2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

2017 PRE OWNED FORD F250 DIESEL PURCHASED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. PURCHASED TRUCK NOV 2018. EXPERIENCED 6-7 EPISODES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ONLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50-60 MPH WHEN HITTING SEMI ROUGH ROAD. IT BEGINS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY AND WON'T STOP EVEN WHEN CONTINUING ON TO SMOOTH ROAD. ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER IT STARTS IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 50 MPH (THEREBY FRONT LOADING THE SUSPENSION BY APPLYING THE BRAKES) WHICH IS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, BE AWARE THIS TRUCK IS TOTALLY STOCK FROM FORD. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS OF ANY KIND. TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT 11 MONTHS. TRUCK IS GREAT IN EVERY OTHER WAY AND DRIVES REALLY WELL IN EVERY OTHER WAY. THIS DEATH WOBBLE DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, BUT IS MORE LIKELY THE ROUGHER THE ROAD IS AT THOSE SPEEDS. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP IN AUG 2019 AND THEY REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS IN FRONT END SUSPENSION ALL FREE OF CHARGE. IT JUST DID THE DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN THIS LAST WEEKEND 10/12/19. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A 1K MILE TRIP THIS NEXT WEEK SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND TRUCK IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE ON 11/4/19. WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS DOES NEARLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. IT AT LEAST CAUSES IT TO VEER 1-2 FEET OUT OF THE LANE YOU ARE IN. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN TOWING A 5-10K POUND LOAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY LESS DANGEROUS ITEMS RECALLED ON VARIOUS VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSED. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED ONE DAY WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION ADVANCED WEAR OF FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS AND TIRES OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

SEVERE/VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ANY DEVIATION IN ROAD SURFACE (BRIDGES/ TRANSITIONS/POTHOLES). FIRST DOCUMENTED IN 2018 AROUND 20,000 MILES. FORD DEALER REPLACED STEERING COMPONENTS IN APRIL 2019 WITH 32470 MILES. WOBBLE RETURNED IN JULY OF 2019 AT 39000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 9/25/19 AND THE REPORTED NO ISSUES OR REPAIRS NEEDED. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AGAIN ON 10/15/19 WITH 42K MILES AND THE TECH WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND A 5 MINUTE TRIP IT WOBBLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT BRAKING TO 35MPH TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR OF DEATH/INJURY. FORD IS ORDERING THE SAME PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED IN APRIL 2019.

I WAS TRAVELING 65MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND WENT OVER A BRIDGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THE TRUCK DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 50MPH AND GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY.

DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN THE ROAD SURFACE TRANSITIONS OR WHEN TRUCK COMES IN CONTACT WITH A BUMP. FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. TRUCK HAS TO BE SLOWED DOWN NEARLY TO STOP BEFORE IT STOPS. MAJOR ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE ON AN INTERSTATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND PEOPLES LIVES AROUND YOU.

MY HUSBAND OWNS A 2017 FORD F250. HE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND SINCE EARLY ON IN OWNING THE VEHICLE, HE HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT I WOULD CALL A DEATH SHAKE WHEN HE HITS BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT CAUSES NECK AND BACK PAIN EACH TIME. THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL HE CAN GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAUSES EXTREME DANGER ON THE INTERSTATE AND BUSY ROADS. JUST TODAY HE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT HE COULD BARELY CONTROL IT. ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A STOP. THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADS. I KNOW THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TO THE NTHSA AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO HOLD FORD MOTOR COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS MALFUNCTION OF THEIR VEHICLE. FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IN MANY OF THEIR TRUCKS. MY HUSBAND ALSO HAS A 2008 F250 THAT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING, JUST NOT AS OFTEN. WE HAD THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE HAD TO RESCHEDULE UNTIL HIS OTHER TRUCK IS OUT OF THE SHOP. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE HOLD FORD MOTOR ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DANGEROUS TRUCKS.

