STEERING

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HIT A SMALL BUMP AT 65MPH AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART. HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES NOW AND TO MY PREGNANT WIFE 3 TIMES IN ONE TRIP! VERY SCARY AND A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AT 60MPH+ OR ANY SPEED REALLY.

STEERING

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE BACK ROAD AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH, AND MY TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF STEERING. I WENT INTO THE ONCOMING LANE, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING, AND HAD TO HIT MY BRAKES HARD TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 35-40 ON A CITY STREET AND 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. THE WOBBLE WAS SO BAD THAT IT LOOSENED THE TRACK BAR AND THE BOLT HOLDING THE POWER STEERING HARD LINE. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING FLUID WITHIN SECONDS. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT, TRIED REPLACING SEVERAL PARTS, LIKE TIE-RODS, AND IT HAS LESSENED A LITTLE BIT, BUT IF I HIT A BUMPY ROAD OR EVEN JUST A PATCH OF NEW PAVEMENT, IT STARTS SHAKING. I HAVE READ A LOT OF OTHER FORD OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR TRUCKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

VEHICLE STALL/DIE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE DIES, UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND NO POWER AT ALL. HAVE A RECALL NUMBER 05S34, BUT FORD DEALERSHIP WON'T REPAIR IT BECAUSE MY VIN ISN'T ON RECALL. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

ENGINE

THE HEAD BOLTS HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT, WHICH FORD FILED A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE ENGINE MANUFACTURE NOVASTAR FOR AND WON. THIS DEFECT/WEAKNESS CAN CAUSE THE BOLTS TO FAIL/BREAK CAUSING MANY COMPONENTS TO BECOME DAMAGED. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY TO THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL BECAUSE ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ALL OF THE 6.0 DIESEL ENGINES IN THIS YEAR/MODEL ARE AFFECTED.

WHEELS

THIS HAS TO DO WITH 19.5" WHEELS MANUFACTURED BY VISION WHEEL,SPECIFICALLY WHEEL # 81A-9770MBO. ON THE BACK OF THE WHEEL THERE IS A RELIEF MACHINED AROUND EACH LUG HOLE THAT IS ABOUT 1/8"DEEP X 3/4" IN DIA. WHETHER THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN OR A FLAW I AM NOT SURE,BUT PREVIOUS WHEELS OF THE SAME MODEL NO. DO NOT HAVE THIS AND ARE FLAT ON THE BACK. SHOULD THE LUGS NUTS BE OVER TIGHTENED IT CRACKS THE RIM AROUND THE LUG HOLE AND STARTS TO PULL THROUGH. I FOUND THIS SHORTLY AFTER I GOT MY TRUCK BACK FROM THE TIRE SHOP AND WAS LOOKING AT THE NEW WHEELS.IT IS NOT READILY NOTICEABLE AND WAS JUST LUCK THAT I SAW IT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME A WHEEL IS TAKEN OFF FOR SOME SERVICE OR ANOTHER. IF THE WHEEL LUG NUTS GET OVER TORQUED THIS OCCURS. THESE WHEELS ARE USED PRIMARILY BY PEOPLE THAT CARRY HEAVY LOADS AS THE 19.5 TIRES AFFORD BETTER STABILITY. SHOULD SOMEONE NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF LOOSING A TIRE. THIS COULD BE RESOLVED SIMPLY BY NOT MACHINING THE BACK OF THE WHEEL AS WAS NOTED ABOVE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A HAZARD. CONTACT INFO CAN BE OBTAINED HERE: HTTP://WWW.VISIONWHEEL.COM/CONTACT.CFM

ENGINE

APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT (96,450) THE VEHICLE HAD A LACK OF TOWING POWER. I TOOK IT TO FORD, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE EGR COOLER AND OIL COOLER. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY 6.0 LITER DIESEL. HE STATED THEY UPDATED THE COOLERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM (PRETTY MUCH ADMITTING THAT THEY DID NOT BUILD IT RIGHT). I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON THERE IS NO RECALL. $4,730.78 LATER, MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED. ALTHOUGH I DO TOW WITH THE VEHICLE (THAT'S WHAT ITS MADE FOR), I BABY THE VEHICLE. I DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 (RECOMMENDED AT 5000) AND CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER 2 TIMES A YEAR (RECOMMENDED EVERY 12,000). THREE YEARS LATER AND ONLY 16,000 MILES LATER (113,239) THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAD A LACK OF POWER. I TOOK IT TO FORD AGAIN, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EGR COOLER, OIL COOLER, AND HEAD GASKETS. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I JUST HAD THE EGR COOLER AND OIL COOLER REPLACED, BUT IT WAS OUT OF THE REPAIR WARRANTY. HE SAID ALL OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. $7,937 (DISCOUNTED) AND TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. MY FAMILY HAS USED FORD DIESEL TRUCKS FOR YEARS AND NORMALLY GET 250,000 OUT OF THEM BEFORE ANY MAJOR REPAIRS. FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT LIKE THEY USED TO. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD.

I HAVE A 2005, CREW CAB, SHORT BED, 6.0 DIESEL F-350. WHEN DRIVING AT 55-75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I PASSED A SMALL BUMP TRIGGERING A RIGOROUS SHAKING OF THE FRONT END.

STEERING

DRIVING ST HIGHWAY SPEED (50-55MPH) I RAN OVER THREE SMALL BUMPS IN SUCCESSION, THE STEERING WHEEL WENT INTO A VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING AND I EXPERIENCED A SEVERE AND VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK. I MANAGED TO SLOW THE TRUCK AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I GOT OUT AND INSPECTED THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY DAMAGE. I COULD SEE NONE SO I DROVE CAREFULLY BACK ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK SEEMED TO DRIVE OK FROM THAT POINT ON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FRONT END ALIGNMENT SHOP AND HAD THE FRONT END AND SUSPENSION CHECKED. THEY SAID IT ALL LOOKED GOOD, BUT AFTER THAT ABOUT A MONTH LATER I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SAME DEAL, I HIT A SUCCESSION OF SMALL BUMPS , THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE, VIOLENT SHAKING AND OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE BERM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL BACK OUT INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. THESE F-350'S ARE A DEATH TRAP ! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
