STEERING
2017 F-250 DIESEL FORD TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT TRAVELING 55 MPH. HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND COME TO ALMOST COMPLETE STOP TO END SHAKING. LOCAL FORD DEALER UPDATED SOFTWARE AND SAID "TRY THAT, IT SHOULD BE FIXED." DID NOT FIX IT AND AFTER REPEAT OF INCIDENT, LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED TRACK BAR WAS WORN OUT AT 38K MILES. FORD DEALER SAID TRUCK WAS ABUSED AND THAT IS WHY PART WORE OUT. LOCAL MECHANIC ARGUED TRUCK WAS NOT ABUSED. I REPLACED TRACK BAR AT MY EXPENSE. FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY PARTS. JUDGING BY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES OF FORD TRUCKS MANUFACTURED DURING 2017 TIME PERIOD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WENT OVER AN AREA THAT HAD A PATCH IN THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS I HIT THAT BUMP MY TRUCK FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA LOOSE CONTROL. I ALMOST WENT INTO ANOTHER LANE BUT THANKFULLY I HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE TRUCK JUST VIBRATED SO HARD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT TENDS TO DO THAT ON BUMPS. *TR

STEERING
WHEN HITTING A DIAGONAL UNEVEN SECTION OF PAVEMENT AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE FRONT TIRES AND STEERING START TO VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY CAUSING A LOSE OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW THE VEHICLE TO BELOW 30 MPH. VIDEO OF HE TRUCK DOING HIS IS ON MY YOUTUBE ACCOUNT. FORD HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE 4 TIMES, BUT IT HAS COME BACK AGAIN MAY 2020. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 55 MPH, WHEN I STRIKE A POT HOLE OR EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROADWAY, I EXPERIENCE THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HARD TO KEEP A HOLD OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO RESOLVE IT IS STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE LAST IT HAPPENED WAS 5/13/2020. I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROADWAY AND HIT A POT HOLE AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 F-250 SUPER DUTY AT 52 MPH TO GET ON INTERSTATE I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE PAVEMENT AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY PICKUP DUE TO EXTREME AND UNCONTROLLABLE VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING/WOBBLE. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE IN TIME TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT TIRES AND FRONT SUSPENSION BUT DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. I STARTED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY CROSSED A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS GOING 50 MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ACTION. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T FORD BEING REQUIRED BY YOUR GROUP TO RECALL THESE DANGEROUS PICKUPS????!!!??? *TR

STEERING
SEVERE AND REPEATED BOUNCING OF STEERING TIRES. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. FORD'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN NOTHING MORE THAN REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER. IS NOT A FIX, ONLY MASKS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. NOW THE VEHICLE IS OFF WARRANTY AND THEY STILL WON'T/CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID TO LET OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 45-70 MPH AND COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. REQUIRES IMMEDIATE LOWERING OF SPEED IN TRAFFIC TO GET IT TO STOP. NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS PEOPLE SWERVING TO GETAWAY FROM MY VEHICLE WHEN CONDITION OCCURS. PLEASE DEMAND A RECALL, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW AND FMC IS VERY AWARE OF IT. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY FORD 2015 F-250 IN MOTION. AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN, I PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS STARTING TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE A LOT BACK AND FORTH AND I COULD DRIVE THE TRUCK SAFELY. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH WHILE STEERING WHEEL WAS WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH TO GET THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND STOP. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND PARK IT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT TWO BALL JOINTS ARE LOOSE AND THEY SHOULD NOT LOOSE TO THE TOUCH. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE TRACKER BAR IS LOOSE TO THE TOUCH. ALL THREE ITEMS SHOULD BE TIGHT. I UPLOADED THE PHOTO I TOOK AT THE REPAIR SHOP SHOWING THE BALL JOINT. PLEASE HAVE FORD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ACTION. *TR

STEERING
2 ISSUES THE FIRST IS BUMP STEERING. IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP ON HIGHWAY WHILE STEERING LEFT IT WILL JUMP ACROSS THE LANE. ONLY DOES IT IN LEFT TURN IN HIGHWAY. THE OTHER IS THE DEATH WOBBLE. MINE DID IT WHEN I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS AT 20 MPH. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK OVER 63 MPH NOW . THE BUMP STEERING HAS BEEN SINCE NEW. THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AT 32000 IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS AS APPARENTLY IT IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE NEWER TRUCKS. FORD *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIBRATING AND TURNING BACK AND FORTH AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. I ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK BEHIND ME FROM SLOWING DOWN SO QUICKLY. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES VIOLENTLY. FIRST AT LESS THAN 10,000 MILES, THE SECOND AT 42,000 MILES AND THE LAST AND MOST VIOLENTLY AT 45,000 MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY UNEVEN TIRE WEAR OR IMPROPER AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES. IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED 100K MILE PLATINUM WARRANTY. I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE TRACK BAR WITH AN AFTERMARKET VERSION DESIGNED TO CORRECT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE, AND THE PROBLEM HAS STOPPED. *TR
