2010 Ford F-250 Supercrew 4-DR.

Alternator caught fire.

Unknown. difficulty steering, violent shaking of steering and wheels. already replaced steering contol box, tie rods, had alignment, new wheels. feesl like death wobbles at any speed.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY. HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO ALMOST COMPLETELY STOP THE TRUCK. HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 45MPH ON CITY STREETS AND WHEN DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE FRONT END OF MY FORD F-250 REGULARLY WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO SCARY AND VIOLENT AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS VERY CHALLENGING AND DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY WITH OTHER CARS AROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THERE WAS OIL LEAKING ON THE GROUND. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS SMOKE EMERGING FROM THE EXHAUST STACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EMPIRE FORD OF NEW BEDFORD (395 MT PLEASANT ST, NEW BEDFORD, MA 02746, (833) 344-1937) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH-POWER FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER MANY REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND NEWLY ADDED PARTS, THE FUEL WAS STILL LEAKING INTO THE OIL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE BEGAN THE SAME WEEK THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *JS

FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY KING RANCH (2010) WITH A 6.4 POWERSTROKE ENGINE. THE 3RD CYLINDER BLEW UP AND THE PISTON CAME APART AND SCARRED THE CYLINDER WALL UP. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NEW EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE TO FORCE DIESELS TO HAVE TO PASS SMOG. THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING TO AVOID PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES AT A COST OF $20K.

DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY IN GEORGIA VEHICLE SHUT DOWN APPROXIMATELY 90 MILES AFTER GETTING GAS. TOWED VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS GAS IN THE DIESEL FUEL TANK WHICH RESULTED IN BLOWN ENGINE. STATE FARM WAS CALLED, AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS THEY TOOK SAMPLES AND CLAIMED THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF GAS. THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE (6.4 SUPER DUTY FORD) IN THE PAST. WE PUT 20,000 INTO THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. NOW WE ARE WONDERING IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND I HIT A BUMP OR RIPPLE IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL VIBRATE VIOLENTLY CAUSING POSSIBLE LOSS CONTROL OF VEHICLE. MUST COME TO STOP QUICKLY TO STOP VIBRATION. MM

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND I HIT A BUMP OR RIPPLE TRUCK WILL VIBRATE VIOLENTLY CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL. I MUST REDUCE SPEED IMMEDIATELY TO GAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE VIBRATION

FORD F250 SUPERDUTY. 52,000 MILES. SEVERE SHAKE IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AT SPEED 45-55 MPH. TRUCK ALSO IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT (NOT WHILE BRAKING). HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. VIOLENT SHAKING AND BOUNCING OF THE FRONT END AND STEERING ASSEMBLY. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES- ALWAYS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING A CHANGE IN PAVEMENT SURFACE- BRIDGE JOINT; POTHOLE, ROUGH ROAD. BOTH WHEN EMPTY AND WHEN TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER. HAS HAPPENS GOING STRAIGHT AND ALSO ON CURVES. THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUES UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN TO A CERTAIN POINT (UNDER 30 MPH?) THEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. HAVING TO SLOW DOWN ON THE FREEWAY IS DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARTICLES, VIDEOS, ETC ONLINE THAT DETAIL THE PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT (I AM NOT PARTY TO IT ). FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT! THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AND IF THE DRIVER PANICS OR ISN'T SKILLED IT COULD RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS CRASH. FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FORD'S RECOMMENDED FIX DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CUSTOMERS SPEND A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS BUT THAT ISN'T THE SOLUTION. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MY TRUCK IS BONE STOCK AND WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT, NOT A CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE ISSUE.

IGNITION KEY GOT STUCK IN TAIL GATE OF TRUCK COSTED ME 450.00 TO GET TAKEN OUT BY ROUNDTREE FORD IN LAKE CITY FLORIDA

PERIODIC LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO EXTREME SHIMMY OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK IS A 2010 IT NOW HAS 40,463 MILES, HAS NO OFF ROAD USE, TIRES KEPT BALANCED AND ROTATED PER FORD SERVICE, HAS BEEN TREATED LIKE A BABY AND IS STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 30,000 MILES. AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY START SHAKING AT SPEEDS ABOVE ABOUT 50 MPH. I HAVE RUN INTO A DITCH WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL, OTHER TIMES HAVE SWERVED OUT OF MY LANE OF TRAFFIC. THIS CONDITION RENDERS THE $59,000 TRUCK HIGHLY DANGEROUS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE FORD DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPAIR THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT $1000 BUT THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, ALL PROPER MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN GENTLY DRIVEN. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND REPAIR THE TRUCK. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS JUNE 7, 2020. *TR

I HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM ON MY SUPER DUTY TRUCK AND IT'S HAPPENING EVERY DAY ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M BRINGING ON MORE THAN 45 OR 55 MPH AND I HIT A HOLE ON THE ROAD I'M AFRAID TO BRIBE MY TRUCK. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 65-75 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, OR ANY ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD, THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END. I HAVE HEARD THIS REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PERIODICALLY OVER THE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. DESPITE NEW TIRES, ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS, BRAKES, ETC., THE TRUCK STILL HAS THIS WOBBLE. THERE ARE TWO SPOTS ON THE HIGHWAY I TRAVEL WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF MY HOUSE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK. BOTH ARE WHERE THE ROAD TRANSITIONS TO A BRIDGE OVERPASS.

