2017 Ford F-350 Owner Complaints

EXPERIENCED EXTREME AND UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRUCK (DEATH WOBBLE). THIS HAPPEN TWICE ON THE SAME DAY, 14 JANUARY 2018. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT 70 MPH AND IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 50 MPH. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS AT 60 MPH AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 45 MPH. APPLYING THE BRAKES MADE IT WORSE. THE VIBRATIONS WERE SO INTENSE IT PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY NECK. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE RIGHT AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2017 FORD F350 PICKUP TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, WHENEVER I DROVE ACROSS BRIDGES OR HIT SMALL BUMPS, THE PICKUP TRUCK WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED TO UNDER 50 MPH. THIS INCIDENT IS KNOW AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE TRUCK HAD 14,000 MILES ON IT THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, SENT BACK, AND A WEEK LATER THE SAME ISSUE OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN. TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY, AND HAS BEEN FOR A WEEK. THE SAME EXACT INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED ON ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER'S NEWLY PURCHASED 2017 FORD F350 ALSO AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH DUEL REAR WHEEL TRUCKS THE HIGH PRESSURE VALVE STEMS ARE FAILING CAUSING RAPID AIR LOSS TO FRONT AND REAR OUTER WHEELS ( ALUMINUM RIMS ) THIS WILL CAUSE TIRE FAILURE RESULTING IN CRASH AND OR ROLL OVER THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MOTION AND STATIONARY *BF *BF *TR *JS

1/22/2018

DRW ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE A CORROSION FAILURE WHERE THE TPMS STEM MAKES CONTACT WITH THE RIM. THIS CAUSES AIR LEAKS AT THE STEM. IN MY CASE THE LEAKS HAVE BEEN SLOW HOWEVER I FEAR USING THE VEHICLE TO TOW AS A RAPID LOSS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD BOTH REAR STEMS REPLACED AND NOW THE FRONT IS STARTING TO LOOSE PRESSURE.

REAR WINDOW OF STANDARD TRUCK CAB BLEW OUT EXPLOSIVELY SCARING THE DRIVER AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TEMPERED GLASS IS A MENACE IN THIS APPLICATION. DEALERS THINK LEXAN IS ILLEGAL. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON FED HIGHWAY WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND.

POWER TAILGATE OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. SOME ITEMS IN THE BED WERE LOST.

10/18/2018

2017 F350 BACK WINDOW EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY IN A SUBDIVISION. I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK WITHIN 5 MINUTES BEFORE I OPENED THE BACK DRIVERS CREW CAB DOOR TO PUT A BAG ON THE FLOOR. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR, THE BACK WINDOW EXPLODED AS THE DOOR CLOSED. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 23 DEGREES F. I BELIEVE THE SUDDEN CAB PRESSURE OF SHUTTING THE DOOR, COMBINED WITH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND A DEFECT IN THE GLASS OR GLASS INSTALLATION IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

MY TAILGATE OPENED UP WHILE PULLING A CAMPER WHILE IN A RIGHT TURN AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE AND 5TH WHEEL CAMPER WHICH I WAS TOWING

10/17/2018

THE 2017 FORD SUPERDUTY TRUCKS HAVE A REMOTE TAILGATE RELEASE IN THE LARIAT AND KING RANCH MODELS. THE TAILGATE OF MY TRUCK AND OTHERS HAVE DROPPED WITHOUT ACTION FROM THE USER. THIS MAKES THESE VEHICLES UNSAFE WHEN CARRYING CARGO THAT IS ONLY SECURED BY THE TAILGATE OR WHEN TOWING 5TH WHEEL TRAILERS. MINE HAS DROPPED SOME 16 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER. APPARENTLY FORD DEALERS ARE UNIVERSALLY BLAMING THE OPERATORS FOR ACCIDENTALLY PUSHING THE TAILGATE BUTTON TWICE ON THE FOB. HOWEVER, I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON MAY 6TH, WHEN I COULD NOT HAVE PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE FOB. THE TAILGATE DROPPED, AFTER I DROVE OVER 65 MILES ON MOUNTAIN ROADS - JUST AS I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSTATE ON-RAMP. MY TRUCKS TAILGATE AND MY 5TH WHEEL CAMP TRAILER WERE BOTH DAMAGED. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC. THE DAMAGE TO THE 5TH WHEEL WAS JUST UNDER THE PROPANE TANKS AND NEAR THE MAIL POWER BUS. I AM CHANGING THE TRUCK WIRING TO DISCONNECT POWER TO THE TAILGATE, BUT THIS IS REALLY NOT A SATISFACTORY FIX. ON LINE I FOUND AT LEAST 3 OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM. WHETHER THE OPERATORS AND UNKNOWINGLY ACTIVATING THE TAILGATE RELEASE OR THE FOBS ARE FAULTY OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE FAULTY OR WHATEVER THE CAUSE, THE RESULT IS A HAZARD THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE/ TRAILER CONTROL OR THE DROPPING OF CARGO ON THE HIGHWAYS. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT NEEDS FIXING BY FORD. *TT

