2016 Ford F-250 Sd

TRUCK HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PENNSYLVANIAN (NOT PULLING A TRAILER JUST DRIVING HOME) WHEN I WAS GOING ALONE THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I BRAKED AND THEN BACK ON THE GAS AND IT WAS FINE. I'VE READ A TON ABOUT THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" AND FEARED THIS WHEN BUYING A F250 BUT DIDN'T THINK THAT I TOO WOULD BE A VICTIM OF THIS POOR DESIGN BY FORD. I ROTATE AND BALANCE MY TIRES EVERY 5K TO 15K MILES AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED OKAY. VERY FRUSTRATING I HAVE TO BUY NEW PARTS FOR A TRACK THAT SHOULD LAST 100K+ WITHOUT ISSUES. I ORDERED AN AFTERMARKET (FOX) STABILIZER SHOCK BECAUSE THE FORD OEM ONE ON THE TRUCK WAS SHOT (LOST ALL ITS GAS OR LEAKED). AGAIN ONLY 48K MILES WHAT A JOKE! UNFORTUNATELY THE STABILIZER SHOCK HASN'T COMPLETELY SOLVED THE ISSUE. WHEN I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD I CAN FEEL THE PLAY IN THE WHEEL STILL AND BELIEVE I NEED TO GO THROUGH AND CHANGE ALL THE BALL JOINTS AND LINK ENDS. DO ALL THIS AND AGAIN CROSS MY FINGERS THAT IT WONT COME BACK. WANT TO BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE. JUST WANT A TRUCK THAT WORKS FOR AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR THIS THING FROM THE FACTORY. SAD FORD. I'M A DIE HARD FORD GUY BUT THIS IS A SAD DAY. *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK STARTED A UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. DURING THE WOBBLE I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND WAS MOVING OUT OF MY LANE. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED I ALSO TELL A FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HAVING THAT KIND OF WEIGHT BEHIND ME THAT THE TRUCK WOULD FLIP AND POSSIBLY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE INTERSTATE.

"DEATH WOBBLE" AT APPROX 34K MILES I EXPERIENCED WHAT I LATER FOUND OUT WAS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I DROVE OVER A SECTION OF HIGHWAY THAT I HAD BEEN OVER A THOUSAND TIMES BUT THIS TIME I HIT A POT HOLE JUST RIGHT AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE IN MY HANDS. AT THE SAME TIME I WAS APPROACHING A CURVE AND LITERALLY HAD TO STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING GO AWAY. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS FOLLOWING ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON CERTAIN CITY STREETS WHEEL YOU HIT A POT HOLE OR ROAD SEEM IN JUST THE RIGHT WAY. I CONTACTED A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED SEVERAL FRONT END COMPONENTS AND TOLD ME THAT THOSE REPAIRS WOULD FIX MY ISSUE. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 47K MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM IS SLOWLY RETURNING. THE WHEEL DOESN'T SHAKE AS BADLY AS IT DID THE FIRST TIME BUT IN THE RIGHT CONDITION IT WILL SHAKE IN YOUR HANDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FAIR OAKS FORD LINCOLN LOCATED AT 2055 W OGDEN AVE, NAPERVILLE, IL 60540, (630) 250-5750, AND THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED ORE REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *BF*JB

WHILE DRIVING, IF I HIT A POTHOLE OR DIPS IN THE ROADWAY, HIT THE TRANSITION FROM THE ROADWAY PAVEMENT TO A BRIDGE OR OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY OR HIT A GROOVE IN THE ROADWAY THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BEGIN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. THIS IS SCARY AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 AND 70 MPH. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 68 AND 75 THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON HAVING ALL FRONT END PARTS REPLACED, SHOCKS REPLACED AND TWO SETS OF BRAND NEW TIRES REPLACED WITHIN THREE AND A HALF MONTHS.YET, STILL I GET THE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END.

WHILE DRIVING HIT SMALL CRACKS AND BUMPS THAT CAUSED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF TRUCK, GOT ON BRAKES STOPPED AND THEN IT HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES REGULAR EXPRESSWAY JOINTS CAUSED IT, HWY 385 AND I 240 BOTH 4 LANE EXPRESSWAYS, NO POT HOLES JUST JOINT CONNECTIONS AT SPEEDS OF 45 MILES A HOUR GETTING ON EXPRESSWAY AND AT SPEED ON I240 65 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. TRUCK WAS GOING STRAIT AT ALL TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. TRUCK IS STOCK NO MODIFICATIONS.
