2006 FORD F-250 Complaints

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 NEW 2006 FORD F-250 SD DIESEL 6.0L. THE FIRST YEAR I OWNED IT 7,000 MILES I BLEW A HEAD GASKET. IT TOOK FORD MORE THAN 5 WEEKS TO FIX IT AND 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS OF HASSLE. 6 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I SPOKE WITH FORD THEY GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT 1 MONTH AFTER I CALLED TO SET THE APPOINTMENT. AFTER THAT MONTH DEALERSHIP TOOK 4 WEEKS OF MY TIME WITH MY TRUCK AND DIDN'T FIX A THING. TOLD ME THEY WERE TO BUSY TO DEAL WITH ME AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED. GOT FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS INVOLVED AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. I NOW HAVE MY "UNFIXED" TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH ANOTHER APPOINTMENT 2 WEEKS AWAY AND THAT DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO IT. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE PLUS THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED ME ANY MONEY FOR CAR RENTAL FEES NOTHING. PLEASE ADVISE. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE POLICE. UPDATED 12/12/07. *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

MINOR BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED LEADING TO VIOLENT VERTICAL BOUNCE WHICH CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *JB

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
