NHTSA ODI 10654939

DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AND CAR STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. SLOWED DOWN AND EXITED HIGHWAY, ONCE TO 20MPH IT STOPPED. PULL OFF AND CHECKED UNDER CARRIAGE FOR ANY SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. NOTING FOUND. DROVE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I TOLD THEM THE ISSUES. THEY STATED "OH THAT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE, IT IS ON ALL THE NEW FORD TRUCKS" SPENT $600 TO STABILIZE FRONT END BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED. THIS IS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM ABOUT FORD F-250 AND F-350 TRUCKS YET THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

NHTSA ODI 10654807

DRIVING 65 DOWN ROAD WITH LIGHT ACCELERATION. TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. MESSAGE COMES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT STATES "STOP SAFELY NOW". THERE IS NO OTHER WARNING OR MESSAGE. SLOW DOWN TO PULL OVER AND TRUCK DIES AT 10MPH. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOLD THAT IT IS A FAULTY EGT SENSOR AND THEY HAVE SEEN A TON OF THESE. THERE ARE 4 SENSORS ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND IF ONE GOES BAD IT WILL DISABLE THE WHOLE TRUCK. REPLACED SENSOR AND NOT COVERED AS RECALL OR WARRANTY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS DEPENDING ON THE SURROUNDINGS IT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH BEING STRANDED ON ROAD FROM A SENSOR, WHEN THERE ARE 3 OTHER REDUNDANT SENSORS. *TR

DRIVING DOWN EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 70MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 30 MINUTES PRIOR. MESSAGE POPS UP ON INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT STATES "STOP SAFELY NOW", NO OTHER MESSAGE GIVEN. ONCE SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 10MPH THE ENGINE DIED AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. THIS IS IN RUSH HOUR DALLAS TRAFFIC. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND TRY TO RESTART IT FOR 40-50 MINUTES WITH NO AVAIL. HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHICH NOW INFORMS ME THAT I HAVE 3 BAD EGT SENSORS AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON, NONE. THEY STATE THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THEM. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THIS ONE WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER VERY CLOSE FRIENDS THAT HAVE FORD F-250 TRUCKS THAT THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED TO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I 26 AND A WARNING CAME ON SAYING TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER SAFELY. I DAD NO CHANCE TO DO THIS AS THE COMPUTER PUT THE VEHICLE IN "LIMP MODE". AN 18 WHEELER NARROWLY MISSED HITTING MY TRUCK AS WE MOVED TO THE SHOULDER AND THE ENGINE DIED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WE THEN DROVE TO THE DEALER WHO SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING OTHER THAN A WARNING TO CHANGE THE OIL. IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, THE TRUCK HAS SHUT DOWN TWICE AGAIN. A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED BOTH TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON I 77 AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND THE SHUT DOWN AS I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER. THE NEXT TIME I WAS ON US 521 GOING UPHILL WITH NO SHOULDER. THE TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND THEN STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. CARS AND TRUCKS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID US. MY WIFE WAS CRYING BECAUSE SHE WAS CERTAIN THAT AN 18 WHEELER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MISS US. I CALLED THE SHERIFF AND FORD AND LATER HAD THE TRUCK TOWED. THESE TWO TIMES, THE CAUSE WAS AN EGT EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE. I BELIEVE #2 FAILED AND THEN #3 (THERE ARE 4 OF THESE SENSORS). DEPENDABILITY IS OF COURSE AN ISSUE HERE. BUT THE REAL ISSUE IS SAFETY. FORD HAS DESIGNED A COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT STOPS THE VEHICLE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE TO SAVE THE ENGINE AND/OR THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. IN DOING SO, THE LIVES OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE PUT AT RISK AND COULD BE KILLED AS A RESULT. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE TRUCK DASH BOARD SENSOR FLASHED THE "SAFETY SHUT OFF", WHICH IS RELATED TO THE EGT EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSOR OF THE EMISSION CONTROLS. AFTER THE INDICATOR LIT UP, THE TRUCK INSTANTLY SHUT DOWN WITH NO ADDITIONAL WARNING OR PROVISION OF TIME TO MERGE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND INTO A SAFE AREA. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART NOR TURN OVER HOWEVER THE BATTERIES WERE FINE. IN MY RESEARCHING OF CORRECTIONS OR CAUSES TO THIS PROBLEM, IT APPEARS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS MALFUNCTION AS OTHERS HAVE BROUGHT IT FORWARD TO THEIR ATTENTION YET AS OF TODAY FORD HAS NOT YET ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. IT IS MY HOPE THAT IF ENOUGH THAT IF ENOUGH FORD DRIVERS COME FORWARD, FORD WILL LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM, FIND A SOLUTION AND PROVIDE A RECALL TO CORRECT IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

