STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH UPON HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS LACK OF CONTROL CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO EITHER GO STRAIGHT WHEN YOU NEED TO TURN OR TO BOUNCE YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO AROUND 30 MPH. THIS IN ITSELF IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE. THIS SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY NOTHING MORE THAN HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIT A POTHOLE OR SOME OTHER AVOIDABLE OBJECT. BOTH THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION ARE A DANGER NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE, BUT ALSO TO ANYONE AROUND OR BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. FORD DEALERSHIP STATES FORD HAS NOTHING TO SAY ON THE MATTER. INITIAL CONCERN WAS HANDLED BY REPLACING THE STEERING STABILIZER, A FIX WHICH LASTED ONLY 8 MONTHS, THEN THE EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN. ON MY LAST 400 MILE TRIP, I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE 6 TIMES FROM THIS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT, THAT MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED.

MY 2018 F250 HAS HAD A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK HITS ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END SHAKES SO BAD YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND PULL OF THE ROAD TO GET IT TO STOP.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE PAID OVER $6.000 DOLLARS TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO FIX MY TRUCK JUST TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ITS A DESIGN FLAW FROM FORD THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY, I HAVE BEEN LIED TO, STRONG ALONG, CALLS NOT RETURNED AND SO ON. THE DESIGN FLAW HAS TO DO WITH THE EGR. AND TODAY ITS SEEMS THE 3RD NEW TURBO STOPPED WORKING AND THE MOTOR HAS STARTED TO HAVE A BAD VIBRATION. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND EVEN THOUGH FORD KEPT TELLING ME THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF ME, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. WHEN THE TURBO FAILED AS I WAS TRYING TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY I HAD NO POWER AND NEARLY WAS REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER WHO WAS EXTREMELY ANGRY. I HAD TO STAY OFF THE FREEWAY ON OTHER ROADS TILL I COULD GET HOME. THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A BAD VIBRATION AND I WAS NOT SURE I WOULD GET IT HOME. IF I WOULD HAD BEEN TOLD BY FORD THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN OF THE DESIGN FLAW AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT, I WOULD HAVE NEVER POURED SO MUCH MONEY INTO IT. IT IS A LEMON AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE AND RESEARCHED THIS TRUCK. I FOUND OUT FORD NEW OF THIS DESIGN FLAW AND THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS BUT RELEASED THE TRUCK TO US ANYWAY. I NOW CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK, I CAN'T FIX IT, I CAN'T SELL IT, AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS LIED TO AND CAUGHT THEM AND SAID, I NOW YOU HAVE BEEN LYING TO ME AND I DO NOT TRUST YOU, I WAS LABELED A HOSTEL CUSTOMER. I ASK YOU, WHO LIKES TO BE LIED TO? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON INTO 2 YEARS NOW. NOW I HAVE NO TRUCK. I AM INTERNING WHERE IT ASKS "WHEN THIS HAPPENED" TODAY'S DATE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

ENGINE
2002 F-250 7.3L DIESEL. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY PULLING A HORSE TRAILER ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. DROVE ANOTHER FEW MILES AND IT STALLED AGAIN. WOULD NOT START AGAIN AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENED ON A REMOTE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. HAD A WRECKER TOW US TO A DIESEL SHOP WHO REPORTED TRUCK STARTED FINE NEXT DAY. WENT AND PICKED IT UP AND IT STUTTERED A FEW TIMES ON THE WAY HOME BUT DID NOT STALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER, ENGINE STALLED AT A RED LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BUT STARTED BACK UP. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO READ A CAM POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FAULT ON THE COMPUTER. REPLACED CAM POSITION SENSOR. A FEW MONTHS LATER, STALLED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. UPON ARRIVING AND UNLOADING FROM WRECKER. TRUCK STARTED UP. STARTED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND STALLED AGAIN HALFWAY THERE ON A BUSY RURAL ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER. CALLED WRECKER AGAIN AND TOWED TO DIFFERENT DIESEL SHOP. REPLACED CPS AGAIN AND TRUCK STARTED FINE. TOOK IT HOME AND RAN IT AT IDLE UNTIL ENGINE TEMP WAS NORMAL. ENGINE STALLED AGAIN AND WOULD NOT START. WAITED ABOUT 2 HOURS AND IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND RAN AT IDLE FOR ONE HOUR WITHOUT STALLING. CURRENT CPS WAS FROM FORD DEALER (THE GREY ONE) BUT APPARENTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONE INVOLVED IN NHTSA ID: EA06012 RECALL FROM 2006 IS STILL A PROBLEM. IT COULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!

STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH UNDER DRY ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND MY STEERING WHEEL / FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES ON THE SAME DAY, ALL AFTER HITTING BUMPS OR ROUGH SPOTS ON HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF & ANYONE RIDING WITH ME ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER COMING AND ROAD CONDITIONS WORSENING. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS I'M NOT REAL CONFIDENT THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE RANDOMLY DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD DOES NOT MATTER SPEED OR WHAT ROAD YOU ARE ON HAPPENS TO THE POINT WE ALMOST EXPECT IT NOW EVERYTIME WE DRIVE. IT WILL ACT FINE NO WARNING THEN IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT JUST SHUTS OFF VERY DANGEROUS. IT ALSO, WILL RANDOMLY LOSS POWER NOT ALL THE TIME BUT OCCASIONALLY IF GOING OVER 45MPH, THE A/C WORKS UNTIL YOU DRIVE OVER 45MPH THEN JUST STOPS UNTIL YOU GET TO A STOP SIGN. TAKE OFF AGAIN ITS FINE TIL THAT 45MPH MARK THEN BLOWS HOT. HAD TRUCK SINCE SEPT. 2018 & HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 1 OUT OF 4X DRIVING THIS WILL ALL HAPPEN. TRUCK ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH FUELING UP THE TANK IT SHUTS THE PUMP OFF CONSTANTLY. MAIN PROBLEM & MOST WORRISOME IS THE SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY AT ABOUT 70MPH. TRUCK TRANSITIONED FROM ROAD TO NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTED EXPERIENCING TIRE WOBBLE IN BOTH FRONT WHEELS WITH STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND SPINNING LEFT TO RIGHT AND VICE VERSA. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT ABOUT 20000 MILES ON A 2019 FORD F-250 FX4. AND SINCE THAT INITIAL INCIDENT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING DAILY FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. FINALLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR STEERING DAMPER? I HOPE THAT CURES THE PROBLEM. IT WANTED TO REPORT PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND USE A HEAVY DUTY STABILIZER.
