2019 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

ON 10/6/2020 THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE AS THE EMPLOYEE WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FRONT FENDER AREA AND LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE, ON 01/24/2021 THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE AS THE EMPLOYEE WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FENDER, RUNNING BOARD, AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE

WHILE DRIVING AT REGULATED HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL DEVELOP A VIOLENT, UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHEN ANY "NORMAL" ROADWAY BUMP OR HOLE IS STRUCK. THE TRUCK LUNGES VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL. RAPID DECELERATION IS REQUIRED BY REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR & GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED MUST BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN AN ESTIMATED 20MPH AND SOMETIMES STOPPED BEFORE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPS. INTERSTATE TRAVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE AS MOST ROADWAY IMPERFECTIONS CAN CAUSE THIS VIOLENT SHAKING WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION AND MERELY REPLACED A FRONT STEERING STABILIZER WHICH ONLY REDUCED THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. FORD TECHNICIANS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AND ONLY CITE THAT THEY WILL ONCE AGAIN REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS ARE SEEING SERIOUS PREMATURE WEAR/DAMAGE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE FATALITIES...AND MOST LIKELY HAS IF PROPERLY INVESTIGATED DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS APTLY NAMED "DEATH WOBBLE" THIS PROBLEM HAS NOW CONTINUALLY OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS ON A NEW F250 WHICH HAS 18,XXX MILES. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH ONLY 13,XXX MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND SENDS CUSTOMERS BACK ONTO ROADS WITH A VEHICLE WHICH IS UNCONTROLLABLE IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS... AND WILL RESULT IN LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2020 & CONTINUES TO DATE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT A SPEED OF 50MPH AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR FROM 55 -70MPH

WHILE USING MY VEHICLE TO PLOW, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SUDDENLY WENT BLANK, I COULD SYNC MY PHONE, THE CLOCK AND DATE NOW APPEARED WITH WITH DIFFERENT DATE/TIME. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT I HAVE TO INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE PLOW PACKAGE OPTION WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. I ASKED WHY THIS COST SHOWED BE PAID BY ME, I WAS TOLD TO EXPLORE A BATTERY REBATE.

REAR & FRONT CAMERAS ARE VERY CLOUDY CAN'T SEE WHAT'S BEHIND ME , CAN'T EVEN SEE A TRAILER TONGUE. VERY SMOKEY

WHEN AT SPEEDS OVER 55 AND HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. HAPPENS WORSE WHEN TOWING A TRAILER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCE THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN I DROVE OVER A SMALL BUMP, WHICH CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2019 FORD F250. I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS BEING CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON A RECENT TRIP WITH MY TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 78 MPH , I HIT A RAISED SECTION OF A CULVERT CROSSING WHICH CAUSED MY STEERING TO BECOME UNSTABLE. THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL MADE THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL AND CAUSED US TO HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND CABLE BARRIER. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, AND THE BARRIER RUNS ABOUT 3 FEET FROM THE ROADWAY. I HAVE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE GOING DOWN A ROAD AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY I HAD A REAL HARD TIME MAINTAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SO BAD THERE WAS CARS BEHIND ME AND ALL I COULD DO WAS SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A NEW VEHICLE COULD HAVE SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM MY TRUCK IS A 2019 F250 WITH 17,000 MILES NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN, WHAT IF MY KIDS WERE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND THIS CAUSED US TO BE IN A ACCIDENT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, I CALLED FORD AND MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT IN THREE WEEKS... SO WHAT I'M THE MEAN TIME AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND PRAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING (WOBBLE) UNCONTROLLABLY. IT ONLY RESOLVES WHEN SLOWED BELOW 20 MPH.

ON 01-09-21, TRAVELING NORTH ON I -75 IN KENTUCKY AT APPROXIMATELY 75-80 MPH. TRAVELED OVER A SECTION OF ROAD THAT WAS ROUGH AND UNEVEN. VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, CAUSING UNCONTROLLED TRAVEL INTO THE LEFT HIGH SPEED LANE. ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND HAD TO ENTER THE EMERGENCY LANE AND STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. HAD TO EXIT VEHICLE AND CHECK FOR POSSIBLE CAUSE AND NONE FOUND. CONTINUED NORTH ON I-75 FOR SEVERAL MILES AND AGAIN TRAVELED OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND HAD TO ENTER THE RIGHT SIDE EMERGENCY LANE AND SLOW VEHICLE TO A STOP BEFORE CONTROL WAS GAINED.
