2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

WHILE USING THE BOSS 8'2" V-PLOW I PURCHASED FOR MY 2019 F250 I EXPERIENCED RADIO FAILURE, DASH LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITH A PLOW PREP PACKAGE, IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN THE PLOW IS RAISED TO THE HIGHEST POSITION AND THE CYLINDER BOTTOMS OUT

TRUCK EXPERIENCES VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL (DEATH WOBBLE) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS LOADED OR UNLOADED AND WITH OR WITHOUT TOWING A TRAILER. REPAIRS WERE MADE BUT ISSUE STILL PRESENT. TRUCK AT DEALER AGAIN FOR MORE REPAIRS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE IN TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE AND KIDS WILL NOT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, A DEER CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DARK SMOKE, ASHES, AND FLAMES APPEARED BEHIND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT FROM THE FLOORBOARD TO THE BASE CENTER POST BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, BUT BURNED HIS LEFT HAND. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 350.

TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY/UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 35 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP.

EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION AND UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. "DEATH WOBBLE". WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 75 MPH WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND CONTINUED UNTIL I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY..

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STRAIGHT OR IN A BEND, AND A BUMP IS HIT THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE THIS DEATH WOBBLE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN BELOW 35MPH

MY 2019 F250 LARIAT HAS 24300 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY LOOSE STEERING WHICH I THOUGHT MIGHT BE STANDARD ON A F250 SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I HIT A SMALL ROUGH AREA ON HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE FORCING BE TO SLOW TO ABOUT 20MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON ON FORD F-250S AND FORD HAS IGNORED EVEN WITH THE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 70MPH AND SLOWING TO 20MPH PUT ME IN GRAVE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT NOT TO MENTION WORRYING THAT THE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO SELF DISTRUCT. HOPEFULLY WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS 'DEATH WOBBLE' ON THE INTERNET WILL FORCE YOU AND FORD TO DO YOUR JOB AND RECALL THE VEHICLES. I AM DOING MY PART IN TELLING EVERYONE I CAN ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THIS VEHICLE.

TRAVELLING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON CALIFORNIA STATE HIGHWAY 395, MY TRUCK PASSED OVER A BRIDGE WITH ROUGH ROAD ON THE OTHER SIDE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT TIRES STARTED TO VIBRATE OR WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL. THE WOBBLING RESULTED IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED BELOW 45 MPH. VEHICLE IS A 2019 FORD F250 SD 4X4.

21,997 MILES, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 62 MPH. HIT A BUMP AND EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE. SLOWED TO 20 MPH BEFORE TRUCK DROVE OUT OF IT. PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2017 350 THAT DID THE SAME THING AT 20K MILES. FORD BOUGHT IT BACK. TRUSTED THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN, SO BOUGHT THIS 2019. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA HASN'T REQUIRED FORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY SHAKY OVER BUMPS AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED. RECENTLY TRUCK HAS BEGAN DEATH WOBBLE (STEERING OSCILLATION) WHEN HITTING POTHOLES, BRIDGE JOINTS, AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION TRANSITIONS.TODAY IN TRAFFIC AT 50-55 MPH, IT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. HIGH TRAFFIC AREA AND BRAKING WAS SLOW DUE TO TRACTION LOSS DURING OSCILLATION.
