN TRANSITION

TRUCK HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT, 99.9% OF WHICH ARE PAVED ROAD DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS. TRUCK SUDDENLY DEVELOPED THE ' DEATH WOBBLE ' AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD ABOVE 45 MPH OR SO. FIRST NOTICED THE CONDITION 100 MILES AGO. GETTING HESITANT/ A LITTLE SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FEELING THE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER A ROAD BUMP HAS TO BE SEEN TO REALLY BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TRUCK HITS A BUMP AND JUMPS SIDEWAYS. TWICE IT HAS HAPPENED IN A CORNER AND CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO FISH TAIL. THE TRUCK HAS JUMPED AS FAR AS HALF A LANE TO THE SIDE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FORD HAS REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER UNDER WARRANTY, WITH NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. NOW THEY ARE STATING THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN AND MY TIRES ARE CAUSING THE ISSUE.
