Example complaints

“I was traveling down the highway in a straight smooth lane and out of know where the truck started shaking violently this was a scary experience I slowed down as quickly as I could to try to stop it but it took a bit to stop shaking I purchased this truck new and have not had any accidents anything like that”
NHTSA complaint #11301197, filed 2020-01, 14,650 miles“I constantly have a problem with the tires going flat because of leaking valve stems I have had this problem before about 6 times in 18000 miles that they have replaced the valve stems because of corrosion and they claimed that it is not a problem but a lot of people have had this problem”
NHTSA complaint #11362364, filed 2020-10, 18,000 miles“When driving down the highway the truck will start to shake otherwise know as the death wobble. This has happened 4 times. Took it into the dealer and they told me I need new tires and need a new steering damper per TSB-19-2392. They said it would be 400.00 for the part. My ruck is under warranty and I purchased the Ford protection plan. This is not safe for us to drive. It shakes uncontrollable at freeway speeds”
NHTSA complaint #11291563, filed 2019-12, 25,843 miles“My truck has the death wobble.. Started at 15k miles. Front sterring dampener has been replaced 2 times already and getting the 3rd one done today..truck now has 36k miles and am getting scared to drive her.. Small bumps in the road cause the truck to shake violently until I get to a complete stop...very dangerous when on the highway...also believe that this problem has caused issues with my tires as well as other suspension issues”
NHTSA complaint #11278207, filed 2019-11, 15,000 miles“I own a 2018 f 350 dual rear wheel pickup. I have had leaking tires/rims for several months now. My own research has shown this to be a continuing problem and have had the truck to the dealer several times without resolution. Two of the tires still leak a lot and 2 of the tires leak slower. The inner two rear wheels do not leak likely because they are steel rims, and not the aluminum ones connected to a steel TPMS sensor that causes corrosion.”
