• Recall 2015081 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles equipped with diesel engines, service replacement steering gears, installed after june 30, 2014, may not properly mount to the frame rail due to insufficient clearance. This could result in insufficient clamp load on the joints, which over time may cause fatigue of one or more of the steering gear retention bolts. If the steering gear bolts were to fatigue, one or more of the bolts could fracture, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will install spacers between the gear and the frame rail to add clearance and ensure adequate clamp load to the joints.

Sudden extreme wobble of front end while driving (known as death wobble) happened many times in past two years

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

When i hit a rough patch in the road with the front left side, i get a violent shaking in the front end and almost loose control. Control is regained when you slow to 5-10mph. I have had this issue for awhile and have had the front end inspected with no defects. After doing some research, this condition has a name "the death wobble." ford has issued 2 tsbs # 18-2268 and #06-2214. No one has mentioned these tsbs to me. This is a very dangerous condition as it take control of the vehicle. I also understand this is an issue with other heavy duty trucks from dodge.

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.

Front tires suspension bounces like a basket ball uncontrollably at high speed (60 mph+) if you hit a chug hole on street.. Will definitely cause head on collision and injury or death. You have to almost come to a complete stop to make the suspension stop bouncing.

Pulling my lincoln rushmore 5th wheel, i had three separate blowouts on my 5th wheel. Once on way out to campground and two lost coming home. Camper was built in 2014 and i have less then 1500 miles on these new goodyear marathon st 235/80r16 tires. The tread separated from the tire on all three at speeds from 65 miles per hour on first tire, and 47 and 58 miles per hour on the other two coming home. I still have one of these with me. With exception of fender damage on one side and support straps broke, it was not much damage, but feel these tires are at fault. Should be a recall on these> very unsafe !!! My wife was following me and the tread broke up in small pieces all from the outside of tire. The sidewalls and underlayment of the tire was still intact. This camper is too new to see these types of problems. First tire was on the interstate highway 485 and the second was on a highway between hickory and lincolnton. Tire dot # 2v un 1lhx on all three tires. I have two left from same camper with same codes. I do not trust these tires!!! But always thought goodyear was good tire. I check the tire pressure constantly and was at 71 to 75 lbs when tire was cold. The tire says it must not exceed 80 lbs cold.

I was driving down the highway and began to exit. The vehicle just stopped! I was able to coast to access road. After i was towed to a repair shop and received diagnosis, i began to price shop. By doing this i was informed that there were other ford trucks that had the same repairs recently. I also encountered another owner that had the same diagnosis/repairs completed. The cost was close to 10grand. The diagnosis was the high pressure fuel pump. Due to the sudden failure of operation of the vehicle while driving high speeds i feel this warrented an investigation. I find myself fortunate that there were no accidents, injuries or loss of life.
