While driving my 2017 f-250 6.2 v8 gas, the vehicle randomly shuts off. I lose power steering, electrical and even braking is affected. It happens at any speed, hot or cold engine. It is random and very unsafe. After a few moments, i can start the vehicle and it will drive normal for 2-3 days and it'll happen randomly again. I have had it serviced at the dealership twice now and i still have the same problem.

The tailgate is electronic and is opening on it's own while in motion. With my 5th wheel rv connected i cannot tell when the tailgate opens and this time it damaged both the tailgate and my rv when i made a right turn. I also lost cargo that was in the bed.

While traveling down the interstate at approx 70 mph i hit a bump and the vehicle's steering became violently erratic, jerking the steering wheel from my hands and the vehicle was shaking as if it was being torn apart internally. I had to slow to almost 10 mph before i was able to regain control of the vehicle. This is the 4th time the vehicle has acted in such a manner.

At 60 to 65 mph when you hit a bump in the road (going over bridges) the vehicle begins to shake uncontrollably / violently. In two cases i went off the road trying to slow the vehicle down. It will not stop unless you slow down to about 30 mph. In all cases it happened on the highway. Typically while trying to merge into traffic while entering from an on ramp. Most case the bridge joint starts the condition. This…

My ford f-250 experienced a severe "death wobble" on 3 occasions causing the need to slow down from 65 mph to 25 mph on the freeway during normal traffic. On one occasion, the shaking was so bad it went to the adjacent driving lane while on an on-ramp and was completely uncontrollable. The vehicle is at the ford dealership now and having the steering shock replaced but the service rep stated they are just trying…

I have had multiple occurrences of "death wobble"...... Vehicle only has 12,000 miles on it..... Have done research. Seems like there is a safety bulletin out. Ford told me the parts are on backorder for fix.....people online saying even after ford fix still not fixed. I dont feel safe letting anyone else drive this vehicle....or me driving it above 50 mph. So basically if you hit a road joint for a bridge for…

I slowed down as i did before and it stopped wobbling again around 30mph. I…

The antenna mount is broken and very poorly made. The service manager said that is what happens when you take it through a car wash, checked 2018 same model and the mount has been changed to a heavy duty mounting bracket. When i was driving, it was waving in the wind and at one time came out completly. I was afraid it would hit someone or something and do harm or damage to someone or something including killing…

Very scary death wobble.at speeds from 45 to 65 mph i have taken the truck to ford with no help. The first time they said the tires were bad. Which was very strange because they only had about 20,000 miles on them. So i replaced them at the dealer with factory originals. No fix no help from ford

Recieved a recall from ford for frozen door latches. Door will not close in the cold. Went into dealership and they "fixed" the recall. But it did not work. Ford states there is no other fix and there is nothing they can do at this time. They told me to bungee my door shut and wait for another recall! This is a very serious matter that could result in injury or death and ford is taking no action to fix!

I recently parked my tt at our new rv campground. While backing it up the gate opened randomly in the middle of a turn and dented the top of my tailgate. Extremely upset i new it was going to be a hard case to submit to warranty for them to believe that it wasn't user error. A few days later i left work and drove 20 miles down the highway only to get to where i was going and get out of my truck to see the tailgate…

The tailgate on my truck opens on its own. This has happened approximately 6 times over the past few months. I did a google search to see if this was happening to others and found a few articles mentioning it was happening. I figured i would also submit this form to let you know it was happening to me as well.

The manufacturer has designed a trailer hitch that makes it impossible to use safety chains with. You can not adequately attach the hooks leading the possibility of a runaway trailer. The ford superduty trucks boast of their ability to pull well over 10,000 pounds but their engineers did not provide a way to fasten safety chains.
