2015 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND STARTED EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE. COULD BARELY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND FELT LIKE A TIRE WAS GONNA COME OFF.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MILES AN HOUR I PASSED OVER A BRIDGE AND MY FORD TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN PASSING OVER BUMPS GOING OVER BRIDGES ETC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN ENDANGERING ME AND EVERYONE ELSE. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE TRUCK.

HIT A BUMP ON INTERSTATE AND TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO COME APART. SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH (ON THE INTERSTATE!) AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. RECENTLY HAD WORK DONE ON THE STEERING DAMPER AND OTHER SUSPENSION ELEMENTS. UNSURE IF THIS FIX WORKED.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON 6 LANE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 65-75MPH. WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND THE STEERING AND BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE WERE GREATLY IMPAIRED AND THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I DECREASED THE SPEED BY AT LEAST 15-20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN EITHER ONE TIRE HITS A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD OR BOTH TIRES HIT AN UNEVEN BRIDGE ON THE HIGHWAY.

THIS TRUCK HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS IN THE INTERNET AS DEATH WOBBLE, I GOT THE VEHICLE RECENTLY FROM A DEALER WITH NO INFO ON THE MANNER. THE TRUCK LOSES CONTROL BRIEFLY WHEN OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE FRONT TIRES DRIVE THROUGH SMALL HOLES OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD, MORE COMMON ON THE HIGHWAY. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, TBIS SPECIFIC INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR, LOST CONTROL BRIEFLY, HAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL.

AT JUST OVER 100000 MILES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P20BA CAME ON, REDUCTANT HEATER, TURN OUT AS IT IS AN F250 ITS NOT COVERED, BUT F450 AND F550 ARE. ALSO AS AIR TEMPERATURES ARE IN HIGH 80F, THE HEATER IS NOT REQUIRED. NOW EMISSIONS ARE NOT MEETING THE SPECIFICATIONS AND TRUCK COMPLETES MORE REGENS TO STAY CLEAN, INCREASING CHANCE OF HEATING NEARBY ITEMS (STRAW, GRASS AND HOUSEHOLD STRUCTURE) POTENTIALLY STARTING FIRES. THE REGENS OCCUR DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND THE HEATING AFFECTS SURROUNDING AREA WHEN PARKED

WE HAVE TWO TRUCKS A 2015 [XXX] AND 2016 [XXX] F250 TRUCKS FINANCED THROUGH FORD. BOTH AC EVAPORATORS HAVE GONE OUT AND FORD IS SAYING THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ARE NOT PRODUCING ANYMORE UNTIL IT IS REDESIGNED. THEY DONT KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE OR IF IT WILL BE RECALLED FOR THIS. SO I AM A LANDSCAPE COMPANY IN FLORIDA AND OUR CREWS HAVE NO AC UNTIL WHO KNOWS WHEN. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP EXPRESS THE REDESIGN OR RECALL. WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE THESE PAYMENTS AND A/C IS NOT AN OPTION. WE ARE CONSIDERING RENTING TRUCKS FOR NOW. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL MAKING THESE PAYMENTS. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

MY 2015 F250 HAS DEVELOPED THE NOTORIOUS FORD DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP, BRIDGE JOINT, OR ANY LARGE ENOUGH DEFORMITY IN THE ROAD IT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOSE ALL STEERING CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW AND IT IS ONLY GETTING MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 24JUN2020 TO HAVE THE SUSPENSION LOOKED AT. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT YET, BUT I HAVE HAD OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS HEADING FROM CIBOLO, TX TO KINGSVILLE, TX. (DISTANCE 181 MILES) UPON ARRIVING AT DESTINATION I SHUT DOWN MY TRUCK. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONNECTED MY OBD READER AND IT IDENTIFIED THE FAULT CODE P21B0 (I DID NOT CLEAR ANY CODES). FROM MY RESEARCH IT RELATES TO THE 'REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR 'C' CIRCUIT HIGH'. AFTER RESEARCHING MORE INFORMATION I STARTED LOOKING THROUGH THE INFORMATION CENTER UNDER THE VEHICLE SETTING AND NOTICED THE DEF LEVEL WAS BELOW HALF (I NEVER GOT A POP UP OR NOTIFICATION FROM THE INFORMATION CLUSTER). IN THE PAST THE INFORMATION CLUSTER WOULD DISPLAY THE LEVEL NOTIFICATION WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THIS TIME IT DID NOT. I PURCHASED SOME DEF AND FILLED THE TANK. IT ONLY TOOK TWO GALLONS OF DEF. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE REST OF THE DAY DRIVING AROUND AFTER FILLING THE DEF TANK AND THE DEF 'BELOW HALF' NOTIFICATION ALSO REMAINED ON. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE DEF 'BELOW HALF' NOTIFICATION WAS GONE. *TR
