AIR BAGS
In December 2022, I received a safety recall notice from Ford stating, dust contamination may lead to loss of electrical circuit connection, which may result in failure of airbag to deploy in an accident. Ford stated that when parts become available, they would notify me via email to schedule a service appointment for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts & labor). Parts are anticipated to be available early first quarter 2023. My dealer has no information about availability of parts yet. I am following up, in hope to learn the status of this important safety recall. Thank you, [XXX] sent Feb. 8, 2023 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

DEF heater/sender assembly was replaced under Ford 21M01 recall. However, the damaged caused by these defective items caused the need to repair additional component's that was not paid for by Ford. Ford will not reimburse additional cost, and can not furnish a statement from a Ford engineer that states the defective replaced parts did not cause the additional repairs. (expense).

SUSPENSION, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When I drove over 50mph and hit any bump the front of the truck shakes wildly. Online says DEATH WOBBLE. This has been going on for 4 months. When taking my children to school 20+ miles away on the highway this has happened several times to and from school on the same day. Other vehicles move out of my line to avoid me while I slow the truck to under 45 mph. They are scared and nervous about getting to school safely. My mother and wife refuse to drive the truck after experiencing this while driving. The fuel injector now also has a problem. The truck is going in to be serviced for the failing fuel injector and death wobble hopefully today if Waldorf MD Ford has openings I am awaiting a call back. It has not been inspected yet only diagnostic at AutoZone showing the fuel injector error code. No warning was given prior to this happening, the truck was riding smoothly, hit a bump in the highway and went crazy. Then it did it again and again and again.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I was experiencing what is known as the "death wobble" in my 2016 Ford F250 FX4 truck. The truck only has 56,000 miles but is out of warranty. I recently spent $1326.00 to have the problem repaired. Apparently this is a major problem with these trucks. I have the repair bill but didn't include it with this statement.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
On a highway, 65-70 mph, drove over a rough patch of road and truck front end began to shake violently(death wobble). Happened three times on same day, same trip. On all occasions we were very lucky to be able to stop or slow down without being involved in an accident. I spent $5000 this past summer that was suppose to have fixed the problem.

SUSPENSION
I was traveling on the interstate at the posted speed limit of 70 mph. I was crossing an overpass and upon exiting the overpass my vehicle began what is often referred to as ‘death wobble’. My front suspension began shaking so violently that I temporarily lost control of the vehicle and had to reduce my speed dramatically in the travel lane to regain control before I was able to steer into the emergency lane. Had I been hauling or towing a load I am sure this would have resulted in a wreck. Since this happened, I have read that Ford has refused to conduct a recall on this issue. I urge the NHTSA enter this situation and require Ford to address the issue.

STEERING, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Truck was driving 70 mph going to TN when it started shaking and grinding or awful noise. Lost control of steering d/t shaking. Slowed down and pulled over to side of road to check vehicle equipment. Made call to my son who said it's the death wobble, advised to slow below 60 mph. No death wobble again unless I hit a bump then it started again.

SUSPENSION
My 2016 F-250 continues to experience the Ford Truck "death wobble." It sometimes happens after I have travelled on an interstate entrance and am increasing speed up to normal highway speed (or similar situation). The front end begins to terribly "shake" and I can only stop it by drastically braking to a much slower speed or even coming to a stop. Usually, there is no obvious reason for this wobble to occur although a rough interstate entrance rough surface may increase the probability of it occurring. I have been able to handle it thus far, but I do worry about being in a traffic lane and having limited options to resolve the issue quickly.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
At highway speed on Interstate-95, I hit a rough patch of asphalt paving and front end of vehicle began to shake uncontrollably. Vehicle continued to shake violently until speed was significantly reduced below the flow of traffic thus creating an extremely dangerous situation. All 4 shocks and steering stabilizer were replace with upgraded Bilstein brand products bya Ford master mechanic within the last 6 months.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Death wobble. Uncontrollable shaking in steering to the point of loss of control. Occurs after a bumpy road or at speeds in excess of 45mph. This occurred on a packed interstate and by the grace of God we didn't wreck or be rear-ended by a semi.

STEERING
There was a violent shaking from the front end od my Ford F250 Super Duty trucks happening on the freeway while driving over 50 miles and hour. This has happended 3 times in the last 6 months. It is very dangerous and causes other vehicles around to try and get out of the way. It only stops after reducing to a dangerously low speed on the freeway. It is very scary and life threatening in my opinion. Please recall and correct!
