WHEELS
THE WHEELS ON MY TRUCK ARE CRACKING AND BREAKING. THEY ARE 20X8 INCH FORGED ALUMINUM FACTORY INSTALLED OEM EQUIPMENT. THIS IS THE SECOND WHEEL I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AT A VERY EXPENSIVE COST. THE FIRST ONE I THOUGHT MAY HAVE BEEN A FLUKE AS MY TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IMPACTED AT THE TIRE OR WHEEL AREAS.I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MANY TRUCK OWNERS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE.I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY FOR MANY YEARS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISUUE CAN AND WILL HAPPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR MOVING, MORE PROBABLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE TRUCK HAD 80000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK LOSING STEERING WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPY ROADS OR MULTIPLE POTHOLES IN A ROW WHENEVER SPEED IS ABOVE 30 MPH. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HAVE LITERALLY LOST CONTROL ENOUGH THAT I CROSS LANES, UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED DEFECTS IN THE ROAD SURFACE. I HAVE TRAVELED ACROSS THE SAME ROAD SURFACE IN OTHER VEHICLES AT SIMILAR SPEEDS AND HAVE NO NOTICABLE EFFECTS. THE 2015 F250 SD HAS THE SAME LOSS IN CONTROL EVERY TIME.
