2016 FORD F-350 SD- Livingston, TX
I'm told by the MEN..."DEATH WOBBLE"!! 2016 Ford 350 Platinum At a certain speed and with a bump in the road, FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE GOING TO GO FLYING OFF!! I had to get myself together fast, slow down, and get a better control of the steering! Oh man, the accident it could have caused being next to semis and the every day people driving their vehicles!! This could of caused a BAD accident on the interstate and with the road work going on in Amarillo, Texas! This scared the heck out of my daughter!! This puts EVERYONE at risk!! Oh, and we pull a fifth wheel RV!! The dealer I went to first wasn't very helpful, matter fact...I have NOT been told or not noted on my oil change/vehicle sheet that anything was wrong. This past week, I took it to another Ford Dealership.....well, everything associated with the "Death Wobble" needs to be replaced!! I've maintained and took the advice of Ford Dealerships, when I was told needed a new radiator, I paid for Ford to put one in. It's not fair that the Ford 2016 and prior doesn't get fixed free of charge or recalled and the 2017 and the above does for the Death Wobble. It's already bad enough that Ford's Death Wobble information was withheld from me as well as having a bad radiator when purchasing the truck! It's HORRIBLE that Ford KNOWS about the issue and lets it happen.....puts EVERYONE at risk around the Ford death wobble!!

hitting even a small bump at 55 to 60 mph causes the truck to violently shake until you slow to 20 mph or stop

2016 FORD F-350 SD- Eloy, AZ
Front end shimmy few times installed new tires it seemed to help. Shimmy came back rebalanced wheels didnt happen for a while. Rotated tires and added new ones in rear. Drove for awhile seemed ok. 2 weeks ago we were driving about 50 mph had a shimmy but turned into violent shaking and truck was headingbinto oncoming traffic. My wife was screaming and ducking down. When it stopped and I steered it back to our lane. I had front end checked last year and before this incendent everything checked out good except stabilizer was dried out. It was replaced. The mechanic there informed us abpit fords problem with death wobble. Took to dealer for fix after finding letter they said steering damper replacement would fix it. It did not. Ford wanted to replace, track bar,some ball joints and bushings and another allignment. But could not state if it would fix the problem.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-350. The contact stated that the front end of the vehicle would rumble and shake while driving at various speeds without warning. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, there was a blowout of the passenger’s side front tire which caused damage to the passenger’s side front quarter panel and step rail.

2016 FORD F-350 SD- Magna, UT
ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 I WAS DRIVING MY F350 2016 ON THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEED 75MPH I WENT OVER SOME ROUGH ROAD AND MY TRUCK STARTED TO VIIOLENTLY SHAKE WITH OUT ANY WARNING. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE SO I PROCEEDED TO STEER IT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE FEARING FOR MY LIFE NOT WANTING TO HIT THE CONCRETE BARRIER. I TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK EXPECTING TO FIND TIRES MISSPLACED. I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY INTO THE SLOW LANE AND WENT HOME SLOWLY. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPT FOR THE NEXT DAY. AFTER LOOKING AT MY TRUCK THEY CALLED ME WITH A $2200 ESTIMATE! MY TRUCK IS A 2016 F350 AND ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, THIS KIND OF FEAR SHOULDN'T BE EXPERIENCED WHEN I LOVE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I AM SURE THIS WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON ME WHEN I GET IT BACK, PTSD. NOT A HAPPY FORD DRIVER

2016 FORD F-350 SD- Stephentown, NY
I am a handicapped 65 yr. old male. I purchased this vehicle in 2019 used from a FORD dealer. Marchese Ford, Lebanon, NY. Pretty much since I have owned this vehicle, The back up camera has been working intermittingly. Sometimes it will work but lately, It is just lines and distorted objects. Or, will not come on at all. As I cannot work, I can't afford the money to diagnose the problem. I do know that it is not the camera as my son tried the camera on his friends truck and it worked properly. Now I see a recall for over 600,00 vehicles and am hoping to include my truck as I need this camera to back up as I cannot turn completely to see me surroundings due to illness/injuries.

2016 FORD F-350 SD- Henderson, NV
The Diesel Exhaust Fluid system is faulty. I have been informed that GMC and Chevy have recalled the system but Ford has not. I have complained to Ford with no response. My neighbor has 4 work trucks that have all needed replacing (so has mine). I have 2 friends who also have Fords, one was covered under the factory warranty and the other was not. My mechanic states it is a known issue.

My truck is diesel and has the DEF installed. I have spoken with several diesel truck owners and with the exception of a couple of individuals everyone has had system DEF failures. I contacted Ford inquiring why it hadn't been recalled as GMC and Chevrolet apparently has. Was informed that not enough vehicles required repair.
