2004 ford f-150, vibration problem: truck bed and steering wheel vibrated.
Have a 2004 f150 xl supercab. Have experienced several occasions where where truck would begin to shake violently. Speed does not seem to be a factor as it has occured when driving 30mph, as well as highway speeds. The "violent vibration" can last anywhere from 10 seconds to 15 minutes." vibration will then suddenly stop. Brought the truck in for service, repair technician could not recreate problem. When the truck was hooked up to the computer no errors appeared. Was told "sorry nothing we can do, because the problem did not appear when in for service." was told the next time the problem happens drive right into the service dept. Problem is I am never anywhere near the dealer, or the service department is closed whenever this problem happens. I am very unhappy, annoyed and frustrated.
Vibration in steering wheel. Replaced front/rear rotors, rack and pinion, steering gear and balanced all tires. *bf steering vibration at hwy speeds. Steering shakes when braking. *tc

I have notified the dealership each time and the have not been able to fix it either.

I purchased a ford f150 new in january of 2004. At approx 4000 miles the vehicle developed a loud whine in the rear axle.differential. The dealer replaced the gears in the differential and the whine disappeared. Shortly after, the vehicle developed a vibration that occurred at around 45-55 MPH, worse at just over 50. The dealer replaced the entire rear axle assembly but the problem persists. I was told by the service manager that this is a problem with all these trucks and there is no fix. I am very dissatisfied with this truck.
The emission light came on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and consumer was told that fuel pump was defective. The gauge went out of control. After filling the tank, the gauge read empty. *ak the brake light wiring was inoperative, alignment was out, the vehicle had stuck in park, the right passenger door was inoperative, the speedometer read wrong, and the vehicle would die out.
I have a 2004 f150 and am having the same problem as most others here. I have a bad vibration that was starting at 42 MPH and is now happening at all speeds all the time. The dealer has rebalanced the tires, put on a vibration damper and also has replaced all 4 tires and wheels as a set all to no avail. The dealer I bought the truck from has been going out of their way to try to help me, but like me they are getting very frustrated as ford is not doing much if anything to try to fix it. I am now going to be seeing a ford engineer on sept 20th about the problem. So far nothing has been done to fix it. Fords engineer says it is a characteristic of the tires and that I should live with it. I don't think so. I have been to my dealer 5 times for this problem.
