WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR SPEED AS LOW AS 35 MPH, ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE OR OVER MINOR POTHOLES THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE EFFECTING STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL YOU NEED TO RAPIDLY DECREASE SPEED THAT CAN AT TIMES BE UNSAFE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING SITUATIONS.

FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY I GOT THE TRUCK WHEN YOU GO DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 OR HIGHER THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND PULLS THE TRUCK TO THE LEFT. AND IT DOES IT TO THIS DAY 6YRS LATER. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND STATED IN A LETTER TO ME FROM FORD THAT 2006 F250 TRUCKS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IS DANGEROUS. BUT THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR IT AS OF THIS DATE. IT WAS DANGEROUS WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2006 AND IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TODAY. YOU COULD POSSIBLY GO INTO ANOTHER LANE AND HIT ANOTHER CAR OR CROSS OVER INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. *TR

STEERING,SUSPENSION

33 complaints

On 6/25/2022 I experienced violent shaking at freeway speed in southern California. The vehicle was difficult to control - the steering wheel shook violently, and it could be felt throughout the vehicle. The ride was completely smooth when I began the freeway drive; the problem came on all of a sudden, then continued at all speeds, but was particularly violent over 50 MPH. I have not had it inspected yet, but research revealed this is most likely the Ford "Death Wobble" affecting F250 and F350 trucks years 2005 to 2021. I haven't discerned all the information yet as to how to make repairs. My understanding is the cause is inadequate front end suspension parts, a Ford manufacturing safety issue. Mine is a 2006 model, and some articles report that year was notably the worse. There was no traffic accident, no police report was filed, and we made it home safely. There were no warning lights or messages. The truck is not under warranty.

I WAS TRAVELING ON I-40 EAST BETWEEN I-95 AND WILMINGTON NC. I WAS TRAVELING 75 MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. I THOUGHT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME LOOSE. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES, AND HAD TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO RECOVER CONTROL. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE TRAVELING TO CLOSE BEHIND ME OR IT WAS HAVE PROBABLY BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT 45 MPH AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE OR A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS.

WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, TRUCK STARTS VIBRATING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. NEW CORRECT SIZE AND PROPERLY INFLATED TIRES AND SHOCKS INSTALLED 2 MONTHS AGO.

Feb 06, 2019

PLEASE REOPEN THIS INVESTIGATION. EVERY PERSON THAT I KNOW WITH A FORD F250 4X4 HAS THIS PROBLEM ON OCCASION. YOUR FAILURE TO MAKE FORD FIX WILL KILL SOMEONE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE? DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: MAR 14, 2008 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: MAR 31, 2009 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA08007 COMPONENT(S): SUSPENSION MY TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES NOW AND I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES NEARLY 3 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE LAST 15,000 MILES. THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF TIRES LAST 5000 MILES. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES, AND CONSTANTLY GET A "RUN-AROUND" THAT IT'S THE TIRES. MY TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. YESTERDAY, I WAS TRAVELLING ON INTERSTATE 45 YESTERDAY AT 70 MPH'S AND TRAFFIC SUDDENLY SLOWED TO A CRAWL. I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES AGGRESSIVELY AND WHEN I HIT A CERTAIN SPEED BETWEEN 35MPH AND 60 MPH, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO RANDOMLY BOUNCE AND WAS COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE. I COULDN'T EVEN STEER. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO SEVERAL VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. WHILE THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS VIOLENTLY BOUNCING (IT BOUNCED SO VIOLENTLY IT BROKE A FOLDING DOWN TV MOUNT / MOUNTED IN THE CEILING OF THE TRUCK), I HUNG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL FOR DEAR LIFE (LIKE HANGING ONTO A BULL 8 SECONDS) AND CONTINUED TO SLOW EVEN FURTHER, AND ULTIMATELY HAD TO DRIVE OFF INTO THE GRASS ELSE I WAS GOING TO CRASH. THE DEATH WOBBLE WENT AWAY WHEN I APPROACHED A COMPLETE STOP < 15MPH. IN THE SAME TRUCK, I HAVE HAD THIS DEATH WOBBLE INCIDENT HAPPEN OVER 200 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE EVEN HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN WHILE HAULING CAR'S ON CAR TRAILERS. IT IS SCARY. AFTER MARKET MFRS MAKE CLAIMS THAT IT'S DUE TO THE TRACK BAR AND BUSHINGS AND THESE KITS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT FORD AND THE TSA DENIES ITS A REAL PROBLEM. BEFORE I PAY OUT THOUSANDS FOR A AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION, I EXPECT FORD TO FIX THIS, THE CORRECT WAY.

TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY OFFER IS TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE WHICH I DID AND OF COURSE DID NOTHING.

STEERING

29 complaints

In two separate instances, traveling on the highway, after going over a bridge transition, the steering wheel and front end began to shake violently. This shaking reverberated throughout the truck causing me to have to slow down immediately and exit the freeway. This was the only thing that stopped the shaking. This is commonly referred to as the “Death Wobble”.

May 08, 2022

Not quite sure what component or system is failing/malfunctioning. Best way to describe what is happening, "Death Wobble". No other simpler way to put it. No auto store/dealer has any solid answer. Simply put, almost killed my entire family on the highway and not to mention other drivers on the highway. Driving fine then any bumps/grooves in the road instantly sends the entire vehicle into this VIOLENT shaking mess. To stop the shaking, we have to TRY (because once it starts shaking, it's almost like the steering is freezing up) to stop the vehicle completely. Once stopped, we take off like nothing ever happened until the next set of bumps/grooves. We have taken the truck to auto mechanics, we explain what is going on and INSTANTLY they inform us that we are not alone in this and there's really nothing you can do without constantly changing parts, etc. but there is "no" fix. No warnings, messages, nothing. Basically have to hold on for dear life and ride in the far right lanes so you have a better chance of pulling off on the side of the road without being smashed to death. We literally fear for our families lives in this truck but what can you do when it's pretty much all you got.

AT 145,000 MILES, A STEERING ISSUE DEVELOPED. 3 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, AT A 4-WAY STOP, I TURN RIGHT TO GO TO WORK. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS "STUCK" AND IS HARD TO TURN BACK TO THE LEFT TO CENTER THE F250 IN MY LANE. 1 MILE LATER, ANOTHER RIGHT TURN, AND THE PROBLEM BECOMES SCARY. THE WHEEL IS STIFF TO TURN TO THE LEFT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK ZOOM TO THE LEFT, I STEER RIGHT AND IT IS SLOW AND STIFF AND THEN RESPONDS WITHOUT WARNING ZIPPING ME TO THE RIGHT. I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AT THIS POINT, DOING 35MPH WAITING FOR THE PROBLEM TO CLEAR UP. AT FIRST, THE PROBLEM CLEARED UP WITHIN A MILE, BUT TODAY IT TOOK 5 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THEN GONE FOR THE REST OF MY 30 MILE TRIP TO WORK. SAME THING, SAME PLACE EVERYDAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. A MILE AWAY FROM THE PARKING SPACE I HAVE THE FIRST SYMPTOM AND THEN ALL HELL BRAKES LOOSE ON THE NEXT TURN. CRAZY STEERING FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN SMOOTH SAILING THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. PLANNING ON REPLACING THE STEERING GEARBOX AND POWER STEERING PUMP THIS WEEKEND.

