NHTSA Complaint #11320772 — 2016 FORD F-250

TRUCK HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PENNSYLVANIAN (NOT PULLING A TRAILER JUST DRIVING HOME) WHEN I WAS GOING ALONE THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I BRAKED AND THEN BACK ON THE GAS AND IT WAS FINE. I'VE READ A TON ABOUT THE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE" AND FEARED THIS WHEN BUYING A F250 BUT DIDN'T THINK THAT I TOO WOULD BE A VICTIM OF THIS POOR DESIGN BY FORD. I ROTATE AND BALANCE MY TIRES EVERY 5K TO 15K MILES AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED OKAY. VERY FRUSTRATING I HAVE TO BUY NEW PARTS FOR A TRACK THAT SHOULD LAST 100K+ WITHOUT ISSUES. I ORDERED AN AFTERMARKET (FOX) STABILIZER SHOCK BECAUSE THE FORD OEM ONE ON THE TRUCK WAS SHOT (LOST ALL ITS GAS OR LEAKED). AGAIN ONLY 48K MILES WHAT A JOKE! UNFORTUNATELY THE STABILIZER SHOCK HASN'T COMPLETELY SOLVED THE ISSUE. WHEN I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD I CAN FEEL THE PLAY IN THE WHEEL STILL AND BELIEVE I NEED TO GO THROUGH AND CHANGE ALL THE BALL JOINTS AND LINK ENDS. DO ALL THIS AND AGAIN CROSS MY FINGERS THAT IT WONT COME BACK. WANT TO BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE. JUST WANT A TRUCK THAT WORKS FOR AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR THIS THING FROM THE FACTORY. SAD FORD. I'M A DIE HARD FORD GUY BUT THIS IS A SAD DAY. *TR
