STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, WE HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING SO BAD WE ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK NEXT TO US. THE HIGHWAY WAS SO CROWDED ALL I COULD DO WAS BRAKE AND HANG ON. FINALLY WHEN THE SPEED WAS AT 25 IT QUIT VIOLENTLY SHAKING. CHECKED THE TRUCK OUT AT THE NEXT EXIT AND FOUND NOTHING OBVIOUS. ON THE WAY HOME, IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE BECAUSE I AM SCARED THAT WE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH THE CLOSEST DEALER 75 MILES AWAY, I WILL GET IT THERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT MY QUESTION IS, IS FORD AWARE OF THE PROBLEM? THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 15000 MILES, AND SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. WE ARE IN OUR LATE 60?S AND I CAN ONLY HOPE I CAN HANG ON IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2012 F250 PURCHASED NEW AND NO MODIFICATIONS EVER. I HAVE ALWAYS RUN THE STOCK MICHELIN TIRES. BEGINNING IN OR ABOUT 2015 I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE STEERING WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH WHEN AT LEAST ONE OF THE TIRES HITS A GROOVE, BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE VIOLENT SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY REDUCE THE SPEED AND PULLING ONTO THE SHOULDER.

STEERING
PURCHASED A FORD CERTIFI PRE-OWNED VEHICLEWITH 35,285 MILES, THE DAY I PICKED IT UP AT ABOUT 60MPH I DROVE OVER A PAVEMENT TRANSITION AND THE TRUCK STARTED TOHAVE SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST GRIP OF THE STEERING WHEEL. BEHIND ME WAS A SCHOOL BUS OF CHILDREN AND NOWHERE TO PULL OFF OR SLOW DOWN ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO GET ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE SHAKING AND THE SCHOOL BUS BEHIND ME HAD TO GET ON THE BRAKES HEAVILY SINCE THE DRIVER STARTED FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD FROM WHAT I AM RESEARCHING IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACT ON THE PROBLEM. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT EITHER FOR THE FORD TRUCK OWNER LIKE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE VACINITY OF ONE OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW, THE LAST TIME I WAS TOWING MY WORK TRAILER. IT SEEMS IT IS ALWAYS AT OR NEAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ONLY IF I HIT SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT OR THE START OR STOP OF A BRIDGE. AFTER I HIT THE ROUGH SPOTS THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY TO GET IT TO STOP, MAYBE AROUND 25 MPH. THE FIRST FEW TIMES WHERE BAD, BUT THE LAST TIME WITH MY ENCLOSED TRAILER I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF I-75 IN FT. MYERS FLORIDA AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS NOT TO HEAVY AND EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. I REALLY LIKE THE TRUCK, BUT I CAN NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AS I AM ON I-75 WITH MY TRAILER JUST ABOUT EVERY WEEKDAY IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SUCH A GOOD OUTCOME IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NORMAL TRAFFIC FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER BUSHINGS ARE CRACKED AND DETERIORATING .. FORD WILL REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY STATE THAT THE CRACKED BUSHING CAN AFFECT STEERING, HANDLING AND BRAKING .. IF THE BUSHINGS FALL APART SUDDENLY THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE CAN LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH AND KILL SOMEONE.. MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE HAS MEVER SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE.. BEING CURIOUS I LOOKED AT OTHER VEHICLES ON THE LOT.. EVERY SINGLE F250 AND F350 VEHICLE I LOOKED AT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.. EVEN THE NEW ONES WITH ZERO MILES HAD CRACKED BUSHINGS.. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL FALL APART AND FAIL JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDS. A FAILED BUSHING CAN CAUSE ALL SORTS OF STEERING ANS STABILTY ISSUES . I THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.. IM GLAD I NOTICED THE CRACKED BUSHINGS BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2018 F250 4X4 CREW CAB HAS 25,500 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED AFTER HITTING A SMALL SEPARATING IN THE CONCRETE ON 1-75. THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT A CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE BECAUSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT, I WAS IMMEDIATELY FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP THE VEHICLE TO ACCESS THE SITUATION. I GOT OUT TO INSPECT ALL FOUR TIRES THINKING THAT I MIGHT HAVE A FLAT TIRE. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. FORD SHOULD NOT BE SELLING THIS VEHICLE AT ALL UNTIL THERE IS A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED I FEAR THAT SHE COULD OF LOST CONTROL AND ENDED UP IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TWICE NOW. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY FRONT END WHEN IN GOT OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD OR A BRIDGE JOINT GOING BETWEEN 55-75. IT WAS FIXED ONCE WHILE MY WARRANTY WAS ACTIVE NOW SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING IF I WASN'T HOLDING ON TIGHT OR IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. EVERYTHING ON MY TRUCK IS STOCK AND IT HAPPENED ROUGHLY 15K AND NOW AT 43K MILES. IM WORRIED IT WILL KILL SOMEONE AND ME AND OR MY FAMILY WHEN WE ARE IN THE TRUCK. I DON'T LET THEM RIDE VERY OFTEN UNLESS WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE IN TOWN WHERE MY SPEED IN LESS THAN 45 MPH. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY TRUCK AT WOODHOUSE FORD IN BLAIR, NE ON THE 19TH OF THIS MONTH, MARCH 2020. HOPING BY DOING THIS COMPLAINT THEY WILL NOT CHARGE ME SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

SEVERE SHAKING OF FRONT END AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP WHILE DRIVING IN A 5 LANE CITY STREET AT APROX 60 MPH THAT PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. FORD CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ESTABLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 19-2274 SEE ATTACHED). THE INCIDENT REQUIRED ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE STEERING FROM SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY PULLING OVER. THE STEERING DAMPER ON THE VEHICLE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE.
