2007 FORD F-250 Complaints

2007 FORD F250 4X4 SUPER DUTY SUPER CAB. SEVERE SHAKING OF FRONT END BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR. EVEN FREEWAY ONRAMPS CAN SET IT OFF. HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE. ONLY WAY TO STOP SHAKING IS TO SLOW DOWN AND OR BRAKE. NOT SAFE ON FREEWAYS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. PEOPLE HAVE FOLLOWED ME TO TELL ME THAT MY FRONT LEFT WHEEL IS OSCILLATING IN AN OVAL. VERY VIOLENT FEELING. GETTING WORSE. *TR

2007 FORD F250 SD, AT 45 MPH VIOLENT SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL. BOUGHT NEW TIRES NO CHANGE, ALIGNMENT IS GOOD, TIRE PRESSURE AT 65 PSI. ALL ROAD SURFACES PRODUCE SHAKING. *TR

I OWN A 2007 FORD F-250 SD PICK-UP WITH A CREW CAB. SINCE DAY ONE I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER(S) REGARDING SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPY OR IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY ON CURVES. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THE FACTORY RECOMMENDATION OF 70#S. ALTHOUGH THE PRESSURES ARE CHECKED AND MAINTAINED REGULARLY, THE SEVERE OSCILLATION CONTINUES AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IF THE TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE A FULL LOAD OR IF IT IS NOT TOWING A TRAILER. THE DEALER(S) HAVE STATED THAT THE FACTORY DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL, BUT DID ADDRESS THE MATTER IN A "TECH BULLETIN" WHICH ONLY ADDRESSED THE TIRE PRESSURE AS A RESOLUTION. WITH ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, THE ISSUE MUST BE MORE THAN TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY FORD F-250 45 MPH AND OVER AND HITTING ANY KIND OF BUMP THE FRONT END SHAKES SEVERELY. THE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THE DAMPER WAS REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT HELP. 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.

ON CERTAIN HIGHWAYS MY FORD F250 SUPER DUTY BOUNCES TERRIBLY. I MUST SLOW DOWN TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL. IT BOUNCES SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAVE BEEN BOUNCED OUT OF MY SEAT. FORD STATED THAT THEIR TRUCKS HAVE A "DAMPENING" SYSTEM TO FIX THIS. THEY STATED TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE. MY TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE AND HAS BEEN FINE. I HAVE RIDDEN IN CHEVY 2500'S AND DODGE 2500'S ON THE SAME HIGHWAYS WITHOUT THIS OCCURRING. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE TRUCKS BUT I CAN NOT SEEM TO GET FORD TO AGREE. THIS IS DANGEROUS CONDITION SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BOUNCING WILL START. ANY OTHER REPORTS ON THIS OCCURRENCE? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES STRONG STEERING VIBRATION AND VIOLENT SHAKES AFTER TRAVELING OVER A BUMP OR UNEVEN ROADS. THE FAILURE WAS RECENTLY NOTICED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. THE DRIVER STATED THAT IT FELT AS IF ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE LOOSE. HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND THEY STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE ON HIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS REMAINED AT THE CORRECT LEVELS. HE DISCOVERED AN INVESTIGATION THAT WAS CONDUCTED ON THIS SAME FAILURE BY THE MANUFACTURER (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER PE07057 (SUSPENSION:FRONT)). HE BELIEVES THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS NOT THE ISSUE AND THAT A NEW INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE OPENED AND A RECALL ISSUED. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS STILL EXPERIENCING THE DEFECT AND IS RARELY DRIVEN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 24,900. UPDATED 06/08/09 *BF UPDATED 06/18/09.*JB

I HAVE A FORD F250 2007 4X4 DIESEL. WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING SO BAD I RAN OFF THE ROAD. FORD SENT ME A LETTER ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE, BUT I ASSURE YOU I CHECK MY TIRES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK BECAUSE I PULL EQUIPMENT ALMOST DAILY. FORD IS TRYING TO COVER UP SOMETHING AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK ALMOST TWO YEARS, AND HAVE HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 29 TIMES IN 22 MONTHS. THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE TURBO OR THE ICP AND KEEP TELLING ME IT IS NORMAL. I WAS WONDERING WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VIDEOS OR HEAR THE TAPE RECORDINGS OF THEM TELLING ME NORMAL IS WHEN THE TRUCK IS HOPING SO BAD THE FRONT TIRES COME OFF THE GROUND. *TR

2007 FORD F-250 (42K MILES) - WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT AN IMPERFECTION ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 55 MPH. I HAVE TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER TO GET IT TO STOP AND THEN CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. IT'S BEEN DOING IT THE LAST 3 MONTHS, BUT TODAY I FINALLY TOOK THE FORD TECH FOR A RIDE AND IT DID IT TWICE FOR HIM. SO FAR THEY'RE SAYING I HAVE THE WRONG SIZE TIRES, BUT THEY'RE THE SAME SIZE THE TRUCK CAME WITH AND GOODYEAR INSTALLED THEM, I'M WITH A STATE AGENCY AND DO NOT HAVE MANY OPTIONS AS FAR AS TRADING THE VEHICLE. I DO THINK FORD SHOULD BE FIXING THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN THE SAME COMPLAINT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ON FORUM DISCUSSIONS. *TR
