2017 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

On dual rear wheel setup. Galvanic corrosion between metal valve stem and aluminum wheel caused air to leak out resulting in an unsafe condition where unequal tire pressures between the inner tire and outer tire caused unpredictable situation under normal driving condition and would have multiplied under towing condition where added weight on tire would have decreased my response time in the event of a tire failure.

Hitting the smallest bump in the road at highway seed causes the steering wheel to shake violently. The vehicle is uncontrollable at this point. One has to slow down considerably to regain control. This situation is very dangerous. From what I understand this is a very common problem with this model. Milage does not seem to be a factor.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-350. The contact stated while his son was driving 65 MPH and going over a bridge, the driver noticed that the steering wheel had started to shake abnormally causing the vehicle to also shake abnormally. The brake pedal was depressed, and the failure ceased when the vehicle was stopped. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who diagnosed the failure as a dampening valve system for the power steering assist that was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

I have experienced multiple issues with my wheels valve stems leaking. I have gotten a couple stems replaced and the problem persists. I am adding air to my tires nearly everyday. I have read a lot of threads online with owners of the same year, make, and model are having the same problems. This is a safety concern because my family and I use this vehicle for travel and I cannot be having flat tires or be stranded because my tires won’t hold air. This truck has been to the dealer multiple times for this. Ron Tirapelli Ford Shorewood IL. The vehicle was also purchased there. I receive warning lights for low tire pressure regularly.

Tailgate continues to open on its own primarily while driving on unmaintained dirt roads. Recently this happened while out hunting and had some cargo fall out of my truck. Fortunately, another hunter saw what happened, grabbed our gear and caught up to us to return it.

Released parking brake, placed vehicle in drive and began to move forward, after moving roughly 30ft, the rear tires locked up and the vehicle skid to a stop. Repeated attempts to move the vehicle forward or backwards were unsuccessful. Lifted the rear of the vehicle, removed the rear tires and rotors and found all the parking brake pads completely delaminated (separated) from the shoes (on both sides of the vehicle). 3 out of the 4 linings were also broke. Components are available for inspection. Luckily this occurred in my driveway at slow speeds. Not confirmed by dealer, could not move the vehicle out of my driveway, removed rotors myself. No other individuals have inspected the vehicle. There were no warnings from the vehicle systems.

Driving on highway at 65 slight bump in road & steering wheel went crazy violent vibrating in front end. Had to reduce speed to 20 to get it to stop shaking. Continued down road same thing happened. Shaking is uncontrollable almost crashed. Vehicle can be inspected it does it if I hit a bump or go over 65. No warning lights.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while hauling various materials at various speeds, the tire pressure warning light would illuminate the instrument panel. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to the dealer where they discovered that the valve stems on each of the outside tires had caused air to leak out of the tires. The contact had several valve stems replaced on multiple occasions; however, the failure had persisted. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure on separate occasions and two cases were filed with the manufacturer. All of the valve stems were initially replaced under warranty but since the warranty had expired, the manufacturer refused to offer assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

The VIN is from my tow vehicle, your system wouldn't take the VIN of my Fifth Wheel RV (4YDF37329J4700954) which the tire that failed is installed on. The tire in question was purchased in April of 2021 and had approximately 500 miles on it when the tread separated from the tire and became wrapped around the axle of the RV. The tire is a Sailun S637 ST235/80R16.

Backup camera intermittently does not switch off when shifting into drive and moving forward, leaving a display that shows the road running backwards as you drive forwards, from there it may randomly turn bright blue, become pixelated - very distracting. Only way I've found to get it back to normal is to turn the vehicle completely off, and restart it. Yes it can be inspected, however it does happens intermittently, I can make and produce a video clip if necessary. No it hasn't been been inspected by anybody other than myself or my passengers. No there are not any warning lamps/messages/etc...
