Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2004 F250 has developed the Death Wobble that is normally associated with newer models, but the shudder at or around 40-45mph is identical to the described problems of the newer models in the class action lawsuit and tech bulletins published by Ford. Older models need to be considered in the tech bulletins, customer satisfaction programs, and fixed by ford despite being 1 year older than the current guidelines.”
NHTSA complaint #11673871, filed 2025-07“While turning right or left consumer heard a loud popping noise coming from the front. Suddenly, the vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem.”
