2018 Ford F-250 Owner Complaints

WAS GOING AROUND 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING AND CAME UPON A BRIDGE APPROACH AND WHEN I HIT THE BRIDGE APPROACH I GOT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PASSING SOMEONE THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS SQUEEZE TIGHT AND SLOW DOWN TO PULL OVER. THE WOBBLE WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I CURRENTLY HAVE 10,959 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. SAME THING HAPPENED AT THIS SAME BRIDGE APPROACH IN MY 2013 F350.

HIT BUMP ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES NOW. FORD WOULD ONLY REPLACE STEERING DAMPENER. IT DID IT AGAIN AFTER BEING IN SHOP FOR 3 DAYS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN ONLY STOP THE SHAKING BY SLOWING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". FORD REFUSES TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS AND CLAIMS EVERYTHING IS FINE AND IT WAS THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THE AIR PRESSURE WAS TO SPECS. AND STILL DID IT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-10 GOING EAST ON I-10 AND CROSSED THE BRIDGE AT THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA LINE. I WAS CHANGING LANES WHILE GOING ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND HIT A BUMP. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOOK UNTIL MY SPEED DROPPED BELOW 45 MPH WHICH TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS. I FELT THAT IF I HAD HIT THE BRAKES, THAT THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD HAVE SHEARED RIGHT OFF THE AXLES. THIS WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING SITUATION I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN A VEHICLE. I HAVE KEPT THE SPEEDS BELOW 50 SINCE THE INCIDENT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE.

11/8/2018

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE TAILGATE CAME DOWN UNEXPECTED WHILE DRIVING. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, WE OCCURRED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE AND THE 5TH WHEEL. PICTURES ARE ATTACHED. WE WERE TOWING OUR FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER IN MOTION, TURNING AND DRIVING. TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN VEHICLES TOLD US OUR TAILGATE WAS DOWN AND HAD DAMAGE TO OUR FIFTH WHEEL. ONE HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER AND THE OTHER IN NOVEMBER AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME.

11/19/2018

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS AFTER USING DEFROSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AND THE DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON AS I WAITED FOR VEHICLE TO WARM UP I WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE. WHEN I WENT BACK OUT AND GOT IN THE VEHICLE THE WINDOW WAS CRACKED ALMOST THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS IN A PERFECT LINE WITH 2 PEAKS THAT CAME UP ABOUT A FOOT IN ON EACH SIDE. THE CRACK THAT WENT THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES ABOVE DASHBOARD. I HAVE ONLY 13000.00 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND BOUGHT IT NEW AROUND 11 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL COVER THIS AS THEY SAID THE COVERAGE ON THE WINDOW HAD TO BE UNDER 12000.00 MILES OR 12 MONTHS WHATEVER CAME FIRST. IT'S REALLY UPSETTING TO THINK THE WINDOW WOULD CRACK FROM DEFROSTER AND THAT THEY MAY NOT COVER IT.

2/6/2019

TRUCK HAS AUTO TAILGATE RELEASE. TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. THE TAILGATE HAS DROPPED / RELEASED TWICE BY ITSELF. TAILGATE RELEASED AND DROPPED WHILE TRUCK WAS NOT IN PARK. ONE TIME THIS OCCURED WHEN I RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I NEED TO EXIT AND CLOSE THE TAILGATE. CONCERNED THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS CARGO COULD DROP OUT ONTO THE ROAD AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND OR CARGO COULD BE STOLEN FROM THE TRUCK BED.

8/8/2018

TRUCK HAD 12,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD IT FOR 9 MONTHS, GOT A MUSTY SMELL COMING FROM SOMEWHERE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES, THEY SAID IT HAD NO WATER LEAK, SO I DIDN'T MY OWN TEST I NOTICED THE BACK CARPET WET, RIPPED THE BACKSEAT OUT AND NOTICED WATER POURING IN FROM THE LOUVERS IN THE BACKSIDE OF THE CAB, DEALER HAD TO RAKE BED OFF AND REPLACE BOTH LOUVERS

3/23/2019

WHILE TOWING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55-60 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS TO GO THROUGH A HARMONICS TYPE OF VIBRATION SHAKING THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT , STEERING WHEEL AND DASH. THIS VIBRATION CONTINUES REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE SPEED IS INCREASED AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL THE SPEED IS LOWERED BELOW 55-60 MPH.

