2007 FORD F-250 Complaints

2007 F-250. CONSUMER STATES DEFECTIVE DESIGN RELATED TO A VIOLENT SHAKING IN VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VIOLENT SHAKING CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT INTO THE NEXT LANE.

MY 2007 FORD F250, SUPERDUTY 4X4, HARLEY DAVIDSON EDITION (ALL STOCK), EXPERIENCED EXTREME CAVITATION, OR WOBBLE, AND VIOLENT SHAKING TO THE STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION AFTER ENCOUNTERING A MILD SERIES OF BUMPS WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 50MPH. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON 3 OCCASIONS. I HAVE READ 100'S UPON 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT YEAR MODEL FORD TRUCKS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND FORD HAS EVEN ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM BEING WITH A DESIGN FLAW AND EVEN HAS A CORRECTION FOR IT THAT INCLUDES A NEWLY DESIGNED BRACKET, RELOCATING SOME STEERING COMPONENTS, AND NEW SPECS FOR THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT, BUT WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1700.00 FOR THE REPAIR(OR REDESIGN). UNBELIEVABLE!! *TR

FORD SUPER DUTY DEATHWOBBLE. PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE NEW. FAILURE OCCURS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 75MPH. FAILURE MANIFESTS AS UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING AND WHOLE VEHICLE OSCILLATION. HAS LED TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER. UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE INSTIGATES SAID LOSS OF CONTROL. HAVE CHANGED SHOCKS AND SPRINGS,ADDED DUAL STEERING STABILIZER IN ADDITION TO CHANGING STABILIZER IN STOCK LOCATION, BALL JOINT CASTER CAMS ADDED, NEW TIRES ADDED (TWICE) MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS. MOST CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN IS NOT TO DRIVE IT AND JEOPARDIZE MY LIFE OR THE LIVES OF OTHERS. HOW MANY NEED TO BE KILLED OR INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE CAN BE HELD ACCOUTABLE? *TR

2007 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.0 LITER DIESEL 4X4. STEERING WOBBLE (OSCILLATION): PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AFTER ABOUT 30000 MILES WHEN DRIVING 60-65 MPH AND HIT AN ROUGH ROAD SURFACE - STEERING BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL SLOWED TO APPROX. 40 MPH. AT 42000 MILES HAD 6" LIFT AND 37' TIRES AND DUAL STEERING STABILIZER PUT ON VEHICLE AND PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE UP UNTIL APPROX. 54000 MILES SAME ISSUE AGAIN. HAVE HAD WHEELS BALANCED, AIR PRESSURE AND ALIGNMENT CHECK - FOUND LOOSE TRACK BAR AND TIGHTENED. THIS HELPED TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF WOBBLE OCCURRENCE, HOWEVER STILL NOT RESOLVED. UPON RESEARCHING THIS IT APPEARS TO BE A GLOBAL FORD SUPER DUTY PROBLEM WHETHER VEHICLE IS STOCK OR HAD SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS INSTEAD OF DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A FORD F250SD, WHEN I AM DOING 70MPH PLUS AND HIT A POT HOLE OR A GOOD SIZE BUMP THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIGOROUSLY. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO NEARLY TO 40MPH JUST TO GET IT TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH ABOUT 200+ OTHER FORD F250SD OWNERS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEARS RANGE FROM '06 TO '08. *TR

EXCESSIVE SHIMMY/FRONT END OSCILLATION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL ON MULTI LANE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT, FORCED TO BRAKE SEVERELY TO REGAIN CONTROL , ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END CRASH . READ YOUR REPORT EA08007 AND IMMEDIATELY CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE WITHIN SPEC'S. IN FORTY FIVE YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A VIOLENT CONDITION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE INCLUDING TIRE BLOWOUTS OVER 50 MPH. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NO ASSOCIATED CRASHES OR DEATHS OF THIS CONDITION. THERE ARE MANY POSTINGS OF SAME ON THE INTERNET BY OTHER OWNERS. I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO FORD AND REFERENCE THEIR TSB 7-10-10 AND YOUR EA08007 REPORT. *TR

FRONT BRAKES FAILED TWICE WITHIN THE FIRST 15,000 MILES . CALIPER'S FROZE UP CAUSING PADS TO STICK, CAUSING THEM TO DRAG AND OVER HEAT, CAUSING ROTORS TO CRACK AND SPLIT. PROBLEM WAS FIRST FIXED FEB.,2010 AT APPROX. 7500MILES. CALIPER RUSTS OR CORRODES WHEN EXPOSED TO ANY MOISTURE AND FREEZES UP/STICKS. FORD SAYS I DON'T USE TRUCK ENOUGH BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO MY LAST F250 AFTER 100,000 MILES; PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RELEASE AFTER APPLYING CAUSING PREMATURE WARE FROM DRAGGING ALSO NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. *TR
