2015 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE ADVANCED AUTO TRAC MALFUNCTION AND CAUSES LOSS OF BREAKS. FORD CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND SEEMS UNWORRIED ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE QUESTIONED FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE RESPONSE I GET IS IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF ISSUES. THEY WANT TO START CHANGING PARTS AT MY COST WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS OR NOT WANTING TO ADMIT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND HAPPENS WITHOUT CAUSE. A BELL GOES OFF YOU LOSE POWER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND LOSE BREAKS FOR PERIODS OF TIME WHILE BELLS ARE GOING OFF.

STARTED HAVING DEATH WOBBLE LAST YEAR AT ABOUT 95000 MILES. PUT NEW TIRES ON IT, NEW ROTORS, TRACKBAR, DRAGLINK, TIE RODS. I THINK IT IS A LOT MORE CONTROLLABLE BUT IT STILL BUMP STEERS IN CURVES AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP BUT DOESN'T BREAK INTO DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE JUST REPORTED THREE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALL IN THE LAST YEAR.

VEHICLE STEERING BEGINS VIOLENT WOBBLE AT MID AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND IS NORMALLY INITIATED BY EXPANSION JOINT AND ROAD FEATURES. THE WOBBLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE AND IS A SERIOUS RISK TO THE DRIVER AND ADJACENT VEHICLES.

BRAKES TESTED A MONTH AGO AT FORD. ALL OF A SUDDEN NO BRAKES AND FLUID EVERYWHERE. FORD SAID CALIPER JUST WENT BAD 1500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH WAS A APPARENT DEFECT. NOTHING SHOULD GO BAD THAT QUICK. PADS METAL ON METAL WITH NO WARNING. NO LIGHT. NO NOISE. NOTHING. JUST SNAPPED PUTTING MYSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND ME IN DANGER

DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCED BY ME ON 5/10/19 DOING 60 ON RURAL ROAD. EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 AT LEAST 6 TIMES THE NEXT TIME. A MOTORCYCLE ALMOST CRASHED-FORD FIXED BY FRONT END ALIGNMENT-EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK TO FORD TO REPAIR AND THE SVC MGR SUGGESTED WE FILE A CASE NUMBER WITH FORD CAS-22221345-C3V0P4 ON 7/23/19, FORD CUST EXPERIENCE SPECIALIST SUGGESTED WE TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER, TOOK TO TOOK TO GORDIE BOUCHER WHO SAID IT RECOMMENDS REPLACING BOTH TIE RODS DUE TO INNER TIE ROD AT THE PITMAN ARM HAS PLAY IN IT AND THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER TIE ROD HAS PLAY IT IT TOOPREPLACED LEFT SIDE DRAG LINK AND THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER TIE. DEALER STATED WORSE TRUCK THEY HAD EVER DRIVEN. DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN GOING 35 DOWN HWY H IN KENOSHA COUNTY. EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENED WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR AN OFF RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. WAITING FOR AN OFF RAMP IS THE SCARIEST BECAUSE YOU HOPE YOU CAN CONTROL THE TRUCK TO MAKE IT OFF THE INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND DID RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHERS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING SO HE DID THE SAME-REPLACE THE STEERING SHOCK, THE STABILIZING BAR ASSEMBLY, THE TRACK BAR ASSEMBLY, AND THE FRONT SHOCKS. FORD DID 2 FRONT END ALIGNMENTS, THEY TURNED ROTORS ALSO..FORD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE SPECIALISTS KEEPS TELLING US TO TAKE TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. PER FORD, TIRE TREAD AND WEAR ARE GOOD. IT APPEARS EVERYTHING MY HUSBAND HAS DONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT WE WILL SEE WHEN WE DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD ON OUR NEXT INTERSTATE TRIP. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE PAID OUT $1,675 AND MY HUSBAND HAS DONE ALL THE WORK. WE ARE SCARED TO DEATH THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE ARE UNSURE WHAT STEPS WE SHOULD BE TAKING, BUT WE ARE AFRAID WE COULD DIE AND NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS.
