STEERING,SUSPENSION

Have owned this truck for a couple of years and have been enduring the "Death Wobble" over the local train tracks, but I am always able to control my speed. But the other day while traveling down the interstate, I hit a pothole and truck was shaking until brought the truck to a stop. Luckily I was able to get off the road, but this event could have been much worse. Apparently this is a known problem, and it is a shame that the manufacturer has not fixed this obvious safety issue.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY ON THE ROAD WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH OR HIGHER. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 50MPH OR BELOW TO GET IT TO SUBSIDE. *TR

RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F250 TRUCK, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FORD'S DEATH WOBBLE' ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY, THE FRONT END STARTS WOBBLING TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO BRAKE AND PULL OVER JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN THIS DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURS, IT CAUSES THE DRIVER HAS TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL AND APPLY BRAKING JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN!!!! *TR RECENTLY, I HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS WITH FORD'S FRONT END AND THEIR SOLUTIONS TO FIX THE FRONTS ENDS. AS USUAL, FORD COMES UP WITH EXCUSES AND NOT A SOLUTION TO REPAIR THEIR PRODUCTS. THERE IS PLENTY OF DOCUMENTATION (U-TUBE VIDEO) ON-LINE DOCUMENTING THE SERIOUS OF THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS TIME THAT YOUR AGENCY TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND SEE THAT FORD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

HIGH SPEED WHEEL OSCILLATION OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF INTERSTATE 275 AROUND CINCINNATI, OHIO. I HIT A BUMP ON THE EXIT OF THE INTERSTATES BRIDGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK REALLY BAD LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER LAST YEAR WARNING ME ABOUT THIS CONDITION. I DID NOT THINK I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT CRASH THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE OSCILLATION OCCURRED. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS FOR THE F250 HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR *JS

On our most recent trip, our Ford truck a 2007 F250 model experienced what is called the death wobble, where the front shakes violently. Which occurs in speeds of 70 or higher, when it hits a bump the front end shakes violently. It has happened in the past when we were on vacation. The dealer could not find the cause. It is now at the dealer again, to see what can be done. There is a known class action suit filed in 2019. For Ford F250 & F350 models from 2005 to 2019. Ford knew about it but did not inform any owners. We are wanting to get this on record so you can monitor Ford to see what they are doing about it. It is a shame that people pay big bucks for the trucks and Ford won't tell owners about it or find a true fix. We are also going to file on the class action suit that is out there. PLEASE MAKE FORD ACCOUNTABLE, TO SAVE LIVES

PRONOUNCED AND SEVERE SHIMMY AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TRAVELING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROADWAY AND ON UNEVEN DRIVING SURFACES. FORD DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED A TRACKING BAR AND THE STEERING DAMPER. THESE REPAIRS HELPED BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE THE ISSUE. NEW OEM TIRES WERE INSTALLED 2,000 MILES AFTER THE FORD REPAIR. AS OF DEC 2013 THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 78,578 MILES WHICH IS ONLY 5,000 MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND 3,000 MILES SINCE NEW OEM TIRES AND THE SAME SEVERE SHIMMY AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS OCCURRING AGAIN.

THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH A RECALL NOTICE AND THE 09L02 LETTER IS INDICATIVE THAT THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD ISSUE. *TR

EGL COOLER FAILURE, WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE CAUSED BY COOLANT ENTERING INTO THE EMISSION SYSTEM. "ON ALL 6.0 ENGINES THE EGL COOLER WILL FAIL." THIS PROBLEM IS SO "MASSIVE" WITH SO MANY "MASSIVE COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS" THAT FORD HAS DONE TWO THINGS 1) DESIGNED A BY-PASS KIT AND 2) RE-DESIGNED THE ENGINE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM (6.7 ENGINE). WHEN THE EGL COOLER FAILS, FORD OFFERS TWO SOLUTIONS TO THE CUSTOMER 1) INSTALL THE BY-PASS KIT AND THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED (AT A COST OF $4500) OR 2) REPAIR THE EGL COOLER TO BRING IT "BACK TO FACTORY" (AT A COST OF $4300). FORD TELLS CUSTOMERS THAT IF OPTION 2 IS CHOSEN, THE "EGL COOLER WILL FAIL AGAIN". ALL QUOTES USED ARE DIRECT QUOTES FROM FORD'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. *TR

