2020 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

My truck engine does not start after idling in the driveway. The gauges have power, but there is a no crank/no start situation. I used an OBD reader, and there is no communication with the computer. I researched recalls for similar vehicles, and there was a battery junction box recall on several VIN characters, but not mine, I believe this is a larger problem that affects more characters than what is currently listed. My truck is currently in the repair shop at ukiah Ford.

I want to file a formal complaint against Sunland Ford in Victorville California about not remedying this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. A letter was sent out to me on May of 2022 regarding this recall and I have contacted Sunland Ford several times to get this recall resolved and here we are almost a year later and it still hasn't been fixed. I was in snowy conditions in Montana in March and I just about wrecked because of the became inoperable for a short period of time so I need someone to please get Sunland Ford to hurry up and get this fixed asap.

Experienced “the death wobble” going 68 mph on a highway after hitting a small transition.

The clock spring in my truck has been replaced two times now and is now failed for a third time. I’ve heard from other owners, and they are also experiencing problems with their steering wheel clock springs.

Traveling on the highway when I would hit rough road or potholes the front end would shake violently enough to scare me, like the front end was loose. I did not lose control, but it was at the point where I thought I could. I have never felt anything like it. After doing some research and finding many others with the same issue enough that the common name for it was the Ford "Death Wobble"! My Pickup is an F250 2020 with 60000 miles on it should not have that problem this soon. But in my research, I found that it was happening as low as 20,000 miles and that the repairs would only hold for about 25,000 miles. To verify I took it into the local Ford dealership who did a diagnostic check up on it and said the drag links were shot. They said it was a common thing and that they replace several a week to the tune of about $1500 plus dollars.

While driving highway speed (approx. 65 MPH) on a paved Farm Market Road, the front end of the truck started vibrating so bad that I temporarily lost control of the truck. The vibration and bucking of the front end of the truck pulled me into the other lane but fortunately there was no oncoming traffic. I reduced my speed and pulled to the shoulder and examined my tires and undercarriage. Upon examination everything appeared to be intact and no damage was observed. There were no previous warnings or indications of an issue prior to the incident. I have since driven the truck approx.100 miles with no issues. This truck is well maintained and had no previous issues!
