GOING 65-70 MILES ON FREEWAY AND MY TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVEN'T HAD IT MORE THAT 4 MONTHS AND THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE AND IT HAS. ITS SOMETHING THEY CALL A DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS VERY SCARY AND NOTHING I CAN DO TO CONTROL IT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT I JUST PAYED 50K AND CANNOT DRIVE!

MY HUSBAND OWNS A 2017 FORD F250. HE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND SINCE EARLY ON IN OWNING THE VEHICLE, HE HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT I WOULD CALL A DEATH SHAKE WHEN HE HITS BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT CAUSES NECK AND BACK PAIN EACH TIME. THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL HE CAN GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAUSES EXTREME DANGER ON THE INTERSTATE AND BUSY ROADS. JUST TODAY HE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT HE COULD BARELY CONTROL IT. ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A STOP. THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADS. I KNOW THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TO THE NTHSA AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO HOLD FORD MOTOR COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS MALFUNCTION OF THEIR VEHICLE. FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IN MANY OF THEIR TRUCKS. MY HUSBAND ALSO HAS A 2008 F250 THAT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING, JUST NOT AS OFTEN. WE HAD THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE HAD TO RESCHEDULE UNTIL HIS OTHER TRUCK IS OUT OF THE SHOP. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE HOLD FORD MOTOR ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DANGEROUS TRUCKS.

I HAVE A 2018 F250 4WD UNDER 25K MILES. TWICE LAST WEEK THE TRUCK SHOOK SO HARD AT (70 MPH) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO SPLIT IN HALF. THE TRUCK CAME TO AN ABRUPT HALT IN THE FREEWAY LAND AND NEARLY CAUSED TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE WEBSTER, TX POLICE WHO HELPED ME OFF THE FREEWAY WARNED ME NOT TO BELIEVE THE FORD DEALERSHIP IF FORD BLAMES THIS ON MY TIRES OR STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY SAID THERE WASN'T A PERMANENT FIX BUT NOW ARE CLAIMING OTHERWISE YET CAN'T BACK UP THE REPAIRS WITH CONCRETE EVIDENCE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD CLAIMS DUE TO LEMON LAWS IN TX THEY CAN'T BUY IT BACK. TWO DAYS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE TOLL RD GOING 70 MPH. FORD HAS NOW SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AT LENGTH AND CAN HONESTLY SAY NOT ONE THING I HAVE SEEN GUARANTEES A NEW STEERING DAMPER WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I POSED THE QUESTION TO FORD TODAY: SINCE FORD HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT (ALTHOUGH THEY WON'T REFER TO IT AS A DEFECT) AND I KILL MYSELF OR AN INNOCENT DRIVER WHO IS LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE? FORD REFERRED ME TO THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR AN ANSWER. I DID TALK TO THE LAW FIRM WHO FILED THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. I PLAN TO GO TO THE MEDIA WITH MY STORY, I WILL ALSO FILE ON THE WEBSITE LISTED ABOVE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR FORD TO FLAT IGNORE THIS MAJOR DEFECT! I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ARE KNOWN DOCUMENTED CASES JUST LIKE MY THAT FORD IS OUTRIGHT IGNORING. TWICE I WAS PUT IN HARMS WAY AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OF KILLED. THE VEHICLE WENT FOR 70 TO SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL TO STOPPING IN THE LANE. THE VEHICLE SHOOK SO BAD CARS WERE SWERVING TO MISS ME. THE HAPPENED 10/2/19 AND 10/4/19

