SUSPENSION
RIGHT AFTER PERFORMING THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT TOOK MY TRUCK FOR A FAMILY TRIP IN WHICH WE EXPERIENCE A SEVER SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK TO THE POINT THAT WE HAD TO COME TO A FULL STOP THE SPEED WE WERE TRAVELING WAS 70MPH, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE BUT IT WASN'T THE CASE. WE CONTINUE TRAVELING AT SLOWER SPEED (60 MPH) AND SLOWLY INCREASING IT AND AGAIN AT 70 MPH AND STEPPING ON A LITTLE BUMP THE SHAKE STARTED AGAIN. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF THE ISSUE WAS RELATED WITH THE BREAK JOB THEY DID. THEY MENTIONED TO ME ABOUT A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT THIS KIND OF TRUCKS ARE BEEN REPORTING. DEFINITELY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ⚠️ IF THIS ISSUE IS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE, DEFINITELY THERE IS A FAULT IN THE TRUCK SUSPENSION.

STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS
I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-85 IN MEBANE, NC ON THE NIGHT OF 07/29/19 WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BEGAN TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPLODED. APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF OF THE TREAD DETACHED FROM THE TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK BED. MICHELIN LT 265 70 R 17 LTX AT/2, 10 PLY TIRES WERE ON THE TRUCK. I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRE. I CONTACTED MICHELIN ON 08/02/19 TO FILE A CLAIM AND WAS TOLD THAT WITHOUT THE TIRE THAT EXPLODED, A CLAIM COULDN'T BE FILED. I CONTACTED THE TIRE SHOP AND THE TIRES THAT WERE REMOVED FROM MY TRUCK HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISPOSED OF. I HAVE PROOF OF PURCHASE AND PHOTOS OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AND DAMAGE DONE TO MY TRUCK. MICHELIN STATED THAT PROOF OF PURCHASE AND PHOTOS WERE NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'M BEING OVERLOOKED FOR MICHELIN'S DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I GOT A AUTO BODY REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR THE TRUCK ON 08/02/19.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SECURITY SYSTEM GOES OFF AT RANDOM, SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. SHOP SAYS. NOTHING WRONG .... I BEG TO DIFFER, I CAN BE INSIDE A STORE, KEYS IN PURSE AND ALARM GOES OFF AND NO ONE AROUND TRUCK. OR AT HOME IN BED AT 2 OR 4 AM AND IT GOES OFF. NO ONE AROUND TRUCK KEYS ON COUNTER. I ALWAYS LOCK MY TRUCK NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT, BUT I HAVE TO FIND MY KEYS AND UNLOCK IT THEN RELOCK TO RESET THE ALARM. IT'S ANNOYING AND IM SURE INSURANCE WOULD LOOK TWICE ON COVERING A VEHICLE THAT SECURITY DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. IT LIKE CRYING WOLF WOLF I'M AFRAID MY TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY BE STOLEN ONE DAY. THEN WHO DO I BLAME?? FORD? THIS IS A RANDOM PROBLEM BUT CONTINUOUS . PLEASE DO SOMTHING. NOT SURE WHAT DOCUMENTATION TO SEND OTHER THAN WITNESSES.

TIRES
WE OWN A 2008 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK WITH BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN T/A TIRES. ON OR ABOUT 7/5/15, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE DEVELOPED TREAD FAILURE AS A PORTION OF THE TIRE TREAD BEGAN PEELING OFF WHILE TRAVELLING ON I-75. A SPARE TIRE WAS PUT ON AND THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AND A WARRANTY CLAIM WAS SUBMITTED AS IT WAS STILL UNDER TREAD WARRANTY. ON OR ABOUT 8/21/15, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON I-95, WHICH CAUSED NEARLY $3000.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN T/A TIRES BUT NOT FOR THE 20 INCH TIRES WHICH ARE THE ONES DESCRIBED HERE. WE FEEL THAT THE 20 INCH TIRES NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR POSSIBLE RECALL AS WELL. THESE TIRES ONLY HAD 37,667 MILES ON THEM AND WERE PURCHASED NEW FROM FORD ON 7/23/12. THIS TIRE FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHICH COULD OF LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED/INFLATED AND ROTATED. *JS

