2006 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. MY 2006 F250 BECOMES UNABLE TO DRIVE AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH THE FRONT WHEEL SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE TO ALMOST STOP FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING. AND THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND PULLING OFF THE ROAD IS A PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN A SHOW DONE ON THE PROBLEM ON TRUCK-U WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRACK BAR ON THE TRUCK TO REPAIR THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TALK TO FORD AND THE HAS SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSE BE THE TIRE NOT AT THE RIGHT PRESSURE WE IS BULL IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NOT HAVE DONE A SHOW ABOUT IT YOU WOULD THINK THAT FORD WOULD HAVE WATCHED THE SHOW AND THEN THEY WOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE GET HURT BEFORE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING. *TR

FREQUENT VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING WHEN VEHICLE HOT SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. 9 OUT OF 10 FORD F250 OWNERS WE HAVE SPOKEN TO HAVE THE VERY SAME PROBLEM AND WE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS AGENCY HAS NOT RECALLED THESE TRUCKS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 FORD F250 PICKUP, 4WD, DIESEL. WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY IT CAUSES A FRONT END SHIMMY THAT NEARLY CAUSES ME TO LOSE CONTROL. IT HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW. IT HAS NO LIFT KIT, NO MODIFICATIONS. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH OTHER LATE MODEL F250 OWNERS AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD SAYS IT'S DUE TO LIFT KITS, OURS HAVE NO LIFT KITS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, THERE WAS A SECTION OF SMOOTHED PAVEMENT THAT HAD BEEN REPAIRED, SLIGHT BUMP IN ROAD. WHEN THE TRUCK WENT OVER IT, THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING, THE FRONT WHEELS VIOLENTLY SHOOK OUT OF CONTROL. IT DID NOT MINIMIZE AT ALL UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO ABOUT 10MPH AND IT WENT AWAY. IT WAS ENOUGH TO SCARE MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT AND MYSELF. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK, THIS BEING THE WORST. I WOULD BE VERY AFRAID OF AN ACCIDENT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO THIS DEGREE OUT ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES IT HAPPENED, THEY BLAMED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PRIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST AT THE DEALER A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR SERVICE WHERE THEY SET THE TIRE PRESSURES THEMSELVES. *TR

2006 F-250 SUPER DUTY CREW CAB SHORT BED WITH 5.4L FRONT END HAS A BAD VIBRATION/RATTLE WHEN SPEED EXCEEDS 60 MPH. I DRIVE 15 MINUTES TO WORK EACH DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND DURING MY TRAVELS I BET WHETHER OR NOT THE RATTLE AND VIBRATION WILL SHOW UP WHILE EN ROUTE. I NOTICE THE RATTLE EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS IN TOWN ESPECIALLY ON PATCHED ROADS OR POT HOLE TYPE DIPS. AT HIGH SPEEDS THE VIBRATION MAY LAST FOR 5 MILES OR MORE OR IT MAY CLEAR UP IN A FEW HUNDRED FEET DEPENDING ON HOW THE NEXT BUMP IN THE ROAD STRIKES THE FRONT TIRES. I SHARE THE SENTIMENT OF OTHER THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM THAT IS AN ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM HIGHWAY SPEED SAFELY IN YOUR VEHICLE. FORD NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. WHETHER ITS BAD HARMONICS WITH CERTAIN SHOCK ABSORBERS, TO HARD OF TIRES, FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY BEARING ISSUES,TOE AND CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS GETTING MESSED UP, ETC. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A COMPONENT OR SET OF RELATED ITEMS CAUSING WHAT WE ALL ARE EXPERIENCING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 F250 DIESEL SUPER DUTY (HAVE ABOUT 35000 MILES ON IT) PULLING A 26 FOOT RV TRAVEL TRAILER LOST THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, CRUISE CONTROL RESET AND BASICALLY ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. THE TRUCK GOT REAL QUIET. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESTORED AND ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON, THE DASH WAS THE ABS LIGHT. THE ABS LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 100 MILES AND THEN WENT OFF. DROVE ANOTHER 200 MILES WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO FORD BUT THERE WERE NO ENGINE CODES STORED AND PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RECREATED. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKING OF ENTIRE VEHICLE AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN ROAD AT SPEED OF 65 MPH.2006 F250 WITH 32,000 MILES ON IT.THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE WEEK, ON THE WAY TO AND FROM VACATION. THE TRUCK WAS NOT HEAVILY LOADED,NOR WAS IT TOWING ANYTHING. THE TRUCK TOWED A MOVING TRAILER ONCE BUT NOT AT HIGH SPEED. IS NOT DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS DAILY. WE WANT TO GET A CAMPER AND TOW IT WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT IF WE HAD BEEN TOWING A CAMPER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE. *TR