EGT EXHAUST GAS SENSOR # 2 ON 2012 F250 - I HAD NO WARNING THAT THE SENSOR HAD GONE BAD - TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED - I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I'M TOWING MY TRAILER AND THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET SAFELY OUT OF TRAFFIC - I OFTEN TRAVEL TO NATIONAL PARKS WHERE I HAVE NO SHOULDER OR CELL SERVICE OR AM NOT NEAR A DEALERSHIP - I WOULD BE STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY I HAD TO PAY HAVE THIS SENSOR REPLACED - MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR TOW SERVICE AS THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY OR AS A RECALL I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR AS A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF ONE CANNOT SAFELY GET OUT OF TRAFFIC - THERE ARE 4 SENSORS - PERHAPS ONE SENSOR SHOULD BE USED AS "SPARE" SO THAT TRUCK DOESN'T JUST "STOP" AND LEAVE ONE STRANDED - HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAS THIS ISSUE CAUSED? IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE SIMILAR TO GM THAT HAS JUST NOW BEEN ADDRESSED AFTER SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS? I SENT THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL TO FORD. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS ON THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS AFTER THE 50,000 WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT IF ENOUGH OF THESE CONCERNS WERE "REGISTERED" WITH YOU THEN YOU WOULD NOTIFY FORD OF A RECALL IF WARRANTED. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON 9-12-14. EGT SENSOR #4 FAILED THIS TIME.

CLEAR AND DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. FACTORY TRUCK. DRIVING AT 65 MPH WITH STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TURNED TO THE LEFT, THE ROAD MADE A TRANSITION FROM CONCRETE TO ASPHALT WITH A SLIGHT RISE IN ROAD SURFACE AND THE COMMONLY WORDED "DEATH WOBBLE" TOOK OVER VIOLENTLY AND RAPIDLY PULLING MY STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I EVENTUALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AS IT THE TRUCK TOOK ITSELF INTO THE MEDIAN.

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE TRUCK FLASHES A CODE "SAFETY SHUT OFF". IT IS RELATED TO THE EGT EXHAUST TEMP SENSOR PART OF THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS. AFTER IT FLASHES THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, NO TIME TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK WILL NOT RESTART AND THE STARTER WILL NOT ENGAGE. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 4 TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS LUCKY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A PROGRAMMING ERROR I BELIEVE AND IS A PROBLEM FORD MUST ADDRESS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OR BE INJURED IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED!! I REPEAT THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS. *TR

