Ford Death Wobble. The vehicle violently shakes when it hits a bump in the road and only stops if you slow the vehicle or stop completely. You nearly lose control of the wheel. A steering damper was placed on the vehicle as advised by Ford and the problem has not resolved. It has only continued to get worse. The vehicle has had regular maintenance per the Ford warranty plan purchased with the vehicle. Ford should have a recall on all vehicles reported with this problem.

FORD 2017 F250 - Fuel system completely collapsed, with NO WARNING truck completely went powerless doing 70 MPH on the highway with my son in the back of the truck. Luckily I had the mind to pull over safely. What if I was towing a load or similar on mountain roads. Ford said they found rust and debris in the fuel system, they would not cover it under Premium Ford warranty. Safeco/Liberty Mutual stated they tested the fuel and was fine. No coverage either on Auto Insurance. Total cost was $13,500 to repair the system on which I had full warranty and full insurance coverage. Ford did help with a $4000 Customer retention help fund. I am reporting in hopes to save lives, if I I wasn't aware at the time of the complete power failure things could have been significantly worse. I was completely unimpressed with both Ford/Liberty Mutual on the handling of the SCARY situation. I send a personal letter to the FORD CEO and got nothing. I believe FORD is hiding on this issue with BAD FUEL pumps (CP4 version) and trying to blame owners or bad fuel systems.

When driving over uneven pavement or really bumpy roads, the front end of my truck shakes uncontrollably and I have to slow down really quickly or come to a complete stop in order for it to stop. It really freaked me out the first time it happened and now it's happening more frequently and I don't know what to do about it. I'm seeing that I'm not alone in this issue and if Ford knows about the issue and complaints, then they need to do something about this before I or someone really gets hurt.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH on uneven surface, the vehicle failed to remain in the lane. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the vehicle was diagnosed with steering linkage damper failure. The steering linkage damper was replaced four times; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

After driving for over an hour at highway speed, I smelled something but could not determine what it was. The next day I drove around town and once when I pulled up to a traffic signal, I noticed the smell again and some light smoke coming from the front of the truck. When I got home, I opened the hood and diesel fuel was dripping off the hood insulator and running all over the engine and around the seals around the hood. I cranked the engine again to see if I could determine where it was coming from and a saw a stream shooting straight up from the center of the engine. I took it to a local Ford dealership, and they repaired it. The top of the fuel filter mounted in the top center of the engine ruptured and sprayed diesel all over the engine. I left the part at the dealership after the repair. There were no dashboard warnings and there was no change in vehicle responsiveness in pressing the accelerator. When I returned from the dealership, the diesel that had spilled reached the exhaust system and smoke came out from under the center of the truck. It half-emptied the fuel tank in 3 days. I know diesel in not as volatile as gasoline, but this was still a dangerous situation.

Death wobble when driving more than 50 MPH when crossing a seam or expansion joint on the roadway, less than 18,000 miles on the truck, used like a car, not a work truck. Became worse over time, becoming violent shaking with the slightest bump. My wife was afraid to drive the truck. Had to slow to less than 45 mph whenever approaching a bridge, etc. The Ford dealership took two years to come up with available part to make the repair. Less than 45,000 miles and feels like it is starting again.

If you hit a bump in the road or rough road you can not control the truck almost put you into a wall.

I was driving down Haleakala Highway Maui and wasn’t pushing the gas or braking and my truck started shaking uncontrollably with my daughter in the truck. It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered…..I believe it was the ford death wobble