12/22/2018

BETWEEN 60 TO 75 MPH WHEN HITTING CERTAIN BUMPS THE STEERING STARTS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND WILL NOT STOP TILL SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH. THIS STARTED AT AROUND 24K AND HAS HAPPENED 10+ TIMES. ALSO AT 37K SYNC 3 RADIO NO LONGER WILL COME ON AND WIRING ISSUES CANNOT GET TRAILER BRAKING TO CONNECT TO THE TRUCK. LIGHTS WORK FINE BUT ALWAYS SHOWS TRAILER DISCONNECTED SO BRAKING DOESN'T WORK. YOU CAN ALSO START THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND PUT IT IN ANY GEAR WITHOUT HAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE.

NEW F250 PICKUP TRUCKS HAVE FOUR HEADLIGHTS SHOWING AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPERATED IN HIGH BEAM OR LOW BEAM. THIS GIVES OTHER DRIVERS THE IMPRESSION THAT HIGH BEAMS ARE BEING USED AT ALL TIMES, WHICH CAN LEAD TO OTHER DRIVERS FLASHING THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT F250 DRIVERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THEM DIM THEIR HIBEAMS. HOW WERE THE HEADLIGHTS FOR THESE VEHICLES CERTIFIED FOR HIGHWAY USE.

1/25/2018

I THINK THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THE HEADLIGHTS ON ALL NEW FORD SUPER DUTY PICKUPS. EVEN ON LOW BEAMS THEY HAVE AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT AND BLINDING DOUBLE STACK OF LIGHTS ON EACH SIDE. THESE LIGHTS ARE THE MOST BLINDING LIGHTS COMING AT YOU FROM THE FRONT OR REAR THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THESE ARE LEGAL? I EVEN DRIVE A PICKUP SO THIS ISN'T JUST A COMPLAINT FROM SOME PERSON WHO HATES TRUCKS. THESE LIGHTS I'M REFERRING TO ARE REALLY BLINDING TO OTHER DRIVERS.

BOUGHT A 2018 FORD F250.. DROVER IT FOR ABOUT 1500 MILES. WENT ON A TRIP TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK , ON THE WAY BACK. WE WERE ON THE 5 FWY BACK TO LOS ANGELES WE ARE GOING 70 AND ALL THE SUDDEN LOST GAS PEDAL IN LINE ONE WITH A BUNCH OF RIGGS AROUND ME. TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER LINE JUST WITH IMPULSE OF THE TRUCK ,STOP ON THE SHOULDER AND TURN IT OFF WAITED LIKE 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED AND GOT HOME. AT HOME WHEN TRY TO RESTART IT WOULD NOT STAR AT ALL. TOOK THE DEALER THEY SAY GOT FIX . DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AND THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT WITH ALL MY FAMILY ABOARD ON THE 405 FWY ON THE SECOND LINE ON FWY WITH FIVE LINE EACH WAY. ALSO NO PEDAL POWER TOOK IT TO CUROSCO FORD IN LONG BEACH. CUROSCO FORD AND FORD TECH ADVISE IT WAS PEDAL CONTROL ORDER THE PEDAL CONTROL. WAS TOLD THE TRUCK WILL BE READY 5 DAY LATER. WENT TO THE DEALER FIVE DAYS LATER. THE TECH SAY THEY INSTALL THE PADEL AND TEST DROVE IT, BUT FIVE MILES LATER STILL LOST PEDAL CONTROL, THIS IS 20 DAYS LATER AND THE TRUCK STILL NOT FIX CAN NOT FIND THE PROPLEM ON IT. BOUGHT THE TRUCK ON 07/31/2018 AND I HAD IT ON MY POSSESSION FOR ABOUT 20 PUT 1500 MILES. FORD SAY I CAN TRADE THAT IN LOOSE 25000.00 AND THAT ALL THEY CAN DO.. LEMON LAW DOES NOT COVER BECAUSE IT HAS NOT HAPPEN THREE TIME AND I AM NOT WILLING TO TRY FOR THE THIRD TIME AND HAVE AND ACCIDENT.