TRAVELING ON I-15 FREEWAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, GOING 70 MPH ON CRUISE. HEAD A LOUD "BANG", PULLED OVER AND SAW DAMAGE TO UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE AND FLUIDS LEAKING. TRANSFER CASE APPEARED TO BE SPLIT OPEN. TOWED TO MOJAVE FORD DEALERSHIP IN BARSTOW CALIFORNIA, WHERE REPAIRS WERE MADE. DESCRIPTION OF FINDINGS IS ATTACHED BELOW. PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE ORIGINATED IN THE 4WD SYSTEM. TRUCK WAS IN 2WD IN THE CAB, HOWEVER VACUUM HUBS WERE IN 4WD. MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS. NO RECALL ON FILE. POST REPAIR, THE TRUCK STILL STAYS IN 4WD WHEN REVERTING TO 2WD FROM THE CAB. OPERATOR IS REQUIRED TO MANUALLY PUT HUBS INTO 2WD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND DISPLAYED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF THE EXIT RAMP. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TIE RODS, TRAC BAR, TRAC BAR CUSHIONS, AND TRAC BAR BALL JOINTS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED DEACON JONES FORD-LINCOLN (3301 MCLAIN ST, GOLDSBORO, NC 27534, (919) 736-3387) AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS AS A USED TRUCK, PRIVATE SALE. WHEN TRAVELING OVER 45 MPH, IF VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR CATCHES A RIDGE, THE STEERING CREATES A FEEDBACK THAT VIOLENTLY SHAKES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATE, RAPID HARD BRAKING IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS FREQUENTLY, IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS FORD DEATH WOBBLE, IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL.

DEATH WOBBLE. HITTING A BUM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE STRUCK LOSES CONTROL. HAVE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER FOR HIT TO STOP. ALMOST TOOK ME INTO THE OTHER LANE AND HIT A CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

WE HAVE A 2010 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY DIESLE WITH APPROX 105K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY HIGHWAY (ROUTE 15 SOUTH IN WILLIAMSPORT, PA) AT APPROXIMATELY 64 MPH I WAS ON A BRIDGE THAT THE ROAD TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT TO MERGE INTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL BOUNCING THE TRUCK TOWARD THE RAIL GUARD. I APPLIED THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. IT TOOK ALL THE STREGNTH I HAD IN MY ARMS TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. WHEN AT APPROX 35MPH THE SHAKING FINALLY SUBSIDED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OUR TRUCK. MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED IT A FEW TIMES. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THERE IS A FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-2268 FOR THIS AND IT IS BEING CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WE ARE TAKING OUR TRUCK IN TOMORROW TO BE SERVICED AT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A FORD RECALL. EVERYTHING I AM READING ONLINE IS POINTING TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER/ADJUST ASSEMBLY AND CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AXLE AND THE BEARINGS IN THE HUB ASSEMBLY. BELOW ARE THE PART NUMBERS THAT ARE LISTED IN THE FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-2268: PART NUMBERDESCRIPTIONQUANTITY HC3Z-3E651-D STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER1 5C3Z-3B440-EEE 1 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 5C3Z-3B440-DDD 3/4 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 5C3Z-3B440-CCC 1/2 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 5C3Z-3B440-BBB 1/4 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 F2TZ-3A049-A CASTLE NUT2 W525288-S437 COTTER PIN2 I REALLY FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FORD AND PUT IN AS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE TO SAVE LIVES.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING BECOMES COMPLETELY UNSTEERABLE. SUDDEN VERY STRONG SHAKING VIBRATION IN FRONT END. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES TO DATE. ALWAYS OCCURS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH SEEMING TO RESULT AFTER A SLIGHT BUMP OR SEAM IN THE ROAD IS PASSED. FOR INSTANCE AFTER HITTING A BRIDGE SEAM AT 65 MPH EXPERIENCED SUDDEN, VIOLENT VIBRATION THAT ONLY RESOLVED AFTER THE TRUCK SLOWED CONSIDERABLY. COULDN'T EFFECTIVELY STEER JUST HELD ON AND LUCKILY DIDN'T HIT OTHER CARS BUT THAT WAS DUE TO EVASIVE ACTION BY OTHER DRIVERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL HARSHLY AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE A FEW EXTRA TIMES IN ORDER TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,800.

ISSUE #1 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AFTER HITTING A BAD BUMP ON ROAD, THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WHEEL HOP. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 40 MPH. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK ON THE INTERSTATE. ISSUE #2. THE TRUCK CAB BUSHINGS WILL CRUMBLE IN YOUR HAND. THIS CAUSES A VERY HARSH RIDE OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMPS. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP THIS IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ONLY 62K MILES ON IT. IT COST OVER $1600 TO HAVE THESE 2 ISSUES FIXED. I HAVE 3 OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCK THAT HAD TO HAVE THE SAME THINGS REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAY THEY REPLACE THE SAME THINGS ON 3 TO 4 TRUCKS A MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE.

