I HAVE A FORD F250SD, WHEN I AM DOING 70MPH PLUS AND HIT A POT HOLE OR A GOOD SIZE BUMP THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIGOROUSLY. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO NEARLY TO 40MPH JUST TO GET IT TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH ABOUT 200+ OTHER FORD F250SD OWNERS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEARS RANGE FROM '06 TO '08. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH SHAKE" I COULD NOT STEER THE TRUCK OR STOP IMMEDIATELY THE TRUCK,IT VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE THANK GOD THERE WAS NO CARS THERE. THIS SCARED ME MY TWO CHILDREN AND MY FATHER IN-LAW I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE WERE ON A ROAD WITH NO GUARD RAILS. WE COULD HAVE EASILY ALL BEEN KILLED, THIS TRUCK HAS 40,000 ADULT DRIVEN MILES NO LIFT NO BIG TIRES NO OFF USE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND BE PUT IN THE MEDIA BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED. *TR

FORD 2006 F250 DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK TODAY AND I HIT A LITTLE POT HOLE IN THE ROAD AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING SO BAD I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE OFF AND WE WERE DEAD. SCARIEST THING EVER. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS WE PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE FIX. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS HOPE FORD DOSE THE RIGHT THING AND RECALLS THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I OWN A 08' F-250 EXTENDED CAB SUPER DUTY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES NOW MOSTLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-75 MPH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ORIGINALLY TOLD ME IT WAS TIRE PRESSURE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I BROUGHT IT BACK. THIS TIME THEY CHANGED THE STEERING WHEEL DAMPENER AND TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE FINE FROM HERE ON OUT. TO NO AVAIL, SAME EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED 6 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. TRUCK HIT AN IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR GOING TO BE THROWN OUT OF THE TRUCK CAB. YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS YOU CAN AND HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE WHILE RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL AND TRYING TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE. THE VEHICLES AROUND YOU ARE IN JEOPARDY OF YOU SMASHING INTO THEM BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT NATURE OF THE SHAKE AND THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE. I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS IN DANGER EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FORD 6.0L DIESEL EGR AND OIL COOLER ISSUES. HOW MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE THE OWNERS OF THESE ENGINES GOING TO HAVE TO SHELL OUT BEFORE FORD RECALLS THIS MOTOR. WHEN THESE COMPONENTS GO OUT, THERE IS A TOTAL LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND LARGE CLOUDS OF WHITE SMOKE THAT POUR OUT OF THE EXHAUST WHICH POSES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN MINE FAILED, I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION JUST BEFORE AN 18 WHEELER BROADSIDED ME. I HAD MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND WE ALMOST LOST AN ENTIRE FAMILY. GET IT FIXED FORD!!! NHTSA HAS TO PRESSURE FORD INTO GETTING THIS RECALL STARTED. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE MOTORS, AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ON FORD'S ACCOUNT. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. MY 2006 F250 BECOMES UNABLE TO DRIVE AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH THE FRONT WHEEL SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE TO ALMOST STOP FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING. AND THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND PULLING OFF THE ROAD IS A PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN A SHOW DONE ON THE PROBLEM ON TRUCK-U WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRACK BAR ON THE TRUCK TO REPAIR THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TALK TO FORD AND THE HAS SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSE BE THE TIRE NOT AT THE RIGHT PRESSURE WE IS BULL IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NOT HAVE DONE A SHOW ABOUT IT YOU WOULD THINK THAT FORD WOULD HAVE WATCHED THE SHOW AND THEN THEY WOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE GET HURT BEFORE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 FORD F250 PICKUP, 4WD, DIESEL. WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY IT CAUSES A FRONT END SHIMMY THAT NEARLY CAUSES ME TO LOSE CONTROL. IT HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW. IT HAS NO LIFT KIT, NO MODIFICATIONS. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH OTHER LATE MODEL F250 OWNERS AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD SAYS IT'S DUE TO LIFT KITS, OURS HAVE NO LIFT KITS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
