2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

THE TRUCK HAS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING ON THESE TRUCKS, 'THE DEATH WOBBLE' AFTER TONS OF RESEARCH. THIS SHOULD 100% BE A RECALL! THE TRUCK BEGINS TO WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AT THE END OF MAY AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT

DIESEL LEAKING FROM FRONT RIGHT. FOUND DIESEL FUEL POOLED UNDER TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY WHILE IT WAS PARKED.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY TRUCK 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS.. THIS IS A VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATIONS. AS THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY TRUCK WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE TRUCK AND WILL NOT ALLOW MY SON IN THE TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP MORE THAN 15 TIMES TRYING TO REPAIR WITH NO FIX, LAST TIME SPENT MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AT THE DEALER FOR THEM TO NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND FIXED AS I AM 1 OF MANY PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE! THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH, HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE 4 OF THE 6 TIMES AND 2 TIMES WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.. LAST TIME WAS PULLING A 9,000LB TRAVEL TRAILER WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK NEXT TO SEMI THAT ALMOST CAUSE ME TO COMPLETELY LOSE CONTROL!

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU HIT A POT HOLE OR OTHER ROUGH BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK DEVELOPS A SEVERE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END UNTIL YOU CAN GET SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40MPH. I AM CURRENTLY ON THE FOURTH ATTEMPT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT SHOWS ON DASH DISPLAY SINCE AUGUST 10 2020 TOOK TO FORD TRUCK DEALER SOMERSET PA TRISTAR ON AUGUST 11, TOLD BUSY BRING IN AUGUST 12 AUGUST 12 TOLD 3 OF 4 SENSORS ARE BAD, THEY NEEDED PARTS SINCE COMPLAINED TO FORD CASE CAS 27520533 STILL NOT FIXED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 6 2020 TRUCK IS TWO YEARS OLD AND THIRTEEN THOUSAND MILES, BOUGHT BRAND NEW THIRTY SIX MONTH BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY

2017 F-250 DEATH WOBBLE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 40K WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60-65 MPH I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD WHICH WAS ABOUT 1.5 INCHES DEEP. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE TRUCK WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 45 MPH BEFORE THE DEATH WOBBLE WOULD STOP. MY TRUCK IS TOTALLY STOCK WITH STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS, AND FORD DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY! THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THEM STEP UP AND FIX THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION WHICH CAN LEAD TO POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. AS OF MAY 2020 FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER. I JUST TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THIS REPAIR AND THEY'RE TELLING ME I NEED TO REPLACE SOME BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS AT MY COST. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS THAT ARE FAILING ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE, BUT FORD WILL NOT COVER THESE COSTS. AGAIN THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME WITH THESE TRUCKS. WHAT OTHER VEHICLE WEARS OUT BALL JOINTS AND BUSHING THAT FAST?

I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. LATELY, FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK SHAKE HARD ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY LOOSE GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I GOT NOTIFICATION OF A POSSIBLE STEERING LINKAGE AND SUSPENSION ISSUE. I DROVE IT AFTERWARDS AND IT SEEMED BETTER. WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING IF NOT WORSE. IT IS CURRENTLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT HAS NOT COST ME ANYTHING, YET. IT HAPPENS ON BOTH HIGHWAY, CITY AND BACK ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE IT CATCHES YOU UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER WHILE EVEN TRAVELING ON RELATIVELY SMOOTH ROADS.

WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN, IN FORD SUPER DUTY'S. THIS AFTER FORD REPLACED A PART AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AFTER THE NEW PART WAS INSTALLED AS RECOMMENDED PER FORD THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ATTACHED IS COPY OF WORK DONE WHEN THE ISSUES FIRST HAPPENED AND THE PART THEY INSTALLED.

DEATH WOBBLE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING ON ROUGH ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WAITIG FOR BACK ORDERED PART FORD DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER AS FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM 2/21/2020 30241 MILES. PROBLEM BACK IN AUGUST 2020 38817 MILES.

MY 2017 FORD F250 HAS DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL TO THE DEGREE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN HOLD ONTO THE WHEEL.