2010 FORD F 250. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *LD *JS

TIRES REPLACED DUE TO BELT SEPARATION AT THE EDGE OF THE TREAD, CAUSING A SEVERE VIBRATION ABOVE 35MPH. THE TIRES DOT WAS CHECKED WITH MANUFACTURERS LIST OF RECALLS AND EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2009, THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED. I FEEL THEY SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED SINCE THE SAME SET OF CONDITIONS ARE APPLICABLE TO THESE TIRES.

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FROM 2010 TO CURRENT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND A TRANSMISSION OVERFLOW RELIEF VALVE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS KEEP POPPING THE STUDS WHICH ALLOWS FUMES INSIDE THE TRUCK UPON A $2000.00 BILL EVERY TIME... THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO FALL RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANS OVERFLOW....EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS IT SPITS THE FLUID OUT ALL OVER THE EXHAUST WHICH CAUSES A FIRE EVERYTIME. I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THESE PROBLEMS SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK.THESE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ADRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 THE HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE TAIL GATE WE WERE PULLING OUR 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE THE CAMPER HIGHER THAN THE TAIL GATE TO HOOK UP THE CAMPER. WE TOOK IT TO FORD IT WAS DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS AROUND $278.90. WE SAW THE NEXT WE WERE CAMPING IN THE SAME CAMP GROUND AFTER OUR REPAIRS WERE MADE ANOTHER FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT WAS BUT IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS A 2010 THE OWNER WAS ALSO HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE TAIL GATE OPEN ON HIS TRUCK BUT HE WAS HAULING A TAG ALONG CAMPER. IS THERE ANY RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL GATES ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS WAS AT 80331 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRACK BAR AND TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND DRAG LINK . WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE F SERIES SUPER DUTY. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS WAS DONE IN JUNE OF 2017 WITH 100778 MILES. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END WOULD SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAD TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND AT 70 MPH WITH ME ONE DAD IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE GOING TO BOUNCE RIGHT OFF THE TRUCK AND VERY SCARY FOR A WOMEN I WAS AFRAID TO PUT ON THE BRAKES SO IT WAS A RUFF RIDE TILL IT SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS WAS AT A COST OF$1,133.32. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A FEED BACK ON THIS INFORMATION IF POSSIBLE.

BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR IF YOU HIT A LITTLE BUMP THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WILL START HOPPING AND SHAKING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT'S NOTED ON THE INTERNET AS THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 40 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK BEGIN TO SHAKE TO THE POINT OF NON CONTROL. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY 3 MECHANICS AND REPLACED BALL JOINTS, STABILIZERS, TIE RODS, ETC. NOBODY CAN FIX IT. FORD WON'T ADMIT ANYTHING IS WRONG.

FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE AKA DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE BECAME SEVERELY UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH) AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD, FRONT OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. HAD TO SLOW VEHICLE TO 25 MPH TO STOP SHAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL, SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS COASTED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (SIMMONS ROCKWELL, 7327 NY-54, BATH, NY, 607-770-7600) AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD SUPER DUTY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND TURNING ON A BEND, THE ENTIRE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (LITHIA FORD LINCOLN OF BOISE 8853 W. FAIRVIEW AVENUE, BOISE, ID 83704) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOCKING PIN FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. UPDATED 10/26/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE IGNITION CYLINDER FELL OUT THE KEY STILL INSERTED. THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND KEYS HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JS

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONS SENSOR FAILS RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE SPEED REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THIS HAPPENED WITH SPEED GOING FROM 55 TO 15 ALMOST AS IF PUTTING ON BRAKES. DEALER REPLACED APPS AND IT FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT SURELY COULD HAVE IF OTHER DRIVERS WERE FOLLOWING CLOSER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 (NA) FORD SUPER DUTY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DURING THE DAYLIGHT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LOOKED POLAROID DURING THE DAYLIGHT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AT 800-444-3311 AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE RECALL HOTLINE AT 866-436-7332. THE CONTACT CALLED THE HOTLINE AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALL WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,428. UPDATED 08/18/17*LJ *CN

THE IGNITION SOMETIMES TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START VEHICLE THE IGNITION WILL GET STUCK IN THE FAR ON POSITION. IF YOU DON'T NOTICE THIS AND START TO DRIVE AND HIT A BUMP THE KEY WILL SPRING BACK TO THE OFF POSITION CAUSING POWER LOSS. THE KEY ALSO GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND NOT ABLE TO REMOVE IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE AND HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALLS ON IT. TODAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE THE KEY STUCK IN THE FAR ON POSITION. I DROVE AWAY FROM Y RESIDENCE AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE KEY WENT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND MY VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND PULLED OVER TO RESTART VEHICLE. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND DOES NOT RELEASE TO THE NORMAL POSITION. GETTING STUCK CAUSES THE HEATER AND THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE INSIDE THE VEHICLE NOT TO WORK. TO MAKE THESE DEVICES WORK, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE IGNITION ONE NOTCH TOWARDS THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE.

CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC. I ALREADY REPORTED ISSUE WITH ONE TIRE 12/15/15 #10854773 AND NOW HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ANOTHER 2 TIRES. ONE CAUSED VIBRATION EVEN AT SLOW SPEED. IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE SO WE HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO GET THE TIRE REPLACED. WHILE AT STORE, WE WERE INFORMED ABOUT CRACKS ON ANOTHER TIRE AND HAD TO GET IT REPLACE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2008 AND 2009 ORIGINAL TIRES ON F250 BUT NOT FOR 2010.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOUD RATTLING NOISE BETWEEN THE BODY AND FRAME OF THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER BUSHING (A PROTECTIVE LAYER) BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE FRAME UNDERNEATH THE CAB HAD COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT AND WAS CAUSING THE METAL IN THE AREA TO TOUCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE ON THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. UPDATED 11/01/16*LJ *TR

I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 69 BETWEEN SHEPPARD AND CLEVELAND TEXAS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND DIED IN THE INSIDE LANE. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WAS FLASHING A GREEN WRENCH AND WOULD ONLY RESTART IN A REDUCED POWER MODE. FORD DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS CRANK CASE OVERFILLED BY 13 QUARTS DUE TO FAILED HPFP. THIS WAS A NEW FORD ENGINE WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT WITH A 24 MONTH UNLIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY. DEALER ADVISED THAT FORD WILL COVER HPFP REPLACEMENT BUT WILL VOID BALANCE OF WARRANTY IF I DO NOT PAY $7,000 TO REPLACE ALL OTHER FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS. FORD BASES DETERMINATION ON UPLOADED PHOTOS FROM DEALER THAT THEY CLAIM SHOW EVIDENCE OF "RUST" WHICH THEY CLAIM INDICATES FUEL CONTAMINATION. THEIR PHOTOS WERE OF THE HPFP STRAIGHT OFF THE TRUCK AND COVERED WITH DEISEL. AND WHAT THEY CLAIM IS RUST IS ACTUALLY LIGHT REFRACTION OF THE DEISEL (PHOTO LABELED HPFP WITH DEISEL) I WITNESSED BOTH THE REMOVAL AND THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE PUMP. AT THAT TIME I ASKED THAT THE DEISEL BE WIPED OFF BEFORE THE PHOTOS BUT WAS TOLD THAT THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND RETRIEVED THE PUMP FOR INDEPENDENT TESTING FOR RUST AND TOOK PHOTOS AFTER WIPING OFF THE DEISEL. PHOTO LABLELED WITHOUT DEISEL FORD RECOMMENDED VERBALLY THAT I CHECK TO SEE IF MY AUTO INSURANCE COVERS CONTAMINIATED FULE BUT THEN REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING IN WRITING, INSTEAD REFERRING ME TO FORD OGC REVEIWING THE INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. THESE BOSCH HPFP HAVE BEEN FAILING FOR YEARS. IT IS A DISGRACE THAT FORD IS EXTORTING - COERCING ME TO PAY FOR THE BALANCE OF THE INJECTION SYSTEM WHILE ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILED HPFP. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?

WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN A ROAD GOING OVER 50 ITS A TERRIBLE SHACKS AND WE HAVE REPLACED A LOT OF STUFF MECHANICS REALLY UNKNOWING THE PROBLEM. AND PROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED ALL THAT MONEY WE PAID FOR THE TRUCK AND I PRAY THAT TRUCK DON'T BE THE DEATH OF ME AND MY KIDS WE NEED SOME HELP ON GETTING OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION FIXES WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL BAD CLOSE TO DEATH EXPERIENCE IN THAT TRUCK WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY ITS SHACKS UNCONTROLLABLY. TONIGHT I LIKE TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO UNCOMFORTABLE SHACKS.

2010 FORD F-250 WITH A HORRIBLE SHIMMY BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH. BECOMES VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER GOING OVER SMALL BUMBS IN ROAD, AND UNABLE TO STEER. TO STOP THIS I HAD TO SLOW BELOW 50 MPH. CURRENTLY 82000 MILES HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NO ONE AT FORD SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. SEARCH ON THE INTRANET APPEARS TO DESCRIBE IT AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

RADIATOR LEAK AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. I JUST BOUGHT A USED FORD F250 DIESEL FX4 LARIAT. NICE TRUCK BUT NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SO FAR. IT HAD 128K ON IT. JUST NOTICED TODAY THAT EVERY TIME I FILL THE RESIVOIR IT LEAKS OUT. LOOKS LIKE THE RADIATOR LEAKING WHERE THE PLASTIC AND ALUMINUM MEET. OVER A THOUSAND INSTALLED. THEN THE WHINE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BELT ENDED UP BEING BROKE OFF EXHAUST BOLTS ON MANIFOLD. 16 HRS AT $1300 PLUS PARTS MAYBE ANOTHER $130. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS FORD AT ALL. SAD THAT'S WHAT MY LAST FOUR VEHICLES WERE.