ON 4/19/19 I MISFUELED MY DIESEL VEHICLE. I STOPPED THE PROCESS IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED FORD FROM THE FILLING STATION. THE FORD SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT I SHOULD AVOID TURNING THE ENGINE ON, OR EVEN PLACING THE ENGINE IN ACCESSORY MODE BECAUSE IT WOULD ENGAGE THE FUEL PUMP AND FLOOD THE SYSTEM WITH GASOLINE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT I COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO BE WINCHED ONTO THE FLATBED TOW TRUCK WITHOUT TURNING ON THE ACCESSORY MODE. I CALLED FORD FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. FORD RECOMMENDED THAT I DISCONNECT A CABLE BENEATH THE TRUCK THAT WOULD DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AND ALLOW THE TRUCK TO MOVE. BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS, I HAD TO TURN ON THE ACCESSORY TO GET THE TRUCK OUT OF PARK FOR TOWING. THIS CAUSED ABOUT $12,000 IN DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. MORE TO THE POINT OF THIS COMPLAINT, I LATER DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT IN THE MANUAL FOR MY TRUCK. FURTHER, THE PROCEDURE THAT IS IN THE MANUAL WAS NOT MENTIONED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE FORD MANUAL CONTAINS A PROCEDURE THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TRUCK. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT FORD IS RECOMMENDING A PROCEDURE THAT IS INHERENTLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE PROCEDURE IN THE MANUAL.

BEFORE THE V8 GASOLINE ENGINE REACHES SOME PRESCRIBED OPERATING TEMPERATURE ( BEFORE THE ENGINE IS FULLY WARMED UP ), WHEN HEADED DOWNHILL, NO LOW GEARS FUNCTION IN ANY MODE AND THE ENGINE EXPERIENCES SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2018. THE FORD COMPANY HAS REPEATEDLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECTS, AND HOWEVER CLAIMS THAT ALL 2018 GASOLINE POWERED F250S ARE DESIGNED THAT WAY TO MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS AND THEREFORE EVERYTHING IS FINE DESPITE BEING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER ELABORATION WITH NAMES, DATES, AND PLACES. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2018 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY HAS A VIOLENT SHAKE (DEATH WOBBLE) IF I HIT ANY KIND OF BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED, MY TRUCK WILL SHAKE SO BAD TO THE POINT I CANT HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHATEVER IS IN MY CUP HOLDERS GOES FLYING IN VEHICLE. I HAVE GIVEN FORD 3 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO FIX IT, THE PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND SPOKE WITH THEM MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THE ISSUE. AT THIS TIME, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I JUST NEED TO KEEP TRYING TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITH ANY KIND OF TRADE ASSISTANCE TO CHANGE TRUCKS. FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH 2017/2018 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I'M TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW I HAVE BEEN TREATED BY A COMPANY THAT I SPEND OVER $250,000 WITH OVER MY LIFETIME.

I WAS CLEANING MY 2018 FORD F250 WINDSHIELD IN MY GARAGE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER WIPER ARM FELT LOOSE. I WENT OVER TO CHECK THE DRIVERS SIDE AND GAVE IT A WIGGLE AND NOTICED THAT THE KEY WAY FELL OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WIPER ARM WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE SHAFT TO MAKE YOUR WIPERS MOVE. I THEN WENT BACK OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE A NOTICED THE KEY WAY LAYING ON SHROUD AT THE BASE OF THE WIPER ARM.

DURING DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 73 ON THE HIGHWAY I WENT OVER A BRIDGE AND WHEN THE TRUCK WENT OVER THE JOINT IN THE ROAD IT SENT THE TRUCK INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHICH CAUSE THE TRUCK TO VEER INTO THE OTHER LANE. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE NOT HARDLY WORKING. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 1/8 OF A MILE TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 50 WHERE IT REGAINED CONTROL. STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND COULD NOT KEEP IT IN MY LANE. TRUCK WAS BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY AND ALMOST TOOK IT OFF THE ROAD.
