NHTSA Complaint #11301014 — 2019 FORD F-350

FRONT WHEELS/STEERING STABILIZER BARS. 2019 F-350 SRW WITH 8' BED AND 5400 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED BOUNCING WHEN HITTING POTHOLES. IT WAS NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS (LESS THAN 35MPH) BUT IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEFINED AT SPEEDS OF OVER 35-40MPH. I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT OCCURRED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DOING ABOUT 45MPH AND TO A POINT WHERE I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NOTE: THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD OR DRIVEN RECKLESSLY. I RECENTLY TURNED IT IN TO FORD WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER INSTANCES REPORTED WITH THE SAME MODEL/YEAR TRUCK. TECHNICIAN STATED IT IS BECOMING A COMMON COMPLAINT AND RELATED TO A FAULTY FRONT WHEEL STABILIZER BARS. FORD IS CURRENTLY REPLACING THE STABILIZER BARS ON MY TRUCK. HENCE I FELT OBLIGATED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE IN HOPES TO AVOID SOMEONE POSSIBLY GETTING INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS FAULTY STABILIZER BARS.
