2016 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

the emergency brake pads came off of the steel brake backing causing my rear tire to lock up. 1 of the 4 pads came off, broke and locked up the tire. After the repair I checked the other pads and noticed all 4 pads are coming off of the bonded steel emergency brakes. This is a very dangerous situation for anyone who experiences this situation while driving down the road.

My truck started severely shaking after reaching speeds of 50mph when driving over bumps in the road. Our mechanic replaced many front end suspension parts and it is still doing it. I have almost crashed numerous times. I have videos of this happening and almost crashing. This is NOT OK!

vehicle was taken to Seaside Auto Repair, Satellite Beach FL to be looked at for problems it was having on the 24th of March. On 3/31/22 the using federal agency rec'd call to pick up vehicle at the shop as they could not figure out the problem and how to fix it. The agency picked up vehicle from shop. Agency started vehicle and drove to the Pest Mgmt Shop at Patrick AFB, As the vehicle crossed the main gate, the driver heard a strange noise coming from the driver side of the hood near the side mirror, sound got faster. As he approached Anvil Ave, all power to the vehicle went down leaving him with only brake and steering control. At the same time the driver saw flames spew from the driver side panel of the hood. He pulled over, exited vehicle and contacted base fire dept.

The 2016 model does not include a cabin air filter. It put me and my kids at risk. It puts the elderly, people with immune issues, kids, etc., at risk. I developed severe asthma at 37 years old and a non smoker. Over the past 4 years, driving the 2016 Ford 350, it came with unexplainable upper respiratory infections. I'm now on 2 types of inhalers. I spoke to Ford and they did not care that the 2016 model does not have a cabin filter. (If this was not a problem, then why does the models after 2016 come with one??) All I was hoping, is that Ford would add a cabin air filter to my truck. I'm not asking the company to pay the doctor bills or give me back 4 years of breathing. I'm just asking for the company to apply a piece of equipment to my truck that would help me breath and not directly take in all stuff coming in my truck. I literally smell everything. Everything comes through: Vehicle exhaust from other vehicles Chemicals in air Pollution while driving in cities (dallas) Pollen Dust Clay/dirt Smoke...fires burning...cigerate... Just driving on the interstate, other vehicle exhaust comes in. I turn ac off. (It gets hot inTexas) This sets off asthma attacks. Even if parked and someone has their truck running...the exhaust comes in. I'm considering talking to a lawyer about about this, since Ford will not consider my complaint and willing help me. However, I care about others. No kid should be inhaling exhaust or anything that can cause issues with the lungs. I wish Ford would do what's right and fix the 2016 models. After being in and out of doctor's offices, I was diagnosed with severe asthma on 12/27/2021.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-350 SD. The contact stated that while driving at speeds exceeding 60 MPH, the vehicle would suddenly experience severe front-end vibration and shaking nearly causing the driver to lose control of the steering wheel. The failure had occurred on multiple occasions after driving over a bump in the road. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who installed torsion bars to the suspension however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

I was driving on the freeway and all of the sudden the front end started shaking violently like I hit washboard ruts on a dirt road at 70 mph. I have come to know this as the death wobble. Fortunately it was not very busy at the time this happened and I was able to get to the section between the onramp and the freeway. I am glad I was not pulling my trailer, it would probably caused an accident.

Purchased truck new/no wrecks/no modifications from factory stock/ approx 113k miles/proper tire inflation Sat Feb 5th driving approximately 70 miles per hour in heavy traffic /good weather on interstate near Indianapolis the truck began violently shaking on the front end transferred up through steering wheel. The interstate was 3 lanes wide with heavy traffic in all lanes. Miraculously I was able to get pulled into left median without causing an accident. Vehicle was out of control. Waited several minutes for a break in traffic pulled back out and slowly went to next exit to examine for damage causing this. Cursory Visual inspection showed no broken parts Ford evidently knows of this “death wobble” and has done nothing to notify or repair 2016 Super Duty Models. My unsafe truck is home parked in my garage.

When I hit a bump at speeds over 45 miles per hour the front end starts to shake so bad that I'm losing control of my vehicle, hitting the guard rail and have to hit the brakes immediately. Called the death wobble. I have replaced the shocks, the steering stabilizer and balanced the wheels and it still shakes very bad.

I have started experiencing the known “death wobble”. I have 68585 miles on truck.

I was driving through a construction area on interstate 95 and hit uneven pavement and the front of the vehicle starting shaking violently. It took everything I had to hold the steering wheel the shaking was so violent it rendered the brakes almost useless. Fortunately no one was next to me in the next lane because I could not control the vehicle and I had to ride the shaking out in both lanes until my speed came down do approximately 40 mph, Everything smoothed out and the vehicle began to operate normally. I knew I experienced the Ford Death Wobble because It has happened to many of my friends vehicles already and has been a topic of discussion amongst many of us which is why I brought it to the dealership immediately. If you google "Ford death Wobble" thousands of people are experiencing the same problem and they have a Facebook page dedicated to it. I brought it to the dealership and they verified the play in the front end and replaced the steering track ball joint. My friends who had this done have had the problem return so it is a temporary fix for a potentially very dangerous situation. I spoke with the mechanic and he said he does 5 of these a week. The repair cost me about $700 for a defective part or design by Ford.