EGR AND OIL COOLER FAILURE...CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE AND HYDROLOCK SITUATION. THE ENGINE STOPPED THE TRUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE $2542.42. SURE WOULD BE NICE FOR FORD TO HAVE A HAND IN THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN. I HAVE READ 100'S OF REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND FORD STILL WILL NOT FIX OR HELP PAY FOR THEIR ENGINE. FORD REFUSED TO HELP WITH REPAIR COST. I ONLY HAVE 98000K MILES. PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THESE COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I AM SURE THAT THE LOBBYIST AT FORD ARE DOING THEIR JOB TO KEEP THIS FROM BECOMING A RECALL SITUATION. IT IS HURTING NO ONE BUT THE OWNERS OF THIS 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON VACATION WITH A TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON OUR 2006 FORD-F-250 (WITH A 5.4 LITER ENGINE) INDICATED THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. AFTER STOPPING SEVERAL TIMES ON THE BERM OF AN INTERSTATE, THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE WAS HOT. SINCE WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HOLIDAY, THE TRUCK WAS FIRST TAKEN TO A PEP BOYS LOCATION WHERE THEIR EVALUATION SHOWED THERE WAS NO SIGN OF OVERHEATING. WE WERE ADVISED OF A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE STATING THAT IT MIGHT EXHIBIT FALSE OVERHEATING. SO, WE CONTINUED OUR TRIP. TRUCK CONTINUED TO DISPLAY FALSE READINGS AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO DERATE. AT THIS TIME, WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY INSTALLED AN UPDATED COOLANT CROSSOVER TUBE AND THERMOSTAT HOUSING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF FALSE OVERHEATING. THIS WORK WAS DONE (PARTS & LABOR) AT A COST TO US OF $645.67 AFTER AAA DISCOUNT. THE COST TO US WAS A SURPRISE, AS THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE TO RECTIFY IT. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN NOT A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT WAS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE FOR US AS WE WERE COMPELLED TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY INTERSTATE BEFORE HAVING TO REQUEST THAT THE PICKUP AND TRAVEL TRAILER BE TOWED TO A SAFE LOCATION.

STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS

Purchased my truck last year and was unaware of problems with this truck.whikr traveling couple miles from my home on a paved two lane road I ran over a small gravel or walnut which immediately sent my truck into uncontrollably shaking in the front end my speed was between 30 and 35 mph it was all I could do to get it to the side of the road and stopped.Shaking I got out and looked underneath the front thinking I had a wheel or something about to come off.I couldn't see anything noticeable loose.So I got back in and very slowly continued to my destination.Since then it has happened more times than I can count small hump or raised pavement or even a hole in the road will send it into a shaking fit all I can do is try and get to the side of the road and come to a stop.Im in a fix as this is the only vehicle I own and I can't afford to buy another and no one knows what to do to fix it.I feel like I'm riding in a death trap Everytime I have to run out I try and stay on the back roads where I don't have as much traffic and don't have to go as fast having this happen on the interstate is extremely scary not to mention trying to get to the side of the road and not get ran over by tractor trailers.When I purchased this truck it only had around 53,000 miles on it and is still under 60,000.Ive seen read about the problem Ford is having and that they are doing nothing about it.I think this is a disgrace for a company my own father worked for them for 15 years and it's ashame they don't care about their reputation or their company or the safety of their customers and families.I want my truck added to the list of the ticking time bombs they have out on the road.

DEATH WOBBLE WHILE ON FREEWAY GOING 45 + MPH

Sep 19, 2020

WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 55 AND IT STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING LIKE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO FLIP OR SOMETHING. IVE READ A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

Apr 25, 2019

AT FREEWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK HAS ENCOUNTERED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS MAILED ME A LETTER ABOUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I THOUGH I BLEW OUT ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES. THE STEERING SHOCK VIOLENTLY ALONG WITH THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. AT THE TIME OF THE DEATH WOBBLE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THIS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN JULY OF 2013 AND ON JANUARY 7TH, 2018.

TRUCK "DEATH WOBBLE" - DRI\VING ON I 25 AT ABOUT 60 MPH WE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. WE THOUGHT WE HAD A BLOWOUT, BUT THE TIRES WERE OK. IN FACT, BEFORE OUR TRIP WE HAD OUR TIRES CHECKED AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE FINE. AFTER GOING TO A DEALER I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TIRES AS FORD WOULD LIKE TO ASSUME. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD IN DEC 2015 ACKNOWLEDGING THE "SEVERE VIBRATION" AND BLAMING IT ON THE TIRES. IT IS NOT THE TIRES IT IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT. WHAT IS BEING DONE REGARDING A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VIOLENT SHAKING YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TERRIFYING IT IS AND THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A SERIOUS IF NOT DEADLY ACCIDENT. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING AS I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ON FORUMS, SEEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND HAD THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM A DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM!!!. PLEASE HELP.

