Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Going along around 55 to 60 MPH and run across very mild bump and the front wheels will begin to shimmy so bad it jerks the steering wheel back and forth. I have to hit the brakes and slow way down to get it to stop shaking. It is very dangerous feeling and is not tire pressure like Ford claims.”
NHTSA complaint #10514037, filed 2013-05, 120,000 miles“Electronic throttle control (drive by wire) fails intermittently. Engine goes to idle with absolutely no response to the throttle pedal while driving. Pedal assembly has been replaced twice and the PCM once. Vehicle has less than 1500 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10177084, filed 2006-12, 1,400 miles“Truck randomly has the notorious death wobble when going over bumps. It shakes violently and i have to slow down or stop. Tried to have it diagnosed by mechanic several times with no outcome, this is when I researched and found out a lot of ford trucks have this issue. Is it a severe safety issue and with the outrageous price of trucks, I can not buy a new one. Ford should have recalled this a long time ago”