HOSE TO RADIATOR LEAKING, TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY SAID NEW HOSES AND NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR. SAID IT WAS STILL UNDER FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY. FORD WARRANTY DENIED THE NEW RADIATOR AND HOSES SAYING THAT THE HOSE LEAK CRACKED THE RADIATOR AND THAT WAS THE OWNERS FAULT. TRUCK HAS JUST UNDER 44K MILES AND IS GARAGED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WHAT GOOD IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, FIRST. AND SECOND, WHY SHOULD A RADIATOR GO BAD IN SHORT TIME. QUOTE FOR JOB WAS OVER $2000.00.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY HIGHWAY IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP OR GO OVER AN OVERPASS AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 35MPH THE SUSPENSION AND FRONT WHEELS START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WILL LOSE CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT WILL STOP. THE VIOLENT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. SINCE THIS OCCURS ON MAJOR OVERPASSES AND TURNS IT HAS AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION ISSUE COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE NHTSA MUST INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD IMMEDIATELY OR IT WILL RESULT IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND DATA TO SUGGEST THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING OF THESE VEHICLES. A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED ALONG WITH A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF THE DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION AND STEERING ASSEMBLIES OF THESE VEHICLES.

FUEL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ON INTERSTATE

EXPERIENCED VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AT ALL SPEEDS ON LOCAL COUNTY ROAD. TOOK THE F250 TO SUMMERVILLE FORD TO BE ALIGNED AND BALANCED. FORD FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE'S STEEL BELT HAD SEPARATED AND REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SAME BRAND AND SIZE. CONTINENTAL LT275/65R18.

CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC M+S LT275/65R18E 123/120S IS THE ORIGINAL TIRE ON OUR 2010 TRUCK. WE HAD TO REPLACE 1 TIRE DUE TO STEEL BELT SEPARATION. I SEE CONTINENTAL RECALLED 2008 AND 2009 BUT DON'T SEE MENTION OF 2010 BEING RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A SLIGHT BUMP AT 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE SEVERELY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OVER 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATING AND SHAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI TRAC RADIAL TIRES, SIZE DLT 275/65/R18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH A SEVERE VIBRATION WAS SUDDENLY PRESENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. ON 2/21/2016, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,800.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY ON THE HIGHWAY I DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART WHILE STILL IN MOTION. I TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKE BUT THAT SEEMED TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL IN HOPES TO ALIGN SOME DEFUNCT COMPONENT. NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP EXCEPT TO LET OFF THE GAS AND ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND AVOID A POTENTIAL FATAL ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY WAS A FRIGHTENING EVENT, IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE AROUND ME SO NOT TO COLLIDE WITH OTHER DRIVERS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL COUNTRY ROAD LESS THAN 40 MPH I HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF STEERING. ALTHOUGH I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED, THERE WAS NO DIRECTIONAL CHANGE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. LESS THAN 10 DAYS PRIOR, I WAS TOLD BY A FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE STEERING WAS 'A LITTLE LOOSE.' THERE WAS NO MENTION THAT I COULD HAVE SUCH A LOSS OF STEERING OR THAT IT NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I LIKENED IT TO 'YOUR TIRES/BRAKES/BELTS ARE A LITTLE WORN.'

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH, THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE/SHUTTER VIOLENTLY. IT FREAKED ME OUT AND I WAS CONVINCED I BLEW A TIRE. I PULLED OVER AND INVESTIGATED AND NOTHING SEEMED BROKEN AND ALL TIRES APPEARED FINE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER, CONVINCED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR ANY OBSTRUCTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR DON'T HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK I WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THIS RATHER LARGE TRUCK WANTS TO GO CAREENING ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW ~40MPH AND THE VIOLENT SHUDDERING CEASES. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS NOW THAT DATE OVER 10 YEARS OLD.

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT END BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY LIKE YOU HAVE JUST BLOWN A TIRE. WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN IT SETTLES BACK. THIS PROBLEM WAS CHECKED BY AN ASE MECHANIC AND SUGGESTED I BALANCE MY TIRES. AFTER DOING SO, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. HIT A SMALL POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS FROM THE FRONT END. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO BE RIPPED OFF.

