STEERING, SUSPENSION
2017 FORD F-250 WHEELS VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPY OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. VEHICLE HAD 22000 MILES WHEN FIRST STARTED. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES WITH NO FIX. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF NOT RESOLVED. HAVE BEEN TOLD, AIR PRESSURE NOT CORRECT, ROTORS, BRAKES, TIRES, ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH NO RESOLUTION. FORD HAS A PROBLEM AND ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. SPENT 70K ON FORDS SUPER DUTY AND AFRAID TO DRIVE OR LET ANY FAMILY MEMBER DRIVE. IF OR WHEN SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS THE LAWSUIT WILL NOT BE PRETTY. TELL FORD TO FIX THE ISSUE! DEALER SAID THEY PERFORMED TSB 18-2268 AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. I'M CURIOUS IF FORD EXECUTIVES WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT THEIR FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY OUTING? INVESTED TOO MUCH MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND NOW TOO MUCH TIME AND ADDITIONAL MONEY TO FIX WITH NO SOLUTION.

MY TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". ON 6/7/19 TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER WITH 32,499 MILES. GULF COAST FORD ANGELTON,TX. DEALER CONFIRMED DEATH WOBBLE REPLACED ALL 4 STEERING LINKS, STEERING SHOCK, CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND SET TOE. 10/22/19 TRUCK NOW HAS 41,000 MILES AND THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. WAITING TO HEAR FROM DEALER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OF LOOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS IS THE SECOND FORD THAT I HAVE HAD THAT HAD THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE 2019 MODELS DO IT AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. BOTH DEATH WOBBLES I HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 60-65

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. HAD TO DRIFT INTO A PARKING LOT TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. AFTER MONTHS AND SEVERAL MECHANICS LATER, CHANGING OUT DIFFERENT FUEL PARTS, ENGINE COMPONENTS, BATTERIES, ETC. WE FOUND OUT IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION PUMP. THE PUMP "EXPLODED" FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD, INSIDE AND SENT METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE FUEL RAIL AND ENGINE ITSELF. WE SPENT 12,000 TO PUT A USED MOTOR AND ALL NEW FUEL COMPONENTS. IT TOOK US A YEAR TO SAVE UP BECAUSE WE HAD TO MAKE A PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT COULDN'T BE USED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT A TIRE HAD FLATTENED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY AND WAS DRIVEN AT 60 MPH TO A DESTINATION TWO HOURS AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULLINAX FORD LINCOLN (7311 AIRPORT BLVD, MOBILE, AL 36608), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE TOWING A 7000 LB TRAILER/RV, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING BADLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON CANADA HWY 104 BETWEEN ANTIGONISH NS AND MONCTON NB. AFTER STAYING IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN MONCTON NB, THE SHAKING HAPPEN ONE MORE TIME THE NEXT DAY ON HWY 1 WHILE DRIVING TO SAINT JOHN. EACH TIME, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE SHAKING STOP AT ABOUT 35 MPH. EACH TIME, THE SHAKING STARTED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH, AND CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 26,000 MILES WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING. THE SAME TRAILER SETUP HAS BE USED FORM THOUSANDS OF MILE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE SHAKING WAS VERY BAD AND I AM VERY THANKFUL NO OTHER CARS WERE CLOSE BY WHEN IT HAPPEN.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH I ENCOUNTERED A POT-HOLE AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY! I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AND CROSSED THREE LANES BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE BARRIER IN THE MEDIAN. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO WEST POINT FORD, IN WEST POINT VA, AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THEM. THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME A FEW DAYS LATER CLAIMING THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD A SECOND INCIDENT WHEN I STRUCK A PATCH OF ASPHALT USED TO REPAIR A POTHOLE, AND AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO WEST POINT FORD WHERE IT STAYED FOR OVER A WEEK. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE MADE A REPAIR TO THE STEERING DAMPENER AND TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I HAD A THIRD INCIDENT YESTERDAY EVENING. I WILL BE RETURNING THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER ONCE AGAIN.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENS AFTER HITTING BUMPS. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL IS TO REDUCE SPEED. WE HAVE A FLEET WHICH INCLUDES 46 NEW F250'S AND F350'S. WERE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE WITH 5 TRUCKS SO FAR. ALL ISSUES ARE STARTING BETWEEN 8000 AND 15000 MILES.

