STEERING
I was driving on US 59 while pulling a 30' Airstream Travel trailer with my 2019 F250 truck when the steering system started violently shacking preventing from controlling the vehicle. The truck and trailer veered across the center line before I could regain control. I was traveling 65 mph at the time. In May 2023, I was notified by Ford that the warranty for the steering damper had been extended as there have issues with steering system vibrating excessively preventing control of the vehicle. This need to be change to an immediate safety recall.

All four tires LT275/70R18 on the vehicle are junking out separating with large pieces of rubber.

The vehicle was taken into the Ford dealership on 18 October 2023 dealers kicked it over to Goodyear manufacture called and had a tire inspection done at a local Goodyear dealer they agreed there was a problem with the tire but are not wanting to fully replace the tires.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
Death Wobble. I did not know this was a thing until it happened to me and I found out its been a problem on Ford Trucks for over 15 years. My entire truck including the steering wheel shook violently on 5 different occasions. I'm scared to drive my 100K truck now. I brought to dealership thinking it came from them working on my truck and they informed me that this has been a issue that Ford refuses to recall and there's been multiple lawsuits. They suggested I file a complaint with this Org.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Several issues. At 1100 miles the sound system or the 12” touch screen locks up sometimes so that touch screen doesn’t work, stereo turns off, a sudden loud tone comes on from all the speakers at full volume and the volume control, screen nothing works to turn it down and you have to turn the truck off completely and wait 5-10 minutes before turning it back on and then everything works. Today, I started the truck and discovered that the heated steering wheel and heated seats were on high (When I have never even used them before) so I turned them off. I went into a store and came out 5 minutes later, restarted the truck and the heated wheel/seats had come on again by themselves. The truck will also make a warning tone occasionally while driving but nothing even shows on the screen. Its like I have electrical gremlins jumping from system to system.

POWER TRAIN
The bushing on the cable that holds the transmission gear selector cable to to the transmission gear selector bracket on the transmission housing broke and left the truck unable to be shifted in or out of gear using the lever on the steering column. The only way to move the vehicle was to crawl under the vehicle and manually move the gear shift selector to the desired gear. I was able to drive it to a Ford dealer for immediate repair. There were no warning signs and the truck was operating with no problems/issues prior to this incident. The truck is a 2016 model and I am the original owner. The truck had 62982 miles on it when the incident occurred. I feel this is a safety issue because this would prevent the vehicle from being put in park if it broke when being put in drive and could cause the vehicle to roll into something or onto someone

STEERING, SUSPENSION
The steering wheel shakes violently at speeds of 50-55 mph. The vehicle drives without any issues then without any warning or warning lights the vehicle starts shaking to the point you lose steering control and must immediately slow down until the shaking stops. This vehicle is available for inspection if needed. The safety of myself as well as others is due to the loss of steering at higher speeds and the need to immediately slow down. When this occurs it is often in highway traffic. This vehicle has been inspected and new shocks and steering damper as well as new tires were installed. The problem still exist.

STEERING
I was driving on I-215E in Las Vegas on October 16, 2023 at approximately 5:15pm, and I hit a bump in the road around 1 mile west of the I-15 interchange. I was moving at approximately 65 MPH and my truck started violently shaking. I was forced to come to a nearly complete stop in rush hour traffic to stop the shaking and ultimately had to pull over to the shoulder to take a pause before being able to continue my commute. Fortunately, I was not towing my boat, but I feel that this could have been a deadly accident if I was towing. This is a major problem.
