2006 FORD F-250 Complaints

I OWN A 2006 FORD F 250, ON SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A WET STREAK BEHIND ME SO I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED GAS GUSHING OUT OF A HOLE IN THE TANK. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA CLOSE TO HOME, SO I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND PARKED IT IN A FIELD, AWAY FROM ANY BUILDINGS TO ALLOW THE 30+ GALLONS OF GAS TO DRAIN OUT. THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS ONE OF THE STRAPS THAT SECURES THE FUEL TANK BROKE (RUSTED IN HALF) AND THE GAS TANK DROPPED DOWN AND WAS DRAGGING AGAINST THE HIGHWAY. I ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE STRAP THAT BROKE

WHILE TRAVELING ON PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE AT APPROX. 75 MPH I HIT BUMP AND THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING AND STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING SO BAD I COULD HARDLY CONTROL MY TRUCK. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH X THE SHAKING STOPPED.

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.

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.

AT SPEEDS OF OVER 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL OF STEERING. IN ADDITION, AT SPEEDS OF OVER 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS SO MUCH PLAY THAT ROUGH ROADS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL LEFT OR RIGHT AND HUGE CORRECTIONS NEED TO BE MADE IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM DRIFTING INTO OTHER LANES. BOTH THESE ISSUES ARE CONSITENT

WAS TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE 24 AFTER JUST FUELING UP WHEN HIT A ROUGH SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FUEL TANK DROPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK LEAVING ME AND MY STEPSON STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE COST ME 1200 DOLLARS TO BE TOWED HOME NOT TO MENTION WHAT THE REPAIR COST ARE GOING TO COST ME

BOUGHT TRUCK CASH HAD IT 3 WEEKS BRAKE LINES WE CORRODED NEVER LOOKED AT GOT TOLD GARAGE WON'T FIND TRANNY COOLER FITTING AND THE GAS STRAP BROKE OFF AND I HAVE ONLY HAD TRUCK 3 MONTHS NOW AND DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP AND GARAGE WON'T FIX TRUCK AND GOT TURNED AWAY FROM FORD DEALERSHIP..AND I HAVE A 6 MONTH UNLIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY ON TRUCK..THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION COMING FROM CHURCH WHEN BRAKE LINES BY ENGINE BLOCK SPRAYED ALL OVER ENGINE..WE WE DRIVING ON A STREET BEHIND OTHER CHURCH GOERS.. I NEEDED THIS TRUCK FOR HAULING AND SUCH AND HAD STRAP BREAKING AND MAY CAUSE FIRE IF TO DRIVE DOWN MAIN HIGHWAY AND IT FALL OUT..

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-85 IN MEBANE, NC ON THE NIGHT OF 07/29/19 WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BEGAN TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPLODED. APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF OF THE TREAD DETACHED FROM THE TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK BED. MICHELIN LT 265 70 R 17 LTX AT/2, 10 PLY TIRES WERE ON THE TRUCK. I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRE. I CONTACTED MICHELIN ON 08/02/19 TO FILE A CLAIM AND WAS TOLD THAT WITHOUT THE TIRE THAT EXPLODED, A CLAIM COULDN'T BE FILED. I CONTACTED THE TIRE SHOP AND THE TIRES THAT WERE REMOVED FROM MY TRUCK HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISPOSED OF. I HAVE PROOF OF PURCHASE AND PHOTOS OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AND DAMAGE DONE TO MY TRUCK. MICHELIN STATED THAT PROOF OF PURCHASE AND PHOTOS WERE NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'M BEING OVERLOOKED FOR MICHELIN'S DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I GOT A AUTO BODY REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR THE TRUCK ON 08/02/19.

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.

I HAVE A 2006 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 PICK UP W/ 61.00 MILES , THAT HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HUBS AND SEALS, SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPER, STABILIZER BAR LINKS AND INNER & OUTER TIE RODS. HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED TWICE AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. DOES THIS FALL UNDER A RECALL? I HAVE SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PARTS THAT I DID. IS THERE A FIX, AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS? THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENS EVERY DAY, SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS.
