2017 F-250 CURRENTLY HAS 19,000 MILES. 100 PERCENT STOCK VEHICLE. HAS SEVERE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEELS OF THE TRUCK ON CONCRETE ROADS AT 60 MPH. HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN PULLING A HORSE TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES AT THE TIME. ALMOST CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. WAS THE MOST VIOLENT SHAKING I HAVE EVER FELT IN A VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO BARELY GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM. THAT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREAK INCIDENT BUT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON. CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET. HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WHILE NOT PULLING ANYTHING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60MPH AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON HIGHWAYS OR INTERSTATES.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON MARCH 9, 2019 THE FRONT END OF MY 2018 FORD F250 BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING/ OSCILLATING AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND ENDED UP CROSSING TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE COMING TO REST IN THE GRASS MEDIAN STRIP OF THE HIGHWAY. I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS NEAR ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK ANYMORE DUE TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65MPH. WHEN I DROVE OVER AN OVERPASS. AT 65 MPH I WENT OVER THE EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES. AFTER SLOWING DOWN WE RETURNED TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ONLY TO HIT SOME POTHOLES TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WHERE WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM A SECOND TIME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM, AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, ON THE SAME HIGHWAY IN THE SAME SPOT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. HOWEVER ON 03/07/2019 MY WIFE TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN APPOINTMENT, AND ONCE AGAIN ON THE SAME HIGHWAY IN THE SAME PLACE AT 70MPH IT HAPPENED A FOURTH TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT OUR TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED, BALANCED , AND ARE NOT EVEN DOWN TO THE TREADWEAR INDICATORS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WITH NO NOTICE THE TRUCK CUT OFF AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT RESTART. BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION THE POLICE ORDERED A TOW TO MOVE IT QUICKLY. LATER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOWED IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD BUT THEY REQUIRED MORE THROUGH WORK TO QUOTE IT ALL. IT ENDED UP THE WHOLE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE FUEL INJECTORS. FORD CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WATER CONTAMENATED FUEL HOWEVER MY INSURANCE SENT A SAMPLE PULLED FROM THE TRUCK AND FOUND ONLY METALS CONSISTENT WITH THE MATERIAL FOUND IN THE FUEL SYSTEM BUT NO WATER. MY INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWED RECALLS FOR THIS TRUCK WERE ISSUED FOR A MISSING STRAP ON THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOT FOR MY VIN WHICH WAS PRODUCED IN THE KENTUCKY PLANT. WHEN I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AS THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER. THE TRUCK SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER. I WAS BILLED $9,493.49 BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED WATER CONTAINATION IN THE FUEL WHICH WAS NOT PRESENT. I HAD THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE CHECK THE LAST PLACED I PURCHASED FUEL AND IT WAS ALSO FINE AS WAS THE FUEL THE INSURANCE COMPANY PULLED FROM THE TRUCK. FORD OWES THE CONSUMER A RECALL AND REINBURSEMENT FOR THE CHANGES! THIS HAPPENED TO BE THE 2ND FUEL SYSTEM THIS TRUCK HAS RECEIVED. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I AM UNABLE TO LOAD THE SERVICE RECORD DETAILS DUE TO FILE SIZE. I WILL SEND THEM IF YOU WILL ALLOW IT.

2017 F250 44,000 MILES EXPERIENCING EXTREME FRONT TIRE WOBBLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY (DEATH WOBBLE) NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IM CROSSING OVER A BRIDGE OR HIT MINOR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. USUALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 65 MPH AND WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTS IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL AROUND 30 MPH I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS UNTIL I CAN GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I HAVE EVERYTHING STOCK ON MY TRUCK . I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO A SHOP TO CHECK FRONT END AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE TIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH FORD TRUCK OWNER BLOGS AND THIS IS A SERIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I AM A LONG TIME FORD TRUCK OWNER AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY TRUCKS.

2017 F250 FIRST DEATH WOBBLE AT 40,000 MILES, NOW 53,000 MILES AND EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE DAILY. DAILY DRIVER, PRAY TO GOD FORD CORRECTS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES! VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED DEATH WOBBLE FORCES YOU TO SLOW TO BELOW 40 MPH TO STOP, NOW YOU HAVE BECOME A ROLLING ROAD BLOCK TO BE REAR ENDED.

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING OVER 65 ON ANY ROAD AND YOU HIT A BUMP (LIKE COMING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT THE BEGINNING OF A BRIDGE). AFTER THE SHAKING HAS STARTED, IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A DEAD STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY, MYSELF, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN BABIED. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS DIED FROM THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST SO THIS REALLY IS CONCERNING. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

IN DEC OF 2018 THE FORD F250 EXHIBITED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHICH HAPPENS WHEN GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ONRAMP ENTERING HIGHWAY OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT OR POTHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 45-50 MPH. THE TRUCK EXPERIENCE EXTREME "BUMP STEER" AND HARMONIC OSCILLATIONS SO HARSH AS TO SEEM LIKE IT WAS A MULTIPLE TIRE BLOW OUT. DEALER TESTED AND EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE. HAD 32,727 MILES ON THE TRUCK AT THE TIME. FORD TSB 18-2268 SUPPOSEDLY WAS THE APPLIED FIX. HOWEVER WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND EXPANSION JOINTS THERE IS STILL A SLIGHT BUMP STEER AND SHIMMY BUT NOT ENOUGH TO OSCILLATE HARMONICALLY. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS ON THE SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. THIS IS A CONTROL ISSUE RELATED TO BOTH PART FAILURES AND DESIGN AS MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THESE INCIDENTS BEFORE 20,000 MILES. PARTS SHOULD NOT BE WEARING OUT THIS SOON.
