While driving down the freeway at approximately 65 mph, the front end starts violently shaking, and the steering wheel is turning back-and-forth rapidly so severe if a woman were driving, it would break her wrist. The only way you can get it to stop is to lower the speed down to below 40 mph.

ENGINE
Subject: Urgent Safety Concern Regarding Rocker Arm Failure on My Truck I am writing to formally express my concern regarding a critical issue with the rocker arms on my 2019 Ford F250 6.7L Diesel which has caused significant safety concerns. I believe that the failure of these parts poses a serious risk to both the driver and others on the road. Recently, I experienced a failure of the rocker arms while driving. This unexpected breakdown caused engine misfire, loss of power, and unusual noise and severely impacted the performance of the vehicle. It is concerning that such a vital component could fail under normal driving conditions, compromising the engine’s functionality and potentially causing complete engine failure. The failure of the rocker arms is not only costly in terms of repair but also represents a significant safety hazard. Should the issue worsen while driving, it could lead to sudden loss of power, stalling, or even damage to other critical engine components, putting the driver at risk of an accident. This danger is exacerbated if the failure occurs while driving at high speeds or in hazardous conditions. I strongly urge you to investigate the underlying cause of these failures and provide a resolution as soon as possible. Given the serious safety implications, I request a prompt response with information on how this issue will be addressed, whether through a recall, repair, or replacement of the defective parts, and a review of any related safety concerns.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
After hitting a small bump on the highway my steering violently vibrated and i had to pull to the side of the interstate over a bridge because I though I had a tire blow out. I almost got rear-ended due to slowing down form 70mph to a safe enough speed to pull over. After inspecting the tires I couldn't see anything wrong. The drove fine until i hit a similar bump on the way back. Once the vibration starts, it's extremely hard to maintain control of the vehicle. 2019 Ford F250 17,000 miles

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Automatic Emergency Braking engaged while the vehicle was in neutral tow. Resulted in 2 rear blown tires and damaged rims on vehicle.Attached the F250 correctly to the motorhome and confirmed truck was in neutral tow. Starting pulling the F250 and confirmed by looking at mirrors on the motorhome and rear camera that the wheels on the F250 were rolling both front axel and rear axel. After several blocks felt a hard tug while driving the motorhome, looked in the side mirror and rear camera and noticed smoke coming from rear tires. We pulled over on highway and stopped towing the vehicle. Went back to truck open the driver door and the dash was reading vehicle was still in neutral tow. Called a tow truck. The F250 truck was towed to the Moss Ford dealership. Ford dealership never neutral towed the F250 so they were unable to recreate the situation. However we had computer data on the F250 dating back to before the truck was delivered after manufacturing relating to brake issues. The Emergency brakes engages when we are driving it and comes on after stopping on a hill or after we tow a trailer. We have had this F250 into the dealership for brake warranty issues before we started to neutral tow the F250. We had neutral tow this truck over 1500 miles before this incident. We continued on our trip and currently in Chula Vista CA. Neutral tow the F250 all the way. However the Ford instructions on how to set up neutral tow does not tell you disable automated emergency braking system or disable the front collision warning system.

In Re REPEAT complaints, 22S09 NHTSA Recall Number22v087 Stephanie at Ford Recalls arranged for Lenoir City Ford to do a quick inspection of the UNDERBODY INSULATION. We agreed no other work was to be done. L.C. REFUSED to inspect the underbody insulation in re this NHTSA Recall. The Service Writer was caught LYING TO ME 4 TIMES, demanding they could not do the Inspection without an appointment (Ford Rep said she had arranged otherwise) then stated they had to inspect wiring (irrelevant) and driveshaft (irrelevant, no loose insulation so there cannot be driveshaft damage). I put a Google Review on line (K8BYP) with all these details. This is the THIRD Ford Dealer that has refused or failed to inspect for this safety hazard.