ONCE WE PULLED OVER WE NOTICED THE DAMAGE THE SEPARATED TIRE TREAD DID TO THE TRUCK BODY. I HAVE CALCULATED THE TOTAL MILEAGE OF 25196 ON THE TIRES, SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM KISSELBACK FORD IN ST. CLOUD FLORIDA WHO INSTALLED THE TIRES. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE OTHER 3 TIRES FOR OUR SAFETY EVEN THOUGH THESE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 50,000 MILES. THE TIRE SHOP THAT INSTALLED THE NEW TIRES DID NOTE THE FRONT TIRE HAD BUBBLES FORMING, THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THIS TIRE WAS ALSO PRONE TO TREAD SEPARATION POSSIBLY LEADING TO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRES THAT ARE IN QUESTION IS CAPITOL HT 265-70-17 DOT NUMBER SKVR RC 4713. I HAVE RECEIVED 3 ESTIMATES FOR THE BODY WORK ESTIMATING AROUND $2500 PLUS THE COST OF FOUR NEW TIRES. I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES THAT I CAN SEND.

Our truck has been doing the "death wobble" several times over the last 2 years. The truck will suddenly shake violently at high speeds and go into limp mode. We have to pull over pumping the brakes slowly. It is EXTREMELY TERRIFYING to have happen and we have spent THOUSANDS trying to get it repaired but it continues.

While driving on the freeway the vehicle started to shake violently. I had to pump the breaks slowly and pull to the side of the road. After checking everything we took it to the shop and they did 2k in repairs and said it was fixed. It did it again. They said they don't know what it is.

MY FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 2006 MODEL TRUCK STARTED UP JUST FINE ON WAY TO JOB SITE AND THEN ABOUT 1:00 P.M. THAT DAY MY TRUCK OVER-HEATED EVEN THOUGH NO INDICATION ON THE ELECTRICAL PANEL. I SAW WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF TAIL PIPE, STARTED OVER-HEATING, AND I WAS LOSING POWER IN MOTOR. I PUT WATER IN COOLANT OVER-FILL BECAUSE ALL OF MY ANTIFREEZE DRAINED OUT AND I JUST HAD PUT IN PRIOR TO THIS DATE ABOVE ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL AND MAINTAIN ALL THE FLUIDS AND DO REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ON TRUCK PER THE MILEAGE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE WHERE I WAITED 30 MINUTES FOR TRUCK TO COOL AND THEN DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO DIESEL MECHANIC NAMED [XXX] WHO KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD HAPPENED BECAUSE (6) OTHER TRUCKS CAME IN THE SAME WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE WHICH WAS TO REPLACE THE EGR'S AND ALSO THE OIL COOLER. MY BILL FOR THIS WAS OVER $3,000.00. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I HAD WORK AND WAS ABLE TO PAY FOR THIS HUGE EXPENSE OTHERWISE I WOULD BE OUT-OF-POCKET IN A BAD WAY BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS MY LIVELIHOOD IN MY MAKING MONEY AS I AM A GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND NEED A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK. I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RE-CALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE OF THE SIX OTHER TRUCKS THAT CAME INTO HIS DIESEL SHOP THE SAME WEEK.

My son was driving on the freeway, traveling approximately 83 mph, when the vehicle lost power, the engine stalled and he lost the ability to steer the vehicle properly. The vehicle was parked at nearest gas station until i could get to it. After inspecting engine, I noticed some wires that had the insulation coming off. I replaced wiring harness, and when doing so, found the main harness to be severely chafed from rubbing the under side of air filter ducts. When looking around engine bay I noticed other wires with insulation coming off too.

