WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH OUR TRUCK UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS THE POWER STEERING GEARBOX STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. IT BARLEY WORKS IF THE TRUCK IS AT A STAND STILL IT WILL NOT TURN AT ALL. THEIR IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY POWER STEERING PUMP. I LOOK AT THE TOP OF THE GEAR-BOX AND NOTICE A LEAK COMING AROUND THE SET SCREW THAT HOLDS THE BEARINGS.

HAVE A 2015 FORD F-250 LARIAT. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. AROUND 40,000 MILES A CODE CAME ACROSS THE DASH DISPLAY HI'LL DESCENT/ TRACTION CONTROL FAULT-. SO IN TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. GOT IT BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THEY REPLACED SOME PART AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. AS I WAS DRIVING OUT THE SAME THING CANE ACROSS MY DASH AGAIN AND WENT OFF. I WENT FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CONTINUED TO COME ACROSS MY DASH. SOMETIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SOMETIMES SITTING. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN MY REMOTE START WOULDN'T WORK. ALONG WITH THOSE ISSUES MY BACK UP CAMERA WOULDN'T WORK. IT WOULD SAY CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE PLEASE CONTACT DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP NOW 1-25-17 AND HAS BEEN SINCE LAST SATURDAY. I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES AND THEY NEEDED TO KEEP UNTIL THE CODES POP UP. THE LADY ALSO TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THEIR SERVICE TECH'S TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. NO NEW NEWS FOR GETTING IT FIXED OTHER THEN THEY WILL CALL FORD TO SEE ABOUT ANOTHER ROUTE. ALSO BEFORE THIS TRUCK I HAD A 2012 F-250 LARIAT AND MY FUEL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

A WEEK PRIOR TO THAT I HAD IT IN THE SHOP GETTING NEW FILTERS AND OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TOO MUCH WATER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. BUT THEY CHANGED MY FILTERS A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
FOR THE PAST 3-4 YEARS MY TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHEN DRIVING (STRAIGHT OR IN SLIGHT TURN) APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OR HIGHER AND HITTING A TYPICAL BUMP IN THE ROAD, MY TRUCK BEGINS A VIOLENT SHAKING THAT STOPS WHEN I REDUCE THE SPEED ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS AT TWO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, BUT NOTHING DONE HAS CORRECTED THE ISSUE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 NEAR GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO ON DECEMBER 23, 2016. DRIVING 75 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) WITH NO CARS NEARBY. IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR, NO SNOW OR ICE ON THE ROAD. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 40 DEGREES F AND SUNNY. INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WAS SET ON 69 DEGREES F. OUT OF NOWHERE, THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED, BLOWING A HUGE HOLE THROUGH IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BULLET HAD GONE OFF. THERE WERE NO ROCKS NOR SHELL CASINGS FOUND IN THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, WE HAD THE SUNROOF VISOR CLOSED AND DID NOT GET INJURED BY GLASS. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLINER. WE WERE VERY STARTLED AND THE DAMAGE WAS APPROX $2217 TO FIX. FORD DENIED THE WARRANTY CLAIM (VEHICLE ONLY HAD 22K MILES AND WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES THAT WE HAD PURCHASED). THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING BECAUSE I WAS PANICKED AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEELS
I HAD A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING COME ON SO I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE TIRE SHOP. THE SHOP FOUND I HAD A CRACKED WHEEL ON THE RIGHT REAR OF MY TRUCK. I KEEP MY TRUCK AND WHEELS CLEAN AND HAVE NEVER PULLED HEAVY LOADS SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE A CRACKED WHEEL. THIS TRUCK IS A DAILY DRIVER ON US HIGHWAYS AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD.

STEERING
WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY TRUCK WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP WITHOUT HARD BRAKING OR AGGRESSIVELY JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL HAZARD AND AM AFRAID TO LET MY FAMILY DRIVE THE TRUCK. I WILL NOT LET MY GRAND CHILDREN RIDE WITH ME IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE TRUCK DECIDES TO SHAKE.

STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. AFTER TAKING IT TO GULLO DEALERSHIP WHILE IN TX, THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED US $2100 AND "FIXED" THE PROBLEM AFTER REPLACING THE PCM AND RCM MODULES. THE NEXT DAY, THE TRUCK STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY! TOOK IT BACK TO GULLO DEALERSHIP IN CONROE TX AND AFTER ANOTHER WEEK AND HELP FROM FORD SERVICE THEY STILL CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OUT MY DRIVEWAY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THEN TO THE LEFT THE SAME. WHILE SITTING STILL I COULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT NONE STOP. FLUID IS FULL. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT STEERS FINE UNTIL I TURN A LITTLE TO RIGHT OR LEFT THEN IT GETS TIGHT. I NOTICED FROM 2002 TO 2006 THEIR WERE STEERING PROBLEMS UNSOLVED. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS
WHEN HITTING UNEVEN PAYMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT TIRES AND STEERING STARTS TO SHAKE. AS SPEED DECREASES, THE WOBBLE INCREASES TO THE POINT WHERE THE VIOLENT SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. I FOLLOWED THE NHTSA RECOMMENDATION OF 65 PSI AND OTHER PRESSURES AND IT HAS NO AFFECT ON THE WOBBLE. IMO I BELIEVE THAT AS THE TIRES WEAR DOWN, THEY HAVE LESS TRACTION ON THE ROAD SURFACE WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE OSCILLATION OF THE TIRES TO OCCUR. PUTTING ON NEW TIRES IS A BANDAID FOR A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I HAVE HEARD THAT CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE AXLE (I BELIEVE CAMBER) CAN CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH SHIMS. IN MY CASE, I NOTICED THAT THE SHAKING BECAME WORSE AS I SLOWED DOWN. THE NATURAL REACTION IS TO BRAKE WHEN THE WOBBLE BEGINS. I DECIDED THAT THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURRED, I WOULD SPEED UP. IT WORKS. THE WOBBLE CORRECTS ITSELF IN A FEW SECONDS AND IS NEVER NEAR AS SEVERE AS WHEN I SLOW DOWN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO DEEPER THAN HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. FORD, YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
