2010 Ford F-250 Sd

ISSUE #1 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AFTER HITTING A BAD BUMP ON ROAD, THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WHEEL HOP. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 40 MPH. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK ON THE INTERSTATE. ISSUE #2. THE TRUCK CAB BUSHINGS WILL CRUMBLE IN YOUR HAND. THIS CAUSES A VERY HARSH RIDE OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMPS. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP THIS IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ONLY 62K MILES ON IT. IT COST OVER $1600 TO HAVE THESE 2 ISSUES FIXED. I HAVE 3 OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCK THAT HAD TO HAVE THE SAME THINGS REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAY THEY REPLACE THE SAME THINGS ON 3 TO 4 TRUCKS A MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY HIGHWAY IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP OR GO OVER AN OVERPASS AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 35MPH THE SUSPENSION AND FRONT WHEELS START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WILL LOSE CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT WILL STOP. THE VIOLENT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. SINCE THIS OCCURS ON MAJOR OVERPASSES AND TURNS IT HAS AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION ISSUE COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE NHTSA MUST INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD IMMEDIATELY OR IT WILL RESULT IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND DATA TO SUGGEST THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING OF THESE VEHICLES. A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED ALONG WITH A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF THE DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION AND STEERING ASSEMBLIES OF THESE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OVER 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATING AND SHAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH, THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE/SHUTTER VIOLENTLY. IT FREAKED ME OUT AND I WAS CONVINCED I BLEW A TIRE. I PULLED OVER AND INVESTIGATED AND NOTHING SEEMED BROKEN AND ALL TIRES APPEARED FINE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER, CONVINCED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR ANY OBSTRUCTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR DON'T HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK I WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THIS RATHER LARGE TRUCK WANTS TO GO CAREENING ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW ~40MPH AND THE VIOLENT SHUDDERING CEASES. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS NOW THAT DATE OVER 10 YEARS OLD.

AT 65 MPH, HIT UNEVEN ROAD, FRONT END WOBBLED DRAMATICALLY !!!!!!!!! TRUCK WENT OUT OF CONTROL & HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO BELOW 40 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME NOW AT OVER 55 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP. NEW TIRES ALL THE WAY AROUND, ALL TIRE PRESSURE MAINTAINED PROPERLY AT 62 TO 65 PSI.... THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND IS DEFINITELY A FLAWED DESIGNED THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION ????? *TR

THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF ALMOST CAUSING IT TO FALL APART. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT ANY UNEVEN ROAD ABOVE 55 MPH. YOU CAN'T STEER AND HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND BRING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH BEFORE IT STOPS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING TO STOP AND BRING IT DOWN TO 30MPH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN LOS ANGELES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH ON LOOP 250 HERE IN MIDLAND, TX I WENT OVER AN OVERPASS CHANGING FROM THE PAVEMENT TO CONCRETE. AT THAT POINT I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO VERY BAD FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY COMING TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP VERY CLOSELY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS DEATH WOBBLE BEFORE ON MY 2007 FORD F-250 AND NOW IT HAS STARTED ON MY 2010. I TOOK THE 2007 TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR WOULD USE AN EXCUSE THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE AIR PRESSURE ON TIRES. THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. AFTER ARRIVING AT WORK I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS ALL FORD F-250 4X4'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ALL THEY WAY UP TO THE CURRENT MODEL. THERE ARE TONS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME STATING THAT FORD WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

YOU DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON ROUGH ROADS AND THE TRUCK IS BOUNCING ALL OVER AND CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH MADE ME GO OFF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS YOU HIT BUMPS THE TRUCK SWAYS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT WHICH HAS GOT ME IN CLOSE CALL FOR AN ACCIDENT. THEN THIS TRUCK LOOSES ALL THE CONTROL PANEL AND SMOKES IN THE CAB AFTER 3 TRIES THEY REPLACED A MODULE THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHAT IT IS. FORD KEEPS TELLING ME THIS TRUCK HAS STABILITY ISSUES AND ITS JUST THE WAY IT IS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THE PLOW WHICH CAME WITH THE TRUCK FULLY UP HITS THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHICH THEY THE DEALER SAYS IS NORMAL BUT COULD GET HUNG UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE AND TRY THIS TRUCK FOR YOURSELF TO SEE HOW UNSAFE IT IS. *TT
