2018 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

THE TRUCK HAS DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE IN MOTION AFTER HITTING ANY ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD THE TRUCKS STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY TIL THE OSCILLATION SUBSIDES AFTER REDUCING SPEED BELOW HIGH SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTING.

OWENED A 2002 F350 NEVER HAD STEERING ISSUES. BOUGHT 2018 F350 IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT FRONT-END SEEM TO HAVE SOMETHING OFF WITH IT. THAT CAME TO A EYE OPENING STEERING SHAKE AT 70 MPH PULLING A 40' 14K TRAILER, GOING INTO A CONNER ON INTERSTATE 84 IN OREGON THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN1500 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WITH NO CONTROL HOW I DON'T CRASH, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN INTERSTATE 15 IN AZ, INTERSTATE 40 AZ, INTERSTATE 90 WA ALL THESE WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 70 MPH PULLING A 40' TRAILER,AND OTHERS. WE'RE I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLEAN MY SHORTS!!!!! I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN 6 OR 7 TIMES FOR REPAIRS THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT IN AND SAY FRONT-END SHAKE SERVICE GUYS WOULD OH YEAH WE'D SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THIS IS AT 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS??? THEN I FIND OUT IT HAS A NAME (THE DEATH WOBBLE) WHICH FORD HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH SINCE THEY CHANGED FRONT-END DESIGN I THINK AROUND 2006. JUST GO TO YOU TUBE WATCH VIDEOS. HOW THEY LET A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SO LONG IS STUPID !!! HOW SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN KILLED DO TO THE ISSUE OR MAYBE THERE HAS ??? TO THIS DAY TRUCK ONLY HAS 19000 MILES ON IT AFRAID TO DRIVE OR WHEN I DO IT'S A BUTT PUCKER YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!! SPENT 78,000 ON A TRUCK THAT'S A DEATH MACHINE. I HAVE TRIED FOR A LEMON LAW FORD WILL NOT RESPOND. HOW THIS ISSUE HAS GONE ON SO LONG WITH OUT REMOVING THESE TRUCKS FROM THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM MAYBE WE JUST WAIT TILL ENOUGH PEOPLE DIE, AND FILE LAW SUITS, THEN FORD WILL SEE ITS CHEAPER TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THEN PAY SETTLEMENTS. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO A SERIOUS RECALL ON THESE.... THIS WILL PROBABLY GO TO MUTE EARS.

DEATH WOBBLE ALMOST CRASHED ON THE FREEWAY. DROVE OVER A BUMP ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER THEY REPLACED A STEERING DAMPER. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THERE WILL BE A FATAL CRASH IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU

TRAVELLING ON I-90 IN IDAHO ON 8/22/2020 AT ABOUT 70 MPH VEHICLE WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE IN OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT THIS VIOLENTLY. MY WIFE AND I WERE GOING ON ABOUT A 60 MI. ROUND TRIP. WE EXPERIENCED THIS 4 TIMES TOTAL. I TRIED SLOWING TO 60 MPH BUT IT STILL RE-OCCURED. ANYONE NOT AS STRONG AND EXPERIENCED COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL. PART OF OUR TRIP WAS ON SECONDARY ROADS TRAVELLING AT 60 MPH OR LESS AND DID NOT OCCUR, ONLY ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. THE CONTACT STATED HE CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL HE REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MAC HAIK FORD JACKSON (6130 I-55, JACKSON, MS 39211) AND THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH CONTAMINATED DIESEL FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED HIS INSURANCE COMPANY SENT AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

UNCOMMANDED TAIL GATE OPENING..CONTINUES TO OPEN EVEN AFTER RECALL WAS COMPLETED.. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE TAILGATE WOULD OPEN PERSONAL BELONGINGS WOULD FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. AFTER HAVING THE TAILGATE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. *JS

TAILGATE CAME OPEN ON ITS OWN YET AGAIN..TOWING A 5TH WHEEL..WAS ABLE TO SEE IT OPEN IN A SHARP TURN AND STOP..CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM ON HIGHWAY 12. SEVERAL CARS ALMOST HIT EACH OTHER...THIS IS AFTER RECALL WAS COMPLETED .*DT*JB *TR

TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES OF "DEATH WOBBLE" FROM ABOUT 30,000 MILES. AT 63,000 MILES FORD DID THE STEERING DAMPER RECALL. IT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK, SO IT SITS AT HOME. IT IS AN $80,000 VEHICLE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT GETS WOBBLY GOING ABOVE 60 MPH, AND REACTS BAD WHEN BUMPS ARE ENCOUNTERED ON THE ROAD. *TR

TAILGATE OPENED ON ITS OWN...TOWING 5TH WHEEL TRAILER...THIS IS SECOND TIME SINCE TAILGATE RECALL WAS DONE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES AFTER HITTING A GROOVED SURFACE OR A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE SHAKING TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF POWER TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. *TR
