I DROVE OVER A BRIDGE ON AN INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. IT FELT AS THOUGH ALL FOUR TIRES BLEW OUT AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING WHATSOEVER. I HAD TO SLOW ALMOST TO A STOP AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HIT A LINE OF BUMPS. THE TRUCK WOULD START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN UNDER 30 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. FORD PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPER IN AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED 2 WEEKS AFTER. I WENT AND BOUGHT A KIT FROM WRC MOTORSPORTS FOR $1,000 AND PAID OVER $500.00 TO HAVE IT PUT IN TODAY. HOPEFULLY THIS STOPS THE PROBLEM AND FORD WILL REIMBURSE ME SOME OF THE COST. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 70 IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENT THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT WHEEL PASSED OVER A PAVEMENT PATCH WHICH WAS SLIGHTLY RAISED. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL PASSED OVER A PAVEMENT PATCH WHICH WAS SLIGHTLY RAISED. THESE TWO RELATIVELY MINOR BUMPS CAUSED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHICH THEN INTENSIFIED UNTIL THE VEHICLE STEERING WAS VIRTUALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. IN ORDER TO STOP THE VIOLENT BOUNCING AND WOBBLE I HAD TO BRAKE HARD ALMOST COMING TO A STOP. THIS UNEXPECTED RAPID SPEED REDUCTION QUITE NATURALLY CAUSED VEHICLES TO HAVE TO BRAKE VERY HARD TO AVOID A COLLISION. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS REVEALED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HTTP://WWW.THEDIESELSTOP.COM/FORUMS/F149/FRONT-END-BOUNCE-HIGH-SPEEDS-274673/ IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I AM NOT A BEGINNER AT OPERATING HEAVY DUTY PICK UP TRUCKS. I DROVE 3/4 TON AND ONE TON 4X4 TRUCKS FOR 30 YEARS AS PART OF MY DUTIES AS A RURAL AREA LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WITH CO-LATERAL DUTIES IN REMOTE AREA SEARCH AND RESCUE. HAD I BEEN TOWING MY FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER WHEN THIS HIGH SPEED WOBBLE OCCURRED IT COULD VERY WELL HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR TRAFFIC INCIDENT/COLLISION INVOLVING MULTIPLE VEHICLES. AS IT WAS WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED REAR END COLLISIONS AS A RESULT OF THE NECESSITY TO UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKE AND SLOW TO REGAIN CONTROL OF OUR TRUCK. *TR

2011 FORD F-250 DIESEL. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A 2 LANE RD. AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE FRONT END/STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER FOR TIRE REBALANCING AND ROTATION (3RD FOR THIS VEHICLE) HE STATED THE TIRES APPEARED TO BE WEARING "FUNNY". A COUPLE WEEKS LATER ON A LONG TRIP OUT OF STATE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AGAIN, WORSE THAN BEFORE. WHILE OUT OF TOWN I HAD ALIGNMENT CHECKED WITH NO ISSUE FOUND AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES. VEHICLE SEEMED REPAIRED ON RETURN TRIP AND HAS SINCE BEGUN THE VIBRATION AGAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY WHO SENT ME TO A LOCAL FRONT END SPECIALIST. THIS GENTLEMAN KNEW THE EXACT ISSUE AND CLAIMS TO HAVE REPAIRED HUNDREDS OF THEM. HE STATED THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. HIS OPINION WAS THAT I NEED TO PURCHASE A "TRACK BAR KIT" WHICH HE WOULD INSTALL AND THEN ENSURE THE VEHICLE WAS REALIGNED. AFTER ARRIVING HOME TODAY I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET FOR ANY INFORMATION I COULD FIND AND FOUND MANY ARTICLES AND VIDEOS ABOUT WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE A SON WHO TURNED 16 ON SUNDAY AND I VALUE HIS LIFE MORE THAN TO LET HIM DRIVE OUR NEW 2011 VEHICLE WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND THE REASON I AM FILING MY COMPLAINT TODAY. *TR

