Example complaints

“Another incident of a death wobble in the front end. Going down the hwy there is a significant wobble. Front end of truck shakes dangerously. Slowing to 20 MPH resolves wobble but hitting a bump in the rd initiates this wobble again. This wobble has actually caused my truck to pull into another lane. I have had the alignment checked as well as new tires and balancing. Ball joints and other parts replaced. This is a factory issue and Ford has failed to address with owners. Deaths are a certain outcome if not finally addressed. Latest episode was last night but has been going on for years.”
NHTSA complaint #10894774, filed 2016-08, 140,000 miles“Driver's side wheel rotor and ball bearings, rotor started making noise of a grinding april 2009 we replaced the rotor and 2 months later the noise started up again, we then replaced it again. The rotor every 2 months will be completely ate up and broken down. This last time we replaced rotor on the drivers side the left front and again 2 months later had to do it again in dec. 2010. It is now feb 2011 and the rotor is again making the noise and now the wheel is shaking and we are getting a knocking noise on the drivers side front floor board.”
NHTSA complaint #10382545, filed 2011-02, 28,000 miles“I have a 2007 Ford f150 4wd pickup truck. I have 22,000 miles on the truck and just had to replace both front upper ball joints. When I took it to the Ford garage they indicated this is a common failure. My concern is that the failure mechanism if the upper ball joint fails is for the wheel to fold under the vehicle and potentially rupture the brake lines in the process. They indicated this failure would be worse while pulling a trailer. I contacted Ford motor company and they offered no explanation or assistance as the truck is off warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10351500, filed 2010-08, 22,000 miles“The coil spring on the driver's side strut broke which appears to be a well documented reliability problem on the f150 trucks. The mechanic said that this failure always happens on the drivers side and the spring breakage is always in the same spot. The id tag on the part was u 4l34 5310- but the rest was not legible.”
NHTSA complaint #10811802, filed 2015-12, 97,000 miles“Both front suspension springs found to be broken during routine inspection, heard one break a month ago but didn't identify the source of the break until recently. One broken spring was hanging below the shock, which could have caused a complete failure of the suspension on the right hand side.”
