Yes the steering wheels are coming loose on all these trucks. Customers are having to fix their own steering wheels because there are no recalls. I don't believe steering wheels should be coming loose. The only thing they've done to fix it is make it easier to fix on the newer models.
My truck has the death wobble for the second time. I took it to Red McCombs Ford in San Antonio, Texas and they charged me to fix what is an inherently bad design flaw in the F350 that I own. The wobble stopped and has now reappeared. The death wobble is real. I want it fixed for free or I want Ford to buy my truck for top dollar.
When I hit a bump at between 55 and up, the Truck develops a death wobble even after having all the steering components, including ball joints, tie, rod ends, stabilizer, bar, shocks, replaced
While traveling at 65 mph, the truck crossed a separator strip resulting in loss of steering control. Vehicle steering wheel began violently "shaking" left to right and began to swerve violently in an area of heavy traffic. The vehicle was towing a 37 ft. 5th wheel at the time of the incident and I had to use a combination of braking and defensive steering to slow/stop the vehicle in the right side ditch of the road. Incident resulted in extreme wear to braking components, and minor alighnment issues due to leaving the roadway. Upon inspection by a certified mechanic, the issue was determined to be, "death wobble" and multiple components were replaced with OEM parts. Parts, services, inspection all paid for by me, yet the vehicle continues to shake violelently at random. New tires an quarterly alignments have not resolved this issue and 3 different Ford mechanics have advised removing the vehicle from service to avoid further accident or injury. Ford Motor has repeatedly denied assistance in any capacity concerning this issue.
Death wobble when hitting any bump whilr going over 55
The contact owns a 2009 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving approximately 50-55 MPH, there was a winding sound detected. The code P0088 was displayed. The contact pulled over and the vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump had failed, causing metal fragments to enter the engine. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
Was operating vehicle on I-65 traveling at interstate speeds. Hit a bump and vehicle started shaking and violently vibrating. Had to slam on my breaks to get the vehicle to stop shaking and back under control. Feared for my life and my son from being rear ended due to it being a busy highway. The vehicle has done it several times and this is my second complaint due to not hearing anything back.
Hit a bump on the highway while driving. Vehicle started vibrating and shaking uncontrollably. Heavy traffic with Tractor Trailer behind on me was barely able to get vehicle stopped and to the shoulder of the highway. Was in fear for my life and haven’t had the vehicle a month yet after purchasing it from a cord dealership.
On September 4th & 5th two separate occasions I was driving on US 85 in WY when I hit a bump in the road and my truck started shaking violently and was hard to control. I immediately pulled over and slowed down until the shaking stopped but was almost rear ended by the truck behind me on one occasion.
SUDDEN EXTREME WOBBLE OF FRONT END WHILE DRIVING (KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE) HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN PAST TWO YEARS
I OWN A 2009 FORD F350 KING RANCH THAT I PURCHASED USED 2 YEARS AGO FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS ANY DEFORMITY ON THE ROAD. THE SHAKES ARE SO INTENSE AND UNCONTROLLABLE THE I HAVE TO TRY AND PULL OFF THE ROAD TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE SHAKING DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAVE HAD THE BODY MOUNTS REPLACED, AN ALIGNMENT- BECAUSE I WAS TOLD PROPER TIRE INFLATION WOULD FIX IT- THE SHOCKS REPLACED, AND STEERING STABILIZER REPLACED. NONE OF THESE REMEDIED THE SITUATION. I AM TRYING TO SELL THE VEHICLE BUT SINCE THE DIFFERENT MECHANICS WE HAVE USED DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE/FIX THE PROBLEM, I AM UNABLE IT TO SELL IT WITH THIS COMMONLY KNOWN 'DEATH WOBBLE' THAT FORD IS AWARE OF. I ALSO CAN'T SAFELY DRIVE IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE, IN THE LAST MONTH, A COMPLETE FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM ($9,000) AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IN 2011, HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR-WHICH WE WERE UNAWARE OF. *TR
THE FIRST ITEM I HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH AND CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUE WITH IS THE PHENOMENON REFERRED TO AS DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS TRACEABLE TO STEERING COMPONENTS AND POTENTIALLY SUSPENSION. THERE IS NO CLEAR SOLUTION AND A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD DOES NOTHING ABOUT THE SECOND PROBLEM IS ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM AT FORD THE BODY MOUNT BUSHINGS WHICH DETERIORATE OVER TIME. BOTH ISSUES FORD IS AWARE OF BUT THEIR SERVICE PERSONNEL MUST BE DIRECTED TO ACT AS THE KNOW NOTHING BECAUSE IRONICALLY NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT EITHER OR THERE IS SPARCE KNOWLEDGE OF BOTH ISSUES THEY ARE BOTH DRIVING ISSUES. HOWEVER THE BODY MOUNT BUSHINGS YOU CAN SEE BEST WHEN PARKED
DRIVES REALLY ROUGH TRUCK BOUNCES AND MAKES IT HARD TO STEER HAD TO SLOW DOWN SO I WOULDN'T LOSE CONTROL. IM A BUSINESS OWNER AND HAVE BOUGHT ALOT OF TRUCKS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.
