STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT 125,000 MILES, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HITTING A ROUGH SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY ON A CURVE, THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY BEGIN TO SHAKE. IT BEGINS IN THE FRONT, SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY UNTIL I AM ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP IT. I HAVE REPLACED FRONT STABILIZER (STEERING DAMPER), DRAG LINK, TIE ROD END, ALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATION, TRACK BAR BUSHING, BALL JOINT, TIE RODS AND ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. IT STILL WILL RANDOMLY START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER I HAVE HIT A ROUGH SPOT AND ESPECIALLY IN A CURVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE TO REPLACE. I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS WORK ON THE VEHICLE AND WE HAVE TOGETHER SEARCHED THE WEB FOR OTHER CURES, BUT THERE ARE NONE TO BE FOUND. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY...THE SHAKING BECOMES SO VIOLENT THAT I BECOME A TRAFFIC HAZARD AND DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO HANDLE IT SAFELY. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS TODAY, 3/5/2019 BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING, IN BETWEEN STAYS AT THE MECHANIC, SINCE NOVEMBER.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING AROUND 60-65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. SLOWED VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 AND WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THE TSB ISSUED FOR THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM IS JUST PUTTING A BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM AND DOESN'T FULLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE GOING ONE HERE WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
STARTED AROUND 15000 MILES EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END (DEATH WOBBLE).IT HAPPENED WHEN I WENT OVER CERTAIN BRIDGES AND OVER PASSES ON THE INTERSTATE AROUND 70 MPH. NOW HAS 20000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SHAKING HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN NOW. EVEN GOING SLOWER ON SIDE ROADS, ALL IT TAKES IS HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD APPARENTLY THIS HAS BECOME A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST A MONTH FOR PARTS TO COME IN, THEY ARE ON BACKORDER

STEERING
VEHICLE ENTERS AN UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING WARBLE WHEN EXITING BRIDGES ON THE INTERSTATE. PROBLEM WAS MENTIONED AND "REPAIRED" AT 17000 MILES. YESTERDAY THE WARBLE CAME BACK AFTER EXITING A BRIDGE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT I STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN. THE VEHICLE IS STOCK WITH ONLY A TOOL BOX AND BED COVER ADDED. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AT 65 MPH HEADING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION WHILE PULLING A TRAILER ON HWY 64. TSB # 18-2268 HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 17000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS RETURNED MORE VIOLENTLY AFTER THE REPAIR AT 30124 MILES

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK DEVELOP AN INTERMITTENT ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE HIGHWAY SPEED FRONT END 'WOBBLE', IT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL THE TRUCK WHILE I SLOWED DOWN (IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE) I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS (BORMAN FORD IN LAS CRUCES NEW MEXICO, AND TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM...LAWLEY TEAM FORD IN SILVER CITY NEW MEXICO). BOTH DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS INDICATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO FORD SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF HIGHWAY SPEED STEERING/FRONT SUSPENSION WOBBBLE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AT SUGGESTED THAT I INSTALL A HEAVIER DUTY STEERING AFTERMARKET STABILIZER AND TRACK BAR...MY RESPONSE WAS THAT MY TRUCK WAS 2 YEARS OLD, WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, AND THAT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD PROVIDE THE PARTS AND NECESSARY REPAIR. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, MANY OWNERS OF 2017 AND NEWER FORD SUPERDUTY F-250'S ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, YET FORD APPEARS TO NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE. AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WOULD APPRECIATE HELP IN FORCING FORD TO ADDRESS THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE KNOW THAT MY TRUCK HAS ORIGINAL WHEELS AND TIRES, AND NO PORTION OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION OR STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. THANK YOU.
