EXHAUST FILTER CLEANING WHEN THAT WARNING COMES ON MY TRUCKS ENGINE IS REALLY ROUGH AND SHAKES. THIS IS WHEN DRIVING TO CLEAR THE EXHAUST FILTER.

DEATH WOBBLE MANY TIMES. VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. NOT COOL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON WAY TO BOSTON (65 MPH). TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEM SINCE 45,000 MILES AND NOW HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. DEALER HAS ONLY MADE "SUGGESTIONS" ON WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT PROBLEM. WORRIED I WILL BE KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

ALREADY MADE COMPLAINT ON THIS SAME [XXX] ISSUE AND IT DONE IT YESTERDAY 6 OR 7 TIMES. TURN THE WHEEL AND WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO TRY AND KEEP CONTROL OF THE TRUCK! IT FEELS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE AND AS FAST AS IT HAPPENS IT COMES IT STOPS DOING IT. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STEERING WHEEL WILL RANDOMLY STICK WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE FLAT TIRE AND YOU HAVE TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK THE OPPOSITE WAY AND THEN YOU CAN'T CONTROL THAT. JUST HAD FRONT END REBUILT AT TRI-STATE FORD IN MARYVILLE MISSOURI WHERE WE PURCHASED IT NEW AND DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. DONE IT 3 TIMES YESTERDAY APRIL 19 2018 ALMOST CAUSING US THE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT A STOP SIGN TURNING LEFT IT STUCK CAUSING US TO VEER INTO OPPOSING LANE IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. FOUGHT TO CORRECT THIS AND THEN IT CAUSED US TO SHOOT BACK RIGHT ONTO THE SHOULDER. WE SPENT ALMOST $1,200 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AND OF COURSE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY 😡

TRUCK IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND RECENTLY SERVICED AT FORD DEALERSHIP. AFTER RECENT SERVICE THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS CHECKED BOTH LARGE FACTORY INSTALLED BATTERIES HAD CATASTROPHIC FAILURE LEADING TO BATTERY ACID CORROSION DESTROYING WIRING, POTENTIAL THE THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRONICS THAT WERE EXPOSED TO BATTERY ACID AND CORROSION. THERE IS TREMENDOUS DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND A LARGE CHEMICAL SPILL FROM THE ACID. DEALERSHIP QUOTED OVER $1800 IN DAMAGES. TRUCK WAS A FIRE AND CHEMICAL HAZARD BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS HIDDEN BY A FACTORY COVER, A HUGE COPPER CABLE WAS FREE TO ARC AND COULD HAVE IGNITED THE BATTERY OR CAUSED A DANGEROUS ELECTICAL FIRE.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS VEHICLE BEGINS TO BOUNCE. THE BOUNCE IS CLEARLY COMING FROM REAR END OF VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH INTO THE ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND OTHER YEAR HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND IS SOLVED BY A DAMPER ATTACHED TO THE TRAILER HITCH.

WHILE MAKING TURNS YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL BACK STRAIGHT AS IT LOCKS UP IN CITY DRIVING. WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT TRUCK NEW THAT WE NEEDED TRACK BAR BUSHING AND BALL JOINTS. DRAG LINK BAR. TIE ROD END REPLACEMENT BOTH OUTER TIE RODS. THIS HAS BEEN AND ISSUE FOR SEVERAL OF OUR FRIENDS ALSO BUT THEY CAUGHT THERE'S UNDER WARRANTY.