WHILE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THROUGH A CURVED AREA OF HIGHWAY, VEHICLE HIT A SMALL BUMP. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL. ONCE I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH VEHICLE STOPPED SHAKING. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM, A WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN DRIVING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME STOPPED. SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE SAW THE INCIDENT AND SAID THAT MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I CHECKED SUSPENSION AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY OBVIOUS PROBLEM. I CHECKED LUG NUTS AND ALL WERE TIGHT. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A VACATION AND CONTINUED DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 125 MORE MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET, I AM SURE THAT I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS BEING REFERRED TO ON THE INTERNET AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES AND IS ALL STOCK. TIRES HAVE RELATIVELY GOOD TREAD AND WERE INFLATED AT PROPER PRESSURE. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I AM FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT. IT FELT VERY DANGEROUS. I WANT TO REPORT THIS SO THAT FORD WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT ON INTERSTATE 81 MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. THE ALIGNMENT IS NOW OUT AND THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER SEVERAL EPISODES OF DEATH WOBBLE. IF FORD AND THE NHTSA DOES NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AFTER KNOWING IT THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE THEIR PANTS SUED OFF OF THEM AND THEN THROWN UNDER THE JAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL READ THIS AND DO THEIR JOB AND NOT LET THIS GO ON LIKE CHEVY WITH THE COBALT KEY PROBLEM !!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE TRAILER HITCH FAILED AND DAMAGED THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO TURN OVER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BALL HITCH FRACTURED AND THE TRAILER DETACHED FROM THE TRUCK. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 45 ON UP FRONTEND WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSS LANE CONTROL. MOST OFTEN IT IS FOLLOWING ANY COMPROMISE IN THE ROAD BUT HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT ME FEELING OR SEEING ANY CHANGE IN THE SURFACE. WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, THEY QUICKLY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM CALLING IT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. ALARMED BY THE NAME ALONE I ENQUIRED. THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THEY ONLY OFFER THE CONSUMER TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR AFTERMARKET PART TO RECTIFY THEIR ILL ENGINEERED FRONTEND. THIS IS A SERIOUS OCCURRENCE AND WILL END UP CAUSING MANY WRECKS AND THE GREAT POTENTIAL FOR FATALITIES. I SEE FORD AND WHOEVER ELSE TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS SITUATION TO BE IN THE HEADLINES RIGHT NEXT TO GM AND THEIR ATTEMPT TO PRETEND AND BURY ISSUES KNOWING THEY PRESENT A COMPROMISE IN SAFETY. THERE IS A COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THEIR PART TO NOTIFY BOTH FORD AND NHTSA OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE FOR YEARS AND BOTH SEEM NEGLIGENT NOT TO AGGRESSIVELY REMEDY ANY AND ALL CURRENT VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT, AS WELL AS, ANY UNIT IN PRODUCTION. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE BLOODSHED/DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

WHILE DRIVING ON CROWDED INTERSTATE HWY. VEHICLE MAKES CONTACT WITH A EXPANSION JOINT AND TRUCK GOES INTO SEVERE WOBBLE AND SHAKING. HAD TO BRAKE SPEED IN MOVING TRAFFIC TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO CURE WOBBLE. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. LUCKILY DRIVERS WERE COURTEOUS ENOUGH TO LET ME GET IT UNDER CONTROL WITHOUT RUNNING INTO MY REAR AND CAUSING A PILE UP. HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN REPAIR SHOP TO INSPECT WITH NO IDENTIFIABLE SOLUTION. NOW HAVE A FEAR OF RETURNING BACK HOME THE 500 MILES. WIFE IS PARANOID AND FEARFUL. THIS IS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE IN THE LAST YEAR. MANUFACTURERS NEED TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR. *JS

MY 30 YEAR OLD SON HIT A. CAR IT WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE BAGS DON'T COME OUT HIS FACE HIT THE WALL BROKE HIS NOSE MESSED UP HIS COINS KNOT HIM OUT SENDING THE TRUCK IN COMING AND HITTING A TREE BAG NEVER CAME OUT CAR DRIVER WAS INJURE AND TOTALED BOTH. *TR

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OVER 60MPH THE TIRES START TO SHAKE LIKE CRAZY IN THE FRONT TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVEN TIMES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,400.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT SHAKES SO BAD AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. ALMOST HIT A SEMI THAT WAS NEXT TO ME. I AM TOLD ITS CALLED THE FORD DEATH SHAKE AND YOU CAN SEE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET OF THE PROBLEM AND I TOO HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO ON MY PHONE OF MY TRUCK DOING THIS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A STEERING STABILIZER BUSHING, SO I REPLACED IT. STILL DID IT. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE STRUT ON THE STABILIZER BAR, REPLACED IT. STILL DOES IT. NOW IN AT FORD AGAIN AND THEY TELLING ME ITS SOME PIN BAR,, WHAT EVER THAT IS. THEY ARE REPLACING IT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS... BAD DESIGN ALONG WITH THE REGEN SYSTEM TO MEET EMISSION BUT THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. THANKS *TR

AT 65 MPH, HIT UNEVEN ROAD, FRONT END WOBBLED DRAMATICALLY !!!!!!!!! TRUCK WENT OUT OF CONTROL & HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO BELOW 40 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME NOW AT OVER 55 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP. NEW TIRES ALL THE WAY AROUND, ALL TIRE PRESSURE MAINTAINED PROPERLY AT 62 TO 65 PSI.... THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND IS DEFINITELY A FLAWED DESIGNED THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION ????? *TR

BOTH RADIATOR HOSE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT SAME TIME DEALER STATES FORD KNOWS ABOUT ISSUE AND CHANGE TO A DUAL O RING DESIGN BUT DOESN'T WARRANTY IT. 846.48 TO REPAIR A DEFECT FORD KNOW S IS WRONG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH OVER A ROAD BUMP, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I WENT OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT JUMPED INTO THE NEXT LANE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE AND NO ONE GOT HURT. MY FAMILY AND OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING DAMPER WAS BAD. I'M SORRY BUT A BAD STEERING DAMPER WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING 65 MPH OVER A SMALL BUMP SHOULD NOT MAKE YOUR VEHICLE JUMP INTO THE NEXT LANE AND LOOSE CONTROL. THIS MUST BE FIXED BY FORD. I AM READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALL OF THE FRONT END PARTS REPLACED AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNS AGAIN. WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT THIS? DO NOT HAVE VIN AT THIS TIME MY TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERS. *TR

