STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE AS I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A SMALL PORTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE WOBBLE BECOMES SO SEVERE THAT I HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AFTER 6MONTHS FROM PURCHASE DATE (NEW) BUT FORD SAYS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 1-5X A WEEK AND I'VE NEARLY HIT SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME BY SWIRLING DURING THE WOBBLE. I LOOSE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. I HAVE HAD A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATES BETWEEN 60 MPH AND 75 MPH I WILL HIT A RIDGE OR POT HOLE ON ROADWAY; VEHICLE WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP AN EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION (AKA DEATH WOBBLE). WILL HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST STOP BEFORE DEATH WOBBLE GOES AWAY. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 27000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS ALL STOCK WITH NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIOS AND HAVE HAD ALL RRQUIRED SERVICES PERFORMED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED VEHICLE HAS PERFORMED FORD'S TSB 18-2268 ON VEHICLE; THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECEIVED ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE PERFORMED THEM; THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE ESCALATED THE ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THEY HAVE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER TO THE SITUATION; PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR THE SPECIFIC CASE NUMBER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2015 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY IN OCTOBER OF 2015 AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES FROM THE START. EVERY TIME I HAD AN ISSUE AND TO HAVE IT SERVICED, I WAS SURE TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THE EXPERTS HIRED BY FORD COULD CORRECT MY ISSUE OR SERVICE IT REGULARLY AS I SHOULD. IF THE EXPERTS ARE SERVICING MY VEHICLE, I EXPECT THEM TO FIRST IDENTITY IF THERE IS AN ISSUE, SECOND NOTIFY ME OR SOMEONE AT THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE AND THEN CORRECT THE ISSUE CONSIDERING MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS "BRAND NEW VEHICLE" IT RANDOMLY KILLED ON MY WIFE WHILE SHE'S SIMPLY TRAVELLING THE CITY STREETS OF OUR SMALL HOME TOWN. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK STARTED AND GETTING MY WIFE HOME SAFELY, I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND SAID, THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED. RUSTED AFTER HAVING IT FOR LESS THAN A YEAR?? THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WANTED ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET! LESS THAN A YEAR OFF THE LOT! IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP INVOLVED THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AFTER THEM HOLDING IT UNTOUCH FOR 2 WEEKS! NOW, AS I WAS TRAVELING ONE THE INTERSTATE, OVER 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, IM LEFT STRANDED YET AGAIN! I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP! AGAIN, STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO, NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT; ONLY TO LEARN THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINE AND FORD IS DENYING TO COVER IT. THE SERVICE GUY AT THIS DEALERSHIP SAID THE SAY AS THE ONE 500 MILES AWAY, "THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WE SEE ALL THE TIME." I WANT ANSWERS! I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET BACK HOME AND NOW MY VEHICLE IS AT A DEALERSHIP 500 MILES AWAY AND WILL NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE FORD HAS YET AGAIN, DENIED MY WARRANTY! I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT FROM EVERY SERVICE DONE ONLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN, I WANT ANSWERS!

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 60 AND 75 MPH THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATES BACK AND FORTH OUT OF CONTROL. THE MIRRORS RATTLE AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BOUNCES. THIS WILL OCCUR AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OF INTERSTATE OR WHEN BRAKING TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK MUST BE SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDES AND NORMAL DRIVING CAN OCCUR. A CONTINUING PROBLEM. WHEN I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR WARRANTY I AM SIMPLY TOLD "THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM"

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 FORD F250 SD 6.0L SPUTTERS, LUNGES & DIES OUT WHEN IDLE, WAITING IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING SLOWLY. LUCKILY, IT'S BEEN STARTING RIGHT BACK UP. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING QUITE OFTEN LATELY. LOOKED UP POSSIBLE CAUSES AND FOUND RECALL 05V270000 FROM 2005, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT ISSUE I AM HAVING. CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE ZERO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS TRUCK AND THAT THAT PARTICULAR RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY TRUCK. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT VEHICLE AND HOW THIS ISSUE HADN'T BEEN COVERED UNDER SAID RECALL. I HAVE THE NHTSA RECALL NO EA05003, BUT IT HAS TIMED OUT AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON THIS SITE. PLEASE REALIZE THAT ALL THESE SAME VEHICLE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IT ISN'T BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY FORD OR THE NHTSA.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS VEHICLE SUFFERS VIOLENT SHAKING AND SHUTTERING WHEN HITTING ROUGH PATCHES IN THE ROAD. THIS OCCURS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT I HAVE SEEN IT AT 45 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS OCCURS AT 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY INTERSTATE. THE SHAKING REQUIRES IMMMEDIATE SLOWDOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON ALL THE NEW FORD F-250 TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH THESE BIG TRUCKS. I CAN SPOT ONE FROM A MILE AWAY BECAUSE I'M SUDDENLY BLINDED BY THE FOUR SUPER BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS AND THEN SOME IDIOT HAVE THERE FOG LIGHTS ON ALSO. I HAVE NEARLY RAN OFF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MEETING THESE TRUCKS ONCOMING. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE FORD FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH, I WENT OVER A BUMP (BRIDGE EXPANSION GAP) AND MY TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING AND WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE 3 LANE INTERSTATE. I BEGAN DRIFTING TO THE PASSING LANE AS I WAS ON A CURVE AND COULD NOT STEER MY TRUCK. I HAD TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN TO 35MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDED AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OVER MY TRUCK. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEIR SUPERDUTY LINE OF TRUCKS. ITS A SHAME PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ACTION TAKES PLACE AS FORD WILL NOT OPENLY ADMIT TO A FAULT. THEIR FIX IS HALF HAZARD AND DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.
