Driving down interstate 85 at 65mph passing a vehicle and all the sudden truck starts to violently shake, making it nearly impossible to control until we got below 30 mph. felt as if tires were going to fall off or we were going to loose control.
Traveling at various speeds the truck front vibrate violently. i have to pull off the road and stop to get the vibration to stop. the tires have been balanced and rebalanced. the vehicle is still in the stock configuration. i have approximately 140k miles now.
The brake shift interlock acuator does not work in my 2012 ford f250. i found this out the hard way when my 8 year old son hit the shifter and the truck rolled backwards with him in it. i was taking groceries out of my truck and i had the keys in my pocket thinking there is nothing he can do that would make the truck move. luckily i was able to jump into the moving vehicle and hit the brake with my hand. the whole incident was recorded on my home security camera. it was a very scary situation that could've gone really bad but thankfully it didn't. i found this article online (https://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/12/recall-alert-2011-ford-f-150-2012-ford-f-250-f-350-f-450-f-550.html) and its stating that there was a recall on this part but only for trucks that were built between 9/9-9/22 of that year. mine was built 3/12 but i find it far too hard to believe that there shouldn't be a recall on my vehicle also. i contacted ford motor corporation and they seem to have no concerns about my current situation. i believe something this dangerous should be taken care of by them. to me its not about the money but it is about the principle of how there could be a possibility of death caused by this. my truck only has 46,000 miles on it and i believe that is way under the average milage for a vehicle of that age. hopefully i can get some guidance from you guys in which to take my next step in getting my situation resolved. thank you.

The security system goes off at random, since i bought the truck. shop says. nothing wrong .... i beg to differ, i can be inside a store, keys in purse and alarm goes off and no one around truck. or at home in bed at 2 or 4 am and it goes off. no one around truck keys on counter. i always lock my truck no matter where i'm at, but i have to find my keys and unlock it then relock to reset the alarm. it's annoying and im sure insurance would look twice on covering a vehicle that security doesn't work correctly. it like crying wolf wolf i'm afraid my truck will actually be stolen one day. then who do i blame?? ford? this is a random problem but continuous . please do somthing. not sure what documentation to send other than witnesses.
Takata recall my security alarm goes off at random any time day or night when parked in driveway. no ryme of reason why. nothing around truck, 0r touching it. day or night. when locked which its always locked if im not in it. no photoes, but i do have witnesses.
We were travelling thru new mexico on our way home to arizona when we felt a vibration in the front end. having experienced a separated cord in one of our tires in may of 2015 at 15,000 miles (several months earlier), we suspected a tire. we pulled off at a rest stop but could not see a problem. we went 50 miles further at a reduced rate of speed to get ourselves off the road and near a service facility. we pulled off the road and checked the tires again and discovered a raised area in the right front tire, similar to the tire that failed at 15,0000 miles. the second tire to separate has about 23,000 miles on it. i am beginning to seriously question the quality and safety of continental tires on our f-250. had we not been aware of the possibility of a failed tire and had not pulled off the road, we could have experienced a blowout and a serious accident. when the first tire was separated we asked the dealer to replace all of the tires as we suspected they were all made in the same lot/batch. the dealer would not replace them and so we took a chance that the rest were ok (these are all tires that were on the vehicle when we purchased it new two years ago). seems there was a similar flaw on the f-250 tires in 2008/2009 . lawyers say it is the manufacturer's fault: tire defects are due to perhaps most commonly, ineffective adhesion, usually as a result of the glues age or poor bonding of tire components during the manufacturing process. when tires are being made, moisture, impurities, and other foreign materials are capable of entering the mix and get cured into the tire. tire manufacturers have known about these types of problems for years, but have failed to correct them, or to use better designs less prone to failure, like improving skin stock, which can better bond rubber to the steel.
Jan 01 2015 i was driving to work 6am, when the engine light went on a message read " pull over now safely", i pull to the side along the freeway the truck shut down. i had to call into to work to advise i won't be in and called a tow truck. i had to pay out of pocket for a tow into folsom lake ford. the service advisor told me it was a bad sensor all four should be replaced. i called my wife she investigated egt recall on fords, i told the service advisor of recall he said there is no recall. my wife escalated the call to ford customer service dept. she spoke with [xxx] he confirmed the recall and gave her a reference number, level 2 customer service told her the dealership noted it's the calibration and we can't upgrade that for you. the call escalated to regional supervisor tjx he said nothing he can do and i'll have to pay for repairs out of pocket. my husband paid the repair bill. on 02/02/2015 we received a recall letter for emission recall 14e03 catalyst reduction system update for improvement including reduced temperature sensor faults and improved drivability. so basically the egt sensor runs off this computer system telling the sensor the truck is over heating. this stranded my husband on the side of the road, now ford refuses to reimburse use the repairs and towing. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
There is no way to secure rear facing infant child seat into vehicle. no clips or rings to attach the carrier to. seatbelt alone is not sufficient. infant carrier is equipped with clips on both sides to attach to secure rings at base of seat. my ford focus has clips for three rear facing sears. why not the truck? *tr