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY TRUCK PASSED OVER SMALL BUMP IN ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ENTER LANE NEXT TO ME. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE PASSENGERS WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ALMOST CRASHED WITH THE SEMI I HAD PASSED PRIOR TO THE BUMP. THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED ONCE MY TRUCK REACHED A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THIS HAPPENED EARLIER ON SAME TRIP, HOWEVER, I DIDN'T THINK AS MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS GOING SLOWER AND IT DIDN'T LAST AS LONG. THE 2ND TIME MADE US FEEL OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER SO WE DROVE 10MPH BELOW POSTED SPEED LIMIT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOTICED VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE A SHAKING OF SOME SORT AT ABOUT MILE 33000 AND MENTIONED TO SERVICE MANAGE THAT THEIR WAS A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END BUT HIS COMPUTER WAS DOWN TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC ON IT WHEN HE DID OIL CHANGE AT 33805 HIS SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AND HEARD IT ALSO BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE ORIGIN AT THAT TIME. DEALERSHIP COULDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON VISITS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD ENCOUNTER A BUMP IN TRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 TO 52 MPH. I 75 SOUTH AT MICANOPY FL OVERPASS. HWY 351 IN DIXIE COUNTY FL. HWY 441 AT ALACHIA NORTH BOUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW ITS 4TH TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REQUESTED AND STILL HA E A VEHICLE THAT WILL WRECK EVENTUALLY. FUE TO QUICK RESPONCE SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS THEY SEEN THE TRUCK GOING ACROSS TO THE CENTER MEDIAN THEN BACK ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH OUT VERY MUCH CONTROL BY THE DRIVER EXCEPT TO TAP THE BRAKES AND PRAY. THE TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME AT A COMFORTABLE DISTANCE WHEN I FINALLY BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO REST AT THE SHOULD OF THE ON RAMP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNFIT TO DRIVE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. A SLIGHT BUMP AT TIME IS ALL IT TAKES TO SHAKE THE FRONT END AND YOUR ENTIRE TRUCK AND BEING. I FEEL I AM VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IT WAS TOWED BY DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THEY RECOMMEND TRADING IT IN ON ANOTHER BUT I WOULD FEEL THE SAME AS THEY HAVE STATED THAT 7 PERCENT OF THEIR 250S HAVE THIS ISSUE. THAT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WOULD NOT WANT ANY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS WHAT THEY CALL YHE DEATH WOBBLE. I WILL NOT DRIVE YHIS TRUCK AGAIN AND MY FAMILY WILL NOT EITHER. THEY REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPNER 2 TIMES THEN ANOTHER PART . AND WE STILL HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE USING THE BOSS 8'2" V-PLOW I PURCHASED FOR MY 2019 F250 I EXPERIENCED RADIO FAILURE, DASH LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITH A PLOW PREP PACKAGE, IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN THE PLOW IS RAISED TO THE HIGHEST POSITION AND THE CYLINDER BOTTOMS OUT

STEERING
I HAVE A 2017 FORD F250 SUPER CAB WITH APPROXIMATELY 28,600 MILES ON IT. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FRONT END OSCILLATION (DEATH WOBBLE) FOR ABOUT THE LAST 5,000 MILES. IT OCCURS WHEN TRAVELLING OVER APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS CERTAIN BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR EXPANSION JOINTS AT ROAD BRIDGES. VEHICLE SHAKES SIDE TO SIDE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ONLY STOPS WITH AN IMMEDIATE BRAKING TO AROUND 35 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT MYSELF AND MANY OTHER FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WHICH COULD LEAD TO MAJOR ACCIDENTS, INJURY, OR DEATH, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE HAVE A F-250 KING RANCH SUPER DUTY 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WHEN WE ARE GOING OVER 60 MPH AND WE HIT A BUMP IT GOES INTO A DEATH SHAKE. IT DOESNT MATTER IF IT IS A HIGHWAY OR COUNTRY ROAD IF YOU HIT A BUMP YOU BETTER HOLD ON CAUSE YOUR GOING INTO A DEATH SHAKE LIKE NO OTHER. IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 30 MPH BEFORE IT WILL STOP. VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN ON THE WEBSITE THIS IS COMMON AND FORD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES SO FAR. WE USUALLY LEAVE IT PARKED AT OUR HOUSE BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SO WE PAY A BIG NOTE TO LEAVE IT PARKED.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH YOU HIT A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD AND YOUR WHOLE TRUCK START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, YOU FEEL AS IF YOURE GOING TO LOSE CONTROL YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST COMPLETLY TO GAIN ANY CONTROL OF THE WHEEL. THIS IS SERIOUSLY SO DANGEROUS. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY PUT A NEW SHOCK ON, IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO I TOOK IT UP THERE AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A TRAIL AND ERROR PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. RIDICULOUS
