2018 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

WITH ONLY 39470 MILES I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT APPROX 60 MIKE PER HOUR THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY....I HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO 25 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. THERE WAS A TRUCK IN BACK OF ME AND HE HAD TO SWERVE TO GO AROUND ME. I DID BRING IT RIGHT TO MY DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER PER BULLETIN 20N04. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS JUST A TEMP REPAIR AND THAT THIS WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN.

VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMPS STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHAKING BACK AND FORTH HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE SHAKING

UNCOMMANDED TAILGATE OPENING. TAILGATE FELL DOWN GOING ABOUT 30MPH IN DOWNTOWN PORT TOWNSEND, WA. ..PORTABLE GENERATOR AND CABLE FELL IN FRONT OF SEVERAL CARS..TEMPORARILY SHUTTING DOWN BOTH LANES. THE NEXT DAY THE TAILGATE WOULD NOT RESPOND UNTIL THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS RESET. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING, HAD TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT (ALMOST REAR ENDED). AFTER SLOWING DOWN STEERING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE SECTION OF FREEWAY IS BRAND NEW CONCRETE. THE VIOLENT SHAKING HAS HAPPENED FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 TO 80 MPH ON A DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROAD SURFACES. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A SMALL BUMP (LIKE GOING OVER AN OVERPASS WHEN ROAD SURFACE CHANGES). THIS SCARES THE HOLY CRAP OUT OF YOU HOPING YOU CAN CONTROL THE TRUCK WITHOUT BEING HIT, DUE TO THE SUDDEN SLOW DOWN YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL.

I HAD THE TAILGATE RECALL COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, I WAS STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE TAILGATE FALLING WHILE DRIVING. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO FORD AGAIN TO REPORT THE ISSUE. THE FORD DEALER WORKED ON THE VEHICLE FOR 2-3 DAYS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME AGAIN STATING IT HAD BEEN FIXED. THE RECALL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE TAILGATE OPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, CITY STREET OR WHILE TURNING.

WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75MPH TOWING A 7,000LB TRAILER, WENT ACROSS AN OVERPASS THAT HAD SOME BUMPS AT THE TRANSITION BACK TO THE REGULAR ROADWAY (NORMAL ROAD BUMPS, NOT BIG AT ALL). AFTER HITTING THE BUMPS, MY TRUCKS FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY AND CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO THE LEFT LANE UNCONTROLLABLY WHICH CAUSED AN 18 WHEELER TO HAVE TO MOVE LEFT AND ALMOST LEAVE THE PAYMENT TO AVOID ME HITTING HIM. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT A "DEATH WOBBLE" AND MY CLOSE IN COUNTER OF ALMOST BEING KILLED OR KILLING THE 18 WHEELER DRIVER, I DECIDED I HAD TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, ADDRESSED, AND FIXED BY FORD. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THIS EVENTUALLY WILL KILL SOMEONE, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3MPH ON A FLAT SANDY ROAD, REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. NO ROCKS OR ANYTHING ELSE HIT THE WINDOW. ALSO, WINDOW IS PROTECTED AS I HAVE A TOPPER ON MY TRUCK.

I CONSTANTLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES GOING FLAT BECAUSE OF LEAKING VALVE STEMS I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ABOUT 6 TIMES IN 18000 MILES THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THE VALVE STEMS BECAUSE OF CORROSION AND THEY CLAIMED THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM

I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND HIT A SEPARATION ON THE ROAD CROSSING A BRIDGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO A STOP IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. MY TRUCK HAS 23,000 + MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT FOR ALL RECALLS. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK ON THIS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON IDAHO HIGHWAY 48 AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. WHEN I HIT A PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, NOT A POT HOLE, JUST UNEVEN SURFACE, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY AND SHOOK ME OFF THE ROAD. I WAS TOTALLY UNABLE TO CONTROL IT AND ALMOST WENT INTO A CANAL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE IN THIS CONDITION.
