2017 FORD F250 SUPERCREW DIESEL. DRIVING 40MPH OR FASTER ON HIGHWAY AND RUN OVER ANY TYPE OF UNEVEN SURFACE TRUCK SHAKES AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY!

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF ROADING OR ANYTHING CRAZY THAT SHOULD EVER MAKE THE SUSPENSION DO THAT KIND OF SHAKING! IT WAS HORRIFIC!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED TO BOUNCE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS PUTS YOU IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN A LOT BUT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 6-8 WEEKS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL TRUCK. IT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS DEATH WOBBLE. APPERENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT BUT I'M NOT SURE. IT MAY BE THE TSB18-2268. I PLAN ON CONTACTING MY FORD DEALER IN THE MORNING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS TODAY I CROSSED A ROUGH SPOT ON THE FREEWAY. MY STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR LIGHT TRAFFIC ALLOWING ME TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULD QUICKLY THEN I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS TERRIFYING. AFTER DOING A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THE PROBLEM I FOUND NUMEROUS WEB PAGES ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? NO ONE IS GETTING HELP FROM FORD. SOME ONE IS GOING TO DIE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT ON DEMAND: WHILE TRAVELING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AFTER CROSSING A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR AN EXPANSION JOINT THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE A SEVERE WOBBLE THAT COMPROMISES DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. TWICE MY VEHICLE HAS TRAVELLED ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WHILE SLOWING THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THIS WOBBLE HAS OCCURRED I HAVE HAD TO SLOW BELOW APPROXIMATELY 30MPH IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STOP. NEEDLESS TO SAY, DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND SUDDEN SLOWING IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IS A RECIPE FOR AN ACCIDENT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC TAIL GATE OPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT DRIVER SELECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO TAILGATE AND TRAVEL TRAILER. NO INDICATION TAILGATE IS OPEN GIVEN TO DRIVER. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST 100 MILES AFTER PURCHASE, THE FIRST TIME. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT. LAST INCIDENT I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO THE FREEWAY AND WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY A PASSING TRUCKER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 65MPH THAT MY TAILGATE HAD OPENED. IMAGINE IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE BED OF MY TRUCK AND CAUSED ANOTHER MOTORIST TO CRASH. I HAD HEARD A CREAKING SOUND WHILE TURNING ONTO A ROADWAY WITH MY AIRSTREAM TRAVEL TRAILER ATTACHED. THE TAILGATE HAD CRUNCHED AGAINST THE PROPANE BOTTLES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE, THE PROPANE BOTTLES, AND THE COVER. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN OTHER INSTANCES BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE UNTIL THIS LAST EVENT WHILE TOWING MY AIRSTREAM TRAVEL TRAILER. I CONTACTED FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IN AUSTIN; THEY SUBMITTED TO FORD AND FORD SAID THEY WOULD PAY PART OF THE BILL, BUT I AM ON THE HOOK TO PAY ALSO. THIS IS A FORD WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED SAME ISSUE. FORD SHOULD FIX THIS 100% BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS FROM ITEMS FALLING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK WHEN BED OPENS AUTOMATICALLY.

WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEED, IF YOU HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROADWAY, UNEVEN PAVEMENT, POTHOLE ETC. YOU WILL GET AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO HIT THE BRAKES.

I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT 6 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK ABOUT A YEAR, TWO OT THEM ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON MOUNTAIN ROAD AT CADE'S COVE TN. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF , NO INDICATION BEFORE HAND. ALL SMALL ICON SHOWED ON DASH INCLUDING BATTERY.

TURNED KEY ON AND ENGINE STARTED UP. WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO OUR CAMPGROUND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY / ACCIDENT AS THIS MOUNTAIN ROAD IS VERY NARROW AND MANY TURNS GOING BACK TO GATLINBURG TN. FROM CADE'S COVE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR DRY HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, THE TRUCK DRIFTED ACROSS TWO LANES BEFORE I COULD GET SLOWED DOWN TO 30MPH WHEN THE SHAKING STOPPED. I PULLED OFF, CHECKED THE TRUCK AS BEST I COULD THINKING SOMETHING HAD COME LOOSE. NOTHING FOUND, I WENT TO A GAS STATION AND VERIFIED TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT. CONTINUED ON, THE NEXT DAY AT THE SAME SPOT ON THE WAY TO WORK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED ' STEERING SHOCK' THIS IS A 2017 F250 WITH ONLY 25K MILES THIS WAS TERRIFYING AND SOMEONE MUST MAKE FORD FIXTHIS PERMAMENTLY.
