2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

DIESEL FUEL SPRAYING OUT CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING INSIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING WHEELS TO SLIP. STRONG ODOR INSIDE CABIN.

2017 F250 WITH 43,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE MANY TIMES. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIME TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. ALL THEY DO IS PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPER ON. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES, BUT HAPPENS AGAIN. I KEEP WASTE TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS I JUST PRAY IT'S NOT THE DAY I DIE, FOR HOW VIOLENTLY IT SHAKES THE VEHICLE. WOULD HATE FOR FORD TO HAVE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM DUE TO THE DEATH OF SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

WENT TO LEAVE WORK WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED BACKING UP MY DRIVER DOOR CAME OPEN. I STOPPED AND TRY TO SHUT IT AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH. TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET IT TO LATCH. FINALLY GOT IT TO LATCH, OR SO I THOUGHT, STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE BUSY TOWN ROAD AND WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE THE DOOR CAME OPEN AGAIN. LEAVING ME TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHEN I DRIVE UNTILL I COULD PULL OVER AND GET IT TO LATCH AGAIN. THE TRUCK HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL 'FIX' AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN IT'S COLD OUT.

WE OWN A 2017 FORD F-250 DIESEL CREW CAB 4X4, UNMODIFIED, WITH 15,094 MILES. ON A TRIP TO FRESNO CA FROM YUMA AZ, AND BACK AGAIN FEBRUARY 22ND AND 23RD 2019, I EXPERIENCE A QUICKLY ESCALATING SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION NINE SEPARATE TIMES THAT REQUIRED ME TO DANGEROUSLY SLOW DOWN FROM THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, AND MOST TIMES, TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER. MY TIRE PRESSURES WERE AS RECOMMENDED AND VERIFIED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AS WERE THEIR RECENT BALANCE, TOE, CAMBER, AND ALIGNMENT. I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WHEN THE F-250 VIN# [XXX] HAD JUST UNDER 9,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ADVISED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL TO CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE, AND BALANCE. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED I HAVE THEM ADJUST MY ?TOE? IN SLIGHTLY MORE THAN NORMALLY RECOMMENDED. THIS THEY SAID WOULD CAUSE MY TIRES TO WEAR SLIGHTLY FASTER, BUT WOULD COMBAT THE ?WOBBLE? THAT SOMETIMES PLAGUES THEIR UNITS. I FOUND THAT ONCE THE TRUCK HAD AT LEAST ONE SIDE OFF THE FIRM CONTACT OF THE PAVED, OR CEMENT ROADWAY, AND ON THE LOOSE GRAVEL, OR DIRT, THAT QUICKLY ELIMINATED THE OSCILLATION. THE PROBLEM IS THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NOT ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE WHEN THIS ATTACK HAPPENS BECAUSE OF OTHER VEHICLES, OR THERE JUST IS NO ROAD SHOULDER AT ALL. ONCE THE VIBRATION STARTS WHICH IS ALWAYS INITIATED BY ENCOUNTERING A JOLTING BLEMISH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A FEW OTHER IMPERFECTIONS. LIKE A ROAD JOINT, CRACKS, REPAIR PATCH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY OTHER IMPERFECTIONS LIKE REPETITIVE CRACKS OR POT HOLES. IT CAUSES THE TWO FRONT TIRES TO COUNTER ACT EACH OTHER IN AN ESCALATING SEVERE OSCILLATION. THIS HAPPENS, AND WILL REACH ITS CRESCENDOS WITHIN A QUICK COUPLE OF SECONDS. AKIN TO A SURPRISE SUCKER PUNCH THIS MAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES AN OUT OF CONTROL BACK AND FORTH SHUDDERING COMBATANT. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

"DEATH WOBBLE" STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED. HELP!

DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL STARTS WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE VEERED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID VEERING. VERY DANGEROUS AND LUCKY THEIR WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 28000 MILES ON IT.

EXPERIENCED A "DEATH WOBBLE" 2 TIMES. NOTIFIED FORD AND THRY SAID 'OH YEAH YOU EXPERIENCED A DEATH WOBBLE. ASKED IF THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY STATED ONLY IF OUR TRUCK IS UNDER 36,000 MILES. OURS HAS 50,000. THE TRUCK IS AT FORD TO BE FIXED WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1800.00. WE BOUGHT OUT TRUCK MAY OF 2017.....FORD WOULD'VE KNOWN BY THEN THAT THERE WAS THIS PROBLEM, YET SOLD TO US....KNOWINGLY THAT "A DEATH WOBBLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIBRATION...." "THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE" WHY IS IT ALRIGHT TO KNOWINGLY SELL US SOMETHING THAT IS DANGEROUS?? WHY ARE WE HAVING TO INCUR THIS COST? WHY IS THERE NO REAL RECALL FOR THIS? PLEASE HELP. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST.

I HAVE A FORD F-250 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 12,495. MILES ON IT. WE ENTERED HWY 53 NORTH BOUND IN WI AND ACCELERATED UP TO SPEED 65 MPH . THEN WENT OVER A CRACK IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCKED STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.WHAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR BEHIND ME SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING TO COME OFF THE TRUCK.TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER PER TSB 18-2268. PT # HC3Z-3E651-F DAMPER ASSY.BIG QUSTION IS WHY DIDN'T THEY REPLACE THE TRACK BAR,AND TIE ROD ENDS AT THE SAME TIME. WITH THAT MUCH SHAKING GOING ON I AM SURE IT SHORTENED THE LIFE OF THOSE PARTS.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT OVER 45 MPH MY 2017 FORD F250 GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. I KNOW FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB #18-2268 WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ON MY 3RD TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE PARTS INCLUDED IN THE TSB EXCEPT FOR A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY NEEDED TO TRY THESE OTHER STEPS FIRST. AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER TODAY I STILL EXPERIENCE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. DIDNT GO INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY BUT SUSPECT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE VIBRATION STILL THERE.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSING A 'DEATH WOBBLE' ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 45MPH OR SLOWER FOR IT TO SUBSIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE.
