SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE 46000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND FOUR TIMES MY REAR BRAKES HAVE LOCKED UP ON ME. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 17000 MILES SO CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY. IT IS NO WONDER I GOT A USED VEHICLE WITH SO LOW OF MILES. I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN DRIVING THIS TRUCK FOR ANY KIND OF DISTANCE. I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO MOVE STRANDED ON THE ROAD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I HAD TO DRIVE FIFTY MILES TOWING A TRAILOR WITH VICE GRIPS CRIMPING MY BRAKE LINE AFTER I BROKE THE CALIPER FREE AND GUESS WHAT THEY ARE LOCKED UP AGAIN.THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE AT 70 MPH GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. HAD TO HOLD THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND GET DOWN TO 25 MPH BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL. MY 2014 HAS 75,500 MILES. JUST ORDERED NEW TIRES AND GOT EXACT REPLACEMENTS AS I DON'T WANT TO GIVE FORD AN EXCUSE. THIS IS MY 12TH FORD AND NOW HAVE A VEHICLE MY FAMILY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FOR $45K. I HAVE HAD MANY STEERING AND SUSPENSION PARTS WEAR OUT AND GET LOOSE IN OTHER FORDS, BUT NEVER HAS ANY WEAR FORCED MY OFF THE ROAD AND NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. IF FORD DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM I WILL HAVE A NEW GMC IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I HAVE CALLS OUT TO THE OWNER OF MY LOCAL DEALER, BUT NO RESPONSE YE

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY TRUCK HAS HAD A WINDSHIELD LEAK FOR SOME TIME . APPROXIMATELY SINCE ABOUT 38,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO GABRIEL JORDAN FORD IN LIVINGSTON TEXAS WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW AND THE SERVICE MANAGER FAILED TO RECORD THE FIX INTO THEIR SYSTEM. AND OVER TIME WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE RAIN HAS RAN DOWN MY THE INSIDE OF THE CAB AND RUINED MY SYNC SYSTEM DISABLING IT . THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY COMPLAINT AND SO I AM WRITING TO YOU TO EXPRESS MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN YOUR PRODUCT. BECAUSE OF THE WATER THERE IS RUST STARTING INSIDE THE CAB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL AND A MOLDY SMELL . I BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I AM CONSIDERING NOT BUYING FROM FORD IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF POOR WORKMANSHIP.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE LEFT REAR BRAKE GETS HOT AND SMOKES AND WONT RELEASE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR FORD DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DROVE IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ON THAT TIRE ONLY NOW 3 TIMES. EACH TIME THE BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY WORN THROUGH THE METAL, THE ROTOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE CALIPERS. AGAIN THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WITH THE LEFT REAR TIRE. THE OTHER TIRES HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES ON THEM. SOMETHING HAS BEEN WRONG WITH THIS TIRE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WITH 37K MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND ALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND FOLLOWED BY DEALER, I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH HAULING A 13K LB 5TH WHEEL RV WHEN SUDDENLY TRUCK AND STEERING STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WITH A HEAVY LOAD ATTACHED I BRAKED AND SLOWED VEHICLE TO 50 MPH TO STOP SHAKING. I WAS 200 MILES FROM NEAREST FORD DEALER IN EL PASO AND DROVE TRUCK AND RV THERE FOR IMMEDIATE SERVICE. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THIS CONDITION IS COMMON WITH F250 TRUCKS EVEN UNDER 10K MILES! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING EPISODE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE IS A FORD TSA WHICH DESCRIBES THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING
STEERING OSCILLATIONS AKA "DEATH WOBBLE": AT 60-65 MPH OR GREATER, THE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATES VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE OSCILLATION ONLY STOPS AFTER LOWERING SPEED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS 23,000 MILES. THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM; THE DEALER FIXED IT BEFORE AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND USUALLY AT SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE THERE ARE PARTICULAR BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY SURFACE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WHICH FORD NEEDS TO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE. WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR BRIDGE TRANSITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALSO KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR ON A 75 MILE HOUR ROAD. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR KILL SOMEBODY. MY TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR WITH UNDER 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS FLAW WITH THE 2017 & 2018 FORD F250 TRUCKS. I SEE THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND IT IS SAD THAT THAT A MANDATE IS NOT BEING ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION.

STEERING
WHILE ON VACATION TOWING MY 31' 10,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER AT 60 MPH HEADING NORTH ON HWY 89 ARIZONA IN EARLY MAY 2019 I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SCARY WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE VEHICLE IN WHICH I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AND SLOW DOWN TO 33 MPH TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. WE WERE HALF WAY THROUGH OUR TRIP SO I KEPT THE SPEED AT 55 MPH OR LOWER TO GET HOME. I SINCE THEN RESEARCHED AND FOUND A FORD TSB CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR A POSSIBLE REPAIR YET AS WE ONLY USE IT TO TOW WITH.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 F-250 6.2 V8 GAS, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. I LOSE POWER STEERING, ELECTRICAL AND EVEN BRAKING IS AFFECTED. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, HOT OR COLD ENGINE. IT IS RANDOM AND VERY UNSAFE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, I CAN START THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL DRIVE NORMAL FOR 2-3 DAYS AND IT'LL HAPPEN RANDOMLY AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2006 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 PICK UP W/ 61.00 MILES , THAT HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HUBS AND SEALS, SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPER, STABILIZER BAR LINKS AND INNER & OUTER TIE RODS. HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED TWICE AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. DOES THIS FALL UNDER A RECALL? I HAVE SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PARTS THAT I DID. IS THERE A FIX, AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS? THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENS EVERY DAY, SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE! IN OCTOBER OF 2018 WITH JUST 14,000 MILES MY TRUCK IT WENT INTO A HORRIBLE STEERING OSCILLATION AFTER HITTING A HIGHWAY IRREGULARITY AT 65 MPH. IT NEARLY RIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOLEDO FORD DEALER AND HE CONFIRMED THAT I HAD THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". THEY REPLACED SOME FRONT END PARTS, ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT, AND REBALANCED THE TIRES PER FORD MOTOR COMPANY. 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND JUST AS VIOLENTLY. BACK FOR MORE PARTS AND SERVICE. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT A NEW STEERING STABILIZER WAS INSTALLED. EVERYTHING WAS PEACHY UNTIL MAY 22, 2019 WITH 20,7000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN A CURVE AT LEGAL FREEWAY SPEEDS. ROAD IRREGULARITIES SEEM TO START THE WOBBLE. IT WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME TOMORROW JUNE 4, 2019.. THE DEALER HAS TRIED VERY HARD TO CORRECT THIS DEADLY ISSUE BUT I'M GUESSING THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK!!! HELP!!! I KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE. HOW MANY OWNERS HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE FORD IS COERCED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM?