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE ONLY WAY MAKE IT STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR WITH OUT CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 26000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND NO RESULTS

2017 F250 WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES. FOR 2 WEEKS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING SEVERE STEERING ISSUES AT 50-70MPH. ANYTIME A SMALL BUMP OCCURS IN THE ROAD, THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. VERY CONCERNING!

I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL COMING DOWN HIGHWAY 260 IN ARIZONA, VERY MOUNTAINOUS ROADS. CRUISING AT ABOUT 75, HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THROWING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO THE LEFT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND THE TRUCK NORMALLY DRIVES SMOOTH, THIS UNEXPECTED EVENT WILL KILL SOMEONE THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL F250S AND F350S, THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE AND YOU ARE BEING COMPLACENT NOT TREATING THIS AS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT THROW PARTS AT IT. I'VE READ THIS IS A CASTER ISSUE. TOTAL [XXX] I HAVE A 65K TRUCK I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE, BE CAREFUL PEOPLE THIS CAN KILL YOU AND ANYONE IN YOUR VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU WILL THANK GOD WHEN YOU CAN MAKE IT STOP IF YOU'RE ALIVE, I'M A TOTAL FORD GUY, BUT THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY OPINION ON MY VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK AND FORD. FORD IF ANYONE READS THIS YOU PEOPLE ARE PUKES. KNOWING THIS ISSUE AND NOT RECALLING IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY TRUCK PASSED OVER SMALL BUMP IN ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ENTER LANE NEXT TO ME. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE PASSENGERS WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ALMOST CRASHED WITH THE SEMI I HAD PASSED PRIOR TO THE BUMP. THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED ONCE MY TRUCK REACHED A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THIS HAPPENED EARLIER ON SAME TRIP, HOWEVER, I DIDN'T THINK AS MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS GOING SLOWER AND IT DIDN'T LAST AS LONG. THE 2ND TIME MADE US FEEL OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER SO WE DROVE 10MPH BELOW POSTED SPEED LIMIT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

DRIVING VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOTICED VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE A SHAKING OF SOME SORT AT ABOUT MILE 33000 AND MENTIONED TO SERVICE MANAGE THAT THEIR WAS A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END BUT HIS COMPUTER WAS DOWN TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC ON IT WHEN HE DID OIL CHANGE AT 33805 HIS SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AND HEARD IT ALSO BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE ORIGIN AT THAT TIME. DEALERSHIP COULDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON VISITS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD ENCOUNTER A BUMP IN TRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 TO 52 MPH. I 75 SOUTH AT MICANOPY FL OVERPASS. HWY 351 IN DIXIE COUNTY FL. HWY 441 AT ALACHIA NORTH BOUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW ITS 4TH TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REQUESTED AND STILL HA E A VEHICLE THAT WILL WRECK EVENTUALLY. FUE TO QUICK RESPONCE SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS THEY SEEN THE TRUCK GOING ACROSS TO THE CENTER MEDIAN THEN BACK ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH OUT VERY MUCH CONTROL BY THE DRIVER EXCEPT TO TAP THE BRAKES AND PRAY. THE TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME AT A COMFORTABLE DISTANCE WHEN I FINALLY BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO REST AT THE SHOULD OF THE ON RAMP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNFIT TO DRIVE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. A SLIGHT BUMP AT TIME IS ALL IT TAKES TO SHAKE THE FRONT END AND YOUR ENTIRE TRUCK AND BEING. I FEEL I AM VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IT WAS TOWED BY DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THEY RECOMMEND TRADING IT IN ON ANOTHER BUT I WOULD FEEL THE SAME AS THEY HAVE STATED THAT 7 PERCENT OF THEIR 250S HAVE THIS ISSUE. THAT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WOULD NOT WANT ANY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS WHAT THEY CALL YHE DEATH WOBBLE. I WILL NOT DRIVE YHIS TRUCK AGAIN AND MY FAMILY WILL NOT EITHER. THEY REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPNER 2 TIMES THEN ANOTHER PART . AND WE STILL HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY
