Upon inspection of this vehicle,our mechanic found the automatic dipstick tube rusted in half on the right side of the engine. At the bracket that bolts to the exhaust manifold. We believe this to be a potential fire /safety hazard if some one was to fill or check the transmission while the engine is hot. We also found the right side shock tower severely degraded because of rust. The top of the tower has large pieces of rust scale on top of the tower that we feel could possibly allow the coil spring pressure to fracture the steel and cause a loss of steering. I have not seen this much corrosion on a truck this new. We have taken pictures and can be e-mailed if needed. This vehicle has been removed from service until it can be repaired. This is a city of allentown ,pa fleet vehicle.
2008 Ford F-350 suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle shakes violently. Only way to get under control is to stop completely. This has happened numerous times. I have read on forums this is a major problem. Ford needs to recognize the problem and issue a recall. This is very dangerous.
I have a 2008 ford f-350 4x4 that is experiencing a bad wobble when I hit a bump in the road or turning in a curve with uneven pavement. The problem occurs around 45 or 50 MPH this is a very scary situation. I did some research on the topic and I see alot of ford owners with the same complaint, but ford wont do anything about solving the problem. I don't know who to turn to. These trucks are expensive and I expect to get what I paid for not this. Help me out!!!!! Please!
I have two 2008 ford f-350 superduty 4x4 trucks. One truck has 39000 miles and the other 61000 miles. At highway speeds, after hitting uneven road surface or bumps, they begin to shimmy and shake so bad that I have to pull over to get it to quit I have had the trucks in numerous times to fix but the problem always returns. I received notice from ford that low tire pressure causes this but I maintain correct tire pressure in both of my trucks so I know this is not the problem. I have been researching this online and there is a company called wcmotorsports that claims to know why these trucks are doing this and the solution. Their website is www.superdutywobble.com. Their phone number is (508) 668-8638. They seem very knowledgeable about this issue. The problem is the replacement part to fix this is $825. I feel that this should be a recall issue. After looking online, many people have this problem. I have not modified these trucks in anyway and I feel that it is only a matter of time until this causes a fatality if it hasn't already.
Two issues really: a sloppily installed valve cover gasket on the right valve cover causing fluid leakage. The second is a constant drift to the left. 2008 f-350 lariat 4x4 crewcab long bed powerstroke diesel.