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE". I SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 15 MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, IT DID IT AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH MY FAMILY, AND I HAD TO PUT ON WARNING LIGHTS, AND SLOW DOWN TO AN UNSAFE SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. LATER THAT WEEK, A COLLEAGUE BORROWED MY TRUCK AND WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY THAT NEEDED REPAIRS, AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AROUND 15 TIMES. AT THIS TIME, I WON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYWHERE OVER 40 MPH DUE TO FEAR OF HARMING MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY. WHEN THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS, YOU LOSE COMPLETE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TIGHT AND HOPE YOU CAN SLOW DOWN SAFELY. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE OVER 40 MPH.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT APPROXIMATELY 35,500 MILES I HAD THE TRACK BAR, A NEW STEERING BOX AND PITMAN ARM REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR, AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 THE TRUCK DEVELOPED "DEATH WOBBLE" 3 TIMES OVER SMALL BUMPS AT ABOUT 50MPH . I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY BACK TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 IN THE FAST LANE THINKING THEY FIXED AND THE TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO DEATH WOBBLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 -70 MPH AND HAD TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR PILE UP AS THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. AFTER I GOT BACK I DROPPED THE TRUCK AT FORD AGAIN AND TOLD HIM DRIVE IT, WHICH HE WOULDN'T , HE SAID HE CHECKED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND THEY WERE TIGHT, HE SAID "TAKE TO SOME PLACE THAT HAS A BETTER ALIGNMENT RACK, SO I DID THAT AND PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR IT. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I REPLACED THE STEERING BOX TO A TOP OF THE LINE BOX OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN REPLACED . I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SAFELY SINCE NOV. OF 2018 AND IT IS NOW JUL. 29TH 2019. I CANT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF KILLING AN INNOCENT PERSON, EVEN THE MECHANIC THAT PUT THE SECOND STEERING BOX IN DID THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITH HIM AFTER THE 2ND REPLACEMENT BOX. AFTER LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONS I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PEOPLE ARE GOING DIE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. IT IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NOT DEATHS AND VERY SERIOUS INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS AS I HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO THE OTHER LANE SEVERAL TIMES AND DROP A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPEED VERY QUICKLY . I PAID $60,000 DOLLARS FOR A BRAND NEW TRUCK AND NOW NO ONE CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT, EVEN THE MECHANIC'S ARE SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD DEATH WOBBLE AT LEAST 13 TO 15 TIMES FROM JANUARY UNTIL NOW AND AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 70. PLEASE HELP !!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
VEHICLE MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 70,000. AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-65 MPH ANY MINOR BUMP WILL CAUSE TRUCK TO BEGIN TO VIBRATE THROUGHOUT THE STEERING SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENTLY WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES IT WORSE UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN BELOW 35MPH. THE TRUCK IS NOT ABLE TO BE STEERED DURING THIS EVENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL REPUTABLE MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE ASSURED ME THIS DISCREPANCY IS IN MANY F-250S AND NO ONE HAS THE COMPLETE SOLUTION. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NO INTEREST OR EXPECTATION OF A RECALL. THEY DID TELL ME TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A QUOTE TO REPLACE- TIE RODS, TIE ROD ENDS, BALL JOINTS, DRAG LINK, AND 'STEERING COMPONENTS'. THEY SAID IT WAS THE SECOND TRUCK BROUGHT IN THIS WEEK. THE WOULD WARRANTY THE PARTS BUT NOT THE PROBLEM AND THIS WOULD HELP ELIMINATE WHICH COMPONENTS WERE THE CULPRIT. SO IN EFFECT I'D BE PAYING TO REBUILD THE FRONT END AND NOT NECESSARILY FIX THE MOST DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE IN I'VE HAD IN A VEHICLE. NHTSA PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND HELP HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS 'EXPERIENCED THE 'F250 DEATH WOBBLE' ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT IS A SCARY FEELING WHEN IT HAPPENS. TH DEATH WOBBLE USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANY YOU HIT A ROUGH PATCH OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. DURING THE 'DEATH WOBBLE THE TRUCK BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION GETS LIGHT AND IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN THE PROPER LANE . FOR THESE REASONS, I REFUSE TO ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. SEEING HOW THIS IS A COMMON HOT BUTTON ISSUE ON THE F250 FORUM, I AM SURPRISED THAT FORD HAS NOT BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND TO FIX THESE KNOWN ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE IS INVOLVED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THE ' F250 DEATH WOBBLE!'
