What 370 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Ford F-250 Super Crew

THE TRUCK THAT I OWN HAS NO ACCIDENTS, NO DAMAGES, 75K MILES ON IT AND THE RADIATOR IS PREMATURELY FAILING. THIS COOLANT LEAK ON THE LOWER DRIVER'S SIDE IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE PART.

"STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE" SCCM (FORD P/N 3F944) PLASTIC BODY BROKE, ALLOWING THE "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH" (FORD P/N 13K359) TO SEPARATE FROM ITS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND BECOME INOPERABLE. THE SCCM PLASTIC BODY IS QUITE FLIMSY AND THE PLASTIC IS BRITTLE - INSTEAD OF JUST BREAKING, IT SHATTERED LIKE GLASS. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT NIGHT DURING A RAINSTORM 3-4-16. HAD JUST EXITED ONTO AN URBAN ARTERIAL FROM A FREEWAY. INSTANTLY THE WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, AND HIGH BEAM BECAME INOPERABLE. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HOME (1 MILE FROM THE EVENT). NEXT DAY I WAS AMAZED AT HOW EXTENSIVELY THE PLASTIC SHATTERED, HAVING NO RECALL OF TREATING IT HARSHLY - JUST USING THE DEVICE IN THE NORMAL FASHION.

THIS ISSUE IS AROUND THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM - SPECIFICALLY THE REDUCTANT HEATER ASSEMBLY BUT HAS ALSO NOW AFFECTED THE FUEL PUMP AND ASSOCIATED EMISSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW 30 DEGREES. THIS CARE HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST 14 MONTHS FOR THIS ISSUE. PART OF THE DESIGN OF THIS SYSTEM FAILURE IS TO DEPOWER THE ENGINE WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE EXHAUSTED MY ABILITIES AND PATIENCE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND NOW SUBMIT IT TO YOU FOR REDRESS. SEE ATTACHED PDF DOCUMENT FOR FULL DETAILS..

MY 2011 F-250 DIESEL WOULDN'T START 2 WEEKS AGO AND AFTER HAVING IT TOWED FOUND IT TO BE THE H.P.F.P HAD TORN ITSELF APART AND PUT METAL SHAVINGS IN THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. IT WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS OUT OF SHEER LUCK THAT I WASN'T ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL HAVE, BUT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM OTHER THAN TO PUT A KIT TOGETHER FOR THE CONSUMER WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO SIMPLIFY THE ORDERING PROCESS. THIS IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD IF MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWER. THIS IS A FREQUENT ENOUGH OCCURRENCE TO WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION IN MY OPINION FOR THE THOUSANDS OF AFFECTED FORD DIESEL OWNERS.

WE HAVE A 2011 DIESEL FORD F250 SUPER DUTY PICKUP. IT IS LIKE NEW, BUT HAS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS MECHANICAL DEFECT. WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES IT BEGAN HAVING THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY TRIED TO GET THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN BEND, OREGON AND FORD MOTOR CORPORATION TO RESOLVE THIS DEATH THREATENING MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH NO LUCK. THIS STARTED OCCURRING WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR IF AT ANYTIME A BUMP, ROUGH ROAD, OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD IS HIT. NOW IT CAN'T EVEN BE DRIVEN THAT FAST WITHOUT VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY GOING INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE. APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES IT WORSE. IT HAS TO BE ALLOWED TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THE VIBRATION IS SO VIOLENT IT TAKES ALL ONES STRENGTH TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES ONE WILL EVER ENCOUNTER BEHIND THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING SO BADLY YOU THINK IT'LL FALL APART AND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WITH MY SON DRIVING, IT PULLED HIM INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC TOWARDS A SEMI-TRUCK. HE BARELY PULLED IT BACK INTO HIS LANE BEFORE HAVING A 'HEAD ON' COLLISION. THE BEND OREGON DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS PICKUP DEATH WOBBLE IS WORSE THAN THOSE DESCRIBED ON THE INTERNET.

MANY ISSUES (MYSELF INCLUDED) OF SEVERE "DEATH WABBLE" WHEN VEHICLE HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS RESULTING IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHIMMY THAT MANY TIMES SENDS THE VEHICLE INTO ADJACENT LANES UNTIL IT IS SLOWED TO 30 OR 40 MPH.

TURNED ONTO BUSY HIGHWAY, VEHICLE WARNING CHIMED A FEW TIMES AND MESSAGE CENTER SAID 'STOP SAFELY NOW" VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THEN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE IF AN INTERSECTION WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. I HAD TO HAVE MY WIFE EXIT THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION AND THEN HAVE THE VEHICLE PUSHED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I CONTACTED A TOWING COMPANY TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED NUMBER 4 EGT SENSOR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM.

