2007 Ford F-250 Suspension Problems

Truck randomly has the notorious death wobble when going over bumps. It shakes violently and i have to slow down or stop. Tried to have it diagnosed by mechanic several times with no outcome, this is when I researched and found out a lot of ford trucks have this issue. Is it a severe safety issue and with the outrageous price of trucks, I can not buy a new one. Ford should have recalled this a long time ago

On our most recent trip, our Ford truck a 2007 F250 model experienced what is called the death wobble, where the front shakes violently. Which occurs in speeds of 70 or higher, when it hits a bump the front end shakes violently. It has happened in the past when we were on vacation. The dealer could not find the cause. It is now at the dealer again, to see what can be done. There is a known class action suit filed in 2019. For Ford F250 & F350 models from 2005 to 2019. Ford knew about it but did not inform any owners. We are wanting to get this on record so you can monitor Ford to see what they are doing about it. It is a shame that people pay big bucks for the trucks and Ford won't tell owners about it or find a true fix. We are also going to file on the class action suit that is out there. PLEASE MAKE FORD ACCOUNTABLE, TO SAVE LIVES

BOUCES ALL OVER ROAD SHOCKS ALSO LEAKING FLUID.

2007 F250 CREW CAB 4X4. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH I HIT AN UNEVENLY PAVED ROAD AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE FOR AT LEAST A MILE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP. CARS STARTED TO YIELD AND SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE SHAKE WAS SO VIOLENT AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MERGE INTO OTHER LANES. *TR

2007 F-250. CONSUMER STATES DEFECTIVE DESIGN RELATED TO A VIOLENT SHAKING IN VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VIOLENT SHAKING CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT INTO THE NEXT LANE.

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-95 ,WHEN THE REAR OF MY F-250 STARTED MOVING SIDE TO SIDE OUT OF CONTROL. I PULLED OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE,WHICH TOOK APPROX. ONE MINUTES WITH TRAFFIC. IT WAS TOO LATE THE TIRE SEPARATED AND DAMAGED THE L-SIDE OF VEHICLE. *TR

EXCESSIVE SHIMMY/FRONT END OSCILLATION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL ON MULTI LANE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT, FORCED TO BRAKE SEVERELY TO REGAIN CONTROL , ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END CRASH . READ YOUR REPORT EA08007 AND IMMEDIATELY CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE WITHIN SPEC'S. IN FORTY FIVE YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A VIOLENT CONDITION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE INCLUDING TIRE BLOWOUTS OVER 50 MPH. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NO ASSOCIATED CRASHES OR DEATHS OF THIS CONDITION. THERE ARE MANY POSTINGS OF SAME ON THE INTERNET BY OTHER OWNERS. I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO FORD AND REFERENCE THEIR TSB 7-10-10 AND YOUR EA08007 REPORT. *TR

OUR 2007 FORD F250 SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OVER 6MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS WITH ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A FORD F250SD, WHEN I AM DOING 70MPH PLUS AND HIT A POT HOLE OR A GOOD SIZE BUMP THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIGOROUSLY. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO NEARLY TO 40MPH JUST TO GET IT TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH ABOUT 200+ OTHER FORD F250SD OWNERS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEARS RANGE FROM '06 TO '08. *TR

I OWN A 2007 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY EXT CAB, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT SHAKING/ BOUNCING VIOLENTLY WHEN I GO THROUGH A POTHOLE OR RUN OVER A BRIDGE SEAM WHEN TRAVELING OVER 60 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES UNDER DIFFERENT LOAD CIRCUMSTANCES PULLING A TRAILER, WITHOUT A TRAILER, FOUR ADULTS IN THE CAB ONLY MYSELF IN THE CAB, WITH AND WITHOUT A LOAD IN THE BED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN MAY OF 2007. THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE BECAUSE OF THE STEERING WHEEL PULLING RIGHT TO LEFT OR THE TIRES BOUNCING UP AND DOWN AND WHEN I APPLY THE BREAKS THE TIRES SKID AT FIRST. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN VERY FAST AND TO A VERY SLOW SPEED TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 2 1/2 YEARS AND IT ONLY HAS 25,000 MILES. FORD SENT OUT LETTERS WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM AND SAID TO MAKE SURE THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT AND EQUAL IN THE TIRES. I HAVE DONE THIS AND CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT AND THE SAME. I HAVE TRIED REDUCING THE TIRE PRESSURE INCREMENTALLY FROM THE 75PSI RECOMMENDED ON THE VIN PLATE BUT THAT HAS NOT WORKED. *TR