FORD E-350 2017 HAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. I DROVE AROUND TRIP FROM BALTIMORE TO BOWIE, MD WHERE SELF STORAGE ZONE PLACE. WITH THE VEHICLE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE VEHICLE RAN THROUGH THE GATE ITSELF. BRAKE WAS FROZEN AND UNABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE BUT THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED AFTER THE GATE WAS BROKEN THEN I STOPPED IT IMMEDIATELY. ITS ENGINE POWERFUL RUN SLOW ITSELF DESPITE I STOPPED IT BUT IT CONTINUED TO RUN THROUGH GATE DESPITE I APPLIED THE BRAKE. THERE WAS SKID ON THE ROAD THOUGH BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING.

STARTED VEHICLE, PLACED IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY, AT END OF DRIVEWAY STEPPED ON BREAK AND DID NOT STOP, PRESSED HARD AND STOPPED. PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE TO GET BACK ON DRIVEWAY AND ALMOST HIT GARAGE DOOR AS BREAKS DID NOT WORK NORMALLY SO I PRESSED EMERGENCY BREAK. SHUT OFF TRUCK, RESTARTED AND BREAKS WORKED FINE. THOUGHT IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH AND RESTART CORRECTED. DROVE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN ON WAY HOME FROM STORE I AGAIN LOST NORMAL BREAKING AND HAD NO POWER STEERING . I WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY STREET. PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED BUT THIS TIME THAT DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. DROVE ABOUT 1 MILE TO FORD DEALER AND TURNED OVER FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 17K MILES ON IT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO BE BAD AND REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEM SINCE THE REPAIR. I HAVE ABOUT 30 MILES SINCE REPAIR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I RECEIVED NO FAILURE OR WARNING LIGHTS, STARTED INTERMITTENT AND IF I WOULD OF BEEN DRIVING OTHER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS I WOULD LIKELY OF BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SHE WOULD OF NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP OR STEER THE TRUCK. I HAVE NORMAL STRENGTH FOR A 60 YEAR OLD MAN AND I COULD BARELY STOP AND STEER THE TRUCK. IF I WAS PULL AN RV I WOULD OF BEEN IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING AND CONCERNED THAT AFTER FIRST FAILURE IT SEEMED TO RESET THUS ASSUMING A COMPUTER ISSUE. SEEMS STRANGE THAT A MECHANICAL PUMP FAILED AND THEN STARTED WORKING FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE FAILING AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE THAT CORRECTED ITSELF, I DID GO TO FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES BUT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING THE TRUCK IN TO BE CHECKED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS 60MILES FROM MY PURCHASING DEALER SO WENT TO CLOSEST FORD DEALER FOR THE REPAIR.

THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF AT WHILE RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE STOPPED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. WHEN THE TRUCK SHUTS OF THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING TO THE LEVEL THAT IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AND IT APPEAR THEY ARE POWER ASSISTED FROM THE MOTOR, SO WHEN THE MOTOR STALLS THEY ARE LOST. *TR *DT UPDATED 10/19/18*JB

I'M A MECHANIC AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. THESE PICKUPS ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 11 AND 13 LOCALLY. THE LITTLE FUEL LINE OFF THE TOP OF THE FILTER BREAKS AND FUEL EVERYWHERE. THE LAST ONE I HAD TO FARMER FIX ONLY HAD 1200 MILES ON IT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. ALL I CAN DO IS PATCH IT SO THEY CAN GET HOME. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO DO THIS. WHEN EVERY ONE OF THEM ALL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT THOUGH?

