VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SUSPENSION
HAVE NOTICED MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVING DIFFERENT, THE STEERING HAS BEEN FEELING OFF. WELL TODAY I WAS GOING DOWN INTERSTATE I-4 AND WENT OVER A BUMP AND MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO A WALL. IT DID NOT DO IT ONCE IT DID IT 3 TIMES. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING. SO UNSAFE

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
2014 FORD F250 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP EXPLODED AND SENT METAL THROUGHOUT MY FIELD SYSTEM. WAS DRIVING TO HOUSTON GOING 80 MPH ON IH 10 AND MY TRUCK CAME TO A STOP AND POWER STEERING TURNED OFF SO I COULD BARELY GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. 18 WHEELERS WERE GOING BY ME GOING OVER 80 MPH. WE WERE ALMOST KILLED. WAS LEFT IN 106 DEGREE HEAT FOR OVER 2 HRS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. FORD DEALER IN HOUSTON WHERE IT WAS TOWED (100 MILES) WANTS $14,000.00 TO FIX THE TRUCK.

STEERING
IN DOING RESEARCH, I EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE.' WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THIS ACTION CAUSED US TO GO FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTHER ON THE FREEWAY. TWO HANDS WERE NEEDED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND NOT GO OFF THE ROAD. WE STOPPED AND INSPECTED AND SAW NOTHING.

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD, THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE TOWING AS WELL AS WITHOUT A LOAD. TRUCK WAS "FIXED" 2 YEARS AGO AND THE PROBLEM WASN'T AS BAD, BUT STILL PRESENT. AFTER A RECENT TIRE ROTATION, THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR A NEW DIAGNOSIS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
VIOLENT FRONT IN SHAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS CAUSED BY HITTING ANY SMALL BUMP IN ROADWAY. 'DEATH WOBBLE' I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS AT VARIOUS SEVERITY LEVELS, EACH REQUIRING VEHICLE TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. TODAY'S INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE, HIT A SMALL BUMP GOING OVER A BRIDGE, TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING CONTROL LOSS. THE SHAKING PULLED THE VEHICLE ACROSS NEIGHBORING LANE AND HAD TO SLOW TO 20-30 MPH BEFORE SHAKING STOPPED. VERY UNSAFE, LUCKILY NO VEHICLE WAS IN VICINITY PREVENTING POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. VERY CONCERNING & DANGEROUS. SEEMS TO BE NO FIX.

STEERING
THERE IS AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN HITTING A BUMP. IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. IT SHAKES SO BAD THAT THERE IS FEAR IT WILL VEER INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST SEND ME OFF THE ROAD. IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM NOW 5 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME ITS FIXED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IS COMES BACK AGAIN AND WORSE. I WILL BE PUTTING THE DATE OF THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. IT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-84, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE AND STEERING ISSUE THAT THREW MY VEHICLE FROM THE RIGHT LANE INTO THE LEFT LANE. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. I WAS TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND HIT SOME UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND SMALL POT HOLES. MY EXPERIENCE WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY RESEARCH OF THE SYMPTOMS CLOSELY MATCHES THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, FURTHER RESEARCH SHOW THAT THESE ALIGNMENTS CAN MAKE THINGS WORSE. I STRONGLY URGE THAT THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE 120 VOLT OUTLET IN THE DASH FAULTS OUT ALL THE TIME, IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. FORD CSR AT FIRST CLAIMED THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHICH WAS A LIE, AS I COULD SHOW THEM THE FAILURE, THEN FORD CSR SENT ME AN EMAIL STATING THEY CAN NOT FIX IT AND IF I DON'T LIKE THEIR ANSWER TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.

MY FORD TRUCK TYPICALLY EXPERIENCES THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN TRAVELING MORE THAN 50 MPH AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE TIRES HITS A GROOVE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO CONTROL THE VIOLENT SHAKING IS BY QUICKLY REDUCING SPEED, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WHEN ENTERING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVING OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 75-80MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON INTERSTATE WAS 80MPH), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLANTLY IN THE FRONT STEERING WHEEL, ALMOST LIKE A TIRE CAME OFF. I HAD A VEHICLE IN THE PASSING LANE BESIDE ME WITH A HORSE TRAILER ON AND IT WAS BAD ENOUGH HE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED AWAY FROM US AS I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO SLOW IT DOWN AND GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, UNTIL IT HIT ABOUT 20 OR 25MPH AND STOPPED SHAKING. I OWN JK JEEPS, SO I KNOW WHAT THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE FEELS LIKE AS I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR IT ON MY LIFTED JEEPS, BUT THIS IS A 2019 F250 WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON IT AND WELL, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I LIVE IN WYOMING & TRAVEL WITH THIS TRUCK AS A WORK VEHICLE AND TRAVEL IN THE PACIFIC NW, AND WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN WINTER DRIVING CONDITION AND SNOW AND ICE ON THE ROAD. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER! WHEN I CONTACTED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN, BUT DOUBTED THEY HAD ANY OPTIONS AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. KIND OF CONCERNING!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT APPROX. 7K MILES, FRONT TIRES SEEMED OUT OF BALANCE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER AND THEY HAD TROUBLE BALANCING FRONT WHEELS AND HAD TO BALANCE MORE THAN ONCE. AT APPROX. 40K MILES THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP/POTHOLE AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND OVER ON HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING CYCLE IS TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROX. 35 MPH. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 58K MILES AND BEGINS THE SHAKING, INTERMITTENTLY, AT SPEEDS OF 62 MPH AND GREATER ON HIGHWAY. I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE MECHANIC'S RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND INSTALL WHEEL CAMS, WHICH ARE NOT PARTS CURRENTLY ON THE VEHICLE FROM THE FACTORY. NONE OF THIS RECOMMENDED WORK OR DIAGNOSIS WAS COVERED BY FORD.
