WHEELS
ON SATURDAY, 6/2/18, MYSELF, HUSBAND AND ANOTHER PASSENGER WERE INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT IN GOOCHLAND COUNTY, VA. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL, NO ROUGH ROAD, POTHOLES AND NO ITEMS IN ROADWAY. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A RURAL, TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO SIDE SHOULDERS(JUST TREES) WHEN OUR LEFT REAR TIRE STARTED VIBRATING AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. BEFORE WE HAD TIME TO SLOW DOWN, WE HEARD LOUD BANGING AND CRUNCHING. SEEING AS THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, WE HAD TO STOP AND INVESTIGATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. WHAT WE SAW WAS A STILL FULLY INFLATED TIRE, WITH THE TREAD TORN OFF AND FLAPPING. THIS COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE BED AND WHO KNOWS POSSIBLY WHAT ELSE OF OUR TRUCK. THE TIRES HAVE GOOD TREAD LIFE, WERE INFLATED TO THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED PRESSURE AND WERE NOT DRY ROTTED OR WORN UNEVENLY. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED AN HOUR BACK HOME BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT A FLUKE, SEEING AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ON HERE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. OUR TIRES ARE 33X12.50X16.5 BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO. PICTURED BELOW IS THE PROOF OF TIRE TREAD SEPARATION AND DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON STARTING THE TRUCK AND ENTERING THE ROAD, THERE SEEMED TO BE AN ODOR OF GASOLINE. AS I PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE MILES TO EMPTY COMPUTER NUMBER WAS FALLING FASTER THAN THE DISTANCE TRAVELED. AT APPROX. A MILE AND A QUARTER TO HALF I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CHECK ON THE ODOR. PUTTING THE TRUCK IN PARK, I STARTED TO OPEN THE DOOR. AS I STARTED TO OPEN THE DOOR, FIRE ERUPTED FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE HOOD, IN A SINGLE LARGE IGNITION. AS SOON AS THE FIRE STARTED THE TRUCK DIED INSTANTLY. AS I EXITED THE TRUCK I COULD SEE FIRE BEHIND THE WHEEL WELL AND BLACK SMOKE BEGAN TO COME INTO THE TRUCK CAB. I GRABBED MY LUNCH PAIL AND CELL PHONE FROM THE DASH AND OPENED THE BACK DOOR TO GRAB TODDLER TWO CAR SEATS I HAD IN MY BACK SEAT. I CALLED 911 AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE, THEN CALLED MY WIFE. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE FRONT AND CAB WERE FULLY INVOLVED WITH FIRE. THERE WERE SEVERAL VERY WHITE EXPLOSIONS WHILE THE TRUCK WAS BURNING FROM BOTH THE ENGINE AREA AS WELL AS THE CAB.

IT WAS PERPENDICULAR TO MY VEHICLE AS I STRUCK IT IN THE CENTER OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. MY DRIVER'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. I THEN SPUN AROUND AND SLID SIDEWAYS STRIKING A GUARDRAIL IN MY DRIVER'S DOOR WHICH CAUSED ME TO ROLL ON THE GUARDRAIL FOR APPROX 112 FT. BEFORE COMING TO REST ON MY WHEELS. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE STEERING WHEEL NEVER DID. THE TRUCK SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE BEING A TOTAL LOSS.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK CERTIFIED USED IN 2011 WITH APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILE ON IT. MY PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 20000 MILES, MORE OR LESS. IT EXPERIENCES THE FAMOUS FORD DEATH WOBBLE REPEATEDLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ENCOUNTERING A SMALL BUMP OR HOLE IN A ROAD. IT IS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH AND MAKING SLIGHT LEFT TURN AS MAY BE ENCOUNTERED ON A FREEWAY ENTRANCE OR EXIT. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT STEERING CONTROL CAN BE TOTALLY LOST. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO NEARLY A FULL STOP WHICH CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS ON HIGH SPEED FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE READ AND HEARD OF MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE INVOLVING FORD PICKUPS FOR 2011 AND OTHER YEARS. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE BEING IGNORED BY FORD AS "NORMAL" OR BY THE NHTSA DUE TO THE LACK OR A RECALL OR SUGGESTED FIX.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE PULLED OVER THEN WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE TO PULL OUT IT BARELY MOVED. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BC THE TRUCK WOULDN'T MOVE SO I PUT IN IN REVERSE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND IT DID FINE. SO I TRIED TO PULL OUT AGAIN N DRIVE AND AGAIN IT WOULDN'T GO NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I GAVE IT. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS DROWNDING OUT OR IT ISN'T GETTING GAS. BUT LIKE I SAID. IT WON'T GO FORWARD IN DRIVE OR 1ST OR 2ND. ONLY IN REVERSE WILL IT MOVE NORMALLY. THIS IS MAJOR!!! I CAN'T HAVE MY KIDS AT RISK BC THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE TRUCK ABOUT 3 WEEKS SO IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO HOLD AND THE TRUCK EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. SLOWING DOWN TO 30 MILES AN HR WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED AT 105K MILES. IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY AND MAKES THE TRUCK ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. LOCAL MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH SUSPENSION OR STEERING. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RAMPANT WITH FORD OFFERING NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.