ON MARCH 3RD 2007, I WAS SHOPPING AT A WAL-MART SUPER CENTER IN DOUGLASVILLE, GA. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE (A BRAND NEW 2007 FORD F-250) I DISCOVERED THAT WHILE I HAD BEEN SHOPPING MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO. ALTHOUGH NOTHING WAS STOLEN FROM MY VEHICLE OVER $1000.00 TO $2000.00 OR MORE, WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS CAUSED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROKEN INTO. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE POLICE AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED I FILLED OUT A POLICE REPORT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TO EXPRESS MY EXTREME DISSATISFACTION WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR WHAT I CONSIDER AN EXTREMELY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT (THE DOOR-HANDLE/LOCK PLATE) THAT, I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY FOR. ALL IT TOOK FOR A THIEF TO BREAK INTO MY FORD F-250 WAS, WHAT THE POLICE OFFICER DETERMINED, A FLAT-HEAD SCREWDRIVER. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING TO THINK THAT ALL A PERSON HAS TO DO IS JAM A SCREWDRIVER UNDER THE PLATE, FOR THE DOOR-HANDLE/LOCK PLATE, PRY DOWN AND THE DOOR POPS OPEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS MECHANICAL DEFECT TO THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. AS IT STANDS IT IS EASIER TO BREAK INTO A FORD VEHICLE WITH ONE OF THESE SUBSTANDARD DOOR-HANDLE/LOCK PLATES THAN IT TAKES A LOCKSMITH TO OPEN THE VEHICLE. *JB

THIS VEHICLE WAS TOWED INTO OUR SHOP BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. WE INSTALLED A NEW STARTER AND LEFT IT OVER NIGHT IN THE STALL WHEN WE CAME BACK IN THE MORNING IT HAD ATTEMPTED TO START ITS SELF AND HAD DRIVEN THROUGH THE DOOR AND OUT ON TO THE LOT WEDGEING ITSELF IN THE NEW CARS. THIS TRUCK IS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AND WAS LEFT IN GEAR WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. IF YOU SET THIS TRUCK AND LEAVE IT IT WILL TRAY TO START IT'S SELF. SOME TIMES IT WILL TAKE A DAY OR AS LITTLE AS 10 MINUTES.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F-250SD 4X4 WITH A 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE. ON MAY 29, 2012 MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A NO START CONDITION AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. UPON ARRIVAL I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED A NEW STARTER AND POSSIBLY MORE BUT IT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AGAIN. STARTER WAS REPLACED AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE (FICM). MY VEHICLE IS 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT 50000 MILES BELOW WHAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. FORD HAS ISSUED 3 TO 4 TSB'S REGARDING THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FICM IT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM'S WITH THE FORD 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE. I CONTACTED FORD AND REQUESTED SOME ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE MILEAGE. FORD DENIED THAT ANY ISSUE EXISTS WITH THE FICM IN THE 6.0L ENGINE. FORD ADVISED ME THAT IF I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR ANSWER I SHOULD CONTACT YOUR ORGANIZATION. *TR

Truck randomly has the notorious death wobble when going over bumps. It shakes violently and i have to slow down or stop. Tried to have it diagnosed by mechanic several times with no outcome, this is when I researched and found out a lot of ford trucks have this issue. Is it a severe safety issue and with the outrageous price of trucks, I can not buy a new one. Ford should have recalled this a long time ago

LIKE MANY OWNERS OF A FORD DIESEL TRUCK THE FUEL TANK IS RUSTING. I HAVE CARED FOR MY TRUCK AS RECOMMENDED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. NOW MY TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY IT IS OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND IS AT 47000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN A REPEATED PROBLEM AMONG FORD OWNERS AND IT SEEMS AS THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS GETTING AWAY WITH RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS. $600.00+ TO REPAIR BUT ALL THEY WILL DO IS CLEAN OUT THE TANK. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THESE TRUCKS. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS YET FORD IS NOT REQUIRED TO PLACE THE PROPER TYPE OF TANK IN THESE VEHICLES. LET ME REPEAT... THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM! FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE SENT COMPLAINTS HERE. I REALLY HOPE FORD IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AND FORD JUST REPLACES THE TANK FOR THE ISSUE TO ARISE AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD. IT CAUSES VEHICLES TO STALL AND SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. THIS IS NOT SAFE! *TR

IF THE BUMP AND THE SPEED WAS GREAT ENOUGH IT WOULD CAUSE YOU TO CRASH. THE TRUCK HAS 38,000 MI. AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT FRONT END SPECIALIST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

WHEN I DRIVE IT IN THE DARK, THE STREET LIGHTS LIGHT UP THE DASHBOARD AND THAT TOO REFLECTS INTO THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO FORD EXECUTIVE OFFICE (KAREN JONES) AND THEY SAY IT'S JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESGNED. THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE NO PLANS TO MODIFY THE VEHICLE. I DISAGREE!
