STEERING
I HAD PREVIOUSLY REPORTED 11174271. THE TRUCK IN QUESTION WAS PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 10K MILES LATER THE ISSUE REOCCURED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 50 MPH ON A BRIDGE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER AND ENDED UP REGAINING CONTROL AFTER STOPPING COMPLETELY ON THE BRIDGE (THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME STOPPED TOO). I SLOWLY DROVE TO THE SHOULDER AND CLAMED DOWN. THIS WAS ALMOST A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT ON A BRIDGE. BECAUSE THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS TRUCK IS BEING TRADED IN WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND TRUCK.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD WE WENT OVER A BRIDGE SEAM AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE. THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES PRIOR TO THIS BUT NOT AS BAD. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO UNDER INFLATED TIRES, THAT I HAD TO KEEP THEM AT 70 PSI. TIRE PRESSURE HASN'T CHANGED ANYTHING. I TOW A 28 FT. TRAVEL TRAILER OFTEN, IF THIS HAPPENS AS VIOLENTLY AS LAST NIGHT WE WILL SURELY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE RIG. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
SEVERE/VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ANY DEVIATION IN ROAD SURFACE (BRIDGES/ TRANSITIONS/POTHOLES). FIRST DOCUMENTED IN 2018 AROUND 20,000 MILES. FORD DEALER REPLACED STEERING COMPONENTS IN APRIL 2019 WITH 32470 MILES. WOBBLE RETURNED IN JULY OF 2019 AT 39000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 9/25/19 AND THE REPORTED NO ISSUES OR REPAIRS NEEDED. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AGAIN ON 10/15/19 WITH 42K MILES AND THE TECH WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND A 5 MINUTE TRIP IT WOBBLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT BRAKING TO 35MPH TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR OF DEATH/INJURY. FORD IS ORDERING THE SAME PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED IN APRIL 2019.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING ROUGHLY 70-75 MPH AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD (ALMOST LIKE A DOUBLE GROOVE IN THE PAVEMENT). IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE HIT THE BUMP, THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT IT FELT AS IF IT WAS "FLOATING" ON THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE THOUGHT WE HAD BLOWN A TIRE, SO WE REDUCED OUR SPEED AND MOVED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS IT TURNS OUT, WE HAD NOT; WE CHECKED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANY OF THE SENSORS INDICATED THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. IT APPEARED AS IF EVERYTHING WAS OKAY SO WE WENT BACK TO DRIVING TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY, THE VERY SAME THING OCCURRED AND AGAIN, WE PULLED OVER. THIS TIME, WE DIDN'T GET OUT TO CHECK THE TIRES BUT WE DID RUN THROUGH OUR SENSORS BUT AGAIN, EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE. SO, WE SLOWLY RETURNED TO DRIVING. AS SOON AS WE GOT TO WORK WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM PICK THE TRUCK UP WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. WITH WHAT LITTLE RESEARCH WE HAVE DONE, IT APPEARS THAT OUR TRUCK HAS WHAT IS BEING CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
2017 PRE OWNED FORD F250 DIESEL PURCHASED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. PURCHASED TRUCK NOV 2018. EXPERIENCED 6-7 EPISODES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ONLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50-60 MPH WHEN HITTING SEMI ROUGH ROAD. IT BEGINS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY AND WON'T STOP EVEN WHEN CONTINUING ON TO SMOOTH ROAD. ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER IT STARTS IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 50 MPH (THEREBY FRONT LOADING THE SUSPENSION BY APPLYING THE BRAKES) WHICH IS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, BE AWARE THIS TRUCK IS TOTALLY STOCK FROM FORD. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS OF ANY KIND. TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT 11 MONTHS. TRUCK IS GREAT IN EVERY OTHER WAY AND DRIVES REALLY WELL IN EVERY OTHER WAY. THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, BUT IS MORE LIKELY THE ROUGHER THE ROAD IS AT THOSE SPEEDS. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP IN AUG 2019 AND THEY REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS IN FRONT END SUSPENSION ALL FREE OF CHARGE. IT JUST DID THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN THIS LAST WEEKEND 10/12/19. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A 1K MILE TRIP THIS NEXT WEEK SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND TRUCK IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE ON 11/4/19. WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS DOES NEARLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. IT AT LEAST CAUSES IT TO VEER 1-2 FEET OUT OF THE LANE YOU ARE IN. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN TOWING A 5-10K POUND LOAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY LESS DANGEROUS ITEMS RECALLED ON VARIOUS VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSED. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED ONE DAY WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION ADVANCED WEAR OF FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS AND TIRES OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

