NHTSA Complaint #10592361 — 2013 FORD F-150

2013 FORD F150 ECOBOOST SUPERCREW (157" WB) WHEN LOADED EXHIBITS PULSE/BUCKING/SHAKING WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. NOTICEABLY WORSE AS MORE LOAD IS APPLIED. VEHICLE IS RATE WITH PAYLOAD OF 1500 LBS AND IT ONLY TAKES 200-300 LBS IN THE BED TO FEEL IT AND WHEN YOU HAVE 700-800 LBS IT LITERALLY BUCKS. HAD AT DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FORD TECH LINE WHO ALL SAY THAT NO DAMAGE OR SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS AND TO LIVE WITH IT. I PAID $42K FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN PUT ANYTHING INTO THE BED TO TO UNSAFE STARTS THAT ARE GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE COMPUTER TRIES TO COMPENSATE FOR THE VIBRATIONS AND STARTS TO LOWER POWER CAUSING IT TO NOT GO WHICH IS DANGEROUS IN LEFT HAND TURN SITUATIONS. THE TECH SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS FORD STATES THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES. *JS