MY 2011 FORD F250 DIESEL 4X4 CREW CAB 6.5' BED HAS EXPERIENCED UNEXPLAINABLE SUSPENSION VIBRATIONS AND WOBBLES OVER THE COURSE OF ITS, NOW, 13.5K MILE LIFE. THE TRUCK, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE WHEELS AND TIRES WERE BALANCE, BOUNCES AT 45-70 MPH AND BOUNCES AT A VERY DANGEROUS LEVEL AT HIGHER SPEEDS WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO WORSENED AT THE ONSET OF THE SPEED HEADING INTO A CORNER WHERE THE WHEEL IS TURNED.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 55 NORTH IN IMPERIAL MISSOURI WITH MY 3 YR OLD SON IN REAR CAR SEAT WHEN I WENT OVER SOME NORMAL ROAD BUMP AND MY FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO CORRECT THE SHAKE. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE FAST LANE AS I HAD NO WAY TO MOVE TO LEFT OR RIGHT. THANK GOD I WAS NOT BEING TAILGATED! I WAS SCARED HALF TO DEATH AND MY 3YR OLD WAS CRYING SO HARD THAT HE COULDN'T BREATHE! I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A TSB FOR A STEERING DAMPENER AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. THE VERY NEXT MORNING IT DID THE VIOLENT SHAKE AGAIN. TOOK IT STRAIGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD A FORD ENGINEER LOOK AT IT AND THEY REPLACED A TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND SAID IT WAS GOOD NOW. I TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED TO TEST DRIVE IT BEFORE I TOOK IT THIS TIME AND THEY LET ME. STILL HAD THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT HE SAID THAT THE ENGINEER SAID I NEEDED TO PUT NEW TIRES ON AND A ALIGNMENT BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ELSE. THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAN TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WRONG WITH MY TRUCK!!!!! MY FAMILY TRUCK HAS BECOME A DEATH TRAP!!!! PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! IF THIS WAS YOUR CHILD IN THIS TRUCK YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A ENTRANCE RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 55-60MPH... I RECALL HITTING SOME TYPE OF ROAD BUMPS - PAVEMENT JOINT THAT STARTED THE EVENT... TYPICALLY I'M USED TO EXPERIENCING THE BACK OF MY TRUCK BOUNCE IN THE PAST CAUSING LANE CORRECTION BUT THIS TIME THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SEVERELY... I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF 3 SO DECIDED TO BREAK AND GET INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN ASAP BASED ON APPROACHING VEHICLES FROM BEHIND... I PULLED OFF AND CHECKED THE LEFT SIDE AND THE RIGHT... ALL WAS FINE... I SHOOK THE WHEELS... ALL TIGHT... THE SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE WAS SO SEVERE I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT AND GETTING IT SAFELY OFF THE ROADWAY... PAPERS IN MY VISORS SHOOK LOOSE... 2 GYM BAGS IN PASSENGER SEAT ENDED UP ON FLOOR.... A LARGE SCREEN TV THAT WAS TAPED AGAINST THE BACK WINDOW ON THE BACK SEAT WAS THUS SHIFTED LAYING NOW ON TOP OF THE FRONT SEATS.... I LATER REALIZED THAT THE SANDWICH I JUST BOUGHT WAS GONE FROM THE CONSOLE AND LATER FOUND ON THE FLOOR AT THE PASSENGERS DOOR!!!! BEING COMMITTED TO THE FREEWAY I SLOWLY STARTED OUT, AND NO OTHER ISSUES... AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES ON THE FREEWAY I KICKED IT UP TO FREEWAY SPEEDS, BUT GOT THE PUCKER FACTOR EACH TIME I HIT ROAD BUMPS ON MY TRIP.. I WORK FOR THE CITY OF ROCHESTER HILLS AND CALLED OUR FLEET MGR, AND TOLD HIM OF MY ISSUE, HE HAD NO IDEA BUT CHECKED AND FOUND TSB 11-6-14 THAT WAS VERBATIM WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.. THE DEALER ORDERED UP PARTS AND WILL ADVISE WHEN TO BRING IT IN BUT FORD CORP I FELT SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED OF A POSSIBLE ROLL OVER ISSUE, AS IM SURE IF I WAS AT 70-80 ON THE FREEWAY OR MY KIDS DRIVING WITH LESS EXPERIENCE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A ROLLOVER... FORD SAID UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN OR THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX IT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO!!!!! I ADVISED IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEXT CALL THEY WANT IS FROM LEGAL COUNCIL ADDING THE 0000 AFTER A FATALITY!!! *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE FRONT END WOBBLE WHICH MOSTLY OCCURS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 55 - 70 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE SO MUCH THAT USUALLY THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP THE WOBBLE. THE COVER ON THE DASH OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS CRACKED DUE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE TRUCK. ALSO, FLUID HAS BEGUN TO LEAK FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL AS A RESULT OF THE SHAKING AS WELL. BOTH FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO OFFER ANY REMEDY. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS SITUATION. I HAVE VIDEOS IF NEEDED. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

BELOW IS A COMPLAINT LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO FORD TODAY. I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. SO FAR THEY ARE HOLDING MY TRUCK HOSTAGE AND NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY TRUCK OF THIS TYPE AND MODEL THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE FORDFORUM.ORG UNDER THE HEADING OF VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING. MY 2011 F-250 HAS BEEN AT GUS MUCHADO FORD IN PALMETTO BAY FLORIDA FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS FOR A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE WORKING WITH ENGINEERS AT FORD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE MECHANIC CAN ONLY EMAIL THE ENGINEER, HE THEN HAS TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINEER TO READ THE EMAIL AND RESPOND. THEN THE ENGINEER HAS TO WAIT FOR THE MECHANIC AND SO ON. IN THE 4 DAYS THEY HAVE HAD MY TRUCK ONLY 2 THINGS HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT. WHEN I WAS THERE THIS AFTERNOON MY TRUCK WAS PARKED OUT IN THE BACK PARKING LOT AND NOT BEING WORKED ON. WHEN I ASKED WHY IT WAS NOT BEING WORKED ON THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE ENGINEER TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO NEXT. I DESPERATELY NEED FOR SOMEONE AT FORD TO STEP UP AND TAKE CONTROL OF THIS SITUATION. IF THIS MEANS SENDING AN ENGINEER TO THE DEALERSHIP, SO BE IT. AT THIS RATE I MIGHT NEVER SEE MY TRUCK AGAIN. BECAUSE OF THIS SLOW RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER AND FROM FORD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RENT A TRUCK THIS AFTERNOON. I AM PAYING $60.00 A DAY FOR A TRUCK THAT IS NOT EVEN COMPARABLE TO MY F-250. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER TO PICK UP THE RENTAL FOR ME DO TO THIS OBVIOUS FORD ISSUE, THE SERVICE MANAGER AUTHORIZED A VOUCHER FOR A WHOPPING $18.00. THIS WON'T EVEN PAY FOR THE GAS NEEDED TO DRIVE THE RENTAL FOR THE WEEKEND. *TR