I AM WRITING TO YOU REGARDING MY TRUCK WHICH HAS JUST UNDER 12000 MILES ON IT, BUT, THIS LETTER GOES BEYOND MY TRUCK, IT INCLUDES POTENTIALLY EVERY F250 ON THE ROAD FROM AT LEAST THE 2017 MODEL YEAR AND POTENTIALLY OTHER YEARS. THE ISSUE IS THE INFAMOUS DEATH WOBBLE WHICH OCCURS ON CERTAIN ROUGH ROADS AND BRIDGE JOINTS. I AM CURRENTLY ON A TRIP TO COLORADO AND SOUTH DAKOTA FROM PENNSYLVANIA AND IN THE LAST 1600 MILES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM MORE THAN 35 TIMES (WHAT'S THE POINT OF COUNTING?). I KNOW YOU HAVE A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT LISTING A FIX WHICH FROM MY RESEARCH APPARENTLY DOESN'T WORK LONG TERM BUT DOES WEAR OUT TIRES A HELL OF A LOT FASTER. HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH AND EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? IF NOT, PUT YOURSELF IN ONE OF THESE IMPROPERLY ENGINEERED TRUCKS AND DRIVE UNTIL YOU FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF SPEED, BUMP FREQUENCY AND ANY OTHER SITUATION WHICH MAY CAUSE OCCURRENCE. WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU WILL HAVE THOROUGHLY SCARED IT OUT OF YOU ALONG WITH THE DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLES AROUND YOU. THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES WOULD BE PRICELESS IF IT WERE A HORROR SHOW INSTEAD OF A ROAD SITUATION. IN ORDER TO STOP DEATH WOBBLE THE VEHICLE MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP, OFTEN IN PLACES WHERE THE BERM OF THE ROAD ISN'T WIDE ENOUGH OR SAFE ENOUGH TO GET OFF ON AND YOU HAVE AN 18 WHEELER ABOUT TO RUN UP YOUR BUTT. AFTER YOU FINISH WIPING, TAKE THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW ENGINEERING COULD SCREW UP SO BADLY AND QUALITY COULD LET IT SLIDE AND THE BLASTED BEAN COUNTERS CAN BE SO AFRAID OF CUTTING INTO PROFITS TO PERMIT A PROPER FIX. BY THE WAY, IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALERS HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING THE 'PARTS' FOR THE INADEQUATE FIX. I SUSPECT IN ADDITION TO THE IMMEDIATE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR FATIGUE FAILURE OF SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.

DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE IN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH IF YOU HIT ANY SORT OF BUMP THE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME OVER 15 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERE ACCIDENTS A COUPLE TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE SHOP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. AFTER READING FOR HOURS ONLINE THERE IS NO EFFECTIVE FIX FOR THIS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS DESIGN DEFECT THAT FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS. PLEASE HELP

WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY ANY UNEVEN SURFACE IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY.

MY 2017 FORD F-250 HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAS ALMOST KILLED US SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOVE ABOUT 65 MPH AND HITTING SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT IT DEVELOPS A DEATH WOBBLE SO VIOLENT I HAVE TO WHITE KNUCKLE THE STEERING WHEEL AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GAIN CONTROL, WHICH ONLY HAPPENS AT ABOUT 30 MPH. AFTER THE SECOND TIME I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AS I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CAUSE, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN THREE TIMES ON OUR LAST TRIP.

STEERING
OCTOBER 19. I HIT A EXPANSION JOINT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. INSTANTLY THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE SHAKING WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO LOOSE A TIRE. IT IS A WONDER I DIDN'T CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I CAME HERE AND SEEN I'M NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE INNOCENT VICTIM IS KILLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALSO PULL A 5TH WHEEL. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PULLING THE 5TH WHEEL I DON'T BELIEVE I COULD HAVE GOTTEN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE PAST FORDS I HAVE OWNED HAVE BEEN GREAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD TAKE CARE OF THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IF THEY DON'T I WILL BE REPLACING THIS TRUCK WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND.