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2010 FORD F250 KING RANCH 4X4 MY TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE SERIOUS SHIMMING IN THE FRONT IN WHEN I WOULD HIT BUMPS ON HIGHWAYS. THIS SCHIM IS LISTED AS THE DEATH WOBBLE ON MANY WEBSITES. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT END REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND GOING ON THE FOURTH TIME TODAY WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. I SPOKE TO MY SERVICE MANAGER AND ASKED IF HE KNEW OF A PERMANENT FIX AND HE SPOKE TO THE SHOP FOREMAN AND ADVISED ME THEY CAN ONLY FIX THIS PROBLEM TEMPOARILY. THIS LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS PULLING MY 35 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER AND ALMOST ROLLED MY TRUCK WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING WHY A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN FILED. YOU CAN GOOGLE F250 DEATH WOBBLE AND YOU WILL SEE TONS OF WEBSITES WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AND COMPLAINTS THAT FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I THINK IF FORD CAN NOT FIX A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS THEN THEY SHOULD REPLACE THESE TRUCKS WITH NEW ONES. IT SEEMS TO BE THE YEAR 2008-2010 WITH THE MAJOR ISSUES. EVERY FRIEND I KNOW THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE TRUCKS HAS SAID THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY ARER SCARED TO DRIVE THEIR TRUCKS. I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME AND I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE FOR EVERYONES SAFETY. I AM LOOKING INTO THE LEMON LAW TO SEE IF I FALL INTO THE REQUIEMENTS TO FILE A CLAIM FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF ALMOST CAUSING IT TO FALL APART. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT ANY UNEVEN ROAD ABOVE 55 MPH. YOU CAN'T STEER AND HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND BRING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH BEFORE IT STOPS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING TO STOP AND BRING IT DOWN TO 30MPH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN LOS ANGELES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH ON LOOP 250 HERE IN MIDLAND, TX I WENT OVER AN OVERPASS CHANGING FROM THE PAVEMENT TO CONCRETE. AT THAT POINT I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO VERY BAD FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY COMING TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP VERY CLOSELY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS DEATH WOBBLE BEFORE ON MY 2007 FORD F-250 AND NOW IT HAS STARTED ON MY 2010. I TOOK THE 2007 TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR WOULD USE AN EXCUSE THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE AIR PRESSURE ON TIRES. THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. AFTER ARRIVING AT WORK I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS ALL FORD F-250 4X4'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ALL THEY WAY UP TO THE CURRENT MODEL. THERE ARE TONS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME STATING THAT FORD WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250 SD DIESEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A ROAD BUMP, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TWICE I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TAPPING NOISE. THE NOISE SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN ITS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE OR VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RUN FOR COUPLE DAYS. THE NOISE LASTS ABOUT 10 SECONDS THAN GOES AWAY. OF COURSE DEALERSHIP AND FORD SAID THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. YESTERDAY, I NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL LIKE A CLUTCH WAS GOING OUT, ONLY PROBLEM IS MINE IS AN AUTOMATIC. TRUCK ONLY HAS 50K MILES AND I STARTED HAVING THE TAPPING NOISE AROUND 32K MILES. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 F-250 SD, 6.4L PICKUP. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A CITY SURFACE STREET AND LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND NOTICED A THICK WHITE CLOUD BANK BILLOWING BEHIND ME, GENERATING FROM MY EXHAUST PIPE. I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK, THINKING MY TRUCK JUST BLEW AN ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT BACK TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIX IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT,? FORD IS AWARE OF THE SMOKING ISSUE AND CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL WITH NO FIX?. THEY MENTIONED THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY MOISTURE CONDENSATION. THAT DOESN'T SEEM FEASIBLE SINCE HERE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THERE?S MOISTURE IN THE AIR JUST ABOUT ALL YEAR LONG. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BLEACH THIS HEAVY, THICK SMOKE, ABOUT EVERY 20 TO 40 MILES, FOR APPROX. 45-120 SECONDS. I?M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A PUBLIC HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT BILLOWS, I CAN SEE CARS PEELING OUT FROM BEHIND ME, THINKING MY TRUCK IS ON FIRE. I'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE PULL ALONG SIDE MY TRUCK AND GIVE ME AN EARFUL, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OBSCENE GESTURES. IT'S IRONIC THAT THIS 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE HAS BEEN ADVERTISED AS CLEAN BURNING, LESS POLLUTION, IF A POLICE OFFICER OBSERVES THIS, I COULD GET A TRAFFIC CITATION. WE HAVE EXPRESSED OUR SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND RE-SALE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, (NOT TO MENTION HOW EMBARRASSING THIS IS WHEN THE TRUCK BILLOWS). MANY PHONE CONVERSATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT. AS WELL AS BRINGING THE TRUCK BACK AND WE STILL CANNOT GET THIS RESOLVED. IT'S A HEAD SCRATCHER TO ME AS TO WHY THE SALESMAN DIDN'T MENTION THIS ISSUE WHEN WE FIRST LOOKED AT THE TRUCK, SURELY HE SHOULD KNOW THE PRODUCT HE IS TRYING TO GET RID OF. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK PICKED UP SPEED BY ITSELF UNTIL IT REACHED 95 MPH THEN THE ENGINE BOGGED DOWN REPEATLY,THEN I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WORKED OK UNTIL EVENING THEN THE TRUCK FAILED TO START AND THE STARTER KEPT TURNING WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE KEY. *TR

