Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10821061, filed 2016-01, 60,000 miles“While traveling on the highway if I hit any bumps while taking a curve my steering wheel and tire shakes violently until I slow down and straighten out the suspension. This has happend several times and I have check to make sure my tires are properly inflated.”
NHTSA complaint #10469532, filed 2012-08, 35,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11139112, filed 2018-10, 61,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10427851, filed 2011-09, 5,000 miles“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. …”
