STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED ALL AFTERNOON AT WORK. UPON LEAVING WORK THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD NOISE THAT WENT ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN STOPPED. IMMEDIATELY I THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING BUT ONCE THE VEHICAL WAS STOPPED I SAW THAT THE UNIROYAL LIBERATOR A/T TIRE HAD BEEN THE ISSUE. IT HAD TREAD SEPERATION AND HAD DESTROYED THE BED OF MY TRUCK WHEN IT CAME APART.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, IF YOU DRIVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE, AT WHICH TIME YOU BASICALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING OVER RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS. THE SAME THING IS TRUE WHEN DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE WITH EXPANSION JOINTS. IN ALL CASES, THE TRUCK'S STEERING CAN OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. RECENTLY, WHILE TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL TRAILER 'ON THE HIGHWAY', I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN A 6% GRADE AND HIT A SMALL ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME, I WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TOWING A 12,000 POUND 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE WOBBLE SUBSIDED. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WHILE TOWING A TRAILER. THE WHOLE TIME DURING THE WOBBLE, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIFTING LEFT AND RIGHT OUT OF CONTROL. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE 2 HOUR TRIP. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S ALSO HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO TRAILER ATTACHED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SEEMS TO INVOLVE THE STEERING/SUSPENSION. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING
DRIVING 55 MPH ON HWY 161 IN AR (IN MOTION) WHEN I HIT A ROUGH SPOT ABOUT 2' BUMP THAT COMPLETELY CROSSED THE LANE I WAS DRIVING IN, THE FRONT WHEELS SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FRONT END SHOP AND ALL THEY COULD FIND WRONG WAS THE BALL JOINTS WERE A LITTLE WORN, I HAD THEM REPLACED AND THE TRUCK DID BETTER FOR ABOUT 3,000 MILES AND NOW IT'S WORSE THAN EVER. A TRUCK WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS WITH FORD.?

SERVICE BRAKES
I CAN NOT GET THIS SOFT BREAK TO GO AWAY! IT NEVER HAD A SOLID BREAK BUT I BOUGHT IT USED AND FIGURED IT NEEDED A BREAK JOB. I HAD CALIPERS TO START LOCKING UP ONE AFTER THE OTHER WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS OF EACH OTHER, SO I REPLACE THEM ALL. THEN THE NEW ONES STARTED GETTING HOT. SO I REPLACE ALL THE BREAK LINES AND MASTER CYLINDER. AFTER ALL THAT I STILL HAVE A VERY SOFT BREAK, ALMOST AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE LINES. I KNOW AIR CAN'T BE THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE BREAK SYSTEM WAS BLEED USING A MACHINE. NOW AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE COME ACROSS A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED, THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY HAVING BREAK ISSUE COME UP BECAUSE THEY FEEL SPONGY WHEN THEY ARE WORKING AT THERE BEST.

FRONT OIL COVER LEAKAGE. THERE ARE FOUR TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE DEALER. THE FRONT COVER BOLT LOOSEN THEMSELVES AND CAUSES A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT COVERS THE FRONT AND BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THIS LEADS TO MULTIPLE PARTS BEING REPLACE THAT DO NOT NEED REPLACED. AFTER CLEANING THE ENGINE AND FINDING THE LEAK, IT IS TIGHTENING FOUR BOLTS THAT ONLY THREE CAN BE TIGHTENED BY SIGHT. THE FOURTH BOLT COST $4000 TO TIGHTEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN F250 ISSUE.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTED LEAKING DIESEL EVERYWHERE. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THAT WHEN THE FILTER CLOGS THE TRUCK DOESN'T TURN OFF IT SPRAYS FUEL OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FILTER HOUSING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND SITTING IN THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH IT RUNNING NOT REALIZING IT WAS LEAKING . IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE.

I HAVE A 2015 F 250 SUPERDUTY, ORIGINAL OWNER, THAT I AM NOW EXPREIENCE WHAT IS REFERED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE.' THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 70 MPH, EITHER ON A CONCRETE FREEWAY, OR ON AN ASHPALT HIGHWAY, HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THEN THE TRUCK BOUNCES AROUND. YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, STEERING INPUT CAUSES IT TO INCREASE THE WOBBLING AND BOUNCING. EACH TIME THE WOBBLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS BELOW 40 MPH AND BRAKING. ONE TIME I HAD AN EMPTY 16 FOOT FLAT BED TRAILER, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED THE TRAILER TO FLIP. THE THREE OTHER TIMES NO TRAILER. EACH TIME I FELT HEPLLESS IN CONTROLING THE VEHICLE AND SCARRNG THE *^%^*& OUT OF ME.IN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECAL ON THIS ISSUE?
