STEERING
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2012 F-250 LARIAT 6.7 LITER DIESEL AND I STARTED HAVING WHAT SOME MAY CALL A "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY FRONT END SOMETIMES IT'S NOT THAT BAD BUT AT OTHER TIMES FROM 40-60MPH IT GETS SO BAD I HAVE TO PULL OVER. I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH IT AND IM EVEN AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT SOMETHING BAD MAY HAPPEN ONE DAY. FORD DELIBERATELY REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TRIES TO OFFER BANDAIDS FOR THE PROBLEM I NEED THIS FIXED BECAUSE I DIDN'T SPEND 70K ON A TRUCK THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE A LAWSUIT I JOIN A LAWSUIT AND GET THIS MATTER TAKEN ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE'S HEADS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING JUST BY LOOKING ONLINE. *TR

TIRES, WHEELS, STEERING
HELLO, I HAVE A FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY KING RANCH 4X4 DIESEL THAT MY WIFE AND I ALWAYS WANTED. WE BOUGHT FROM A USED CAR/TRUCK LOT. THE RIMS AND TIRES ARE BRAND NEW AS IS ALIGNMENT WAS ALSO HAD DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE BUT IT DIDN'T.. WHEN THE TRUCK GETS TO 44 MILES AN HOUR AND UP TO 50 MPH MY F 250 HOPS LAND I DON'T KNOW IF ITS FROM THE FRONT OR BACK BUT I THINK ITS HAPPENING IN THE FRONT THE WAY IT FEELS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE BACK AND FORTH LIKE THE TIRES ARE WIGGLING RIGHT AND LEFT , IT IS MORE LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD RIM OR UNEVEN TIRE HOP, LIKE WHEN I WAS A KID AND COULDN'T AFFORD TIRES AND BOUGHT SOME USED ONES AND GET A BUM TIRE IN THE SET OR MAYBE A RIMS THAT I HAD TRADED FOR AND ONE WAS BAD.. WE LOVE THIS F 250 AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT, NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT DIESEL TRUCKS, ONLY LOVING THE SOUND AND POWER OF THEM SO THE PROBLEMS THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO POINT OUT OR MENTION TO US WE HAVE HAD ALL FIXED PROPERLY AND THIS HOP OR BOUNCE THAT MY F 250 IS EXPERIENCING IS REALLY A WORRY TO US SEEING HOW WE BOUGHT IT TO PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER WE PURCHASED TO EXPLORE THIS GREAT U.S.A. SO WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY DRIVING IT ATTACHED TO THE TRAILER OR NOT. I HAVE REPLACED RIMS, TIRES AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT AS STATED BEFORE AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH IF YOU GOOGLED IT AND SEEING ALOT OFL OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME EVEN LIFE THREATENING WHICH WORRIES ME ALSO IF WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, CAUSES SOMETHING TO BREAK OR HAPPEN. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERNS TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY HAZARD ON FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS.. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE TRUCK WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE (I-81 NEAR BLACKSBURG EXIT 118A,B,C) DRIVING UPHILL. WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE FROM THE MIDDLE LANE, WHILE LETTING OF THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DIES. AT THIS POINT LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING CONTROL. SINCE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE TRUCK THEN WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE FIRST LANE AND GET OFF THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK DIED AND FORTUNATELY DUE TO LOW TRAFFIC ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. AT THAT POINT, TRIED TO START THE TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT START SO HAD TO REMAIN ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL HELP COULD ARRIVE. STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. FORD BLOGS INDICATE THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS GONE UNADDRESSED. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON OUR 2011 FORD F250 4X4 PICKUP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHING AND BALL JOINTS AT A COST TO ME OF ABOUT $400. NOW 3,000 MILES AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY FORD THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD EASILY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO HAVING TO QUICKLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN 30 OR 40 MPH TO GET THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO STOP WOBBLING COULD EASILY CAUSE AN REAR END ACCIDENT LEADING TO CASUALTIES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ON 1-4 IN FLORIDA, WE RECEIVED A "STOP VEHICLE SAFELY NOW" WARNING AND THEN WITHIN SECONDS THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN. I WAS FORCED TO MAKE MULTIPLE, UNSAFE LANE CHANGES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH WHAT POWER I HAD LEFT. MY PREGNANT WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD SON WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE WERE 3 HOURS FROM HOME AND ANY FAMILY / FRIENDS WHO COULD HELP. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH CHARGED US $800 TO REPLACE 3 SENSORS AND GET THE TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. FURTHER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY, LEAVING US STRANDED IN A FOREIGN CITY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THE ISSUE WAS SIMPLY A SENSOR AND THERE IS NO REASON THE TRUCK SHOULDN'T HAVE JUST GIVEN US A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED US TO GET HOME. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER AND SEVERAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND FORD HAS NO INTENTION OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD WOULD KNOWINGLY PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *TR

ENGINE
ON 1/21/15 I ATTEMPTED TO START MY 2011 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS AT THE PARKING GARAGE WHERE I WORK. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO RANDALL REED FORD IN HUMBLE, TX. THE TECHNICIAN HAS STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE A FAULTY ENGINE EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED BEHIND THE DPF. HE MENTIONED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 6.7 POWER STROKE DIESEL MOTORS. HE IS NOW RECOMMENDING THAT ALL FOUR SENSORS BE REPLACED TO THE TURNE OF OVER $900. I SEE THAT A RECAL IS IN PLACE FOR THE SAME MODEL YEARS IN THE F 350 AND BIGGER WITH THE SAME ENGINE. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE F 250. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY F250 AT 30 MPH IN TOWN A WARNING ALARM WENT OFF FOLLOWED BY DISPLAY SAYING STOP ENGINE SAFELY NOW. AS I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT THE TRUCK TOTALLY DIED IN THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOTALLY INCAPACITATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT 8:30 PM IN THE RAIN WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. MYSELF AND 2 OTHER GUYS WERE ABLE TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION THROUGH TRAFFIC. I HAD TO CALL FOR A WRECKER AND HAVE IT TOWED. THE FORD DEALER FIXED IT THE NEXT MORNING AND ADVISED IT WAS A FAULTY EGT EXHAUST SENSOR. APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON AND THEY ADVISED THERE IS 4 OF THOSE SENSORS ON THE TRUCK. IT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE TO STALL THE TRUCK WHILE IT IS MOVING WITH NO WAY TO GET IT TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE, VEHICLE DISPLAYS WARNING TO STOP VEHICLE SAFELY. I BEGAN TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY SO THAT I COULD TURN AROUND AND HEAD BACK HOME AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. MY TRUCK WAS NOW BLOCKING THE ROADWAY AND A PERSON'S DRIVEWAY AT THE ONLY ENTRANCE TO THE SUBDIVISION DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE HOURS. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, AND TRIED TO RE-START IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT RE-START. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROADWAY. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HAUL THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR. (THIS WAS THE SECOND INDECENT FOR ME INVOLVING A FAULTY ENGINE SENSOR.) I HAVE SPENT MORE THAT $300 FIXING SENSORS THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL. LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROADWAY, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I AM JUST THANKFUL IT WAS IN A SUBDIVISION AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY. *TR
