I OWN A 2005 FORD F350, THIS TRUCK STARTS TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE WHEN YOU GO OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, IT IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE AVOIDED A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS BY DRIVING OFF THE ROAD WHICH IS NOT MUCH FUN. AFTER THE SHAKING STARTS YOU HAVE TO GET THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT CAUSING A CRASH. I LIVE IN SNOW COUNTRY AND TRY TO SLOW A TRUCK DOWN ON SNOW PACKED ROADS AND NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK LOOKED AT AND I'VE REPLACED PARTS AND TIRES TRYING TO GET IT TO GO AWAY, BUT NOTHING HELPS. THEY JUST TELL ME TO LIVE WITH IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN AND WILL BE DONE. WELL I WOULD HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THESE TRUCKS ARE DRIVING THEM AND THEY CAN SEE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. THERE ARE TO MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE TRUCKS TO NOT LOOK INTO THESE CLAIMS. I'LL GLADLY LET YOU ALL DRIVE WITH ME AND CHECK OUT THE CLAIMS AND SEE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER. AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND NO BETTER SERVICE, I GIVE UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 FORD F350 4 WDR, SUPER DUTY WITH V10, 4 SP. AUTO, VIN NO. [XXX]. I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN VEHICLE ACCELERATION, IE. FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITH VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND FOOT ON BRAKE THE VEHICLE, LUNGED FORWARD, HEAVY BRAKING WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE IT ONLY CAUSED ACCELERATION. ONLY IMPACT WITH MAIL BOX AND SNOW BANK STOPPED VEHICLE. I COMPARED WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED WITH PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME AND THIS WAS DIFFERENT AND DID NOT RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.

TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED BETWEEN 35 AND ABOUT 65 SO FAR AND HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH UNTIL COMING TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN THE SHAKING WILL CEASE. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL DURING THIS AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. ENTIRE TRUCK WILL SHAKE SO BAD YOU CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT. JUST TOOK IT TO LES SCHWAB FOR ALIGNMENT THINKING IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND CHECKED ALL TIRE PRESSURES TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE CORRECT. LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER, SAME ISSUE AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IN THE MONTH THAT I'VE OWNED THE 2005 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL CREW CAB LONG BOX. *TR

DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS IN THE SNOW, COMING DOWNHILL AT APPROXIMATELY 5% GRADE WHEN THE THROTTLE BECAME NON-RESPONSIVE. VERY SOON AFTER THE TRUCK DIED COMPLETELY-NO POWER STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES IN SNOWY CONDITIONS. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT WASN'T ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 6" OFF THE FOG LINE DUE TO THE SNOW. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR BECAUSE ROADWAY CONDITIONS WERE NOT GOOD AND THE SITUATION COULD HAVE HAD DRASTIC CONSEQUENCES. I WAS ALSO VERY LUCKY THAT MY WIFE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND ME AND WE WERE ABLE TO 1) GET CELL PHONE SERVICE ON THE PASS AND 2) WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. WE ENDED UP WAITING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 2 HRS IN THE DARK WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK WITH MY WIFE AND THREE DAUGHTERS AND NO FOOD. FINALLY GOT THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A SUNDAY AND WAITED FOR THEM TO OPEN TODAY. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FICM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL (05V270000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WIRING) EVEN THOUGH THE DESCRIPTION MATCHES WHAT HAPPENED TO ME EXACTLY! I HAVE THE WRONG VIN # SO I AM NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! LOSING POWER AT 60 MPH IN A CREW CAB LONG BOX DIESEL PICKUP IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! NOT TO MENTION THAT SOME OF OUR PERSONAL PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET ALL OF IT INTO OUR EXPLORER. FORD NEEDS TO COME TO THE PLATE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! *TR
