Death wobble! dealership has replaced ball joint, bushing, new tires, some connecting rod ' still happens!!! this is going to kill me or somebody!!! it happens at 70 mph and above. this is all over the internet ' ford knows about it; they just haven't fixed it.
Death wobble, vehicle begin to shake uncontrollably until slowed down, on highway.
The vehicle has an excessive wobble also known as the death wobble when you hit any slight imperfections in the road or sometimes on newer paved roads. the vehicle goes into a sudden loss of control state and you must slow down to 20 mph before you can recover the loss of control. the vehicle has been returned to ford and i have spent over $2400.00 replacing front end parts and tires with slight improvements. the death wobble is still occurring and is highly dangerous while driving especially on the interstate or heavy traffic at higher speeds in excess of 35 mph.
Started my f1 50 with the remote control when i put it in reverse the back glass shattered this is the second time this is happened that it cost me $500 deductible each time
I would like to know why ford has not recalled the plastic oil pan due to seal failure and returning back to steel pan on newer models. this a continuing problem noted on numerous internet posts. my 2011 ford f-250 lariat 4x4 is leaking oil and now has to be replaced, costing a lot of money for labor and oil replacement which should not be necessary for a vehicle with only 135,000 miles drive time.
Pulling my fifth wheel trailer up a hill at 50mph the engine just shut down very abruptly. no alarms or lights that i saw. after letting it sit for a minute or so, put it in park and it restarted, oil temp at 240, trans: temp at 201. first time this has happened. a little over 50,000 miles.
Driving east bound on the 91 freeway in the diamond lane i drove over a roadway imperfection. as soon as i hit it with my left front tire the vehicle made a violent motion to the left almost causing me to strike the center divider. this happened several other times before i returned the vehicle to the dealer to have it checked (12/16/2010). by this time, striking an imperfection with either front tire caused the vehicle to move laterally, left or right. after several visits to the ford dealer without remedy, a ford engineer was summoned for a test drive. we drove the vehicle to a spot i consistently have the problem and it violently pulled to the left when the front left tire hit the spot (transition road: 405 freeway to the northbound 710 freeway). both the engineer and the service manager were in the vehicle at that time and both felt what i was complaining about. later that same day i was looking at a ford fusion with my son and the ford engineer drove into the lot in a new ford super duty 4x4 that he had driven to that same location. he told me and my son that the new vehicle did the same thing and he would report back to ford so that they could do something about it. i was later contacted by the ford manager and told that my problem was within fords tolerance for the vehicle. he also told me i could probably go over to the four wheel drive parts store and purchase something that might help with the problem. i continue to have this problem but it appears to be getting worse. even my friends who drive with me complain about this issue telling me i need to do something about it. this past week i contacted ford again via their fix-it hot line and spoke with one of their representatives who looked into my complaint (he spoke with the ford manager and ford engineer). today he advised me the problem was normal for the vehicle. anyone else complaining? *tr
