SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY 17 YR OLD SON HAS AN '06 FORD F-250 SD CC LARIAT 4X4 TRUCK, WHICH I PURCHASED 12/09. HE BEGAN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FRONT END "DEATH WOBBLE" EVERYONE ELSE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT. A MECHANIC REPLACED THE BUSHINGS IN THE FRONT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, WHICH COST $210. BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, MY SON COMPLAINED AGAIN A WEEK LATER AND HIS NEW TIRES PURCHASED FALL 2010 WERE BASICALLY BARE. SO I DROVE THE TRUCK THROUGH DOWNTOWN ATLANTA ON I-85, WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE HOV LANE AT 58 MPH IN A CURVE. THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY I COULD BARELY MAINTAIN MY LANE AND HAD CARS BESIDE, FRONT & REAR OF ME. THIS WOBBLE CAUSED A HUGE CUP OF CHANGE IN THE DASH CUPHOLDER TO SPEW LIKE A BUSTED WATER PIPE. WE JUST PUT NEW BF GOODRICH TIRES ON, BUT I'M CONCERNED THESE WON'T LAST A YEAR EITHER. HOW CAN IT BE FIXED? I'M VERY WORRIED FOR MY SON'S SAFETY. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN FOR FORD, AND THIS PARTICULAR WEBSITE HAS A BLETHERA OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

STEERING
I OWN A 2001 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 TRUCK. AFTER PURCHASING TRUCK USED, I REPLACED ALL STEERING COMPONENTS WITH O.E EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS AT CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITIES. ALL FACILITIES CERTIFIED ALL STEERING PARTS IN ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION FORM. DESPITE ALL THIS, THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY UPON HITTING ANY KIND OF ROUGH ROADS OR POTHOLES. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, I REALIZED THIS IS DEFECT WITH THE TRUCK EVEN GOING TO 2007 MODEL YEAR. THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS!! DANGEROUS!! DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FAIR MARKET VALUE GIVEN TO THE BUYERS. SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED. A DRIVER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FEAR DRIVING A TRUCK ON ANY ROAD EXCEPT A PERFECTLY SMOOTH ONE WHICH DOES NOT EXIST. I ALMOST DIED DRIVING THIS TRUCK CROSSING THE WALT WHITMAN BRIDGE FROM NJ TO PA. I AM NOT ALONE. NHTSA HAS COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE F250 SD 4X4 GOING INTO 2007 MODEL YEAR. GIVE FAIR MARKET VALUE AND RECALL THE TRUCKS. OWNERS CAN GET THE CREDIT TOWARD PURCHASE OF NEW OR USED FORD TRUCKS MODELS THAT DO NOT SUFFER FROM THIS DEFECT. FORD WILL NOT LOSE IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR MISTAKE WHILE NO ONE DIED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED YET!!!!. *TR
