AROUND 20,000 MILES I EXPERIENCED ISOLATED INCIDENTS OF VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PORTION OF HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH. RECENTLY AROUND 65,000 MILES THE TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE MORE FREQUENTLY. THE STEERING BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE AND I HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY TO AVOID LOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 11-15-2019 WHILE ON HWY I-95 SOUTH, AT ABOUT 72MPH , MY F250 STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT THE FRONT END AFTER GOING OVER SLIGHTLY ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLES NEAR ME HAD TO AVOID ME UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. HAD I BEEN ON A CURVATURE , I WOULD HAVE SURELY CRASHED. ON 11-17-2019 , I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN ON AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED , THIS TIME I WAS WITH A COLLEAGUE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE SHAKING WAS VERY SCARY AND WORRYING. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE F-250 TRUCKS IS APPARENTLY NOT UNCOMMON, WE PULLED OVER AND DID A GOOGLE SEARCH , IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOTHING NEW , BUT FORD HAS NOT MADE CONSUMERS AWARE OF IT ,AND CONTINUES TO SELL THE VEHICLE WITH OUT INFORMING THE PUBLIC. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST ??? PLEASE HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY & UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN GOING OVER A ROUGH ROAD SURFACE. FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BOTH HAVE ACTED AS IF THEY KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THE HUGE PROBLEM. DEALER PARTS FOR REPAIRS ARE ALWAYS BACK ORDERED AS MOST DEALERSHIP WILL WILLINGLY ADMIT THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF TODAY. I WENT TO MULTIPLY DEALERSHIPS TO FIND HONESTY AND THEY ARE HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE BEST SELLING TRUCK THEY OFFER. THIS IS YOUR JOB TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM DANGER AND THIS CERTAINLY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BEEN A PART OF .

IN 2017 I PURCHASED A NEW F-250 SUPER DUTY PICK-UP FROM LITHIA FORD, BOISE, IDAHO. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE UNEXPECTED OPENING OF MY TAIL GATE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE TURNING STREET CORNERS, IN MOTION, ON BOISE, IDAHO, CITY STREETS, WHILE PULLING MY RV, AND AT RANDOM TIMES. IT HAS RESULTED IN DAMAGING MY RV PROPANE TANKS, AND RESULTED IN TWO PERMANENT DENTS AT THE TOP OF MY TAIL GATE. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED NOVEMBER 15, 2019 WHEN TURNING A STREET CORNER, MY TAIL GATE FELL OPEN, AND MY NEW (NEVER SHOT .17 CAL RIFLE (IN A HARD BLACK PLASTIC CASE)) RIFLE FELL OUT, AND WAS NEVER RECOVERED. I FILED A POLICE REPORT WITH THE GARDEN CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT #2019-02600. I EVEN HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE THE TAIL GATE FELL OPEN, WHILE STATIONARY IN MY DRIVE WAY. I INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT I HAD CAUSED THE INCIDENTS, INADVERTENTLY WHILE CARRYING MY REMOTE KEY IN MY POCKET, BUT SINCE READING THE "HTTP://WWW.TFLTRUCK.COM REPORT/2018/10/2017-FORD-SUPER-DUTY-POWERED-TAILGATE-MAY-OPEN-BY-ITSELF-OWNERS-REPORT/", I BELIEVE THAT IT MAY BE A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM, WHICH FORD HAS IDENTIFIED AS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 60MPH, UPON HITTING A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD, HEAVY ROAD EXPANSION JOINT OR SOMETIME UNDER LIGHT BRAKING. THE TRUCK STEERING WHEEL WILL OSCILLATE STRONGLY FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN WILL SUBSIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL COMING BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THIS COULD GET SOMEONE INJURED OR WORSE.

STEERING
2017 FORD F-250 KING RANCH DIESEL STARTED EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING THE TRUCK INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC LANE. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT DAY. I WAS JUST DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT-A-WAY HIGHWAY, NO WEATHER CONDITIONS, NO TRAILER, NO LOAD, ETC.. TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT AND IS UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. HOWEVER, FORD HAS A NATIONAL BACKLOG OF PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK IS NOT "ROAD WORTHY" AND REMAINS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIR. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A DATE FOR WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE DO NOT EXPECT THEIR VEHICLE TO BEGIN VIOLENTLY SHAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND CAUSING THE STEERING TO NOT BE RESPONSIVE TO THE SITUATION! I AM AFRAID OF THIS VEHICLE! PLEASE TAKE ACTION AGAINST FORD TO RECALL AND CORRECTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION!

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING (EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR BRIDGE LINK THE VEHICLE BEGINS VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON THE FRONT END. I WOULD HAVE TO HOLD TO STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT CORRECTS ITSELF. WE HAVE READ ON AN ONLINE FORUM TO REFERENCE TSB #18-2268 WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE WITH 2017-2019 FORD F-250S. ATTACHED IS A WORK ORDER I FOUND ONLINE FROM SOMEONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING
2017 F-250 FACTORY STOCK WITH 15,800 MILES. TIRES ARE LIKE NEW, NEVER USED AS A TOW VEHICLE. CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING BY 69 YEAR OLD MAN. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY TOLL ROAD AT 70 MPH AND HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT IN A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. IT CONTINUED TO SHAKE UNTIL I HAD SLOWED TO 40 MPH. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED THIS ONE TIME (TWO DAYS AGO) BUT AFTER READING SIMILAR REPORTS ONLINE, I AM AFRAID TO GO OVER 65 MPH.