STOP SAFELY NOW: WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND YOU HAVE TO ROLL AS FAR AS YOU CAN TO HOPEFULLY GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I AM AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC AND DRIVER OF "NOT SO GREAT RUNNING VEHICLES" AS I HAVE TEST AND TUNE THEM TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS TO REPAIR THEM. E.G. NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING, NON WORKING FUEL PUMPS...ETC. WITH THAT SAID, I DO NOT THINK AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OF A NON WORKING VEHICLE WOULD DO SO WELL IN THIS SITUATION AND COULD END UP POSSIBLY HARMING OTHERS AS A RESULT. I JUST KNEW FOR SURE THIS WOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR SAFETY ISSUES AND TO FIND OUT FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR "EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY". MY QUESTION IS... WHO SAYS A PERSONAL VEHICLE IS NOT EVER GOING TO BE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE FOR YOUR FAMILY, FRIEND OR A COWORKER. COME ON FORD, IF YOUR CUSTOMERS BUY A 65,000 TRUCK SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE THE COMFORT OF TRUSTING THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STRAND THEM DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR STOP RUNNING IF THEY ARE TAKING SOMEONE TO THE ER... FORD DID REPAIR MY TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY, BUT, I THINK THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDED IF THE RECALL WAS OUT FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

NEW 2012 FORD F250, SUPER DUTY, 4X4, CREW CAB TRUCK, PURCHASED 11/2013. APPROX. 1 MONTH PRIOR, THE TRUCK BEGAN HAVING A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (75% HIGHWAY DRIVING, 25% CITY). THE VIBRATION GOT WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF A DAY. THE 2ND DAY THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE EXHIBITED A LARGE BULGE (TREAD SEPARATION) ON THE INSIDE TWO TREAD GROOVES. FORD REPLACED THE TIRE, WITH ANOTHER OF THE SAME BRAND AND MODEL. ON 6/30/2014, THE FRONT DRIVER TIRE, WITH NO WARNING, DEVELOPED THE SAME ISSUE, A LARGE BULGE IN THE INSIDE TREAD GROOVES. THE TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC LT275/65R18 123/120S TIRES, DOT# A3B9 479B 2511. BOTH TIRES HAD VERY LITTLE TIRE WEAR AND THE WEAR WAS EVEN ACROSS THE TIRE SURFACE, THE TIRES SHOWED NO SIGN OF POTENTIAL FAILURE. I DID GET TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE SECOND FAILED TIRE, THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY DAMAGE EXCEPT THE CORD SEPARATION WHICH WAS NOT VISIBLE FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE; I DID TAKE PHOTOS. I CONTACTED FORD'S CORPORATE NUMBER AND AWAITING A CALL FROM THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER, AND REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER IN REFERENCE TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN. FORD DID STATE THEY WOULD CONTACT NHTSA; FORD REFERENCE NUMBER CAS04645143-Z4T8T9. EACH TIME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CONTINENTAL TIRE UNDER WARRANTY FORD HAS TO LOCATE THE TIRE AND IT IS NOT EASY TO LOCATE. IN ADDITION, EVERY NEW FORD F250 ON THE DEALERS LOT HAS ANOTHER NAME BRAND TIRE, WHICH I BELIEVE INDICATES FORD HAS ISSUE WITH THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. I SEARCHED THE NHTSA DATA BASE AND FOUND ALMOST THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT; NHTSA ID# 10568111. I ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIRE MODEL. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CONTINENTAL, CASE #[XXX], THE CALL TAKER READ FROM A SCRIPT AND COULD OFFER NO HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRAMATIC WHEEL AND FRONT END WOBBLE WHEN HITTING A BRIDGE TRANSITION. VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE AND CONTINUES TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL VEHICLE COMES TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE IN MY 2005 F250 AND HAD TO CHANGE ALMOST ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT END TO FIX. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS ON THE FORUMS AND STATE THAT THERE ARE TSBS THAT COVER THIS BUT THAT THE PARTS FAIL AGAIN IN ABOUT 25K MILES. I PULL A BOAT QUITE OFTEN AND IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH A TRAILER BEHIND MY TRUCK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. AS IT WAS CARS WENT ALL OVER THE INTERSTATE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ME. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND IT SEEMS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE. I LOVE AND NEED MY 3/4 TON TRUCK AND BELIEVE THAT FORD MAKES THE BEST TRUCK, BUT THERE WILL BE DEATHS CAUSED BY THIS, IF NOT ALREADY. NOW I WILL START THE LONG PROCESS OF GETTING THE DEALER TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
