2012 FORD F-350 Complaints

DEF ISSUES, FIRST WAS NOT FEEDING DEF, FORD REGEN'D THE SYSTEM, PROBLEM FIXED. 2 MONTHS LATER, SAME ISSUE, NOW DEF CONTROLLER CODE FAULT. NO COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 65-75 MPH, AND I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, MAYBE AT A BRIDGE OR ROUGH PATCH, THE TRUCK GOES INTO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING MOTION, WHERE I HAVE TO HOLD ON VERY TIGHT TO THE WHEEL AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE PULL UP NEXT TO ME POINTING AT MY FRONT WHEELS THINKING MY LUGS ARE LOOSE OR SOMETHING. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GATHERING MY SENSES, BECAUSE THIS IS TERRIFYING, I AM ABLE TO ACCELERATE WITH CAUTION AS TO NOT GO MORE THAN 55 MPH. THANK GOD EVERYONE AROUND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS PAYING ATTENTION TO MY VEHICLE, BUT IF I EVER LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL WHEN THIS SHAKING HAPPENS, SOMEONE CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD TRUCK IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS WITH FORD AND THEY CONTINUE TO DENY THIS IS A PROBLEM. THEY SAID ALIGNMENT ISSUES AND TIRE BALANCING. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY ALIGNED MY TRUCK, AND ENSURED TIRES WERE BALANCED, IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I TOLD THEM BEFORE THEY RETURN IT TO ME, TO PLEASE TAKE IT OUT ON THE FREEWAY AND POSSIBLE TRY TO FIND SOME ROUGH ROAD TO SEE HOW IT HANDLES. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE DONE THIS, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. MY TRUCK HAS 44K MILES ON IT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. I WILL ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND MY LOCAL STREETS BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE. THERE ARE LAW SUITS PENDING WITH FORD FOR THIS VERY ISSUE THAT I SPEAK OF. THE CONSUMERS CALLS IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE". FOR SOME REASON, NO ONE AT FORD, AT LEAST AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE DEAL WITH SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT IN THEIR STEERING SUSPENSION, THAT WILL IF IT HASN'T ALREADY, HURT SOMEONE BADLY OR WORST, IT COULD KILL THEM.

DEF SYSTEM/ENGINE CLEANING ISSUE. MESSAGE CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS ON DASH "DRIVE TO CLEAN ENGINE" REGARDLESS OF DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 30+ MIN AT A TIME.

EGT SENSOR FAULTY. UPON IGNITION, READS TEMPERATURE ABOVE BASELINE, CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO REMAIN ON.

DEATH WOBBLE!!!!!! WILL ALMOST SHAKE YOU OFF THE ROAD VERY DANGEROUS. GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. HIT A BUMP IT WILL START GOING ABOUT 60-70 MPH

HAVE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE WOBBLE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 - 60 MPH SEVERAL TIMES ON A FREEWAY AND AGAIN ON TWO LANE HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BEGINS WOBBLING SEVERELY AND HAVE TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE WOBBLE CAN TAKE YOU OUT OF YOUR LANE OF TRAFFIC AND YOU NEED TO SLOW QUICKLY TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.

THIS TRUCK WHILE DRIVING DOWNTOWN THE INTERSTATE AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE DID A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND NEARLY CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR AND WRECK. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND ALSO FAMILY OWNED SHOPS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOBODY CAN FIX IT.

AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING SHOOK VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF LOOSING CONTROL. IT WOULD ONLY STOP BY SLOWING TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THIS HAD TO BE DONE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 50 - 60MPH TOWING MY 12,000 LB 5TH WHEEL TRAILER, OFTEN IF I DRIVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, MY 2012 FORD F350 WILL START TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE FROM THE FRONT STEERING. I HAVE HAD PARTS REPLACED, ALIGNMENT DONE, NEW TIRES, NEW SHOCKS, BUT NOTHING STOPS THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T TOW MY TRAILER ANYMORE. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN NOT TOWING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS TO BE SAFE. THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION. FORD SEEMS TO IGNORE IT. PLEASE HELP

WHEN ABOVE 50 MPH, IF I HAPPEN TO HIT A BUMP OR BUMPY SPOT IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES SO AGGRESSIVELY THAT IT WANTS TO PULL YOU INTO THE OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK LITERALLY FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO VIBRATE INTO PIECES. SCARES THE HECK OUT OF ME. 105K MILES. FACTORY SIZED OEM TIRES. SECOND SET OF TIRES ON THE TRUCK. 80 PSI. I REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER ON THE TRUCK WITH A NEW ONE FROM FORD DEALER. STILL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY.
