2010 Ford F-350 Sd

TWO TO THREE WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY FORD F350 SRW, $WD, CREW CAB TRUCK I WENT OVER A BRIDGE. WENT I CAME OFF THE BRIDGE AND WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. FIRST I WAS YANKED TO THE LEFT AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT TO THE RIGHT. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL I WAS IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS WHO, BY THE GRACE OF GOD WHERE PAYING ATTENTION AND BRAKED BEFORE COLLIDING WITH ME! THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT MY ARMS HURT FOR TWO DAYS AFTER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO ME, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE FORD DEALER WHO REALLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT "TRY" DIFFERENT THINGS.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, HIT AN UNEVEN SPOT ON THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK STARTING SHAKING HORRIBLY. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 50-55MPH. HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IN A TIMELY MANNER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A DAILY BASES, NUMEROUS TIMES IN ONE TRIP. IT IS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I'M SCARED FOR MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND ALL OTHER DRIVERS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS ISSUE CAUSES A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-350 SD. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINSLOW FORD (LOCATED AT 840 MIKE'S PIKE ST, WINSLOW, AZ 86047, (800) 331-6698), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING OUR FORD SUPER DUTY F 350 ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS , IFOUR FRONT TRIES OR TIRE HIT A BUMP WE LOOSE CONTROL OF OUR TRUCK IT SHAKES VERY VIOLENTLY UNTIL WE SHOW DOWN AND ARE ABLE TO PULL OVER. WE HAVE HAD THE FRONT END REPLACED, ALSO REPLACED DAMPER AND SHOCKS. THIS HAS NOT STOPPED THE ISSUE, AT THIS POINT WE WILL NOT PUT OUR FAMILY IN DANGER BY RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE.

FRONT WHEEL "DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURS BETWEEN 45 MPH AND 65+ MPH (IN TOWN STREETS AND FREEWAY) AFTER HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD, MOST GOING STRAIGHT BUT OCCURS IN MINOR TURNS AS WELL. FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND TRANSMITS TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAB. FRONT WHEELS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO TEAR OFF. TO STOP THE WOBBLE I HAVE TO SLOW QUICKLY TO 5 MPH TO 10 MPH. AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE WOBBLE INCREASES BECOMES EVEN MORE VIOLENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE LANES ABRUPTLY, PULLING OVER TO STOP. THE WOBBLE STARTED AS A MINOR NUISANCE THOUGHT TO BE A WHEEL BALANCE ISSUE. NOW THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND PROGRESSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IS IN REGULAR SERVICE, AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. THE TIRES ARE HIGH GRADE MICHELIN WITH APPROX 32K, HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES (NO PROBLEMS NOTED AT AMERICA'S TIRE STORE). I HAVE A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT WITH FIRESTONE AND HAD IT ALIGNED TWICE (NO PROBLEMS NOTED AT FIRESTONE). I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL, SERVICE BULLETIN, OR WARNING. PEOPLE THAT HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN HAVE PULLED OVER TO TELL ME HOW BAD IT LOOKS FROM OUTSIDE. I SEE BLOGS WITH SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE WHEELS BALANCED AGAIN AND ALIGNED THEN TAKE IT TO FORD FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-350 EQUIPPED WITH BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN T/A TIRES, SIZE: LT275/65R20 126/123R (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE TREAD SEPARATED. A FEW MILES AFTER THE FIRST TIRE FAILED, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE ALSO EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. THE TREAD HAD EXTENSIVELY DISINTEGRATED AND SHREDDED FROM THE REAR TIRES IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED BY A TIRE REPAIR FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TIRE FAILURES AND INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD OFFER A DISCOUNT FOR THE NEW TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT VERIFIED IF THE TIRES HAD BEEN RECALLED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THE TREAD SEPARATION AND PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR BOTH TIRES. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE ALSO UNKNOWN.

2010 FORDF350 SUPER DUTY, 127,000 MILES. I HAVE THE DREADED "FORD DEATH WOBBLE", I'VE CONTACTED FORD ALL THE WAY TO CORPORATE. FORD'S RESPONSE IS WE'RE NOT AWARE IF ANY ISSUES, AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON YOUR VEHICLE. MY WIFE WON'T RIDE IN THE CAR, THAT'S HOW COOLANT THE SHAKE IS. I'VE CONTACTED FORD BOTH IN WRITING AND VERBALLY, THERE ANSWER IS OUT OF WARRANTY, YOUR PROBLEM MN. THEY ARE AWARE IF THE PROBLEM AS IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THEIR ANSWER IS YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THE INTERNET. I GUESS THEY'LL TAKE OWNERSHIP WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED. OF COURSE IN A DEADLY CRASH, THE EVIDENCE/CAUSE OF CRASH WILL BE DESTROYED, HOW FOURTINANT FOR FORD.