FORDS" BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY' DOESN'T GO "MIRROR TO MIRROR" ON NOV 22, 2017 I BOUGHT THE 2017 F-350 LARIAT SUPER DUTY. NICE TRUCK, IT'S THE 8TH FORD TRUCK I HAVE BOUGHT NEW AND UNTIL NOW HAVE NEVER HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT THEY DIDN'T STAND BEHIND UNTIL THIS ONE. AT 700 MI ON A FAMILY OUTING TO WASHINGTON DEC 8TH, MY WIFE REMARKED THAT SHE COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND I TOLD HER IT WAS PROBABLY PAINT OFF THE ENGINE. I HAD TURNED ON THE MIRROR DEFROST. ON ARRIVAL TO OUR DESTINATION MY SON DISCOVERED THE FRAMES HAD MELTED. SENT PICTURES TO SERVICE DEPT. AT DEALERSHIP. TECH SENT TEXT BACK "DO NOT USE MIRROR HEATERS AGAIN". I CALLED AND HE SAID DEALERSHIP WOULD REPLACE WHEN WE RETURNED. THEY PICKED IT UP ON FRIDAY THE 15TH AND MIDDAY I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM SERVICE MANAGER STATING THAT HE WASN'T A VERY GOOD NANCY DREW BUT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO WARRANTY THEM AS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE VANDALIZED ( AT 70 MPH YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ONE OF THE FOUR OF US WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT ) HE TOLD ME TO TURN IN TO MY INSURANCE. I REMARKED THAT IT WASN'T AN INSURANCE PROBLEM, TO STATE FARM AGENTS CREDIT THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY WOULD COLLECT REPAIR COST FROM MANUFACTURE. WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF A WARRANTY WAS JUST THAT? WHEN I TOLD SERVICE MANAGER THAT I WAS GOING TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE OREGON DOJ UNDER THE LEMON LAW, HE BLEW ME OFF. I TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER AND HE TOLD ME ALBANY ONE HAD PLACED A "FLAG" ON IT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO EVEN LOOK AT IT BUT CAUTIONED ME TO NOT PARK IN MY GARAGE IN CASE OF FIRE UNTIL ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ASSIGNED ME A "CASE NUMBER". 1400 MI. ON A 72K TRUCK AND NO MIRROR DEFROST. WE CURRENTLY OWN 9 FORDS, LOYALTY DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR MUCH ANYMORE. WARRANTY MUST NOT BE ANY WIDER THAN THE BUMPERS.

UPON COLD START, THE AT IN 'M' MANUAL MODE, FIRST GEAR OR 'R', EITHER 4WD LO, HI OR 2WD, WHEN ACCELERATED UP TO 1500-1800RPMS, VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE BY ITSELF, WITHOUT OPERATORS FOOT ON ACCELERATOR INCREASING SPEED AND RPMS APPROACHING 4000 RPMS. BRAKING IS POSSIBLE AND WILL SLOW TO IDLE RPMS SAFELY, BUT IF INCREASED AGAIN WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR TO 1500-1800 RPMS, SYMPTOM WILL REPEAT UNTIL WARMED UP THRESHOLD HAS BEEN REACHED. THIS IS BETWEEN 3-5 MINUTES AFTER COLD START. ALL IS NORMAL AFTER THIS TIME AND VEHICLE WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED BY ITSELF. IF VEHICLE SITS FOR 2-3 HRS, SYMPTOM CAN BE REPEATED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO PLAY A FACTOR. IT IS MOST EASILY EXPERIENCED IN 4WD LO, AS THE SPEED IS LOWER, YET THE RPMS ARE THE SAME AS IN 4WD HI OR 2WD. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN BACKING UP (IN 'R') IN 4WD LO AFTER A COLD START AND HAD TO INCREASE SPEED AND RPMS BEYOND 1500 WHEN VEHICLE STARTING INCREASING IN SPEED BY ITSELF. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND NO DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRED. I HAVE SINCE EXPERIMENTED TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHEN THIS SYMPTOM OCCURS.
