2021 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

When towing a trailer, the Trailer brakes stop working. the brakes, using the pedal and lights all work perfectly on truck and trailer. But if you squeeze the brake control paddles, you immediately get a trailer disconnected message and although all lights still work, the brake controller does NOT. Then sometimes, just driving and perhaps stopping at a gas station, the trailer brakes also stop working and you don't realize until going down a hill. This has happened multiple times. I start out just fine and then ?

At 65 + MPH my truck experienced high speed wobble, it made me slow down in the fast lane to around 40 MPH to get vehicle under control and move to right lanes. Steering wheel was out of control and wobbles shaking the instrument display was unable to see any display because of buffering, this is the 3rd time it has happened and have 42k miles on vehicle.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford F-250. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V250000 (Visibility) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I was driving on the highway with 3 other passengers, at around 75 mph when my steering wheel started to shake wildly and my truck started to shake violently, to the point of almost losing control. I let off the gas and changed lanes to the right and breaked hard to a stop on the shoulder. I got out and inspected all 4 tires, expecting to see a front tire flat… but everything looked fine. I got back in and truck and drove off. Everything seemed normal. Friend from work explained about Ford Truck’s and Jeep’s infamous “Death Wobble.” Freaked me out, and scared the crap out of the other adult passengers. This worries me for my upcoming family road-trip.

While I was driving on the highway my hood popped up thankfully the safety catch held it but it was very unnerving I haven't been able to recreate the problem

When traveling on the highway at speeds above 65 mph, a slight bump in the road would take control over the steering wheel and cause the steering wheel and whole truck to shake uncontrollably. Braking would only prolong the shake. Only by slowing down to 45mph or lower, by taking foot off the gas, would the shaking stop. The process repeats at the next uneven pavement it encounters. I have multiple videos that I can share, but this site will not let me upload. This felt very unsafe and luckily I was the only car on the road at the time or the outcome may have been different.

6/25/22 around 5:30PM, my 2021 F250 7.3 gas engine with 10k miles experienced sudden unintended acceleration. At McDonald’s pickup window foot firmly on brake pedal, my truck felt like it was being pushed away from window. Truck got up to speed of approx. 5 mph and moved forward around 30 feet, shifted truck out of drive and RPMs when up to 5k. Foot was on brake pedal the entire time. Turned truck off and walked around truck to confirm no damage, problem has not yet happened again.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford F-250. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V250000 (Visibility) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed the windshield wipers detached from the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The forward heat shield/sound insulator became dislodged from the retainers and dropped onto the forward driveshaft. This damaged the driveshaft. This incident could have resulted in the driveshaft fracturing and may have resulted in an accident. This condition is documented in NHTSA Campaign number 22V-087 and Ford recall 22S09. Per the Ford dealer who repaired the truck and per an employee of Ford Motor Company, the two wheel drive Ford Super Duty trucks have not been included in the recall. These places thousands of vehicle owners at risk of an accident related to this condition.

Dear staff; I purchased my 2021 Ford F-250 new July 25th, 2021. I noticed my undercarriage was covered in great portions of rust. The front driveshaft to the outer ends and the rear housing, including the rear driveshaft u-joint has a significant amount of rust. What’s surprising is I have only 5400 miles and the truck appears to look 20 years old. I have a neighbor who is a GM of another competitor dealership. He crawled under the truck and said this is a safety issue which needs to be addressed. Two Ford dealership Service managers informed over the phone this is a common issue and not to be concerned. I have owned eight Ford pickups throughout my life and never had this deep concern. Knowing this rust has perforated the tie rods, I don’t feel safe driving this $60,000 vehicle. My only recourse since Ford won’t honor its warranty is for me to trade it in on a GMC. I have been loyal to Ford for 36 years to finally get shrugged off.