ON 09/12/2013, I PURCHASED 4 GEO-TRAC PATAGONIA A/T TIRES P265/70/17 TIRES FOR MY 2006 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY. FROM RICK'S TIRES AND BRAKES IN CANTON, NC. THIS TIRE SHOP PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM FREE SERVICE TIRES IN SWANNANOA, NC. FREE SERVICE TIRES BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM TEIRECO, INC IN GARDENA, CA. THE DOT NUMBER ON THE FOUR TIRES IS DOT JENJ FPL 1911. THE TRUCK HAD 53,023 MILES ON IT WHEN THESE TIRES WERE PURCHASED. IN JANUARY 2017, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE BOUNCE AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 30 MPH. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO RICK'S TIRES AND HE CONTACTED FREE SERVICE TIRES. THE FREE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE BELTS HAD SEPARATED AND REPLACED THE TIRE. ON 03/21/2017 WHILE TOWING A BOAT ON I-40 IN NORTH CAROLINA, THE RIGHT REAR TIR EXPLODED AT 55 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY EXIT THE ROADWAY AND DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO SAFELY PARK ON THE SHOULDER. THE TIRE HAD A LARGE HOLE AND PART OF THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE INNER TIRE. THIS SEPARATION CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY RIGHT PICKUP BED OUTER WALL AND BRACING SUPPORTS. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED RICK'S TIRES AND MADE HIM AWARE OF THE ISSUE. HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED FREE SERVICE TIRES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO RICK'S TIRES ON 04/02/2017. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TIRECO ON 04/13/2017.THE REMAINING TIRES HAVE TRAVELED ABOUT 13,000 MILES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE MS SCRIVENS AND MS TORRES WITH TIRECO. I HAVE HAD TO INITIATE EVERY DISCUSSION WITH THEM. THEY SEEM TO BE UNCONCERNED THAT TWO OF THE FOUR ORIGINAL TIRES THEY MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED HAVE FAILED. MS. TORRES TOLD ME TODAY THAT A ROAD HAZARD CAUSED THE SECOND FAILURE. I HAD A RETIRED OPERATOR FROM A RUBBER VULCANIZING OPERATION LOOK AT THE TIRE. HE STATED THAT THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN "COOKED" LONG ENOUGH OR THE TEMP WAS NOT HOT ENOUGH TO ADEQUATELY BIND THE RUBBER COMPONENTS. TIRECO SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REPAIR MY TRUCK AND COMPENSATE FOR TIRES.

I THEN TOOK THE VEHILE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, I DON'T KNOW AS OF YET WHATS WRONG WITH IT BUT I CAN TELL YOU I WAS SCARED OVER THIS HAPPENING!

ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATES, AND IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH EMER. BRAKE ON AND ACCELERATION UP TO 2000 RPM'S AND IT CHUGS AND SPITS AND SPUTTERS AND THEN DIES AND WON'T RESTART UNTIL THE NEXT DAY! I CAN PROVIDE YOU SEVERAL RECEIPTS, BUT I AM NOT PUTTING THEM ONLINE FOR ALL TO VIEW VIN NUMBERS, ETC. ANY INFORMATION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

HELLO, I HAVE A FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY KING RANCH 4X4 DIESEL THAT MY WIFE AND I ALWAYS WANTED. WE BOUGHT FROM A USED CAR/TRUCK LOT. THE RIMS AND TIRES ARE BRAND NEW AS IS ALIGNMENT WAS ALSO HAD DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE BUT IT DIDN'T.. WHEN THE TRUCK GETS TO 44 MILES AN HOUR AND UP TO 50 MPH MY F 250 HOPS LAND I DON'T KNOW IF ITS FROM THE FRONT OR BACK BUT I THINK ITS HAPPENING IN THE FRONT THE WAY IT FEELS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE BACK AND FORTH LIKE THE TIRES ARE WIGGLING RIGHT AND LEFT , IT IS MORE LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD RIM OR UNEVEN TIRE HOP, LIKE WHEN I WAS A KID AND COULDN'T AFFORD TIRES AND BOUGHT SOME USED ONES AND GET A BUM TIRE IN THE SET OR MAYBE A RIMS THAT I HAD TRADED FOR AND ONE WAS BAD.. WE LOVE THIS F 250 AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT, NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT DIESEL TRUCKS, ONLY LOVING THE SOUND AND POWER OF THEM SO THE PROBLEMS THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO POINT OUT OR MENTION TO US WE HAVE HAD ALL FIXED PROPERLY AND THIS HOP OR BOUNCE THAT MY F 250 IS EXPERIENCING IS REALLY A WORRY TO US SEEING HOW WE BOUGHT IT TO PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER WE PURCHASED TO EXPLORE THIS GREAT U.S.A. SO WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY DRIVING IT ATTACHED TO THE TRAILER OR NOT. I HAVE REPLACED RIMS, TIRES AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT AS STATED BEFORE AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH IF YOU GOOGLED IT AND SEEING ALOT OFL OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME EVEN LIFE THREATENING WHICH WORRIES ME ALSO IF WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, CAUSES SOMETHING TO BREAK OR HAPPEN.

