“While driving down I-75 I noticed my husbands front tires wobbling and shaking uncontrollably on 3 different occasions in less than 30 miles. This is not the first time this has happened. We have had the truck serviced many times trying to fix the issue but it still persists. This is something Ford should be held responsible for. It is putting our lives and others in danger.”
NHTSA complaint #11406383, filed 2021-04, 121,000 miles“Starts wobbling (shaking) uncontrollably sideways & up and down when I am driving above 65 miles an hours over uneven roads and I hit a mild bump in the road. Only stops wobbling when I am able to get the truck to slow down below 60 miles a hour. Started happening 3 months ago. Has been happening much more frequently recently.”
NHTSA complaint #11362626, filed 2020-10, 64,000 miles“Driving south on texas highway 71 from austin tx, just south of smithville texas my steering began to violently shake and cause me to lose control of my steering. I was able to bring the truck to a stop. This was a very freighting experience for me and my wife.”
NHTSA complaint #11353425, filed 2020-09, 116,000 miles“Coming back from a trip on I-10 driving highway speed I hit a small pot hole. The truck jump to the right, almost lost it. This has happened a number of times. Spoke with dealer, they stated to let some air out of the tires. At this point and time I have not let any air out. I feel it has something to do with the suspension.”
NHTSA complaint #10627327, filed 2014-08, 1,200 miles“I recently bought this truck like 4 or 5 months ago. I was on a back road nm185 going 55 and all of a sudden the truck started shaking uncontrollably and I couldn't steer it. The truck went into the other lane. Thankfully I was able to get control back before a vehicle was in front of us in the other lane. It was a very close call and extremely scary. I had children in the truck that were especially scared. We went 40 the rest of the way home without more issues. …”
