2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

2017 F-250 CURRENTLY HAS 19,000 MILES. 100 PERCENT STOCK VEHICLE. HAS SEVERE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEELS OF THE TRUCK ON CONCRETE ROADS AT 60 MPH. HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN PULLING A HORSE TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES AT THE TIME. ALMOST CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. WAS THE MOST VIOLENT SHAKING I HAVE EVER FELT IN A VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO BARELY GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM. THAT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREAK INCIDENT BUT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON. CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET. HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WHILE NOT PULLING ANYTHING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60MPH AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON HIGHWAYS OR INTERSTATES.

AFTER HITTING CERTAIN TYPES OF BUMPS, POTHOLES ETC, I EXPERIENCE WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE", VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS IS HAPPENING IN INCREASING FREQUENCY.

WELL TRAVELLING AT 65MPH I WENT OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT AND GOT WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. THE TRUCK IS 100% STOCK WITH 24K MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TWO DAYS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65MPH. WHEN I DROVE OVER AN OVERPASS. AT 65 MPH I WENT OVER THE EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES. AFTER SLOWING DOWN WE RETURNED TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ONLY TO HIT SOME POTHOLES TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WHERE WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM A SECOND TIME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM, AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, ON THE SAME HIGHWAY IN THE SAME SPOT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. HOWEVER ON 03/07/2019 MY WIFE TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN APPOINTMENT, AND ONCE AGAIN ON THE SAME HIGHWAY IN THE SAME PLACE AT 70MPH IT HAPPENED A FOURTH TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT OUR TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED, BALANCED , AND ARE NOT EVEN DOWN TO THE TREADWEAR INDICATORS.

IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, DRIVING 55-60MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HITS A BRIDGE APPROACH.IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE, FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AT 17,000 MILES, STARTED DOING IT AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES, WENT BACK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE CASTOR SHIMS THE FRONT END, NOW IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AT 30,500 MILES. I HAD TO BRAKE TO GET SPEED DOWN TO 30 MPH FOR IT TO STOP, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

WITH NO NOTICE THE TRUCK CUT OFF AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT RESTART. BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION THE POLICE ORDERED A TOW TO MOVE IT QUICKLY. LATER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOWED IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD BUT THEY REQUIRED MORE THROUGH WORK TO QUOTE IT ALL. IT ENDED UP THE WHOLE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE FUEL INJECTORS. FORD CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WATER CONTAMENATED FUEL HOWEVER MY INSURANCE SENT A SAMPLE PULLED FROM THE TRUCK AND FOUND ONLY METALS CONSISTENT WITH THE MATERIAL FOUND IN THE FUEL SYSTEM BUT NO WATER. MY INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWED RECALLS FOR THIS TRUCK WERE ISSUED FOR A MISSING STRAP ON THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOT FOR MY VIN WHICH WAS PRODUCED IN THE KENTUCKY PLANT. WHEN I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AS THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER. THE TRUCK SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER. I WAS BILLED $9,493.49 BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED WATER CONTAINATION IN THE FUEL WHICH WAS NOT PRESENT. I HAD THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE CHECK THE LAST PLACED I PURCHASED FUEL AND IT WAS ALSO FINE AS WAS THE FUEL THE INSURANCE COMPANY PULLED FROM THE TRUCK. FORD OWES THE CONSUMER A RECALL AND REINBURSEMENT FOR THE CHANGES! THIS HAPPENED TO BE THE 2ND FUEL SYSTEM THIS TRUCK HAS RECEIVED. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I AM UNABLE TO LOAD THE SERVICE RECORD DETAILS DUE TO FILE SIZE. I WILL SEND THEM IF YOU WILL ALLOW IT.

THE VEHICLE HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. IT HAS ALMOST KILLED ME TWICE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/4JV7L8BBO1Q THE LINK IS A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS TO STEERING WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY LIFE

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A NEWER TOLL ROAD ABOUT 70 MPH I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK BEGAN BOUNCING AND MY STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE HEADING TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED.

2017 F250 FIRST DEATH WOBBLE AT 40,000 MILES, NOW 53,000 MILES AND EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE DAILY. DAILY DRIVER, PRAY TO GOD FORD CORRECTS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES! VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED DEATH WOBBLE FORCES YOU TO SLOW TO BELOW 40 MPH TO STOP, NOW YOU HAVE BECOME A ROLLING ROAD BLOCK TO BE REAR ENDED.

AT FREEWAY SPEEDS 70-75 MPH, AN EXTREME WOBBLE AND SHAKING TOOK PLACE AFTER RUNNING OVER A LITTLE ROUGH PAVEMENT. TRUCK HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH FOR SHAKING TO STOP. SOME POSTS ON THE INTERNET HAVE CALLED THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON I 90 FREEWAY IN RECENT TRIP FROM TACOMA TO SPOKANE. DEALER IS CHECKING OUT THE TRUCK. SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT STEERING CONTROL IS LIMITED. PROBLEM FIRST EXPERIENCED 3-3-19. TRUCK HAS 40,000 MILES.
