What 168 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford F-250 Supercab

AT HIGH SPEEDS HITTING POT HOLES OR BRIDGE DECKS, FRONT END WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY. IT'S REFERRED TO AS (DEATH WOBBLE) NEED TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD TO STOP IT. VERY DANGEROUS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IS TURNING A BLIND EYE.CRASHING ON THE FREEWAY AT THOSE SPEEDS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. SOME VEHICLES HAVE AS LITTLE AS 20000 MILES ON THEM, MINE HAS 51000. JUST PUT NEW TIRES,FRONT SHOTS AND STEERING STABILIZER ON IT. STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE GOOGLE (2014 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY FRONT END ISSUES). US CONSUMERS ARE PAYING BIG, BIG MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES. $700000 IN SOME CASES. I PAID 40000 AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. ALL I WANT IS FOR FORD TO FACE THE FACT'S AND FIX IT. BEFORE SOME GETS KILLED! I WROTE TO WILLIAM FORD AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY A WEEK AGO BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. I CAN'T STRESS TO YOU ENOUGH WHAT A DANGEROUS ISSUE THIS IS. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE JIM HACKETT DRIVE IT, THEN I WOULD BE FIXED. JUST A SIDE NOTE, THERE WAS A CONSUMER IN SILSBE TEXAS THAT NOTED THE SERVICE WRITER AT SILSBE FORD SAID THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHY FORD DOESN'T FIX THIS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM. IN CLOSING PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND HOLD FORDS FEET TO THE FIRE. THANK YOU.

VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE AND CAB VIBRATION WHEN HITTING UNEVEN SURFACE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70MPH.) WHEN THE WOBBLE OCCURS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AROUND 40MPH FOR THE WOBBLE TO GO AWAY AND REGAIN CONTROL. THE MILEAGE WHEN IT STARTED WAS APPROXIMATELY 40K AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WITH 67K I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FORCED OFF THE ROAD AS I COULDN'T STEER IT AWAY FROM THE MEDIAN. AS SOON AS MY SPEED DIPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH I REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT EXIT FOR INSPECTION. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS IS BAD BALL JOINTS ON BOTH FRONT END SIDES. BE PREPARED TO SLOW TO 40MPH QUICKLY ON A BUSY FREEWAY IF THIS EVER OCCURS TO YOU.

MY TRUCK AT AROUND 15000 MILES HAD SOME WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT IN FOR ITS 25000 MILE CHECK UP AND STATED THIS AS WELL AS POOR ECONOMY OR 1 OR SO. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG... WELL AT 27000 MILES IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENT I DEMANDED IT BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE IT WAS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE! GROOVE FORD LOOKED IT OVER (WHO BOUGHT IT FROM) AND SAID THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS WORN OUT AND WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE NOW IT WAS 40 DAY PAST THE 3 YEAR. EVEN THOUGHT THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT, AND IT WAS 9000MILES UNDER THE MILLAGE!! I FINALLY GOT FORD TO PAY FOR 2000 AND THE GROOVE FORD PAID NOTHING I PAID 700. THEY VERY DAY I GOT IT BACK I WAS THEN HEARING A NOISE TURNING SHARPLY LEFT ON STEERING WHEEL ROTATION. I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER $700 AND NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THEY DID. THEY SOLD ME A AFTER MARKET WARRANTY THAT THEY NEVER INTENDED TO HONOR AND DID NOT COVER MY PROBLEMS. WHICH SHOULD BE FRAUD. EVERY ONES ALWAYS GONE OR ON VACATION. STILL NO REFUND ON IT AND NOW I LOOK TO TRADE IN THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK INTO A SHOP AND THEY HAVE HAD ME REPLACE TIE ROD ENDS, TRACK BAR, AND DRAG LINK ALL WITH NO CHANGE. I HAVE ALSO BALANCED ROTATED AND ALIGNED THE TRUCK ALSO WITH NO CHANGE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH OTHERS BEING AT A DEAD END FOR WHAT TO HAVE FIXED OR LOOKED AT NEXT. I AM TO THE POINT THAT I AM BECOMING SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FIRST HAPPENED SEPTEMBER 2016

VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKE WOBBLE. ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE FRONT END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX WITH NO CHANGE.