SO I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END OF MY 2019 FORD SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I TOLD THEM ON APRIL 26TH THAT IT SEEMED TO BE PULLING AND THEY CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS OKAY AND WITHIN SPECS. I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM UNTIL SEPTEMBER WHEN IT GOT REALLY BAD AND ANYTIME I WENT OVER A UNEVEN PATCH OR A CHANGE IN ROAD MATERIAL IT WOULD JERK ME OUT OF MY LANE. I TOOK IT TO THE QUICK LANE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN BAKERSFIELD ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE DRAG LINK, THAT IT HAD BROKEN AND THEY HAD REPLACED IT. IT DROVE OKAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 30TH AS I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE MY TRUCK STARTED TO DO THE DEATH WOBBLE, MY STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WAS BOUNCING. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND I WAS ONLY DOING 45 ORIGINALLY. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPER AND THEY REPLACED IT AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WELL LESS THEN THREE WEEKS LATER ITS STILL DOING IT JUST NOT AS SEVER. I CALLED FORD AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND EXPLAINED IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN ONLY TO GET MY APPOINTMENT CHANGED DUE TO A MEETING AND A PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CALL BACK. NEVER GOT THE CALL AND NOW IM PAYING FOR A TRUCK THAT IS JUST SITTING IN MY FRONT YARD BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. TRUCK IS VIRTUALLY UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH IDENTIFIES THE PROBLEM AS A WORN OUT DRAG LINK. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING
MY TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT WAS REPAIRED AT 12,000 MILES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IS DOING IT AGAIN AT 20,000. WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PLACE IN THE ROAD OR A BRIDGE JOINT THE STEERING WILL START SHAKING TERRIBLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALMOST KILLED ME SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2019. I HIT A BRIDGE JOINT GOING 58 MPH IN A 70 MPH ZONE. THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING SO BAD I COULD BARELY HOLD IT IN THE LANE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE BETWEEN TWO SEMIS WITH ANOTHER SEMI CLOSE BEHIND ME. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN SO FAST THE SEMI BEHIND ME LOCKED HIS TRAILER BRAKES AND ALMOST HIT ME. THEY BLOCKED TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE SO I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON 10/12/19 AND 6 TIMES ON 10/13/19 AND NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER THOSE DATES. THE TRUCK IS NOW IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE FIXED AGAIN.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS TRUCK LIKE 4 OR 5 MONTHS AGO. I WAS ON A BACK ROAD NM185 GOING 55 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I COULDN'T STEER IT. THE TRUCK WENT INTO THE OTHER LANE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL BACK BEFORE A VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT OF US IN THE OTHER LANE. IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL AND EXTREMELY SCARY. I HAD CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK THAT WERE ESPECIALLY SCARED. WE WENT 40 THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT MORE ISSUES. I LATER HAD THE TRUCK TAKEN TO A SHOP WHERE THEY SAID THE TRACK BAR AND TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH OF COURSE AREN'T COVERED IN MY WARRANTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA.

I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL COMING DOWN HIGHWAY 260 IN ARIZONA, VERY MOUNTAINOUS ROADS. CRUISING AT ABOUT 75, HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THROWING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO THE LEFT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND THE TRUCK NORMALLY DRIVES SMOOTH, THIS UNEXPECTED EVENT WILL KILL SOMEONE THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL F250S AND F350S, THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE AND YOU ARE BEING COMPLACENT NOT TREATING THIS AS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT THROW PARTS AT IT. I'VE READ THIS IS A CASTER ISSUE. TOTAL [XXX] I HAVE A 65K TRUCK I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE, BE CAREFUL PEOPLE THIS CAN KILL YOU AND ANYONE IN YOUR VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU WILL THANK GOD WHEN YOU CAN MAKE IT STOP IF YOU'RE ALIVE, I'M A TOTAL FORD GUY, BUT THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY OPINION ON MY VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK AND FORD. FORD IF ANYONE READS THIS YOU PEOPLE ARE PUKES. KNOWING THIS ISSUE AND NOT RECALLING IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2017 F250 WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES. FOR 2 WEEKS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING SEVERE STEERING ISSUES AT 50-70MPH. ANYTIME A SMALL BUMP OCCURS IN THE ROAD, THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. VERY CONCERNING!