THE TRUCK WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE (I-81 NEAR BLACKSBURG EXIT 118A,B,C) DRIVING UPHILL. WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE FROM THE MIDDLE LANE, WHILE LETTING OF THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DIES. AT THIS POINT LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING CONTROL. SINCE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE TRUCK THEN WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE FIRST LANE AND GET OFF THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK DIED AND FORTUNATELY DUE TO LOW TRAFFIC ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. AT THAT POINT, TRIED TO START THE TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT START SO HAD TO REMAIN ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL HELP COULD ARRIVE. STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. FORD BLOGS INDICATE THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS GONE UNADDRESSED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE BLACKTOP ROAD AT 35 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTLY DIED LOSING ALL POWER, INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD JUST EXITED A U.S. HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 65 MPH. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM A FORMER POLICE DEFENSIVE DRIVING INSTRUCTOR I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO A SIDE STREET. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO TOW A 14,000 LB. FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER AND I AM GLAD IT WAS NOT ATTACHED.. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE STC FITTING. FORD TOLD ME THAT THIS PART HAS A COMMON FAILURE PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH THE REVISED STC FITTING. MY CONCERM IS THAT FAILURE OF THIS PART WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER ON AN INTERSTATE COULD BE FATAL. THE STC FITTING IS APPARENTLY ATTACHED TO THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP, AND WHEN IT FAILS YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART. *TR

MY HUSBAND DRIVES A 2006 FORD F250 SUPERCAB PICKUP TRUCK WITH APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES (LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR OF THE TRUCK). RECENTLY, THE LATCH CABLES ON THE REAR SUICIDE DOORS BOTH BROKE WITHIN 1 MONTH OF EACH OTHER, RENDERING THE REAR DOORS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. FROM RESEARCHING BLOGS ONLINE, THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PART IN THE LATCH MECHANISM AND IS QUITE COMMON ON THIS TYPE FORD TRUCK DOOR. THE PARTS AND LABOR ARE QUITE COSTLY ($400 PER DOOR), AS THE WHOLE MECHANISM MUST BE REPLACED, RATHER THAN JUST THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PIECE. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY CONCERN, AS ANYONE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS TRAPPED INSIDE, AS THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLATCH AND OPEN. WE WERE TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER CARE THAT THEY WILL NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND MUST REPLACE THE LATCH WITH THE SAME TYPE LATCH CABLE THAT HAS ALREADY BROKEN (CASE # [XXX]). THERE IS NO GUARANTEE WITH THE REPLACEMENT THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND IS QUITE A SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IF A CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, AS PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT DURING AN EMERGENCY. WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND THE DEFECTIVE PIECE SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. PERHAPS YOUR AGENCY CAN LOOK INTO THIS MATTER TO SEE IF THIS IS AS COMMON A PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS AND IS NOT ISOLATED TO MODEL AND YEAR OF OUR FORD TRUCK. THESE DOORS ARE COMMON ON MANY FORD TRUCKS. FORD WILL NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY OR RELIEF FOR THIS SITUATION. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I KNOW THAT FORD HAS SUED THE DESIGNER OF THE 6.0 ENGINE AND WON BILLIONS BUT WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO ASSIST THE CONSUMER. THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS, IF YOU KNOW THAT IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH A PROBLEM WHY NOT ASSIST THE CONSUMER IN CORRECTING INSTEAD OF DOING A PATCH JOB. THEY WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THE RIGHT THING UNLESS SOMEONE FORCE THEM TO DO SO. THANKS *TR

THE FICM (FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE) ON THE 6.0L POWERSTROKES ARE A KNOWN ITEM TO FAIL. THEY LOSE VOLTAGE AND MAKE INJECTORS NOT WORK, WHICH SHUTS OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHILE AT AN IDLE OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. MINE SHUT OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES NOW, BUT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO WARRANTY IT. MY SMALL TOWN FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACES SEVERAL OF THESE PARTS A WEEK.

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE TO MAKE FORD UNDERSTAND THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THIS TRUCK AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE ME. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS TRUCK IN THE WINTER AS OF YET AND CAN TELL YOU WITH EXPERIENCE IF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I HAVE A HAD A TOUGH TIME CONTROLLING IT IN THE SUMMER IMAGINE THE WINTER.
