2007 Ford F-250 steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Going along around 55 to 60 MPH and run across very mild bump and the front wheels will begin to shimmy so bad it jerks the steering wheel back and forth. I have to hit the brakes and slow way down to get it to stop shaking. It is very dangerous feeling and is not tire pressure like ford claims.
High speed wheel oscillation occurred while driving the speed limit of interstate 275 around cincinnati, ohio. I hit a bump on the exit of the interstates bridge and the steering wheel shook really bad left and right. I had received a letter last year warning me about this condition. I did not think I had a problem with this truck until this happened. I was lucky that I did not crash this vehicle when the oscillation occurred. I researched this on the internet and several other owners for the f250 have had the same problem. Ford needs to fix this problem before someone gets killed! *tr
After hitting a bump in the road, while driving approximately 55 MPH, the front end the truck started shaking causing a temporary loss of control. The truck has done this on numerous occasions after hitting bumps, pot holes or uneven surfaces.
Running interstate going on bridge in curve an little crack in road made truck start shaking violently. Making me have to come to complete stop before it would quit shaking throwing stuff all around inside truck.
Hit a bump on interstate truck started shaking violently, I almost caused an accident and had to slow down to about 40 or it was going to shake me off the road, I could barely hold on, brought is it to the dealer and they said it was tire pressure, which was about 70lbs not the recommeded 75, come on that is not the problem. It is still doing it years later, wnet back to the dealer they said it was a brake hanging up and ripped me off for parts, still does it. I have now put on tires tie rod ends ball joints steering dampener, shocks and still does it. I know I'm not the only one. Make them fix this and compensate those of us who have tried to do so on our own because they won't accept that there is a problem.
My 2007 ford f250, superduty 4x4, harley davidson edition (all stock), experienced extreme cavitation, or wobble, and violent shaking to the steering and front suspension after encountering a mild series of bumps while traveling about 50mph. This has occurred on 3 occasions. I have read 100's upon 100's of complaints online about this same problem with several different year model ford trucks. I have taken my truck in to the ford dealership and ford has even admitted to the problem being with a design flaw and even has a correction for it that includes a newly designed bracket, relocating some steering components, and new specs for the front end alignment, but wants to charge me $1700.00 for the repair(or redesign). Unbelievable!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford f-250. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle began to shake violently. The failure would recur intermittently. The vehicle was serviced by an authorized dealer on numerous occasions where the gear box and steering column were replaced. The failure continued to recur intermittently and the vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The failure continued to recur when driving between 40-60 MPH. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 26,000 and the current mileage was 60,000.
When driving my ford f-250 45 MPH and over and hitting any kind of bump the front end shakes severely. The brakes when applied will stop the shaking. The damper was replaced but it did not help. If the bump and the speed was great enough it would cause you to crash. The truck has 38,000 mi. And the dealer tells me there is no recall and it is not under warranty. I plan on taking it to an independent front end specialist to diagnose the problem.
Ea08007 complaint truck hits uneven paved road at 55 MPH or faster on the freeway, and starts a violent shaking that is only stopped when slowing down via heavy braking, or by no acceleration. Entire truck and all four wheels, including the steering wheel shake violently.
