NHTSA Complaint #11405649 — 2015 FORD F-250

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 F250 THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT 50 MPH. TRUCK WAS WOBBLING ALL OVER AND TO BEGIN QUICK DECELERATION AND SLIGHT BRAKING. ONCE TRUCK DROPPED TO ABOUT 20 MPH THE SYMPTOMS STOPPED. LOOKED OVER TRUCK AND SAW NO OBVIOUS ISSUES . I DROVE SLOWLY TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHECKED OVER FRONT END AND STATED WOULD NEED TRACTION ROD, STABILIZER AND BALL JOINTS AS THIS IS KNOWN ISSUES ON 2005-2019 SUPER DUTY VEHICLES. FORD DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALL OR ISSUES BUT COULD CHECK IT OUT. IF THE OTHER GARAGE WAS CORRECTED IT WOULD AROUND $800 TO 900 TO REPAIR. AS I LEFT AND MADE RIGHT TURN IT AGAIN SHIMMIED BADLY AND I RETURN TO DEALER. THEY SUGGESTED LEAVING TRUCK AND THEY COULD GET TO IT IN A FEW DAYS. I FEEL THIS UNACCEPTABLE FROM FORD FOR A OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HAS THE NHTSA BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND IS A RECALL TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER LARGE INVESTMENT IN ORDER? THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT CHEAP AND FORD TOUTS TEH MOTO, BUILT FORD TOUGH> PLEASE RESEARCH AND ADVISE IF THERE IS A RECOURSE FOR THE CONSUMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAFETY ISSUES.
