2016 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

DRIVING ONE DAY THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD IT REPAIRED - BUT IT IS DOING IT AGAIN JUST 2 MONTHS LATER. (DEATH RATTLE). *TR

THE DASH CLUSTER CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS WHEN I HAD AROUND 38,000 MIKES ON MY TRUCK. IT WAS SPORADIC AND ONLY A FEW INSTANCES. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP TRUCK ON ROAD WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND PULLING OFF ON THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON/OFF WITHIN NO WARNING. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLYO. APPEARS TO HAPPEN WHEN GOING 60 MILES AND HOUR OR OVER AND WITHOUT WARNING BUT MOSTLY ALWAYS WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE.

WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAYS THE TRUCK GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE REPAIRED BY FORD. 10 MONTHS LATER DEATH WOBBLE IS BACK CAN NOT DRIVE TRUCK SAFELY. *TR

RADIATOR IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN 77,000 MILES THE RADIATOR HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 FORD F250 CREW CAB ON A HIGHWAY, AT 50 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE STEERING STARTED WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 25 MILES PER HOUR TO STOP THE WOBBLING. HAPPENED AGAIN AT 65 MILES AND HOUR A FEW MINUTES LATER ON THE SAME ROAD. *TR

TRUCK HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PENNSYLVANIAN (NOT PULLING A TRAILER JUST DRIVING HOME) WHEN I WAS GOING ALONE THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I BRAKED AND THEN BACK ON THE GAS AND IT WAS FINE. I'VE READ A TON ABOUT THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" AND FEARED THIS WHEN BUYING A F250 BUT DIDN'T THINK THAT I TOO WOULD BE A VICTIM OF THIS POOR DESIGN BY FORD. I ROTATE AND BALANCE MY TIRES EVERY 5K TO 15K MILES AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED OKAY. VERY FRUSTRATING I HAVE TO BUY NEW PARTS FOR A TRACK THAT SHOULD LAST 100K+ WITHOUT ISSUES. I ORDERED AN AFTERMARKET (FOX) STABILIZER SHOCK BECAUSE THE FORD OEM ONE ON THE TRUCK WAS SHOT (LOST ALL ITS GAS OR LEAKED). AGAIN ONLY 48K MILES WHAT A JOKE! UNFORTUNATELY THE STABILIZER SHOCK HASN'T COMPLETELY SOLVED THE ISSUE. WHEN I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD I CAN FEEL THE PLAY IN THE WHEEL STILL AND BELIEVE I NEED TO GO THROUGH AND CHANGE ALL THE BALL JOINTS AND LINK ENDS. DO ALL THIS AND AGAIN CROSS MY FINGERS THAT IT WONT COME BACK. WANT TO BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE. JUST WANT A TRUCK THAT WORKS FOR AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR THIS THING FROM THE FACTORY. SAD FORD. I'M A DIE HARD FORD GUY BUT THIS IS A SAD DAY. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE PURCHASE TRUCK TWO YEARS AGO FRONT AND WAS FIXED THEN WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF STARTED VIBRATING AGAIN REPLACED EVERYTHING IN FRONT IN DEATH WOBBLE STILL BAD EVEN AFTER ALIGNMENT I AM ALMOST WRECKED THE TRUCK TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK IT IS NOW PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH HAD A CATASTROPHIC BLOW OUT. THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE TIRE BLEW. ALSO AFTER INSPECTING THE OTHER TIRES NOTICED A CHUNK OF TREAD MISSING ON ANOTHER TIRE.

WITH 24,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK MY VEHICLE FRONT TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING TO WHERE MY TRUCK FELT LIKE THE AXLE WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. IT HAS BEEN IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS DEATH WOBBLE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE JOINT WHICH TRIGGERED THE SHAKING. AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN BELOW 45 (ON THE FREEWAY MIND YOU), THE WOBBLE GOES AWAY AND MY TRUCK RIDES LIKE NORMAL. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT, BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND THAT MY BALL JOINTS WERE DESTROYED, AND REPLACED THEM. THREE MONTHS LATER THE DEATH WOBBLE CAME BACK AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ORIGINALLY REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS, AND ONCE AGAIN THE NEW BALL JOINTS WERE DESTROYED. THIS TIME THEY ALSO INSTALLED A STEERING STABLEIZER WHICH MADE THE FRONT END FEEL BETTER, BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING IT, THE DEATH WOBBLE CAME BACK. I NOW TOOK MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO INSTANTLY FOUND A TECHNICIAN SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) #16-0087 WHICH IS POSTED FROM FORD IN APRIL OF 2016 WHICH STATES THAT SOME SUSPENSION PARTS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, SO THEY INSTALLED THOSE PARTS..THE VERY NEXT DAY THE DEATH WOBBLE CAM BACK, AND THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW TRACK BAR,THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH IT DIDN'T LOOK DEFECTIVE, BUT BECAUSE AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FOR A MONTH, AND EVEN WITH THE HELP OF FORD'S MECHANICAL SPECIALISTS AT THE MAIN HEADQUARTERS COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. THIS WOBBLE ALL STARTED WHILE MY TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEN THE PAST 3 REPAIRS, IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
