2011 FORD F-350 Complaints

DEATH WOBBLE,HAS BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. SAID IT WAS THE TIRES CUPPING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES NEW TIRES DID NOT HELP, THEY ALIGNED IT AND SAID THEY ROTATED TIRES. NOW IT IS BACK, 40,600 MILES, JUST AS BAD A EVER. THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO REPAIR AS THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL. GUESS IT WILL TAKE A FEW DEATHS TO GET SOME HELP OR A HIGH NAMED POLITICAL/SPORT/RICH FIGURE, FOR ANY HELP. YES FOR US TO SPEND $1500 BUCKS THERE MAY BE SOME RELIEF. WHY SHOULD WE NEED TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW HOW TO REPAIR. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM ASSOCIATED TO THE 1967/68 FORD BRONCO. WE HAD ONE AT THE ALBERTVILLE DEALER WHEN AS A YOUNG MAN ALMOST LOST MY LIFE DRIVING IT AS I WENT ACROSS THE MEDIAN AND 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN I WORKED THERE IN SERVICE. SPEED 45 TO 70 MPH ON ANY ROAD SURFACE AT ANY TIME IT WANTS TO ACT UP, ONLY WAY TO STOP IS SLOW DOWN SEVERAL TIMES TILL IS STOPS HOPE IT WILL NOT COME BACK. THIS IS VERRRRRY IN-NERVING WHEN PULLING OUR 2014 REDWOOD 42' RV WITH A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 24,600 POUNDS. HOW MANY KIDS< CHILDREN<ADULTS CAN I KILL SHOULD THIS CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR BOX TO BUST, AS IT DID ON THE BRONCO??

WHILE DRIVING THE F350, WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION. HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR OVER THE PAST MONTH (4TIMES). THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART. WAIT ANYWHERE FROM 2MINUTES TO 20 MINUTES THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. APPEARS TO BE THE ERG SYSTEM. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN!!!!! ACCORDING TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

WE WERE TRAVELING ON US23 IN WISE VIRGINIA, DOWN A MOUNTAIN. A SIGNAL AT THE BOTTOM TURNED RED; WHEN MY HUSBAND APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED TOTAL FAILURE. THERE WAS NO ADVANCE INDICATION FROM THE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. WITH NO ENGINE POWER, MY HUSBAND HAD NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. DUE TO DRIVER SKILL AND LUCK, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT FREEDOM FORD IN WISE, AND THEIR TECHNICIAN SAYS THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE WATER IN THE FUEL, AND THE FUEL SYSTEM IS CONTAMINATED AND NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THIS INDICATES TO- VARIOUS OUTSIDE MECHANICS- THAT THE WATER AND FUEL SEPARATOR WASN'T WORKING; THUS ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO BECOME OVERWHELMED. THIS SUGGESTS FAULTY PARTS- A FAULTY SEPARATOR-WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY. HOWEVER, FORD IS CLAIMING THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE IS WHAT CAUSED THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE TURNING SLIGHTLY LEFT AND HITTING ANY MODERATE BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK SHIMMYS VIOLENTLY AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO UNDER 20 MPH. WHILE THE SHIMMY IS OCCURRING STEERING CONTROL BECOMES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN UN-DAMPENED OSCILLATION OR SEVERE VIBRATION OF THE FRONT WHEELS. NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE IS. I'VE HAD THE FRONT END LOOKED AT AND BEEN TOLD EVERYTHING LOOKS TIGHT AND THE TIRE PRESSURE IS EVEN AND CORRECT. I HAVE ALSO PERSONALLY LIFTED THE TRUCK AND INSPECTED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND DO NOT SEE OBVIOUS PLAY IN ANY OF THE BALL JOINTS, TIE-ROD ENDS, SWAY BAR ETC. THE TRUCK ALSO HAS HAD NEW SHOCKS WITHIN THE PAST 200 MILES AND THAT DID NOT HELP. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE AND IS REPEATABLE GIVEN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. I HAD PURCHASED THIS TRUCK APRIL 2016 AND DURING THE TEST DRIVE I COMPLAINED OF A VIBRATION. THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOOK NEARLY A MONTH TO FIGURE OUT A CAUSE. WHAT THE DID HELPED, BUT THE VIBRATION NEVER TRULY WENT AWAY. THIS SLIGHT STEADY VIBRATION SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE SEVER VIBRATION BECAUSE IT IS OF EXACTLY THE SAME FREQUENCY AND SPEEDS, JUST UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE TRUCK IS VERY CONTROLLABLE.

I WAS PASSING A TRANSPORT TRUCK AND JUST AS I GOT EVEN WITH THE DOOR OF THE TRUCK MY FORD F350 SUPER DUTY MOTOR QUIT, JUST SHUT DOWN. A BUS WAS COMING IN MY LANE AS I WAS PASSING, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN TO LET ME BY BUT I HAD NO POWER, NO POWER BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. THE BUS SLOWED DOWN AND I BRAKED ENOUGH TO GET IN BACK OF THE TRUCK AND OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE BUS WENT ON BY AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED ON HIS WAY AND I TRIED TO START MY TRUCK. IT FIRED UP AND WE DROVE TO A TRACTOR SUPPLY AND BOUGHT SOME DIESEL OIL AND WHEN WE CHECKED THE OIL TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WAS DOWN WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND IT WAS FULL. WE DROVE 200 MILES HOME AND DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO CODES ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN IN THE TRUCK. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET BUT WILL TO SEE IF THEIR EQUIPMENT WILL SHOW A REASON.

VEHICLE WOBBLES/VIBRATES "DEATH WOBBLE" AT HIGH SPEED OR WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON FREEWAY, ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO REDUCE VEHICLE SPEED TO UNDER 30 MPH, VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35K MILES, I HAVE HEARD OF MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE OCCURRING AROUND 30K MILES ON FORDS, DODGE (A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WAS STARTED IN 2014) & JEEP (CONGRESS HAS ALREADY REQUESTED A RECALL). I AM ASKING THAT THIS ISSUE IS LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY. THANK YOU *TR

CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC TR M+S LT275/70R18 125/122S LOAD RANGE E TIRES. TIRE SPLIT ACROSS TREAD APPROX. 10 INCHES WHILE DRIVING, NOT UNDER LOAD AND NOT TOWING. TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 11,000 MILES ON THEM.

TRUCK GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING 60MPH OR FASTER. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO OVER A BRIDGE, CATTLE GUARD OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. CAUSE THE CEHICLE TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND YOU HAVE TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE HAD FORD WORK ON IT AND NOTHING HAS CURED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
