2012 FORD F-350 Complaints

I was driving on the pa turnpike going 65 miles a hour and with a second the pull over safely light came on I was able to slow down and the truck died. We were able to get ourselves to safety by pushing the truck. Hours later the truck started up and we were able to get it home, The tow truck never showed up. Put truck in shop they didn't see that problem at first, we are again driving truck this time on a major highway not a toll road and same thing happened again it cooled down we were able to get it home, and back on our way to drop off to mechanic it happens again let it cool off for a hour and we were able to drop it off, They ran diagonstic test and it says two of the four are bad so right away I start looking for recalls and I see one for the issue So I looked up to see if there was anybody else with this issue and it seems to be the 2 of the exhaust sensors but unfortunatly the recall for the problem expired before we bought the truck and extended coverage is only within 120,000 miles or 11 years. Now ford doesn't see how this is a safety issue so they will not pay for it but if you look at the recalls for this year of truck it says that ambulances with this motor are covered under recall because why if they they have a patient and this happens they can be sued. Now my question is what about if this happen and my child was in the car thats ok because they are my children. This is a safety hazard for my husband and anyone else on the road with him as well as other veichles being if he had no place to stop safely the truck would die in the middle of the road causing accident. Now we didn't own the truck when the recall expired and had we had owned we would have got the recall fixed. Something needs to be done a recall extended or reimpurment for the cost. This is a safety problem luckily no body was hurt this time. Now i have to have this issue fixed costing alot of money out of pocket because it is dangerous and I need my truck.

CP4 high pressure fuel pump catastrophic failure. My fuel pump grenades and I lost all power on a busy road. I was able to use momentum after the loss of power to safely exit the roadway. I had no warning lamps prior to failure my vehicle will not start now and is currently at a shop being investigated.

“Death Wobble” vehicle shakes uncontrollably when hitting bumps/grooves in pavement or going at speeds above 50 mph putting driver at extreme risks. Repaired steering dampener, shocks, and tires, but nothing has offered a solution to the issue.

My truck shakes violently at 40-45 mph. It has difficult to diagnose the exact component to replace. I took the truck to a independent repair service and they told me it was the death wobble. They did drive the vehicle and confirmed the shaking. It will cause me to pay over 1000.00 dollars to fix. Not to mention the tires that have been ruined because of it. No police or anyone else has inspeced it. No warniing lamps or messages present.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving at 55-60 MPH on cruise control, the vehicle hit a bump and started shuddering uncontrollably, causing the steering wheel to shudder as well. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that as he was losing control of the vehicle, he depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle stopped shuddering. The contact veered to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The contact stated that the vehicle was not yet diagnosed; however, the dealer replaced the steering bar. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving at 50-65 MPH, and sometimes at slower speeds. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

On 10/29/2021 when driving I had the death wobble happen at 65 mph. Steer was shaking violently causing me to hit the ditch with no damage to my truck but really scared my wife and I. I am going to have most if not all the front end parts replaced at approximate cost of $2500.00. This is a Ford problem that they should pay for.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the contact experienced the death wobble after driving over a bump on a bridge. The contact pulled the vehicle off to the shoulder and coasted the vehicle until the rattling stopped and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The dealer and the manufacturer were both notified of the failure and neither offered any assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 223,000

I believe this is now the 3rd occurrence for me within the last two weeks of what has been termed by other owners as the "death wobble". Two incidents have occurred on "bumpy" roads, though one was just a bumpy interstate. The interstate, while a bumpy, I wouldn't imagine would have been bumpy enough to constitute a poor road condition, travel conditions were pulling about 12,000 lb 5th wheel camper and I was going probably between 55-60mph. The next two occurrences happened truck only. The second occurrence, was a back road and probably the "bumpiest" road of them all, probably going 45-50 mph, so not so bumpy that I had to be going super slow. The third occurrence was on a smooth road and I did hit a "bump" which probably wasn't much more than a crack in the road traveling at probably 50-60 mph. I experienced the wobble. Each time, it has been scarier than the last and it required me to slow down significantly, while I dont know the exact amount, many people describing under 20 mph feels about right, however, the 3rd occurrence required a complete stop before the shaking int he steering wheel was gone. I have completed a number of checks, tire tread is still good, the balance feels appropriate at highway speeds. I think my biggest concern here, is that this is a common issue and there appears to be no common reasons or even a short list of probably causes based on my doling around the internet. I am sure I am about to spend several thousand for mechanics to attempt solutions, but I believe it's worth adding my name to the list of this issue.

Death wobble. At 30 mph & 70 mph. Jerked steering wheel from my hands & pulled us off the road onto grass on road side. Full brakes & skidded to a stop.

While traveling down the road at approximately 72 mph my vehicle front end began to shake unbelievably. It felt like all four tires had gone flat. I could not control the vehicle until the speed got down to around 40 mph.
