STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. IT STARTS WHEN I'M DRIVING AND A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL START ROTATING LEFT AND RIGHT ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY UNLESS I SLOW ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO BELOW 10 MILES AN HOUR. MY NEIGHBOR AND COUNTLESS OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE A 2011 F250 THAT I'VE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I THINK IT'S AN GEOMETRY ISSUE. TWO TIMES I WAS ON THE NORTH LOOP 289 ACCESS ROAD TURNING NORTH UNDER THE OVERPASS AND TRAVELING AROUND 15-20 MILES AN HOUR. DEC 2017 THE THIRD TIME I WAS BETWEEN CR 7700 AND HWY 41 ON CR 1730 BOTH IN LUBBOCK TX. DEC 28TH 2018

STEERING, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OVER 55 MPH, AFTER HITTING UNEVEN PAVEMENT THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE ERECTLY. IF A TIGHT GRIP IS NOT MAINTAINED ON THE STEERING THE TRUCK WILL START TO MOVE ALL OVER THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 8500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE BUT THE FILES ARE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD.

STEERING
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, RUNNING ACROSS ANY ROAD IRREGULARITIES SUCH AS POTHOLES, BRIDGE OR ROAD EXPANSION JOINTS AT 50 MPH OR ABOVE CAUSES SHAKING IN THE FRONT END SO BAD THAT THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE ALMOST COMPETELY STOPPED TO REGAIN CONTROL. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN REAR END ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND SLOWING IN TRAFFIC. FIRST ATTEMPT AT A REPAIR WAS AT 2400 MILES WHEN THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD, IT CAUSED THE ADAPTIVE STEERING TO FAIL. THE ADAPTIVE STEERING/STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE. TRUCK HAS SPENT OVER 75 DAYS TOTAL IN THE SHOP IN 25000 MILES IS STILL NOT REPAIRED AND DEALER HAS NO ESTIMATE OF A REPAIR TIME. OUR FRIENDS REFUSE TO RIDE IN THE TRUCK AND MY WIFE IS SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, SHE AVOIDS ANY ROADS WHERE SHE WILL EXCEED 50 MPH. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED TO HAVE THE TRUCK REPURCHASED, YET FORD HAS REFUSED, SO WE HAVE RETAINED LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO PURSUE A LEMON LAW SUIT.

BOTH FRONT DOORS FROZE OPEN AND WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED. THE DEALER SAID FORD WON'T PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THEY DIDN'T THINK THE DOORS FROZE WHERE I LIVE. INSTEAD THE FORD DEALER SAID I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE DOORS OPEN! THAT'S RIGHT I'M SUPPOSED TO DRIVE WITH THE DOORS OPEN AND UNLATCHED! HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

SUSPENSION
FORD "DEATH WOBBLE" 2017 FORD F-250 4X4 WITH 20,000 HIGHWAY MILES DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH PAVED HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END WITHOUT WARNING. ANOTHER MOTORIST STOPPED TO CHECK ON THE DRIVER DESCRIBED THE FRONT WHEEL SHAKING SO BAD HE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO COME OFF. THREE DIFFERENT DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WE SPOKE TO ALL KNOW OF THE ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
DOOR LATCHES FREEZE BELOW 25 DEGREES F CAUSING THE DOORS TO NOT STAY CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT GO OUT AS IF DOORS ARE ACTUALLY SHUT, DOOR LOCKS STOP WORKING WHEN THIS OCCURS, BOTH MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. FORD HAS ISSUED FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 18N03 TO ADDRESS THIS, BUT MANY HAVE REPORTED STILL HAVING THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING THE FSA COMPLETED, THROUGH 2019 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES AS WELL. SUPPOSEDLY THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE LATCH/ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE FSA AND HOPEFULLY THE NEW LATCHES DONE ON 1/14/2019.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF "DEATH WOBBLE"...... VEHICLE ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT..... HAVE DONE RESEARCH. SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN OUT. FORD TOLD ME THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR FIX.....PEOPLE ONLINE SAYING EVEN AFTER FORD FIX STILL NOT FIXED. I DONT FEEL SAFE LETTING ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE....OR ME DRIVING IT ABOVE 50 MPH. SO BASICALLY IF YOU HIT A ROAD JOINT FOR A BRIDGE FOR EXAMPLE (WHERE I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 3 TIMES SO FAR) IT THROWS THE FRONT END INTO A RYTHMATIC VIOLENT SHAKE. YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH FOR IT TO GO AWAY. I AM GOOD AT RECOVERING FROM IT NOW..... BUT I ALMOST SMASHED INTO THE GUY NEXT TO ME THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED..... IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND FORD HAS NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL. PLEASE HELP AND MAKE THIS A MORE KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE READ ALOT OF THE SAME STORIES ONLINE. I HAD NOTHING IN TOW DURING MY OCCURRENCES. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.....

DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED TODAY WITH ME AND MY WIFE AND KIDS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE. SCARED MY WIFE TILL THE POINT SHE WAS CRYING. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CARS AROUND ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD WRECK.

POWER TRAIN
2018 FORD F-250 4X4 WITH 6.2L GASOLINE ENGINE: UNDER CERTAIN SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE AFTER DRIVER INPUT IS STOPPED. THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO REV UP (ALL THE WAY TO RED-LINE) WHILE IN GEAR EVEN THOUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BEEN RELEASED. THIS HAPPENS UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: - VEHICLE IS IN A "COLD START" CONDITION (ENGINE NOT UP TO TEMP) - VEHICLE IS IN "M" (MANUAL TRANSMISSION DRIVER SELECT MODE) - VEHICLE IS COMMANDED TO INITIALLY ACCELERATE WITH THE PEDAL, BUT THEN PEDAL IS SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASED, AND YET ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN UP TO RED-LINE - VEHICLE WILL SLOW DOWN IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED - VEHICLE WILL AGAIN SPEED UP AS SOON AS FUEL PEDAL IS PRESSED TO A LEVEL OF APPROXIMATELY 2300RPM EACH TIME, AND THEN THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ESSENTIALLY STARTS THIS "RUN AWAY" FREE REV CONDITION. - THE CONDITION IS MORE PROMINENT WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN "4L" MODE, BUT CAN HAPPEN IN "4H" OR EVEN "2H'. - CONDITION IS REPEATABLE; THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT AND CAN BE MADE TO HAPPEN WHEN CONDITIONS ARE AS STATED - CONDITION HAS BEEN EXHIBITED ON OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR BUILD DATA; OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE HAD THIS SAME CONDITION HAPPEN TO THEM

STEERING, SUSPENSION
SUSTAINED STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION (AKA DEATH WOBBLE) WHILE DRIVING DOWN A US HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH I ENCOUNTERED A SLIGHTLY ROUGH PATCH OF PAVEMENT THAT AFFECTED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK ONLY. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND THE OSCILLATIONS CEASED. FORD DOES HAVE A TSB OUT ON THE ISSUE BUT THEY ARE ONLY REPLACING PARTS THAT HAVE WORN OUT, NOT THE HIDDEN ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION PARTS TO WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY.