YOU DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON ROUGH ROADS AND THE TRUCK IS BOUNCING ALL OVER AND CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH MADE ME GO OFF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS YOU HIT BUMPS THE TRUCK SWAYS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT WHICH HAS GOT ME IN CLOSE CALL FOR AN ACCIDENT. THEN THIS TRUCK LOOSES ALL THE CONTROL PANEL AND SMOKES IN THE CAB AFTER 3 TRIES THEY REPLACED A MODULE THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHAT IT IS. FORD KEEPS TELLING ME THIS TRUCK HAS STABILITY ISSUES AND ITS JUST THE WAY IT IS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THE PLOW WHICH CAME WITH THE TRUCK FULLY UP HITS THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHICH THEY THE DEALER SAYS IS NORMAL BUT COULD GET HUNG UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE AND TRY THIS TRUCK FOR YOURSELF TO SEE HOW UNSAFE IT IS. *TT

EGR VALVES WENT OUT AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WITH A 30 FOOT TRAILER, WHICH THAT HAPPENED TWICE, FORD SAYS WELL THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE DEALT WITH. THIS HAS RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHICH CAUSES TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN MAJOR ISSUES OR ACCIDENTS, TRUCK WAS PURCHASED TO HAUL A TRAILER AND WE DO NOT TRUST IT AT ALL SINCE IT HAS BROKE DOWN SO MANY TIMES. WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR LOADED OR UNLOADED IT HAS A HESITATION BEFORE IT GOES, SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED, FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALSO. WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST SYSTEM IS ON IT STARTS TO DECELERATE AND YOU LOSE A GOOD AMOUNT OF POWER. *KB

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AT LEAST 15-20 MINUTES, THEN WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF. ENGINE BEGINS TO HESITATE, SPUTTER, SHAKE AND LEADS TO A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND BEGINS TO BLOW TONS OF WHITE SMOKE, I , MEAN A CLOUD OF SMOKE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS HUMID OR RAINING OUT AND EVEN IN BETWEEN. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE. JUST PICTURE THIS SCENARIO PLAYING OUT, AS YOU ATTEMPT TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, PASSING OR GETTING ON A HIGHWAY, PULLING A TRAILER AND CLIMBING A HILL OR MOUNTAIN TOTALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE SAME CONDITION MANIFESTING ITSELF.THE EVIDENCE IS ON THE INTERNET DIESEL FORUMS AND BLOGS AND FORD SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT GENERATE ANY TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, WHAT A NIGHTMARE : VEHICLES AFFECTED ARE FORD F-250,350,450 ETC SUPERDUTY 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU PAY UPWARDS OF $ 50,000.00 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND THE MANUFACTURER ONLY MAKES EXCUSES FOR AN OBVIOUS MODEL WIDE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM/ CONDITION HAS MANIFESTED OVER 25 TIMES IN MY VEHICLE IN ONLY 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM SCARED TO PASS, PULL TRAILERS, CROSS INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THIS CONDITION LEAVES THE CAR POWERLESS FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS AT WILL REPEATEDLY. WE NEED YOUR HELP, TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO COME CLEAN AND OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT ONCE AND FOR ALL IT AFFECTS 2008-2010 MODEL YEARS, THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS ON THE FIRST BUILD OF VEHICLES, THERE ARE 3 BUILDS I BELIEVE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT IN THE LATER BUILDS. WOW UNBELIEVABLE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK ON JUNE 11 2010. I BEGAN TO HAVE INTERMITTENT BRAKE PROBLEMS (NO STOPPING) THE PROBLEM INCREASED UNTIL I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE ( AT 15 MPH ) WITH ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE PEDAL ( ALL 240 POUNDS OF ME). I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER SHIP (HARPER MOTORS MID CITY FORD IN EUREKA CA.) IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR TWO DAYS. TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT A FORD ENGINEER HAD BEEN THERE AND NOT ONLY WERE THEY ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM IN MY TRUCK. THAT THEY SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK OTHER BRAND NEW 2010 F 250'S ON THE LOT AND WERE ABLE TO GET SIMILAR FAILURES IN THOSE VEHICLES. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THIS, THAT THEY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I AM REFUSING TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK AS I HAUL HEAVY LOADS IN MY CONTRACTING BUSINESS AND CAN NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT STOP. I AM AMAZED AT THE CAVALIER ATTITUDE OF THIS DEALERSHIP, BUT NOT SURPRISED AS I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS THERE OVER THE YEARS. I WILL ALSO BE ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WITH AN ATTORNEY AS I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE STUBBORN AND DIFFICULT TO MOVE FROM THEIR POSITION FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD SO FAR. I HAVE AS OF YET, BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR CORPORATION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THIS IS A GOOD START HERE. *TR
