2016 Ford F-350 Sd

WHILE TRAVELING FREEWAY SPEED, HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD CAUSES AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE IN THE FRONT END AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO GO TOWARDS THE LEFT, THAT ONLY GOES AWAY AFTER HITTING THE BRAKES AND SLOWING DOWN 10-15 MPH. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORD CALLS IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAD THE TRUCK INTO FORD BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY REPLACED A STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK, BUT THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY TOTALLY. FORD CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM, AND DIAGNOSED IT AS TRACK BAR BALL JOINT WORN, EXCESSIVE PLAY, SHIMMY SHOCK WORN. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT IN THEIR TRUCKS, BUT REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT AND SAID IT'S JUST BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE WORN OUT. THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANY PARTS BEING WORN WHEN THEY REPLACED THE STEERING SHOCK, LESS THAN 10000 MILES BEFORE. VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE." KEN GARFF FORD WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE OEM PARTS TO BE REPLACED, AND NOW THE DEATH WOBBLE IS GONE. HOWEVER, FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR 15 YEARS AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT.

HAD TRUCK TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING LOSS OF ANTI FREEZE TOLD THEM EVERY TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS THE INTER OILER. THEY REPLACED OTHER THINGS SAID THEY HAD TO DO AS MANUFACTURERS SAID. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH NO LUCK. IT FINALLY RAN OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY THEN REPLACED A EGR COOLER AND SAID THAT WAS IT CHARGED ME FOR IT THREE DAYS LATER THE CONNECTING ROD WENT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND BROKE THE CRANK IN SEVERAL PLACES AS THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TRIED TO SAY I WOULDN'T LEAVE IT WITH THEM LONG ENOUGH THEY WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND ANY OF IT INCLUDING CHARGING ME FOR AN EGR COOLER THAT HAD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO IT NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. THEY HAD THE HEAD PULLED AND WHAT I SAY WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT ANTIFREEZE HAD FLOOD A CYLINDER AND LOCKED IT UP. CAN'T BELIEVE I AM THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I DO HAVE PHOTOS AND PARTS IF NEEDED.WAS IN MOTION DATE MOTOR BLEW UP IS APPROXIMATELY CAN GET EXACT IF NEEDED

I AM EXPERIENCING A PROFOUND "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE FRONT END. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, AN UNCONTROLLABLE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS AND THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY (CAUSING THE TIRES TO SKIP ON THE PAVEMENT SURFACE-LOOSING TRACTION) AND THIS "RHYTHM" CANNOT BE CONTROLLED UNTIL THE SPEED IS BROUGHT BELOW 25 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN A CURVE IN THE ROAD. IT WOULD BE EASY TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO SOMETHING/SOMEONE! EVERYTHING ON MY TRUCK IS FACTORY STOCK. THE TIRES ARE GOOD AND I HAVE MADE NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE SUSPENSION. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND WANTS ME TO REPLACE GOOD PARTS AT MY EXPENSE WHICH DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE MANY AFTERMARKET PARTS AVAILABLE THAT CLAIM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEM ON BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GIVE FORD A REASON TO BLAME THE PROBLEM ON THE AFTERMARKET PARTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND LOOKS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PALLOTTA FORD LINCOLN (4199 CLEVELAND RD, WOOSTER, OH 44691, (330) 345-6600), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,340. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

MY FORD F-350 HAS EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS FROM 50-75 MPH, IT'S RANDOM AND DOESN'T SHOW ANY WARNING SIGNS, IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNNERVING TO EXPERIENCE. HITTING THE BRAKES MAKES IT VIOLENTLY UNCONTROLLABLE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ME IN WORSE SHAPE THEN BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. I HAVE DONE TONS OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL F-250,F-350,F-450,AND F-550 TRUCKS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED! THIS DEATH WOBBLE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IT, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I OWN 3 FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SO FAR 2 OF THEM HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION AND MY 2019 F-550 IS SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS AS MY OTHER 2 TRUCKS BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY DEATH WOBBLED. FORD KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND SO DOES THE NHTSA. PLEASE DO RESEARCH AND AN INVESTIGATION SO THIS CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR ALL SUPER DUTY OWNERS! OR STAY AWAY FROM THESE TRUCKS IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY TRACK BAR, STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AND SOME SORT OF SLUGS WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. SO WE WILL SEE WHEN I GET IT BACK THIS TIME IF IT'S ANY BETTER.

MY 2016 F 350 HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY REPAIRED THE ALIGNMENT STABILIZER ARM AND LET ME GO AND GOT ON THE INTERSTATE10 HEADED TO HOUSTON GOT SPEED UP 75 MPH AND HIT BUMP AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK,18 WHEELER ALMOST RUN ME OVER; IT SCARED SO BAD I HAVE A PACEMAKER I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!!

HIT A BUMP AT 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE/SHIMMY. VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL SLOWING TO MINIMAL SPEED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 38K MILES AND TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, KEEP TIRE PRESSURE MONITORED CONSTANTLY. MONITORED PRESSURE AND VEHICLE BEGAN REPEATING THIS PHENOMENON AT 58K. PAID $3169.63 FOR REPAIRS HOWEVER, VIOLENT EPISODES CONTINUED. 100K MILES THE TRUCK REPEATS THE VIOLENT BEHAVIOR 3-4 TIMES DAILY. DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX.

THERE IS AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING AT 60 MILES AN HOUR OR HIGHER, AFTER INVESTIGATION IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES, THE SHAKING HAS BEEN CALLED " THE DEATH WOBBLE" DEALERSHIPS DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON AND FORD NOT GIVING ANY GOOD SOLUTIONS. THIS CANT BE SEEN WITH PICTURES THERE IS HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS IN YOUTUBE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
