“Vehicle hit a pothole on interstate 75 north near dalton georgia at approximately 65 miles per hour. The front right wheel and front end violently shook and the steering wheel shook so bad control of the f350 became an issue. I was unable to control the vehicle until I slowed to below 20 miles per hour. The incident presented a very serious safety issue”
NHTSA complaint #11374935, filed 2020-11, 61,000 miles“When driving on a highway and hitting a pot hole, the front end of the truck shakes violently until the speed of the truck is reduced to almost a stop. This is obviously dangerous because, not only do I loose control temporarily, but the cars behind me can hit me. Many people on line have expressed the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10585052, filed 2014-04, 40,000 miles“The truck violently started shaking after hitting several small bumps in road. Almost lost control of truck. In order for shaking to stop I had to slow truck down to 25 MPH. I almost was rear ended by a truck following me. The shake feels like the front wheels are about to come off. This has happened almost a dozen times since the truck was bought new.”
NHTSA complaint #10486413, filed 2012-11, 8,700 miles“The vehicle is shaking terrible at 50 maybe 60 MPH can't tel exactly because I was scared .I got new tires and is still doing same. I was on hwy 83 toward scott city ks.”
NHTSA complaint #11413688, filed 2021-04, 176,113 miles“When traveling usually at highway speeds and I come to a difference in surfaces a slight difference in the road say going over an overpass, the stearing wheel shakes violently. On you tube there are hundreds of videos about this problem. Its very dangerous, I left the dealership today and after spending $1,300 to repair the problem I can only assume that this will be a year or two fix as the same parts will fail again. Ford should solve this problem.”
