I HAVE A NEW 2006 FORD F-250 SD DIESEL 6.0L. THE FIRST YEAR I OWNED IT 7,000 MILES I BLEW A HEAD GASKET. IT TOOK FORD MORE THAN 5 WEEKS TO FIX IT AND 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS OF HASSLE. 6 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I SPOKE WITH FORD THEY GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT 1 MONTH AFTER I CALLED TO SET THE APPOINTMENT. AFTER THAT MONTH DEALERSHIP TOOK 4 WEEKS OF MY TIME WITH MY TRUCK AND DIDN'T FIX A THING. TOLD ME THEY WERE TO BUSY TO DEAL WITH ME AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED. GOT FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS INVOLVED AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. I NOW HAVE MY "UNFIXED" TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH ANOTHER APPOINTMENT 2 WEEKS AWAY AND THAT DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO IT. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE PLUS THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED ME ANY MONEY FOR CAR RENTAL FEES NOTHING. PLEASE ADVISE. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE POLICE. UPDATED 12/12/07. *JB

MY 2006 F-250 SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING A POT HOLE THIS OCCURS ABOUT ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR THE VEHICLE TO QUIT SHAKING I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REARENDED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE LANE ON ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH MY 2-MONTH OLD IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I CAN NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AND HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY LUCKY THE CIRCUMSTANCES HAVEN'T BEEN DIFFERENT OTHERWISE THE SITUATION COULD OF BEEN FATAL FOR MY 2-MONTH OLD, MY HUSBAND AND MY SELF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH UNDER NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE HIT A POTHOLE AND SPUN OUT. THE CONTACT HAS SPOKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT FAILURE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000.

I HAVE A 2006 F250 THAT THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A HOLE OR SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 55 TO 60 MPH,THEN YOU MUST USE BOTH HANDS TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH OR LESS TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I AM A LARGE MAN 6'2" 240LBS AND MY FEAR IS THAT MY WIFE OR SOMEONE OF A SMALLER STATURE BE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND RESULTS IN A FATALITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT A SIX MONTH PERIOD I OWNED THE TRUCK AND IS CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE , BY THAT I MEAN EVERY DAY THIS PAST WEEK. *TR

TRUCK HAS A VERTICAL VIBRATION MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 45-50 MPH. TRUCK ALSO HAS STEERING PROBLEM AT HIGH SPEEDS SUCH AS INTERSTATE DRIVING. AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE HIGHWAY WILL JUST ABOUT CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FORD DENIES ANY PROBLEM, YET HAS ISSUED TSB 07-05-11 TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN THAT A FEW CUSTOMERS MAY HAVE. APPARENTLY IT IS MORE THAN A FEW CUSTOMERS. THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OR GREATER, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

OUR FORD F250 4X4 DIESEL TRUCK HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. IT'S LOCKING UP WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. WE HAD 2 OCCASIONS WHERE WE JUST MISSED BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE STEERING LOCKS YOU CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES IN THE DIRECTION JUST PRIOR TO THE LOCK. THE WHEEL NEEDS TO BE TURNED BACK LEFT TO UNLOCK AND THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. WE LIVE ON A CURVE ROAD AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FOLSOM CA, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED BACK THE 60 MILES TODAY AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS VEHICLE. *AK

2006 FORD F250, SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL IF I ENCOUNTER ROUGH ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY. SO FAR PROBLEM OCCURS AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH. *TR

I OWN A 2006 F250 4*4 AND WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND EVEN SWAYS FROM LANE TO LANE, WHEN ENCOUNTERING ANY ROUGH PLACE IN THE ROADWAY. THIS IS A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING AND I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM WRECKING. THE SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE SLOWN DOWN DRAMATICALLY OR COME TO A STOP. FORD HAS COMMENTED THAT IT COULD BE THE AIR PRESSURE AND HAVE ORDERED A STEERING DAMPER TO TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAY ONE AND WITH THE FACTORY TIRES AND THE NEW TIRES THAT I HAVE ON IT NOW. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE DEFECT IN DESIGN.
