SERVICE BRAKES
TRUCK IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE WHEN BRAKING EVER SO SLIGHTLY ABOVE 45 MILES AN HOUR. EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND CHANGE LANES WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AN HOUR IN ORDER TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE, TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP PAUL CLARK FORD IN YOUR FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTOR HAD A HOTSPOT ON IT. WAS TOLD THE ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE SAME EXACT YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MORE OF THE RECALL ISSUE THEN A SPORADIC ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE

STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE DRIVING, IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO HIT THE CENTER MEDIAN CONCRETE WALL. THEN MAYBE 150 MILES LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. EACH TIME LOSING CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. SO ON OUR WAY BACK HOME. I DECIDED TO DRIVE MORE THAN 10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS DOING 55 AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED TODAY ONLY, THIS IS HAPPENEING A LOT AND MANY PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT AT RISK. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED TO FORD AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF GIVING THEIR CUSTOMERS THE RUN AROUND.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AT 17,000 MILES THE TRUCK STARTED GOING INTO WHAT EVERYONE CALLS A "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN AT HIGH SPEED AND/OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE HERE AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT AND THEIR FIX IS ONLY A PATCH THAT DELAYS THE PROBLEM TO A LATER DATE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65MPH TO 75MPH IF THE VEHICLE HITS A ROUGH BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE UP AND DOWN PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS. THIS CAUSES A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO 25MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY ON A HIGHWAY TRIP FROM CHICAGO TO DENVER GOING 70MPH ON I-76 WESTBOUND, MAY 9,2019. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF FORD DOES NOT FIX THIS ASAP. I HAVE DASH CAM VIDEO OF THIS BUT THE FILE IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD.

DEATH WOBBLE- 2016 FORD F-250 IS EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60MPH. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS NO TSB FROM FORD RECOGNIZING THE 2016 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE PARTS IN THE FRONT END THAT FORD SAYS TO ON MODELS THAT EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH ALL THESE VEHICLE AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 TO FIX THIS AND IT'S NOT FIXED YET.

AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING WILDLY. I STOPPED AND CHECKED FOR DAMAGE AND THERE WAS NONE. TOOK IT TO MY FORD'S DEALER AND THEY DESCRIBED IT AS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. I RECENTLY WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND A ROUGH SECTION OF ROAD CAUSED IT TO BEGIN THE DEATH WOBBLE. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND EXAMINED IT AGAIN. STARTED DRIVING AND THE WILD VIBRATION STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER TO FIX.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE AUTOMATIC TAILGATE DEPLOYING OR OPENING DURING TRANSIT. I WAS HAULING CARGO AND THE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TAILGATE OPENED AND THE LOAD EJECTED FROM THE THE BED OF TRUCK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO ANYONE ELSE PROPERTY. AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. IT HAPPENS NOW REGULARLY AND NUMEROUS TIMES DURING A DAY. I DO NOT HAUL CARGO NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. NOW THE TRUCK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE INVOLVED. THE WINDOWS, RADIO AND LIGHTS HAVE ISSUES. THE TAILGATE HAS NO NOW STOPPED OPENING RANDOMLY AND IS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION, THIS COULD BE DO TO EXTREME FORCE I APPLIED DURING CLOSING IT IN WHILE STETTING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION RECENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT P[PANEL ON THE VEHICLE IS VERY INTELLIGENT AND ALL THE SETTINGS REGULAR DISCONNECT OR MALFUNCTION NOW. I AM AFRAID TO USE THE THE CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUOUSLY RANDOM NATURE OF THE ELECTRONIC FAILURES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BACKUP CAMERA AND BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE/INTERMITTENT DUE TO WATER IN ORIGINAL FORD WIRING HARNESS PIGTAILS, LOCATED ON UNDERSIDE EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. WARRANTY SHOWS ALL WIRING HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS AS COVERED. SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY PURCHASED FORD PREMIUM ESP WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES ON ODOMETER, BUT WORK TO FIX THE ISSUES ARE BEING REFUSED BY FORD SERVICE DEPT BECAUSE OF "WATER INTRUSION", DESPITE BEING EXPOSED TO ROAD RAIN WATER. CALLED FORD WARRANTY CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT MY EMAIL THE NEXT DAY (IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS) ON POSSIBLE WARRANTY RESOLUTION. FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR MEANWHILE, WHICH I REFUSED. NOW, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK ONLY PART OF THE TIME (COME ON AND STAY ON FOR PERIODS OF TIME), THE BACKUP CAMERA IS PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING ANYTHING BEHIND ME. I'M AFRAID OF BEING REAR-ENDED OR BACKING INTO ANYTHING OR ANYONE. ALSO, FORD MADE ME PAY THE $100 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE DESPITE WORK NOT BEING RESOLVED. AND, ORIGINAL WIRING HARNESS WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE IS NOW DANGLING UNDER THE TRUCK AS THE TECH BROKE ALL OF THE PIECES THAT ATTACH THE WIRING IN PLACE TO THE VEHICLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT APPROX 60 TO 75 MPH UPON HITTING UNEVEN PAYMENT OR BUMPS IN ROAD THE FRONT WHEELS START AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE , STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO BAD CAN KEEP HANDS ON TO STEER AND NO STEERING IS POSSIBLE, IF BRAKES APPLIED ONLY GETS WORST, MUST COAST DOWN TO A STOP , U CANNOT STEER. I REPLACE ALL SHOCKS AND STEERING DAMPENER, STILL HAD WOBBLE AFTER WARDS. FORDS ANSWER IS TO CARRY WEIGHT IN THE REAR, AND NOT TO DRIVE ABOVE 60 MPH. THIS IS UNSAT. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THE CASTER SETTING WHICH IS NOT ADJUSTABLE IS ONLY 1 DEGREE FORWARD AND NEEDS TO BE 3 DEGREES FORWARD. FORD SAYS THIS MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN IN A PARKING LOT. PLEASE HELP FORD DO AM RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IN ALL 8 OF MY WOBBLES THREE I CAME ACROSS THE CENTER LANE BEFORE I COULD STOP AND THE OTHERS OFF ROAD IN THE DITCH.
