STEERING, SUSPENSION, VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING 2009 FORD F-50 SUPER DUTY FX4 ON INSTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, AS I EXITED TO ANOTHER INTERSTATE I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHICH ONLY STOPPED WHEN I BROUGHT THE PICKUP TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY GAVE ME A SHOPPING LIST OF $3300. THIS INCLUDED WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEY ALSO DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM AND COULD NOT HELP. LOOKING INTO THIS ON GOOGLE, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS COMMONLY CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE INTERNET. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING HAS OCCURRED ONCE MORE TWO WEEKS LATER. I AM PARKING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I DECIDE WHAT I NEED TO DO. I AM AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHER MOTORISTS. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STARTED VEHICLE NORMALLY AND AS SOON AS THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, A LOUD 'POP' SOUND WAS HEARD BEHIND THE DASH AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE CAME INTO THE CAB FROM THE A/C VENTS. I CONTINUED FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND PARKED IN PLACE. THE SMOKE SUBSIDED. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROBLEMS INDICATED IN THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH RECALL AFFECTING 1993 FORD F-250 VEHICLES CAUSING UNDER HOOD FIRES. HOWEVER, AFTER CONTACTING FORD, THEY INDICATED THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF TOWING AND ANY REPAIRS.

WHEELS
WIFE WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON 580 COMING DOWN WHAT WE CALL THE ALTAMONT PASS ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS EMPTY SO THE BOUNCING ON THIS FREEWAY IS PRETTY STANDARD. SHE HEARD A LOAD EXPLOSION AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS SHREDDED ALONG WITH THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. PRAISE GOD SHE HAD JUST HAD THE TIRES ROTATED OTHERWISE THIS TIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FRONT AND PULLED HER ACROSS TRAFFIC. HER SPEED WAS IN THE RANGE OF 55-65 MPH WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR HER AND ON THE FREEWAY THIS TIME OF DAY. CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY.

THE TRUCK WOULD STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, NOT START AFTER DRIVING, STOP SHUT OFF AND THEN WOULD NOT START. SOME TIMES IT MAY NOT START FOR SEVERAL DAYS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD START UP AGAIN AND BE FINE FOR WEEKS THEN WOULD START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. IT MAY STOP AT ANY TIME ANY WHERE WHETHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE SHUTS OFF.

ENGINE
F250 6.0L DIESEL WITH 85844 MILES HAD THE EGR/OIL COOLER GO BAD THE REPAIR COST 4744.00 AT THE DEALER. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT AS USUAL NOT COVERED. THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE 6 LITERS ALONG WITH THE HEAD BOLS BEING SUBSTANDARD AND FAULTY FICM WHICH I REPLACED AT THE COST OF 525.00 AND DOING THE WORK MYSELF. I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS WITH FORD AND MY WARRANTY COMPANY WARRANTY DIRECT TO NO AVAIL. I DID GET THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO ADMIT THE EGR COOLER WAS COVERED BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE OTHER REPAIRS REQUIRED WITH THIS REPAIR SO I GOT 981.00 FROM THEM. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND I FEEL IT IS ABOUT TIME THE NESTA GOT INVOLVED AND GOT RECALLS ESTABLISHED. MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED HAVING A SMALL AMOUNT OF FLUID UNDER IT TH A T I HAD CHECKED OUT WITHIN 2 DAYS OF NOTICING WHICH LED TO THE EGR/OIL COOLER BEING REPAIRED AND THE FICM GOT REPLACED A FER TRUCK STARTED RUNNING REAL RUFF ON COLD START UP AND THE FICM SENT CODE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT CAN ALSO JUST STOP FUNCTIONING EVEN WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD BE FATAL.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55 - 65MPH AND HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. IN ORDER TO GET THIS TO STOP YOU MUST SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO BRING THE SPEED DOWN TO 15 - 20 MPH. FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISER AND MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE EXISTS AND HAS SINCE 2005 BUT THERE ISN'T ANY RESOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR OVER A MONTH IN TOTAL TIME. FORD REGION CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER STATES THE ISSUE IS THE ROAD. I FIND IT ODD THERE ARE MAY OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