WE HAVE A 2011 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY DIESEL PICK UP WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. IT IS LIKE NEW, BUT HAS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS MECHANICAL DEFECT. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS TRIED UP TO (11) ELEVEN FIXES FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. NONE OF THESE "FIXES" APPLY ON THIS PICK UP. NOW SINCE THE PICK UP IS OLDER THAN 3 YRS. EVEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR "TRYING" OUT MORE POSSIBLE FIXES THAT HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL FOR ALL THESE FORD F250 & F350 PICK UPS. THIS SHOULD BE AT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S EXPENSE. THE BOTTOM LINE, IT SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK BY FORD SINCE IT IS NOT YET PROVEN TO BE FIXABLE. PROBLEM: THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AS DESCRIBED ON THE INTERNET. THIS OCCURS ANYTIME THESE FORD SUPER DUTY F250 OR F350 DIESEL PICKUPS ARE DRIVEN OVER 40MPH AND A BUMP, ROUGH ROAD, OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD IS HIT. THE OPERATOR LOOSES CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE PICKUP WAS PULLED INTO THE ON-COMING TRAFFIC. IT TOOK ALL MY SON'S STRENGTH TO GAIN SOME CONTROL AND KEEP FROM HITTING AN ONCOMING SEMI-TRUCK. THIS VEHICLE IS WORSE THAN THE INTERNET VIDEO AS CONFIRMED BY THE BEND OREGON FORD DEALERSHIP. APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES IT WORSE. IT HAS TO BE ALLOWED TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THE VIBRATION IS SO VIOLENT IT TAKES ALL ONES STRENGTH TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. IT'S ONE OF THE MORE FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES YOU'LL ENCOUNTER BEHIND THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING SO BADLY YOU THINK IT'LL FALL APART AND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED DEATH WOBBLE.

WHEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, THE TRUCK ENCOUNTERED A SLIGHT BUMP AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK WANDERED OUT OF THE LANE DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THE SHAKING ONLY STOPPED AFTER SLOWING TO ABOUT 35 MPH. THE FAILURE REPEATED ITSELF A FEW MINUTES LATER BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY (6 MONTHS / 3000 MILES AGO). THE FORD DEALER SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION MECHANIC. HE INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND SAID ALL THE FRONT END COMPONENTS WERE FINE BUT HE NOTED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER HAD ABOUT A 1" DEAD ZONE. ON HIS RECOMMENDATION I REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AND THE FACTORY SHOCK ABSORBERS. THIS VIDEO ATTRIBUTED TO NHTSA DESCRIBES THE FAILURE PRETTY WELL: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GT8CKIQSXJE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TIRE SHOCKS, VIBRATION DAMPENER, DRAG LINK, TIE ROD, AND ALL THE TIRES WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

PURCHASED 2011 F-250 86000 MILES ON IT. GOING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WE WENT OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE TRUCK VIBRATED AND SHOOK SO BAD WE NEARLY LOST CONTROL. HAD TO STOP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY SHOULDER AND LOOK TO SEE IF WE HAD A FLAT TIRE. NOTHING OBVIOUS BUT BROUGHT IT TO OUR MECHANIC ANYWAYS A COUPLE DAYS LATER. EVERY BUMP ON THE ROAD WILL NOW CAUSE THIS REACTION AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD BE DEVASTATING. OUR MECHANIC IS GOING TO TRY A NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND FRONT AXLE JOINTS BUT I FEAR THIS TRUCK HAS THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS.

WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WENT OVER A SEPARATION CRACK AT ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK FRONT AXLE / SUSPENSION STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY / SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I STARTED TO PUT A SECURE HOLD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND AT THE SAME TIME APPLYING THE BRAKES. AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SMOOTH OUT, PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY, CHECKED THE TRUCK OUT, DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. I CONTINUED AT REDUCED SPEED TO HOME AND CHECKED IT OUT AGAIN, BUT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. PRIOR TO THAT INCIDENT, I HAD COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A ROUGH RIDE, WENT WITH A MECHANIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RIDE, AND HE SAID IT RIDES LIKE THE OTHER F250'S. AFTER THE VIBRATION INCIDENT, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE LEFT FRONT SHOCK, REMOVED IT AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS NOT WORKING TO WELL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LITTLE BAD, AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT, I THEN ASK THEM ABOUT THE RIGHT SHOCK, AND THEY DID NOT THINK THAT THE RIGHT SIDE WAS BAD, I THEN STATED THAT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE REPLACED IN PAIRS, AND THAT THE REARS SHOULD ALSO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID NO, BUT AFTER MORE DISCUSSION, THEY DID AGREE TO REPLACE THE RIGHT SHOCK {CUSTOMER SATISFACTION}.IT DID SEEM TO RIDE BETTER. HOW EVER ON THE EVENING OF FRIDAY 7 AUGUST, THE TRUCK HAD ANOTHER EPISODE ON A DIFFERENT ROAD, LIKE IT HAD OVER A MONTH AGO. SO I DON'T THINK THAT SHOCKS ARE THE TOTAL PROBLEM.. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT UNDER DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS, THIS PROBLEM COULD INJURE OR KILL MANY PEOPLE!!! SO WHO IS TO BLAME ???? NOT ME !!! . ,
