2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

AT 60 MILES AN HR WHEN YOU CROSS A BRIDGE CONNECTION THE FRONT END SHAKES AND WOBBLES VIOLENTLY. IT LITERALLY TAKES CONTROL IF THE STEERING. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. CALLED SEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON ISSUE EVEN NAMED IT DEATH WOBBLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM! I ALMOST CRASHED.

THE BLOCK HEATER ELECTRICAL IS CORROEDING APART FORD SENT OUT A NOTICE 6 MONTHS AGO AND NO FIX FOR IT THIS CSN CAUSE FIRE TO THE VEHICLE

TRUCK IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ON 5/13, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE WHEN BRAKING EVER SO SLIGHTLY ABOVE 45 MILES AN HOUR. EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND CHANGE LANES WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AN HOUR IN ORDER TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP PAUL CLARK FORD IN YULEE FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTOR HAD A HOTSPOT ON IT. WAS TOLD THE ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. I HAD TO COME BACK FOR A LOANER VEHICLE ON 5/14. YESTERDAY 5/14, I WAS DRIVING APPROX 55 MPH ON A PAVED HIGHWAY WHEN I WENT OVER AN OVERPASS. AFTER DOING SO, THE WOBBEL STARTED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, I WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD AS THE SHAKING CAUSED THE TRUCK TO CHANGE LANES. GAIN, I HELD THE STEERING WHEL WITH BOTH HANDS TRYING TO SOMEWHAT CONTROL THE VEHICLE I SLOWED DOWN. WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS APROX 30 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I PROCEEDED SLOWLY TO MY DEALER TO TRUN THE TRUCK IN FOR THE NSPECTION AND FIX. THE SERVICE ADVISORS AND MASTER TECHNICIAN STATED THAT I WAS DEFINATELY THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIX IT BUT IT WAS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE FORD HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULETIN (TSB-18-2268) REGARDING THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MORE OF THE RECALL ISSUE THEN A SPORADIC ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE.

I CROSSED AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 60MPH AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN OSCILLATING AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. DID NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN UNDER 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY WITH DIFFERENT AREAS OF HIGHWAY. WAS BROUGHT TO AUTO NATION FORD IN CANTON OHIO ON MARCH 20 AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED UNDER BULLETIN TSB 18-2268. THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED UNTIL WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ON MAY 12 MY TRUCK DID THE EXACT SAME THING. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT AUTO NATION FORD PENDING REPAIR.

TRUCK IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE WHEN BRAKING EVER SO SLIGHTLY ABOVE 45 MILES AN HOUR. EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND CHANGE LANES WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AN HOUR IN ORDER TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE, TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP PAUL CLARK FORD IN YOUR FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTOR HAD A HOTSPOT ON IT. WAS TOLD THE ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE SAME EXACT YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MORE OF THE RECALL ISSUE THEN A SPORADIC ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE DRIVING, IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO HIT THE CENTER MEDIAN CONCRETE WALL. THEN MAYBE 150 MILES LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. EACH TIME LOSING CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. SO ON OUR WAY BACK HOME. I DECIDED TO DRIVE MORE THAN 10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS DOING 55 AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED TODAY ONLY, THIS IS HAPPENEING A LOT AND MANY PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT AT RISK. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED TO FORD AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF GIVING THEIR CUSTOMERS THE RUN AROUND.

TAILGATE OPENED (ON ITS' OWN) WHILE DRIVING AND TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER ON HIGHWAY DURING RAIN. TAILGATE WAS DAMAGED AND CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT OF CAMPER. CONTENTS IN TRUCK BED WERE LOST WHILE TRAVELING (ON HIGHWAY).

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I DROVE OVER A BRIDGE AT 65 MPH, TRUCK STARTED A MASSIVE VIBRATION IN FRONT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE EFFECTIVELY

AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING WILDLY. I STOPPED AND CHECKED FOR DAMAGE AND THERE WAS NONE. TOOK IT TO MY FORD'S DEALER AND THEY DESCRIBED IT AS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. I RECENTLY WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND A ROUGH SECTION OF ROAD CAUSED IT TO BEGIN THE DEATH WOBBLE. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND EXAMINED IT AGAIN. STARTED DRIVING AND THE WILD VIBRATION STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER TO FIX.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65MPH TO 75MPH IF THE VEHICLE HITS A ROUGH BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE UP AND DOWN PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS. THIS CAUSES A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO 25MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY ON A HIGHWAY TRIP FROM CHICAGO TO DENVER GOING 70MPH ON I-76 WESTBOUND, MAY 9,2019. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF FORD DOES NOT FIX THIS ASAP. I HAVE DASH CAM VIDEO OF THIS BUT THE FILE IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD.
