STEERING
MY 2017 FORD F-250 WAS HAVING WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN I DROVE OVER 65MPH AND HIT ANY IMPERFECTION IN THE ROADWAY (SMALL POT HOLE, UNEVEN SURFACE AT BRIDGES, VERY SMALL TEXTURED ROAD) THIS HAPPENED AROUND 5 TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THEY LOOKED IT OVER, THEY SAID IT WAS STABILIZER BAR, TENSION ROD AND BUSHINGS WORE OUT, PICK-UP HAD 50K MILES SO... NO WARRANTY ON REPAIRS ($895.00 IN REPAIRS) . THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, ONCE WOBBLE STARTED I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 40-45 MPH AND PULL TO SHOULDER OF HI WAY TO STOP SEVERE SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BOUNCING. IT FELT LIKE A BLOW OUT ON THE FRONT TIRES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH I HIT A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE'S STEERING BECAME VIOLENTLY ERRATIC, JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM MY HANDS AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AS IF IT WAS BEING TORN APART INTERNALLY. I HAD TO SLOW TO ALMOST 10 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS ACTED IN SUCH A MANNER.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE WAS A BLACK DUALLY FORD F250 THAT WAS TRADED IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO CARMAX OR CARVANA. THE REGISTERED OWNER WAS (XXXXX) FROM SANTA MARIA, CA BUT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO TRANSPORT CARS BY (YYYYY)B/D 3/3/82 OWNER OF WHITE LIGHTENING TRANSPORT LLC. THIS TRUCK HAD WELL OVER 300K MILES AND MR (YYYYY) HAD THE MILAGE TURNED BACK AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I BELIEVE IT STATED ABOUT 37K AT TRADE IN. HE MET THE DEALER ON 166 AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO PROGRAM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RIGHT BEFORE TRADING IT IN. I AM NOT SURE OF THE TRADE IN DATE OR VINDICATION BUT I'M POSITIVE THE MILEAGE WAS TURNED BACK 3 TIMES THAT I AM AWARE OF. HE TOOK IT FOR OIL CHANGES AND NEW TIRES SO SOMEWHERE HE HAD TO SLIP UP AND THE MILEAGE WAS LOGGED. NOT POSITIVE OF THE TRADE IN DATE BUT IT WAS RECENT PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
TSB # 18-2268 AT 60 MPH ON A SMOOTH FLAT HIGHWAY AND AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ONTO IT. ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO UNDER 30 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED. BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC I WAS NOT ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GOING FROM 60 MPH TO 30 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE (FAST LANE) WAS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEARING DOWN ON ME BLOWING MADLY AS HE TRIED TO SLOW HIS TRUCK DOWN FROM REAR ENDING ME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT ON 06/04/2019 @ CIOCCA FORD IN QUAKERTOWN

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2012 F-250 HAS 126,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A STEERING VIBRATION AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS AND ROUGH ROADS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AND DROVE OVER SOME ROUGH AREAS IN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD LITTLE CONTROL AND ALMOST WENT OFF THE SIDE OF OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH HAS ABOUT A 2000 FOOT DROP. I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP BUT GOT IT SLOWED DOWN AND THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED. THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE ABOUT FORD'S F-250 "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM CERTAIN THIS IS WHAT I EXPERIENCED AND HAVE CHECKED THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND FOUND NO OBVIOUS PROBLEM. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'M SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY TALK OF A RECALL. I AM A RETIRED ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE TRAC BAR & BALL JOINT WEARING PREMATURELY AND NOT ENOUGH POSITIVE CASTER WHICH IS NON ADJUSTABLE FOR THIS MODEL. I CAN SEE THESE COMPONENTS POSSIBLY CAUSING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE S KILLED!

SERVICE BRAKES
REAR BRAKE LINE (STEEL) RUPTURED RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES AT ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE BRAKE LINE WAS ROUTED TO CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK RESULTING IN THE LINE RUBBING ON THE GAS TANK. OVERTIME, THE COATING ON THE LINE FAILED AND THEN THE EXPOSED BARE METAL RUSTED. WHEN THE METAL BECAME TO THIN, THE PRESSURE IN THE LINE RUPTURED THE BRAKE LINE AT THE THIN/RUSTED LOCATION. ALL BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT AND THE BRAKES NO LONGER WORKED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED ON A CITY STREET. IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN ASSEMBLED SO THAT THE BRAKE LINES COULD NOT CONTACT THE GAS TANK, THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE. VIOLENT SHAKING AND WHEEL OSCILLATION OCCURS IF YOU HIT A BUMP WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR GREATER. THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND BECOMES TOUGH OR IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I'VE BEEN FORCED INTO ONCOMING LANES WHILE TRAVELING DOWN PAVED ROADS AND INTO OTHER LANES ON 2-3 LANE HIGHWAYS. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OPPOSING TRAFFIC TO CONTEND WITH AT THE TIME OR SERIOUS INJURY AND FATALITIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED EXCESSIVE BREAK DUST ON THE RIMS AFTER SHORT TRIPS (250 MILES OR LESS).

POWER TRAIN
ON DECELERATION THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER DRIVEN FOR 10-15 MINUTES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DON'T NOTICE THE STALL UNTIL I APPLY THE GAS PEDAL. A COUPLE OF TIMES I WAS TURNING, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN SEVERELY TO GIVE ME MORE TIME TO TURN( NO POWER STEERING). I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CODE WAS A THROTTLE BODY CODE P2104.I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE STALLING OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS. AT THIS TIME THE STALLING HASN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN BUT THE CODE IS STILL THERE, NOW I HAVE TO SMOG THIS VEHICLE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS CONDITION.

SUSPENSION
FRONT SUSPENSION DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH HIT A SMALL SERIES OF BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE SO BAD I COULD NOT KEEP IT IN MY LANE. I ENDED UP CROSSING TWO LANES OF I-70 AND INTO THE MEDIAN BEFORE I COULD GET THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL. TRUCK WAS NOT DAMAGED BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY KILLED. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK UNTIL THIS GETS FIXED BUT ITS SOMETHING THAT FORD NEEDS TO COVER AND ADDRESS

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE IN MOTION, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60-70MPH AND AT LOW SPEEDS OF 30-40MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWICE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH VERY LIGHT LOAD IN THE BED (APPROXIMATELY 110LBS). THIS HAS BEEN COINED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" FROM OTHER F-250 OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUES AS WELL. IT SEEMS THAT HITTING A BUMP CAUSES ISSUES WITHIN THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING.
