STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ENCOUNTERING ROAD IRREGULARITIES, TRUCK ENTERS INTO "DEATH WOBBLE" CONDITION WHEREBY TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO <30 MPH. SUSPENSION WAS REBUILT 3 MONTHS AGO BY FORD DEALER AND CONDITION HAS RETURNED. IN THESE SITUATIONS THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND GREATER.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2015 F250 SUPER DUTY. IT WAS A CLEAN TITLE NO ACCIDENTS. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 43 -55 MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL AND IN FACT THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY I WAS HAVING TROUBLE MAINTAINING CONTROL. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY AND IT STOPPED. AFTER SEVERAL MORE OCCURRENCES ALL AT THE SAME SPEEDS I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A SPECIALTY WHEEL AND ALIGNMENT SHOP AND PAID NEARLY 1,000 DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS FIXED. AFTER NEW BUSHINGS, NEW TIRES, NEW SHOCKS, NEW STEERING AND NEW ALIGNMENT IT ABATED FOR 3 MONTHS. IT IS NOW BACK AND AS SCARY AS EVER. I HAD A 2004 F250 SUPER DUTY AND NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF ISSUE. I HAVE NOW LEARNED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR EVEN RECALL. I MAY HAVE TO SELL THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE DANGER TO THE REST OF MY FAMILY. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT OVER THIS KNOWN AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE MORE MONEY AND MORE DAMAGE IS CAUSED. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN IN A TRUCK THAT DOES THIS COME TO TEXAS AND TAKE A RIDE WITH ME. I PROMISE IT WILL SCARE YOU INTO ACTION. THIS HAS BEEN MY PROBLEM SINCE MARCH. IT IS ALWAYS ON ROUGHER ROADS OR AFTER HITTING UNEVEN PAVEMENT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE STEERING ON MY 2015 FORD F250 HAS A VERY SERIOUS WOBBLE. IT OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70 MPH), IT IS A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER, SHOCKS AND STEERING ARM BALL JOINT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ALL TIE ROD ENDS NOW AS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT OVER 50 MPH.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE ADVANCED AUTO TRAC MALFUNCTION AND CAUSES LOSS OF BREAKS. FORD CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND SEEMS UNWORRIED ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE QUESTIONED FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE RESPONSE I GET IS IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF ISSUES. THEY WANT TO START CHANGING PARTS AT MY COST WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS OR NOT WANTING TO ADMIT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND HAPPENS WITHOUT CAUSE. A BELL GOES OFF YOU LOSE POWER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND LOSE BREAKS FOR PERIODS OF TIME WHILE BELLS ARE GOING OFF.

STARTED HAVING DEATH WOBBLE LAST YEAR AT ABOUT 95000 MILES. PUT NEW TIRES ON IT, NEW ROTORS, TRACKBAR, DRAGLINK, TIE RODS. I THINK IT IS A LOT MORE CONTROLLABLE BUT IT STILL BUMP STEERS IN CURVES AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP BUT DOESN'T BREAK INTO DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE JUST REPORTED THREE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALL IN THE LAST YEAR.

VEHICLE STEERING BEGINS VIOLENT WOBBLE AT MID AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND IS NORMALLY INITIATED BY EXPANSION JOINT AND ROAD FEATURES. THE WOBBLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE AND IS A SERIOUS RISK TO THE DRIVER AND ADJACENT VEHICLES.
