2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

VEHICLE ENTERS INTO "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN HITTING UNEVEN PAVEMENT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE, EVEN IF THE PAVEMENT IS SMOOTH, IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 30MPH.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 65 MPH I PASSED OVER A ROUGH PIECE OF ASPHALT AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHIMMY THEN IMMEDIATELY SEVERELY SHAKE AND SHUDDER. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND TRIED TO STEER TO THE SHOULDER STEERING WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE SHAKING CONTINUED TILL THE TRUCK STOPPED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING AND UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT BY FAR THE WORST. ALL 3 TIMES THE TRUCK WAS DRIVING NORMALLY AT 60 OR 65 MPH TILL IT HIT A MINOR BUMP OR ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD.

HAVE AN ON GOING PROBLEM, RIGHT REAR DOOR WHEN BELOW FREEZING WILL NOT LATCH. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS FOR UPDATES, REPAIRS, ETC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG INS THAT RIDE BACK THERE. FORD NEED TO COME UP WITH ACTUAL SOLUTION AND NOT JUST POUR ETHONAL/WINDSHEILD WASHER ON COMPONENTS FOR A BANDAID FIX. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE VISITS TO DEALER.

TRAVELING AT AROUND 70MPH ON I 65 SOUTH IN ALABAMA AT 341 MILE MARKER WHEN A GAP IN THE ROAD CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO VIBRATE BADLY TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT STOPPED. I ACCELERATED BACK TO 70MPH AND LESS THAN A MILE LATER HIT A BUMP AND IT STARTED THE SAME VIBRATION AGAIN. IT DID THIS ONE MORE TIME AGAIN BEFORE I EXITED AT THE 334 EXIT. IT IS VERY A VERY SCARY EVENT. I AM AFRAID TO KEEP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A FRONT END SHOP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT HAD HEARD COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THERE WAS A TECH BULLETIN TO COVER THIS BUT SINCE MY TRUCK HAS 46K MILES IT WAS NOT COVERED.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HITTING BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS OR ROUGH ROADS CREATE DEATH WOBBLE OF THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY LOSS OF CONTROL DEALER HAS TRUCK FOR REPAIRS HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE VERY DANGEROUS MUST APPLY BRAKES IMMEDIATELY TO REGAIN CONTROL

AT 22000 MILES MY 2017 F250 FX4 ALL STOCK HAS HAD DEATH WOBBLE 5 TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRINGING TO DEALER NEXT WEEK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH OVER A BRIDGE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE THE PREVIOUS WEEK. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH SALEM FORD (60 S BROADWAY , SALEM, NH 03079) FOR DECEMBER 9, 2019 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

EXPERIENCING DEATH WOBBLE IN FRONT SUSPENSION OF TRUCK WHEN HITTING ANY BUMPS, GROOVES ETC IN HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT SPEEDS OF 65 TO 75 MILES PER HOUR. HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO STOP EXTREME WOBBLE IN FRONT END. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS 2 TIMES AND THEY DISCOUNT ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WHILE ON FREEWAY 11/16/19, 11/28/19 AND 12/6/19

TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE 10 IN AZ. ENCOUNTERED UNEVEN ROAD. TRAVELING AT 65 MPH PULLING A 30' AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER. THE TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING. I COULD HARDLY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I APPILED THE BRAKE AS TRUCKS WERE SWERVING TO GET AROUND ME AT 75 MPH. I HAD MY WIFE PUT ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AS I COULD NOT LET GO OF THE WHEEL. I COULD NOT STEER OR MOVE TO THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD. TRUCK WAS LITERALLY "HOPPING" AS I TRIED TO SLOW WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. SHAKING FINALLY SUBSIDED WHEN MY TRUCK REACHED 20 MPH. I LITERALLY WAS CLOSE TO STOPPED ON A 75 MPH ROADWAY! I INCREASED MT SPEED AGAIN TO ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE SHAKING STARTED AGAIN. I HAD TO ALMOST STOP AGAIN. MY WIFE AND I WERE VISIBLY SHAKING. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND CALLED A FORD DEALER. FORD DEALER REPLACED FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK. FORD IS BACK-ORDERED ON THEIR SHOCK FOR MONTHS. WONDER WHY? WE REPLACED IT WITH A THIRD PARTY SHOCK. THE SUSPENSION WAS CHECKED AND THE DEALER SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. TWO DAYS LATTER WE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKING AGAIN! WE ARE NOW STUCK IN PALM SPRINGS WAITING FOR A DEALER TO OPEN ON MONDAY. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. THEY SAID THEY WILL CALL THE DEALER AND ME ON MONDAY TO GET THEIR TRUCK DIVISION INVOLVED. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK PULLING A TRAILER WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I FEAR DRIVING THIS IN THE MOUNTAIN WITH ROADS THAT CURVE. WHEN THIS SHAKING OCCURS, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING BUT GO STRAIGHT.

THE TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OF 60-75 MPH. THE VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL NOT GO AWAY UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO 35 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYMORE.THIS IS THE DEATH WOBBLE MANY HAVE TALKED ABOUT. MY TRUCK IS ALL STOCK AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 15000 MILES.
