SUSPENSION
DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED MY 2011 F250 RUNS OVER A POT HOLE, BEGINS VIOLENTLY SHAKING HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO CONTROL STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE IN PAST YR. REPAIRED REPLACED A PART, HAD ALIGNMENT DOWN. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM AND NTSA SHOULD ORDER A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, YESTERDAY 5/20/2011.

SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK CERTIFIED USED IN 2011 WITH APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILE ON IT. MY PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 20000 MILES, MORE OR LESS. IT EXPERIENCES THE FAMOUS FORD DEATH WOBBLE REPEATEDLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ENCOUNTERING A SMALL BUMP OR HOLE IN A ROAD. IT IS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH AND MAKING SLIGHT LEFT TURN AS MAY BE ENCOUNTERED ON A FREEWAY ENTRANCE OR EXIT. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT STEERING CONTROL CAN BE TOTALLY LOST. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO NEARLY A FULL STOP WHICH CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS ON HIGH SPEED FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE READ AND HEARD OF MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE INVOLVING FORD PICKUPS FOR 2011 AND OTHER YEARS. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE BEING IGNORED BY FORD AS "NORMAL" OR BY THE NHTSA DUE TO THE LACK OR A RECALL OR SUGGESTED FIX.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO HOLD AND THE TRUCK EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. SLOWING DOWN TO 30 MILES AN HR WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED AT 105K MILES. IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY AND MAKES THE TRUCK ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. LOCAL MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH SUSPENSION OR STEERING. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RAMPANT WITH FORD OFFERING NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE PLASTIC OIL PAN DUE TO SEAL FAILURE AND RETURNING BACK TO STEEL PAN ON NEWER MODELS. THIS A CONTINUING PROBLEM NOTED ON NUMEROUS INTERNET POSTS. MY 2011 FORD F-250 LARIAT 4X4 IS LEAKING OIL AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED, COSTING A LOT OF MONEY FOR LABOR AND OIL REPLACEMENT WHICH SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 135,000 MILES DRIVE TIME.

FROM DAY 1 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WHERE THE FRONT END WOULD BOUNCE UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. IT'S GETTING WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP CANNNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THEY TOLD ME AT ONE TIME TO REPLACE MY TIRES BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD 4 TIMES IN ONE TRIP BECAUSE OF THIS AS I COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL. THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE IF NOT RESEARCHED AND CORRECTED BY FORD.

WENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, UPON DOING A WALK AROUND I CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THAT ALL FOR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAD SPLITS IN THE SIDEWALLS. THE SPLITS ARE ABOUT A 1/4 TO 1/2" FROM THE EDGE OF THE WHEEL NEAR THE BEAD OF THE TIRE. THE SPLITS ARE NOT CONTINUOUS BUT REACH NEARLY ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE FOLLOWING THE LINE OF THE WHEEL/TIRE BEAD. AT INITIAL INSPECTION IT LOOKED AS IF THE TIRES HAD BEEN CUT, AFTER LOOKING AT ALL FOR TIRES AND ALL OF THEM HAVING THE SAME CRACKS/SPLITS YOU COULD TELL THAT IT WAS NOT CUT AND RATHER THE RUBBER SPLITTING. THE TIRES HAVE NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TREAD OR SIDEWALL FROM CURBS AND OR ROCKS/ROUGH ROADS. THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED AND USED FOR APPROX. 4 MONTHS WITH 3,363 MILES PUT ON THEM SINCE INSTALLED. SIZE - 245/75/17, LOAD RANGE - E, BRAND/MODEL - HERCULES TERRA TRAC T/G MAX
