“While driving my 08 Ford f250 sd, I experience severe shimmy going over a bump in the road or small dip. More noticeable when going about 45 and I hit a bump and the wheel jerks and throws the truck what feels like feet. I have not replaced any parts yet nor have I spoken with the dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10690980, filed 2015-02, 71,000 miles“Both front wheels on my 2008 Ford king ranch f-250 pick-up are cracking and need to be replaced. The cracks are in the weld area on the flat part of the wheel under the tires causing the tires to no longer hold air. Ford customer service claims the problem is mine since the truck recently surpassed warranty mileage however I am certain this is a serious safety issue. The wheels are ready to come apart and could have caused a serious accident . If the tires had not begun to lose air I would have never known they were cracking. …”
NHTSA complaint #10311622, filed 2010-02, 114,000 miles“18 rims on Ford f-250sd replaced in aug. 2009 with same style rim. Outer cover separates from rim. Now, oct. 2010, same problem, need to be replaced again. Only thing holding the glued covers on were the wheel weights. Rim covers could of flew off truck at any time. Ford is willing to compromise and help out (after contacting dealer president) but still have to pay money to upgrade to aluminum rims. Don't see why I have to pay anything for an obvious Ford defect. Like I stated before this is the second time in a year.”
