2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY RIGHT TO LEFT. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT MASSAGE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, THE LUMBAR AND SEAT PORTION WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND FOR A SHORTER DURATION THAN TWENTY MINUTES (2017 FORD F250 PLATINUM). THE VEHICLE WIPER BLADE RATE OF ACTION RANDOMLY INCREASES AND DECREASES ON IT'S OWN. I WAS TOLD TODAY BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN REDDING, CALIFORNIA THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SEAT MASSAGE PROBLEM, BUT THAT FORD WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY $800.00 FOR THIS REPAIR. IF FORD IS AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE SEATS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND KNOW HOW TO CORRECT IT, WHY AM I BEING CHARGED TO CORRECT IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FIVE CAMERAS ON THE VEHICLE WERE FOGGY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE IMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER KEN GRODY FORD #1 ORANGE COUNTY FORD (6211 BEACH BLVD, BUENA PARK, CA 90621, (714) 521-3110) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAMERAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 45 - 65 MPH THE FRONT END WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT WOULD HAPPEN ON A STRAIGHTAWAY AND CURVES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON OR ABOUT FEB. 24, 2018 ON I-80 BETWEEN SALT LAKE CITY AND ELKO, NV. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 7,500 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT SCARES THE HOLY CRUD OUT OF ALL PASSENGERS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD IS HAVING.

DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE SOUTHBOUND ON THE ILLINOIS TOLL ROAD HIT A POT HOLE AND HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO BELOW 50 TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE .

AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. ALMOST SHOOK THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN LESS THAN 2 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED- 70 MPH.

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 80 WESTBOUND GOING ONTO THE BRIDGE IN JOLIET TRUCK STARTED DEATH WOBBLE AFTER CROSSING FROM THE RAMP TO THE DECK. OSCILITION DID NOT STOP TILL I DROPPED BELOW 55 MPH .

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP. THAT BUMP CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SUSPENSION GO INTO WHAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." IT SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 25 MPH. DURING THAT TIME THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND I DID NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF TURNING TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING THAT COULD CAUSE SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MUST BE CORRECTED AND FORD MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I CROSSED A BRIDGE WITH A NORMAL JOINT IN THE ROADWAY, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKING FROM THE FRONT END. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO JAR LEFT AND RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS BEGINNING TO DRIFT LANES. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND MOVE THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. ONCE I DEACCELERATED TO AROUND 15 MPH, THE SHAKING SUBSIDED. THE VEHICLE IS "STOCK" WITH NO MODIFICATIONS.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD BETWEEN 60MPH AND 75 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGINS TO EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY SHAKE; ALMOST FEELING LIKE THE WHEELS ARE QUICKLY JUMPING OFF THE GROUND BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROX 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 48,500 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BOUGHT TO FORD EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM, THE REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I DROVE 1 MILD DOWN THE ROAD AND BROUGHT IT RIGHT BACK TELLING THEM THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME 3 MORE PARTS THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE, BASICALLY TELLING ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW BUT WERE GOING TO DO SOME EXPLORING JUST REPLACING PARTS AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF TRUCK KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT POSES A THREAT TO MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND ME ON THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND GETS WORSE THE MORE TIME THAT GOES BY!!
