STEERING
I BEGAN NOTICING SLIGHT FORMS OF WOBBLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS/POTHOLES AT 24K MILES OF MY 2017 4WD SWB CC F250 PLATINUM. THIS PAST WEEKEND I GOT THE EXTREME VERSION OF DEATH WOBBLE (EXTREME STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION) WHERE I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A COUPLE TIRES AT ABOUT 50 MPH AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD A SUPER DUTY DO THIS IN MY PAST MODELS GOING BACK TO THE MID 90'S. HONESTLY, IT HURT MY BACK AND SHOULDER TRYING TO CONTROL IT AND REQUIRED A DEATH GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM CHANGING LANES. ONLY THING THAT CAUSED IT TO SUBSIDE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH AND THEN IT SMOOTHED OUT LIKE NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY AND THANK GOODNESS NO VEHICLES WERE BESIDE ME. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE OR FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVE THIS TRUCK GIVEN THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM SCHEDULING TO TAKE TO DEALER AND LEAVE UNTIL IT IS GUARANTEED FIXED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD THE FRONT WHEEL START BOUNCING LIKE A BASKET BALL. IT IS A VIOLENT REACTION. IT ONLY STOP BOUNCING IF YOU SLOW DOWN. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 75 MPH. ALSO WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD, YOU LOOSE STEERING CONTROL FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND. THIS HAS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY BUMP. NOT GOOD.

WAS GOING AROUND 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING AND CAME UPON A BRIDGE APPROACH AND WHEN I HIT THE BRIDGE APPROACH I GOT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PASSING SOMEONE THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS SQUEEZE TIGHT AND SLOW DOWN TO PULL OVER. THE WOBBLE WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I CURRENTLY HAVE 10,959 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. SAME THING HAPPENED AT THIS SAME BRIDGE APPROACH IN MY 2013 F350.

STEERING
MY F-250 HAS SOME TERRIBLE STEERING ISSUES WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND MUCH WORSE WHEN I HIT A SERIES OF BUMPS. THE FRONT END STARTS BOUNCING AND THE TRUCK WILL BASICALLY BOUNCE SIDEWAYS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PREPARED AND COME CLOSE TO LOSING CONTROL. IT WILL BOUNCE OR WOBBLE GOING 40 MPH JUST AS BAD AS DOING 55 OR 60. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT ON ANY HIGHWAY, ONLY AROUND TOWN BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DEATH SHE MIGHT LOSE CONTROL AND WRECK OR LOSE CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AT HIGH SPEEDS HITTING POT HOLES OR BRIDGE DECKS, FRONT END WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY. IT'S REFERRED TO AS (DEATH WOBBLE) NEED TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD TO STOP IT. VERY DANGEROUS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IS TURNING A BLIND EYE.CRASHING ON THE FREEWAY AT THOSE SPEEDS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. SOME VEHICLES HAVE AS LITTLE AS 20000 MILES ON THEM, MINE HAS 51000. JUST PUT NEW TIRES,FRONT SHOTS AND STEERING STABILIZER ON IT. STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE GOOGLE (2014 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY FRONT END ISSUES). US CONSUMERS ARE PAYING BIG, BIG MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES. $700000 IN SOME CASES. I PAID 40000 AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. ALL I WANT IS FOR FORD TO FACE THE FACT'S AND FIX IT. BEFORE SOME GETS KILLED! I WROTE TO WILLIAM FORD AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY A WEEK AGO BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. I CAN'T STRESS TO YOU ENOUGH WHAT A DANGEROUS ISSUE THIS IS. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE JIM HACKETT DRIVE IT, THEN I WOULD BE FIXED. JUST A SIDE NOTE, THERE WAS A CONSUMER IN SILSBE TEXAS THAT NOTED THE SERVICE WRITER AT SILSBE FORD SAID THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHY FORD DOESN'T FIX THIS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM. IN CLOSING PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND HOLD FORDS FEET TO THE FIRE. THANK YOU.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND SENT METAL THROUGH THE FUEL LINES INTO THE INJECTORS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PUMP WENT OUT AND THE TRUCK SHUTDOWN WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING. THIS ISN'T SO MUCH A SAFETY RECALL BUT I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER 6.7 DIESEL OWNERS AND THE SAME HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. FORD WANTS $9000 TO FIX AND SAYS THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE 6.7'S . I AM LODGING THE COMPLAINT IN THE HOPES OF YOUR BOARD ENFORCING A RECALL. THAT IS MY ONLY REASON

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 55 NORTH OF SIKESTON, MISSOURI. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK. AND WAS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT PASSING A SEMI-TRUCK. SHE NOTICED THE TRUCK LOST POWER IN THE ENGINE AND A LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH RELATING TO THE POWER LOSS. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. AS SOON AS SHE STOPPED THE TRUCK, SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND TOLD OUR DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK. AS SOON AS THEY GOT TO THE TAILGATE FLAMES STARTED SHOOTING OUT OF THE TRUCK. SHE SAW THAT THE FIRE STARTED ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ENGINE WITH FLAMES DROPPING DOWN ABOUT ONE FOOT FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE OIL FILTER ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS SOON ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. SHE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI (FORD GROVES) EARLIER THAT DAY. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND ONLY PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE FIRE. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CHILD IN A CHILD RESTRAINT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BY D & K TOWING AND STORED AT THEIR FACILITY IN SIKESTON. THE SCOTT COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO THE FIRE. THE TRUCK AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PERSONAL PROPERTY WERE DESTROYED IN THE INCIDENT.
