2015 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

F250 DEATH WOBBLE MY 2015 F250 PICK-UP TRUCK IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WITH 38,000 MILES AND IT HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH OR HIGHER, PRESSING THE BRAKE AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. IT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. TIRES AND BRAKES ARE BRAND NEW - SILL HAPPENS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY STARTS WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, AND THE ONLY SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS COME TO A VERY SLOW SPEED OR A DEAD STOP. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE REGARDING THIS MATTER, AND SEVERAL VIDEOS OUT THERE REGARDING THIS MATTER. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER, AS IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. MY TRUCK IS PAMPERED, AND ONLY HAS 55K ON IT, SO THIS ISN'T BECAUSE OF ABUSE.

STARTS A BAD WOBBLE AND SHAKE WITH NO WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OFF OF THE ROAD. YOU HAVE TO SLOW TO BELOW 30MPH FOR IT TO STOP.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK LOSING STEERING WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPY ROADS OR MULTIPLE POTHOLES IN A ROW WHENEVER SPEED IS ABOVE 30 MPH. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HAVE LITERALLY LOST CONTROL ENOUGH THAT I CROSS LANES, UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED DEFECTS IN THE ROAD SURFACE. I HAVE TRAVELED ACROSS THE SAME ROAD SURFACE IN OTHER VEHICLES AT SIMILAR SPEEDS AND HAVE NO NOTICABLE EFFECTS. THE 2015 F250 SD HAS THE SAME LOSS IN CONTROL EVERY TIME.

JULY 21 2017 8:00 PM NEAR CHAMA NEW MEXICO PULLING A 10,000 POUND FITH WHEEL TRAILER CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN PASS THE TRUCK CHIMES FLASHES A WARNING AND GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING ( VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WITH LOCATION AND WARNING) THIS DIESEL TRUCK WAS DESIGNED TO PULL A TRAILER ??? AFTER RESEARCH WE LIMPED OFF OF THE MOUNTAIN PASS WARNINGS WERE THE FLASHED ON THE DASH THAT TO CLEAN THE EXHAUST FILTER WE NEEDED TO DRIVE AS WE DID TO NO AVAIL, STOPPED FOR THE NIGHT UNHOOKED THE TRAILER LAND WE WERE ABLE TO PARTIALLY CLEAN THE EXHAUST FILTER WITH NO LOAD ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE TRIP WE HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED AT THE PURCHASING DEALER THE DID A MANUAL REGENERATION OF THE EXHAUST FILTER THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WITHIN NORMAL MAINTENANCE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREME SHIMMING (DEATH WOBBLE) NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR JUST A ROUGH SPOT IN THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK STARTS SHIMMING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD TO SLOW THE TRUCK UNTIL IT STOPS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY (7/14/17). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BEHIND ME WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER TO DECELERATE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE WAS WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND SHE SAID IF SHE WAS DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I UNDERSTAND FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHER FORD F-250 4X4 OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. IS ANYTHING BEING DONE TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL FOR THIS ON YOUR SITE OR ON FORD'S SITE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, NEXT WEDNESDAY TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE FRONT SUSPENSION FOR ANY DEFECTS BUT I WANTED TO ADD MY NAME TO WHAT I AM SURE IS A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS ADDRESSED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK AND THE CHECK BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ABS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW. CASE NUMBER: 12138371 WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. *JS

MY COMPLAINT IS FORD HAS NO WARNING SYSTEM BEFORE IT DOES $7800.00 DAMAGE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO FORD MOTOR CORP. AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY MY CASE NUMBER IS CAS11721824. THE FORD DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SAID FORD USED TO HAVE A DESIGN FEATURE TO SHUT DOWN MOTOR BEFORE IT DID DAMAGE TO FUEL SYSTEM BUT THE EPA HAD THEM REMOVE IT AND FORD NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN TO REPLACE THE WARNING FEATURE. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I HAD CONTAMINATED FUEL THAT BY PASSED THE FILTERS THAT I HAD CHANGED ACCORDING TO FORDS RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAVE A REPORT FROM THE STATE OF ARKANSAS BUREAU OF STANDARDS PETROLEUM DIVISION AND THE FUEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE DIESEL WAS NOT CONTAMINATED FROM THE LAST PLACE I FUELED UP. I REGULARLY USE THE SAME AUTO LUBE TO SERVICE MY TRUCK AND WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD EXCESSIVELY DIRTY FUEL FILTERS AND ONLY HAD 7000 MILES ON THE LAST FUEL FILTER CHANGE BEFORE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND FORD HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WHY HAVEN'T THEY IMPLEMENTED A SAFETY FEATURE TO PROTECT THE FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE IT DOES EXTENSIVE DAMAGE COSTING THE CONSUMER THIS MUCH TO REPAIR?

HAVE A 2015 FORD F-250 LARIAT. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. AROUND 40,000 MILES A CODE CAME ACROSS THE DASH DISPLAY HI'LL DESCENT/ TRACTION CONTROL FAULT-. SO IN TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. GOT IT BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THEY REPLACED SOME PART AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. AS I WAS DRIVING OUT THE SAME THING CANE ACROSS MY DASH AGAIN AND WENT OFF. I WENT FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CONTINUED TO COME ACROSS MY DASH. SOMETIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SOMETIMES SITTING. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN MY REMOTE START WOULDN'T WORK. ALONG WITH THOSE ISSUES MY BACK UP CAMERA WOULDN'T WORK. IT WOULD SAY CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE PLEASE CONTACT DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP NOW 1-25-17 AND HAS BEEN SINCE LAST SATURDAY. I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES AND THEY NEEDED TO KEEP UNTIL THE CODES POP UP. THE LADY ALSO TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THEIR SERVICE TECH'S TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. NO NEW NEWS FOR GETTING IT FIXED OTHER THEN THEY WILL CALL FORD TO SEE ABOUT ANOTHER ROUTE. ALSO BEFORE THIS TRUCK I HAD A 2012 F-250 LARIAT AND MY FUEL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I GOT IT TOWED TO THE FORD PLACE THERE WERE LITERALLY 3 OTHER GENTLEMAN THERE FOR THE SAME REASONS. IT COST ME 8500 DOLLARS AND 1 MONTH IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. A WEEK PRIOR TO THAT I HAD IT IN THE SHOP GETTING NEW FILTERS AND OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TOO MUCH WATER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. BUT THEY CHANGED MY FILTERS A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS. *TR
