Known Recall Investigations
  • Violent front end oscillation investigation # EA08007

    This investigation was opened based on 78 consumer complaints of severe suspension and steering wheel oscillations after the subject vehicles traveled over an uneven surface.Odi was concerned about these complaints because many of them alleged loss of control and the loss of control occurredat speeds above 50 miles per hour.At the time these complaints were received, odi was also aware of the tsb 07-10-10 and early warning field reports that discussed the shimmy condition on the subject vehicles.Since opening this investigation, odi has confirmed, based on consumer complaints, warranty data, testing conducted by vrtc, and odi inspection of complaint vehicles, that the owners of the subject vehicles are experiencing shimmy events on their vehicles.However, odi has also confirmed that owners typically do not maintain their tires at the pressures recommended by ford on the tire label.Further, odi has found that in order for shimmy to occur, tire pressures must be substantially below (at least 20%) those specified on the vehicle tire label.Odi considers these unsafe tire conditions to be the result of one of three typical situations.The tires are being improperly maintained, the owners are intentionally setting the tire pressures low to enhance ride quality, or aftermarket tires (not designed for use on the vehicle) are installed to change the appearance or function of the vehicle.The subject vehicles are intended and designed to be used as heavy duty vehicles and as such require that the tires be capable of handling the loads for which the vehicle is designed and marketed.In order for the tires to be capable of handling these loads, the proper tire pressure must be maintained.In light of the information gathered in this investigation and fords agreement to notify subject vehicle owners (now and every two years until the vehicles reach ten years from their production date) about the importance of maintaining proper tire pressures on their vehicles, further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.For additional information, see the attached closing report.

A scary and serious wobble at 35 mph. Had to creep home. Almost lost control.

Cruise control would not disengage. When my husband pressed the brakes, the car sped up. We had to pass 5 vehicles, barely enough room. He finally turned the motor off and was able to pull off the freeway (i70). But for the grace not god, we would have died of injured ourselves and others. Brakes should never make your car speed up.

The ford 250 initiates a 'death wobble' or intense shimmy in the front wheels at speeds greater than 50 mph anytime any small bump is encountered on road. This instance initiated 5 times in a 500 mile highway trip at such an intense rate that the vehicle lost significant steering control and had to be immediately decelerated to nearly 20 mph for it to stop. Initial speed was close to 63 mph. The shimmy initiated when a small bump is passed over and on three of these instances it initiated with the crossing of a expansion gap or transition from the highway to a bridge or bridgelike structure. The wobble shook truck so much that directional control was lost. Approaching (traffic from the rear) had to swerve out of they way to avoid a rear collision. If deceleration is not immediately imposed the vehicle maintains the shimmy and directional control is severely compromised. In two instances on this trip i was able to nurse the wobbling vehicle off the road to the shoulder to then brake till control could be retrieved. However, there are many instances when access to the right side is impeded such as when passing in left lane. The same issue has happened before on a highway trip to another state 6 months before.

When driving, the truck will die. Sometimes truck can be restarted other times had to have it tolled. We have replaced fuel pressure regulator, regulator, start switch r&r instrument cluster, alternator, batteries and the problem still exist. Have taken it to a ford dealer and they can not find the problem. They say it is not covered on recall 05v270000

2005 ford f250 with approximately 19,100 miles. Original factory tires, suspension- no modifications. Tire pressure set to factory door label specs. On monday, 8-19-2019 while on i-95, travel speed at about 60 m.P.H., i drove over a bridge expansion joint & the entire truck started shaking violently. Steering wheel was vibrating/shaking making it difficult for me to maintain control of the truck in my established lane and nearly took out several cars in the adjacent lanes nearly causing multi-vehicle collision. Went on the internet & found thousands of similar complaints regarding this same issue i just experienced. Later found out it is called harmonic resonance a.K.A. The death wobble. This dangerous situation affects not only the driver and the passengers in the defective vehicle, but to other unsuspecting motorist's and their passengers whom share the same roadways.
