2018 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

AT SPEEDS FROM 60 TO 75 MPH IF THE TRUCK HITS ANY KINDA ROUGH ROAD OR BUMPS IT WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY (DEATH WOBBLE) ALMOST GETTING ME INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND MY WIFE ONCE. THE LATEST INCIDENT BEING THIS MORNING 12/12/2019, AFTER I JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP (BLAKE UTTER FORD) SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP BLAKE UTTER FORD IN DENISON TEXAS. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK THERE 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK THIS MORNING. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE

WHEN HITTING BUMPS AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OF 65-75 MPH, THE TRUCK STEERING/TIRES/SUSPENSION GOES INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE, "DEATH WOBBLE" HAVING TO SLOW DOWN TO ROUGHLY 25-30MPH TO GET THE TRUCK TO COME OUT OF THE WOBBLE. THIS PROBLEM CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION!!!!! THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND CAUSE ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE WHEEL AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AND COME TO A STOP TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW.

ON 7 OCCASIONS MY 2018 F250 HAS HAD SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE. AS LOW AS 40MPH UP TO 75 MPH IT HAS ONLY 32000 MILES WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED IT HAS BEEN TO THE FORD DEALER 4X FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE DONE THEIR SO CALLED REPAIRS AND IT STILL DOES IT

THIS WAS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IM GETTING WORRIED ABOUT THIS ISSUE LETS GET THIS ISSUE FIXED PLEASE. WHILE DRIVING PULLING A 18' TRAILER THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE CRAZY AFTER GOING OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD WE WAS TRAVELING AT 73-75 MPH HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 TO RECOVER AND SMOOTH OUT. JUST GLAD THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS OR TRUCK ON THE ROAD OR ELSE THIS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY VERY BAD CASE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45 MPH TO 70 MPH, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT DOWN TO BELOW 35 MPH. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, AND SOMETIMES AN EXPANSION JOINT. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED TSB 18-2268. THE PROBLEM RESUMED AT APPX. 12,000 MILES.RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR. THEY SAY THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED.

I'VE HIT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY 2018 F-250 AT 30,000 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 70-75MPH. IT STOPPED AFTER AGGRESSIVELY BRAKING AND SLOWING TO ABOUT 30MPH. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR BUT I'M NOT CONFIDENT IT WILL BE RESOLVED AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCES.

WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN NORTH ON I-25 NEAR THE E-470 EXCHANGE DOING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75MPH, WE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND HIT AN 18 WHEELER IN THE ADJACENT LANE. I WAS FORCED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AGGRESSIVELY TO TRY AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED TO INSPECT THE FRONT END. I COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES, RIMS, NOR THE FRONT AXEL. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME SONG AND DANCE THAT I SEE REPORTED FREQUENTLY ONLINE REGARDING THIS DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCE AND THE DEALERSHIP'S INVOLVEMENT, OR LACK THERE OF, IN DEALING WITH PROVIDING A RESOLUTION.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A SATURDAY NIGHT 10/19 ON A FARM TO MARKER ROAD, AS WE WENT OVER A RAILROAD TRACK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WARNING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" SHOWED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. THE TRUCK WAS STILL DRIVE-ABLE AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME WITH NO REAL ISSUES, ONLY WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER. FAST FORWARD TO THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY 10/22 WHEN WE WERE GOING TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND IT WAS SHOWING "LOW FUEL PRESSURE". THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. WHILE IN THEIR CARE I WAS TOLD MY LPFP (LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP) WAS NOT WORKING AND IT WAS REPLACED. ONCE THEY REPLACED IT, THEY STATED THE HPFP (HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP) WARNING CAME ON. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THEY STATED THE HPFP HAD RUST/METAL FRAGMENTS ON THE VALVE AND IN MY FUEL LINE. NOW FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT WAS DUE TO ME HAVING CONTAMINATED FUEL. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RUST INSIDE MY FUEL TANK SO WHERE DID THE RUST COME FROM? UPON RESEARCHING I DISCOVERED THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM DUE TO FUEL PUMPS THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AMERICAN DIESEL FUEL. EVERYTHING THAT IS MENTIONED IN THIS LAWSUIT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. I BELIEVE THEY ARE STILL INSTALLING THE INCOMPATIBLE FUEL PUMPS THEREFORE CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO SHOVEL OUT $8,000 - $20,000 IN UNCOVERED REPAIR EXPENSES. MY TRUCK IS A 2018 F-250 SUPER DUTY, 4X4 LARIAT AND HAD RUFFLY 19K MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD IT EXACTLY 1 YEAR WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. IT IS NOW 12/2/19 AND MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE 10/23/19 BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN AND STILL AM FIGHTING WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT COVERING THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE.
