30k miles on truck and have had persisting issues with a shaking front end / steering wheel while driving at speed. What many folks refer to as “death wobble”. Dealer has replaced drag link and steering stabilizer and I replaced tires prematurely out of my own pocket, none of which have solved the issue. Ford needs to figure this out. I’ve owned 2 other superduty trucks and they have all had it to some extent. Issue causes uncontrolled shaking in steering wheel of varying intensities. Extremely dangerous when it’s happened to me on the highway sending you into another lane.

truck has 15000 miles has wheel hop in the frontend and the front tires are wearing bad on the outside it has had 3 stabilizer shocks replaced they told me for 1800 dollars to up grade the shocks the truck is under warranty please help

FOR OUR 2019 FORD F-450, ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT MESSAGES STARTED LAST OCT/NOV 2020. SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE AT UP TO 90 DEGREES TO THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, WHILE DRIVING! IT SOMETIMES RESET WITH THE NEXT CAR START. AFTER THE MESSAGES BECAME CONSTANT, THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SINCE EARLY JAN 2021. SAWGRASS FORD RECOMMENDS THE VEHICLE NOT BE DRIVEN FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. OUR F450 HAS BEEN SITTING ON THEIR LOT FOR 50 DAYS TOTAL AND COUNTING! ACCORDING TO MY FORD SERVICE ADVISOR: THE SACM (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MONITOR) IN THE TRUCK IS NOT PROGRAMMING TO THE NEW SECM. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD TECHNICAL HOTLINE TO HELP ASSIST IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE RESPONDED LETTING US KNOW THAT THE NEW SOFTWARE TO PROGRAM THE SECM IS BEING UPDATED. THERE IS NO DATE FOR WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT SENT TO US. IT SEEMS TO ME FORD IS HAVING SOME MAJOR ISSUES WITH THEIR ADAPTIVE STEERING MODULE WHICH COULD ENDANGER DRIVERS. I EVEN CAME ACROSS A MGR COMMUNICATION ID SSM 47854 THAT POINTS TO THEM KNOWING ABOUT ISSUES WITH THIS SYSTEM, YET NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT, AND MY TRUCK SITS ON THE FORD LOT.

THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AND WORSENING WOBBLING/ SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE AT 70-75 MPH WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY IS VERY UNSTEADY AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE OR OTHER OBSTACLE AT SPEED. I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED NEW TIRES ON THE TRUCK AND HAD THEM RE-BALANCED (AT 26K MILES), THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FRONT END STEERING STABILIZER AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

2019 F-450 THAT CAME WITH CONTINENTAL HSR TIRES AS THE OEM TIRE. THE TRUCK HAS HAD 2 SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE A STEER TIRE (ONE PASSENGER SIDE, ONE DRIVER SIDE) HAS HAD CHUNKS OF TREAD BREAK OFF OF THE TIRE. THERE ARE NO KNOWN EVENTS CAUSING THIS FAILURE. CONTINENTAL TIRE HAS REPLACED BOTH TIRES UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS SEEMS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE. TIRE BRAND: CONTINENTAL TIRE LINE: HSR TIRE SIZE: 225/70R19.5 128N COMPONENT - TREAD COMING OFF OF TIRES MULTIPLE TIMES ON STEER AXLE.

COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITH ONLY 830 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ON JULY 19, 2019 WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON E. CAUSEWAY APPROACH IN MANDEVILLE, LA. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SLOWING ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME AT THE INTERSECTION. I RAPIDLY DOWN SHIFTED THROUGH THE GEARS TO REDUCE SPEED AND ALSO APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE TO HELP REDUCE SPEED. WHILE THE VEHICLE DID SLOW DOWN IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE TRAFFIC AHEAD, SO I VEERED OFF TO THE RIGHT AND MISSED THE OTHER CARS. AFTER SLOWING TO A ROLL I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE I GATHERED MY THOUGHTS I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE MAIN ROADWAY AND CONTACT FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT ONE WEEK EARLIER. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED IN THE ENGINE BAY BY THE MASTER CYLINDER AND RUNNING DOWN THE FRAME AND POOLING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE FLARE NUTS AT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BEEN GALLED UP AND ALMOST ROUNDED AS IF A WRENCH HAD BEEN SLIPPING OFF DURING ASSEMBLY. THESE GALLED UP FLARE NUTS WERE ON THE LINES THAT APPEARED TO BE LOSING BRAKE FLUID.*DT *DT*JB CONSUMER STATED HE RECIEVED TRUCK BACK FROM DEALERSHIP. ISSUE ON FORD'S END DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. LOOKS LIKE THE FACTORY HAS MISALIGNED ONE OF THE HARD BRAKE LINES AT THE MASTER CYLINDER. WHEN THEY TIGHTENED THE FLARE NUT THEY STRIPPED IT OUT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HOUSING. THE LINE HAD ENOUGH FASTENING TENSION TO HOLD THE FLARE MATING SURFACES TOGETHER. APPARENTLY WHEN I APPLIED HARD BRAKING PRESSURE THE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED NUT ALLOWED THE BRAKE LINE TO SLIP BACK AND LOSE FLUID & PRESSURE CONTAINMENT. BRAKES WERE FINE.*JB
