What 98 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford F-350 Super Crew

I have experienced an extremely violent vibration/wobbling of the vehicle at freeway speeds on several occasions. During these times, it is very difficult to control breaking, steering the vehicle, making it nearly impossible. I felt very unsafe not only for myself, but also other vehicles around me as I was driving a heavy-duty vehicle on the freeway at a high speed with essentially no control. Although I was shaken up, I was able to regain control of the vehicle and continue on my way. There have been no reports or inspections at this time. Prior to this happening, there were no warnings or messages. This happens twice in 2 days while driving on a long trip. Both times this occurred while driving at 65-70 mph and driving over a small bump in road.

2014 F350 CREW CAB W/LONG BED DIESEL I PARKED ON SLOPED DRIVEWAY WITH SNOW UNDER PASSENGER TIRES. I PLACED IN PARK BUT DID NOT SET PARKING BRAKE. WALKED AWAY FROM VEHICLE AND IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN DRIVEWAY 12 FEET. THE TWO DRIVERS WHEELS WERE BOTH ROLLING, I'M NOT SURE IF PASSENGER WHEELS ROLLED OR SLID. WHY DOES THE TRANSMISSION (IN PARK ) ALLOW THOSE DRIVERS SIDE WHEELS TO ROLL? IS THIS NORMAL?

SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MAY OF 2014 I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNEVEN BRAKING, MEANING MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I BRAKE, THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT HARD. LESS SO ON THE LEFT. ON AUGUST 6TH, 2014 I TOOK MY 2014 FORD F350XL SUPER DUTY TO VARNEY FORD IN NEWPORT MAINE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT. THEY REPLACED BOTH BRAKE CALIPERS AND PADS. I DROVE THE MY TRUCK TO TENNESSEE ON AUGUST 15TH, 2014 WITH OUR 16,000LB 5TH WHEEL CAMPER ON THE BACK, DURING THE TRIP I HAD TO DO 2 EMERGENCY BRAKINGS IN 3 LANE TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK LURCHED TO THE RIGHT BOTH TIMES AND I HAD TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT! IT KEPT DOING IT ON OUR WAY BACK HOME TO MAINE AS WELL. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND ON JULY 30TH OF 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO HIGHT FORD IN SKOWHEGAN, MAINE FOR AN UNUSUAL NOISE IN THE DRIVE LINE. THEY PUT THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT AND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT. THE MECHANIC BROUGHT ME TO THE TRUCK THAT WAS ON THE LIFT AND SHOWED ME THE EXCESS BRAKE DUST ON THE RIMS. HE ASKED ME TO TRY TO TURN THE RIGHT SIDE WHEEL, IT WAS HARD TO TURN. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM COULD BE. THE LEFT WHEEL TURNED WITHOUT EFFORT BUT THE RIGHT SIDE WAS STUCK. I TOLD THE MECHANIC OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE WITH BRAKING AND THAT IT PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. THEY CHECKED ON BULLETINS AND THERE IS ONE BULLETIN ON UNUSUAL BRAKING ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF CALIPERS PUT ON THIS TRUCK AND STILL THE BRAKES ARE PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I AM HEADING OUT TO TENNESSEE ON AUGUST 14TH 2015 AND I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. THE DAY AFTER HAVING THE BRAKES "FIXED" FOR THE 3RD TIME THE RIMS ARE COVERED IN EXCESS BRAKE DUST. NOT ONLY IS THIS SLOWING MY VEHICLE DOWN TO GIVE ME LOWER MILEAGE IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD IF I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD AGAIN ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY AND SLAM INTO A FEW CARS AS WELL. WHAT HAPPENS THEN?

HAD A LOADED TRAILER OF ABOUT 10,000 LBS HAD TRUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, HAD BOTH FEET ON BRAKE. TRUCK WAS STOPPED ON A DECLINE. SHIFTED TRUCK TO REVERSE AND THE BRAKES FAILED. THE TRAILER BRAKES ALSO WENT OUT. TRUCK WENT OVER A HILL PUSHED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. I BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES BUT ONE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS ICE AND THE OTHER IT WAS NEW AND I THOUGHT IT WAS MY ERROR. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE IT.
