NHTSA complaint #11300513, filed 2020-01, 200,000 miles“The front suspension wobbles very bad when going 40-60 miles over a small uneven pavement. Just replaced the tires and got an alignment. Still having the same problem, I'm not able to drive my truck cause it wobbles so bad that I have to completely stop for the wobbling to stop. I purchased my truck new and now has 92k and had never been in an accident or after market tires or parts. I have always kept it with genuine parts don't know the problem and need help.”
NHTSA complaint #11203415, filed 2019-04, 92,000 miles“Shimmy in front end forces loss of steering control. Shimmy occurs at speeds over 50 MPH. Has nothing to do with tire pressure, contrary to Ford motor company claims. This is a problem with the front end steering design and should be reviewed in greater detail by the NHTSA and fixed with more than a letter from Ford telling me to check the air pressure in my tires. Air pressure is perfect and the problem still exists.”

We have experienced violent shaking (shimmying) when the truck hits a bump on the highway and as a result, extreme difficulty maintaining the vehicle on the road. Our first experience was in august 2015, on the interstate highway while travelling at 75mp. We hit a bump and the truck / steering wheel shook violently for about 10 seconds causing us to swerve across lanes and struggle to keep the truck in the lane and out of traffic's way. …”
