Truck is almost 2 years old. 25,000 miles on the vehicle. Experienced death wobble when braking ever so slightly above 45 miles an hour. Experienced death wobble on the highway doing approximately 65 miles an hour, had to slow down and change lanes while holding the steering wheel with both hands and slow down to approximately 25 miles an hour in order to get the wobble to stop. First time experiencing the death wobble, took the vehicle into my local dealership paul clark ford in your florida and was told that the rotor had a hotspot on it. Was told the only solution would be to resurface the rotors. After reading numerous complaints about the same exact issue with the same exact year and model vehicle, I believe that this is more of the recall issue then a sporadic issue. This is going to cause an accident and may cause someone in their life

Tl* the contact owned a 2017 ford f-250. While attempting to tow a boat out of the water, the contact applied the emergency brake. Suddenly, the vehicle popped out of gear and backed into the water. The failure previously occurred twice before and the vehicle was taken to sunrise ford (5435 us-1, fort pierce, fl 34982, (772) 461-6000). The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure at the time. The vehicle was totaled because of the water damage and the contact settled with his insurance company. The dealer refused to inspect the vehicle even though it was towed to them after the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, provided a case number, and stated that they would provide a written response in a few weeks. The vehicle was under warranty. The failure mileage was 11,600. ..*bf consumer no longer has the vehicle.
In order to drive straight, the steering wheel had to be turned 90 degrees right. During this event, the brake warning light illuminated, the traction control warning light light illuminated, the ABS warning light illuminated, and the service engine light illuminated all at the same time. In addition, the display screen gave 'collision avoidance system unavailable' error message. I immediately and slowly drove to a ford dealership. When I parked it at the dealership, the condition I described above still existed. Ford advised that the issue corrected itself and the technicians only found code u3000. They could not duplicate the issue. Ford closed the issue as 'unable to duplicate' despite it being a huge public safety risk if this condition repeats while at highway speed carrying a load. This could result in a death or serious bodily injury.
Tl* the contact owned a 2017 ford f-250. While driving 50 MPH, the vehicle caught fire at the bottom of the engine and the brakes failed. The fire department extinguished the fire. There were no injuries. A police report was not filed and the vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company and was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000. *tt consumer stated insurance company determined defective wiring caused the fire both the truck and camper were a total loss.
While traveling at 35-40 MPH in a turn lane, a vehicle moved into my lane from a shopping center between 2 cars stopped in the non-turn lanes who were waiting for the light ahead of them to change. This required me to make an emergency stop. The truck's ABS system failed to initiate and the wheels did not lock up. Luckily, I managed to avoid hitting the errant vehicle. I took the truck to the dealer for service the following day and complained about the lack of ABS. They kept the truck, test drove it and returned it to me with the notation that the truck's brakes are "normal." I questioned why the ABS didn't engage and was told that the weight of the truck precludes this from happening. Same reason for the lack of the wheels locking up. The service adviser furthermore stated that "that this was the way are engineered." if this is true, then there is a serious problem with all super duty fords out there and I might add all lighter trucks loaded anywhere close to their gvwr.
2017 ford f250 supercrew diesel. Driving 40mph or faster on highway and run over any type of uneven surface truck shakes and steering wheel vibrates uncontrollably! It first happened when I was hauling my horses and I thought I was going to wreck with trailer in tow! I bought this truck brand new and have never been off roading or anything crazy that should ever make the suspension do that kind of shaking! It was horrific! Please issue a recall and fix this problem!
I just purchased a new 2017 vehicle from tom masano and they have been hounding me to come back to them for a recall and they are 2 hrs away from where I live. I just had a new baby and this is a huge logistical issue with working too now. Plus driving the new vehicle down there would be additional wear and tear on the truck, even if they offered to drive it down there. I did some further research as it did not make sense to me as to why I was being told I had to bring in a vehicle to their dealership and I discovered that tom masano ford is in violation of the motor vehicle safety act enforced by the national highway and traffic safety administration (the federal safety agency). The dealership can be subject to fines by the federal safety agency for selling vehicles without properly fixing recalls, like this one that was released on april 1st prior to when we bought the vehicle (purchased in july). Our family has been at risk for weeks. It also sounds like they are trying to cover it up by not "marking the vehicle as sold in ford's inventory" until this problem has been corrected- which they stated will prevent me from getting it serviced locally. I am assuming they haven't marked it out of inventory yet because they don't get in trouble legally or with ford- as I am sure this is not one of their best practices and they would be alarmed to know this is occurring. I have this documented in voicemails and emails them telling me I have to go to them only to get this taken care of. I finally called a local dealer myself to properly have the issue taken care of, but they delayed this with bad information for over a week. The recall was for the truck rolling while in park.
Trailer brake controller the factory trailer brake controller is not working properly when a trailer with electric service brakes is properly connected to the truck. The controller has about a 30 second delay and does not push enough electricity to the trailer brakes to engage them fully. This results in longer stopping distance for the truck and trailer combination, possible brake failure for the truck due to overloading of the brakes which, could result in an accident. I have had my trailer brakes checked by a professional. They are performing as they are designed to. I have contacted my ford dealer and he assures me that my factory controller is working as it should. I do not believe them. I still have a trailer that is not getting enough electricity to apply the brakes.