I HAVE A FORD F250 2007 4X4 DIESEL. WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING SO BAD I RAN OFF THE ROAD. FORD SENT ME A LETTER ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE, BUT I ASSURE YOU I CHECK MY TIRES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK BECAUSE I PULL EQUIPMENT ALMOST DAILY. FORD IS TRYING TO COVER UP SOMETHING AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK ALMOST TWO YEARS, AND HAVE HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 29 TIMES IN 22 MONTHS. THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE TURBO OR THE ICP AND KEEP TELLING ME IT IS NORMAL. I WAS WONDERING WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VIDEOS OR HEAR THE TAPE RECORDINGS OF THEM TELLING ME NORMAL IS WHEN THE TRUCK IS HOPING SO BAD THE FRONT TIRES COME OFF THE GROUND. *TR

2007 FORD F-250 (42K MILES) - WHOLE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT AN IMPERFECTION ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 55 MPH. I HAVE TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER TO GET IT TO STOP AND THEN CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. IT'S BEEN DOING IT THE LAST 3 MONTHS, BUT TODAY I FINALLY TOOK THE FORD TECH FOR A RIDE AND IT DID IT TWICE FOR HIM. SO FAR THEY'RE SAYING I HAVE THE WRONG SIZE TIRES, BUT THEY'RE THE SAME SIZE THE TRUCK CAME WITH AND GOODYEAR INSTALLED THEM, I'M WITH A STATE AGENCY AND DO NOT HAVE MANY OPTIONS AS FAR AS TRADING THE VEHICLE. I DO THINK FORD SHOULD BE FIXING THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN THE SAME COMPLAINT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ON FORUM DISCUSSIONS. *TR

ON CERTAIN HIGHWAYS MY FORD F250 SUPER DUTY BOUNCES TERRIBLY. I MUST SLOW DOWN TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL. IT BOUNCES SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAVE BEEN BOUNCED OUT OF MY SEAT. FORD STATED THAT THEIR TRUCKS HAVE A "DAMPENING" SYSTEM TO FIX THIS. THEY STATED TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE. MY TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE AND HAS BEEN FINE. I HAVE RIDDEN IN CHEVY 2500'S AND DODGE 2500'S ON THE SAME HIGHWAYS WITHOUT THIS OCCURRING. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE TRUCKS BUT I CAN NOT SEEM TO GET FORD TO AGREE. THIS IS DANGEROUS CONDITION SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BOUNCING WILL START. ANY OTHER REPORTS ON THIS OCCURRENCE? *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ANY IMPERFECTION IN ROADWAY CAUSES VIOLENT SHAKING AND DIMINISHED STEERING ABILITIES UNTIL TRUCK IS SLOWED CONSIDERABLE, OR BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. PROBLEM APPEARED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM, SADLY, NOT SURPRISED AT THE LACK OF ATTENTION THIS ISSUE HAS RECEIVED FROM FORD, OR FEDERAL AGENCIES TO WHOM I PAY HARD EARNED MONEY TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE FROM THESE TYPES THINGS. *TR

WHEN I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD MY TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I ROTATED AND RE-BALANCED MY TIRES AND THIS DIDN'T HELP. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED DOING THIS AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AND IT NEARLY SENT ME OFF A CLIFF. HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD CAN CAUSE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL............. IN A BRAND NEW 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK! *TR
