2006 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY FRONT END BOUNCES DANGEROUSLY. AUGUST 2007 THE TRUCK DID THIS 2 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON I25 IN NEW MEXICO. BETWEEN 9/21/07 AND 9/23/07 THIS HAPPENED 9 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING. THE TRUCK BOUNCES OUT OF CONTROL AND MOVES ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES. ENDANGERING EVERYONE'S LIVES TRAVELING ON THE ROAD. I FOUND OVER 138 CASES OF THIS REPORTED TO FORD AND THEIR RESPONSE IS TO BILL THE CUSTOMER FOR A REPAIR THAT HAS NOT WORKED IN ALMOST ALL OF THE REPAIRS SOME PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE DEALER MADE AND THEN CHARGED THEM FOR THE TSB REPAIR. FORD IS ACCEPTING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THESE VEHICLES 2005 ON ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2006 F250 DIESEL TRUCK THAT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU HIT EVEN THE SMALLEST OF POTHOLES. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, REGAIN CONTROL, AND THEN RESUME DRIVING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS ON THE SMALL COUNTY ROADS WE LIVE ON, AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. WE HAVE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY ASSURE US THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP. I REFUSE TO ALLOW MY HUSBAND AND MY SON GET INTO A VEHICLE THAT WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, INTO A DITCH, OR OFF A BRIDGE. I AM ASHAMED THAT FORD WOULD BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND NOT RECALL THIS PROBLEM VEHICLE AS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM FURIOUS THAT I SPENT $48,000 ON A TRUCK THAT HAS 26,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED, SO IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS TO ME, NOT TO MENTION A DANGER TO MY FAMILY'S WELL BEING. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR FORD TO ADMIT THEIR TRUCKS ARE A HAZARD? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE OR BE SEVERELY INJURED BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS PRESSING ISSUE??? *TR

I PURCHASED A FORD F250 FROM A DEALERSHIP, I BELIEVE AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH THAT THIS MODEL HAS A DEFECT IN IT AND IS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IF I DRIVE OVER 45 MPH AND I HIT A POTHOLE OR A BUMP IT VIOLENTLY SHAKES TO THE POINT WHERE WE FEEL WE ARE GOING TO TIP OVER. WE HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING AND WHEN YOU ARE ON A FREEWAY THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE AND AM AFRAID TO PUT MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FOR FORD TO HANDLE IT. I HAVE FOUND 1000'S OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP US FIX THIS. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 F250 THAT THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A HOLE OR SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 55 TO 60 MPH,THEN YOU MUST USE BOTH HANDS TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH OR LESS TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I AM A LARGE MAN 6'2" 240LBS AND MY FEAR IS THAT MY WIFE OR SOMEONE OF A SMALLER STATURE BE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND RESULTS IN A FATALITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT A SIX MONTH PERIOD I OWNED THE TRUCK AND IS CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE , BY THAT I MEAN EVERY DAY THIS PAST WEEK. *TR

TRUCK HAS A VERTICAL VIBRATION MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 45-50 MPH. TRUCK ALSO HAS STEERING PROBLEM AT HIGH SPEEDS SUCH AS INTERSTATE DRIVING. AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE HIGHWAY WILL JUST ABOUT CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FORD DENIES ANY PROBLEM, YET HAS ISSUED TSB 07-05-11 TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN THAT A FEW CUSTOMERS MAY HAVE. APPARENTLY IT IS MORE THAN A FEW CUSTOMERS. THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
OUR FORD F250 4X4 DIESEL TRUCK HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. IT'S LOCKING UP WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. WE HAD 2 OCCASIONS WHERE WE JUST MISSED BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE STEERING LOCKS YOU CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES IN THE DIRECTION JUST PRIOR TO THE LOCK. THE WHEEL NEEDS TO BE TURNED BACK LEFT TO UNLOCK AND THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. WE LIVE ON A CURVE ROAD AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FOLSOM CA, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED BACK THE 60 MILES TODAY AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS VEHICLE. *AK
