I was merging onto an express lane ramp on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at approximately 10:10PM the rear end of my truck started vibrating; I thought I had a knot on a tire, so my plan was to take the next exit to check all tires. As I merge onto the express lane, literally approximately 1 mile from the beginning of the ramp and the uncontrollable vibrating, I hear a lot of noise (I.e. clanking and beating). My truck RPM increased, but my speed did not. I coasted over to the shoulder to check my truck out. All tires were still inflated. I looked underneath and found my rear drive shaft laying on the ground. It had came loose from the front drive shaft. I had it towed to diesel mechanic shop the next day. They diagnosed as my rear axle suspension is cracked. I have the 4.10 rear axle on my truck.
While driving catalytic converter heats up and starts leaking black liquid on sensor wires and smoking real bad with a burning smell.
After 70mph the rear end vibrates constantly. This happened on the expressway. It appears to be coming from the back wheels.

I have a 2017 ford f-350 super duty. Over the last two months I have had two situations during acceleration on a highway where the vehicle almost shakes/vibrates apart on the front end. I have reported the issue to ford two times now. When it first occurred in nov 2019 with 19k miles on it, they told me they never heard of this issue. When it happened again on the 29th of december I took it back into the dealer and mentioned that I almost lost control of the truck and the wife refuses to drive it on a highway. They admitted there is an issue. Either my truck or their design is unsafe. Massive wobble/vehicle vibration - if I was in a corner I would have been in an accident.
Flex plate and converter failure. Driving down the road, when suddenly the transmission shifted from 3 into 6th gear with a load bang. I drove straight to the dealership, explained the issue. They called and said the converter had failed. The truck has 61,800 miles, na the ford dealership has services the truck since it was new in their shop. The drive train on the converter and flex plate is 60,000 miles. After doing much research, the flex plate starts to go out which in turn affects the torque conventer. The tale tale sign is when the starter engages it miss hits or grinds a little. Which started approximately 5 months ago (today is 8/21/19), which would put the issue well within warranty. Ive also found a service bulletin through the federal safety agency (10160931) with a manufacturer's communication number of: ssm 47976. After several talks with the dealership, they have turned in a complaint, however, they want me the consumer to pay over $2,000.00 for manufacturers defective failure I hope this get resolved so other do not get taken advantage of by ford motor company, this will be my last one. After doing some research, I
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f-350. While accelerating from a stop, the middle and rear sections of the vehicle vibrated severely.

The vehicle was taken to crystal ford (located at 2440 nw, us-19, crystal river, fl 34428, (352) 795-7371) where it was diagnosed that the driveshaft was too long, the carrier bearing needed to be lowered, and the rear end needed to be shimmied done for the differential pinion angle.

Experienced heavy osculation at 25k miles. At 26k miles the truck will go into a "death wobble" at speeds over 60 MPH. Any time I hit a bump in the road at speeds about 60 MPH the truck violently shakes and it's very difficult to maintain control of the vehicle. This is a huge safety concern. Took the truck in to get it repaired under the warranty. The dealership was very familiar with the death wobble. The track bar was on backorder; however, I found one available at another dealership. I drove there, picked it up and took it to there dealership who fixed the truck the first. Got the truck back several days later. At 31/32k miles, it started to do the osculation/vibration and steering wheel shake when I hit any bump on the road/rough patch at speeds over 60 MPH. Took the truck back to the shop at 33k miles after it did the death wobble and I almost lost control of the truck. The dealership fixed it a second time. The same day I picked it up on the second attempt to fix it, I was driving home and it did the death wobble again. It was like a mini-death wobble with a very heavy osculation, shaking and vibration when I hit a rough patch at 60 MPH or greater. The truck is now back in the shop and waiting for the third repair. The death wobble occurs at speeds usually over 60 MPH on the freeway or any country roads. It has happened a few times at about 55 MPH. Driving in town it doesn't do it at lower speeds (40-45) unless you hit a very big bump/pot hole/rough patch.
