2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE THE VEHICLE/STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND I STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL AS TIGHT AS I COULD AND BRAKE AND IT FINALLY CAME UNDER CONTROL. I LITERALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE, THAT WAS THE SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!! I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN, NOR WILL I LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL, JERKING BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT A FEW INCHES. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY ANY DRIVER INPUT. IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. ANY SMALL BUMPS(RAILROADS TRACKS, POTHOLE, ETC) MAY START OR EXACERBATE THE SHAKING, BUT HITTING ANYTHING SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS AFORE MENTIONED DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE SHAKING WILL OR WILL NOT OCCUR. USUALLY THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WILL RECEDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND SPEED IS REDUCED.

ISSUES WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON 3 OCCASIONS. ONE ACCELERATING AT 45-50 MPH AND HIT A SMALL POT HOLE. OTHER TWO TIMES WERE DRIVING 70-75 AND HIT A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED FROM LOSS OF CONTROL BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. ALL 4 TIMES THIS WOBBLE HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY.

I'VE HAD TO HAD MY SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED 3 TIMES DUE TO SEVERE STEERING SHAKE WHEN DRIVING IN A HIGHWAY SITUATION. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT AT TIMES I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT.

VERY SCARY DEATH WOBBLE.AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 65 MPH I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO FORD WITH NO HELP. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE BAD. WHICH WAS VERY STRANGE BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THEM. SO I REPLACED THEM AT THE DEALER WITH FACTORY ORIGINALS. NO FIX NO HELP FROM FORD
