2006 Ford F-350 Complaint Log

THIS YEAR ALONG WITH OTHER YEARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR VALVE AND TURBO. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A DEAL WHERE FORD HAD TO REPAIR EMERGENCY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT A NORMAL EVERYDAY CONSUMER. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ENGINE BLOWING HEAD GASKETS AND EGR VALVE ISSUES WHICH MAKES THE TRUCK SUDDENLY HAVE LOSE OF POWER WHEN DRIVING ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES AS SMOKING AND ENGINE LIGHTS GOING ON. AS YOU CAN READ ON LINE EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY FRUSTRATED AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS ENGINE. THE DIESEL TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT 79000 MILES. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD THINK A DECISION HAD BEEN MADE TO PUT THIS ENGINE IN TRUCKS KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WOULD STAND BEHIND IT. I GUESS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED YET OR SERIOUSLY HURT. JUST BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. WHICH IT HAS WITH US. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. WE HAVE PULLED A 15,000 LBS BOAT BEHIND THIS TRUCK AND IT COULD SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. HAS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING SMOKING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT BUT I GUESS BECAUSE NO ONE WAS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NO ONE WILL PAY TO REPAIR. IT IS SAD THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS HELP DIG THIS CAR MAKERS OUT OF DEBT BUT THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WHY DOESN'T THE SAFETY BOARD MAKE FORD REPAIR THIS ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE REALLY FRUSTRATED AND WOULD LIKE FORD TO REPAIR. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT THERE WAS A BAD ENGINE. 2006 IS NOT THE ONLY YEAR. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER ON YOUR VEHICLE AT LEAST I WOULD THINK SO. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF CONTINENTAL TIRES FROM COLONY TIRE LOCATED IN RALEIGH NC IN LATE 2012 EARLY 2014. I DRIVE A F-350 SD. IN AUGUST 2013 I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY SON ON NC I 40 E BOUND AROUND 400 ML MARKER WHEN 1 OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, 1ST BLOW OUT ON THAT TRUCK IN 8 YRS. THE 2 CONTINENTAL TIRE BLEW OUT DECEMBER 12TH 2013 ON I 40 E BOUND ALSO NEAR 411 MILE MARKER. AT THAT TIME I WAS THINKING WHAT ARE THE ODDS BUT AGAIN THINGS HAPPEN. THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING TO GREENVILLE SC. THAT WAS IN FEBRUARY 20, 2014. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. THAT WAS THE THIRD TIRE THAT BLEW IN THAT SAME SET. I HAVE THE LAST 2. I WENT TO TURNKEY TIRE SERVICE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT HE SHOWED ME HOW TO READ THE DOT NUMBER ON THE TIRE. WE LEARNED AT THAT TIME THAT THE TIRE WERE MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2005 AND WAS SOLD IN 2013. I CONTACT CONTINENTAL TIRE AND OFFERED THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME EXAMINED THE TIRES THAT I HAD LEFT AND THEY DECLINED. THEY DID WANT ME TO SEND THEM THE REMAINING 2 TIRES THAT I HAD BUT I DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD GET RID OF THE ONLY TWO TIRES THAT LINK ME AND THESE TIRES TO CONTINENTAL TIRE. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN OR SHOULD DO AT THIS POINT. WHEN I WENT INTO COLONY TIRE, THEY HAD TO ORDER THOSE TIRES. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ORDERED THEM FROM BUT IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO GET IN. *TR

OUR TRUCK EXPERIENCED A SEVERE, VIOLENT WOBBLE THAT STARTED AFTER TRAVELING OVER A UNEVEN SPOT ON THE ROAD. WE FEARED FOR OUR LIVES AS THIS OCCURRED WHILE PASSING ANOTHER TRUCK ON A BRIDGE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC BEHIND US. THE SHAKING AND WOBBLE CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS, AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. ALL OUR TIRES HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED AND INSTALLED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I MAINTAIN TIRE PRESSURES AS INDICATED ON DOOR JAM. 75 LB ON FRONT AND 60 LB ON REAR TIRES. THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS ON OUR TRUCK. I CONSIDER THIS ISSUE VERY DANGEROUS, AND WONDER HOW MANY FOLKS MAY HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THEIR TRUCK SUDDENLY BECOMING UNCONTROLLABLE, AS OURS DID. *TR

THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT YOU SAY HAD ONLY 76 COMPLANTS IS [XXX] ! OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 18 TIMES WITH NEW CORRECT SIZE TIRES @ CORRECT PRESSURE ! I HAVE HAD TO MAKE RAPID LANE CHANGES SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO IT WILL STOP ! IF YOU THINK THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO TO WORK FOR FORD ,ON SECOND THOUGHT ITS APPARENT YOU ALREADY DO ! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TURBO BARON NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES TO ATTEMPT A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE OIL PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE OIL PRESSURE WAS ABNORMALLY LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND BECAME LOOSE. THE CONTACT MADE A STOP AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER THE WHEELS DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER OR MECHANIC TO DETERMINE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,100.

WAS DRIVING MY 2006 F350 SD LARIAT DUALLY WITH ONLY 7,858 MILES, HAULING A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH A HORSE INSIDE AND STEERING STARTED TO SHIMMY ONCE I GOT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH) ON I-85N ENROUTE TO A HORSE SHOW. PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT STOP THE 15,000# OF TRUCK, TRAILER AND HORSE BUT WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CRUISE INTO A LARGE EMPTY PARKING LOT AND SLOW DOWN ENOUGH WHERE I COULD SAFELY APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OR INJURING MY HORSE. TIRES WERE FINE BUT THERE WAS A DISTINCTIVE SMELL OF BURNING PAD AGAINST RED HOT METAL AND TREMENDOUS SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WHERE THE ROTOR IS SEATED. BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED ONTO THE ROTOR, WARPING IT AND DESTROYING THE BRAKE PAD. POST POLICE ESCORT, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $2,400 LATER (WHICH INCLUDED NEW BATTERIES AND 2 NEW FRONT TIRES), ALL THE OFFENDING ITEMS WERE REPLACED. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT THE REAR CALIPERS AND BRAKE MECHANISM BE CHECKED AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY DID AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER, COMING DIRECTLY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL BRAKE SEIZED WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AGAIN, HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER $1,600 LATER (THIS AMOUNT INCLUDES 4 MORE TIRES), REPLACING EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE REAR BRAKES. IN MY RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED BUT A COMMON PROBLEM POSSIBLY DUE TO FAULTY HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT) EQUIPMENT. COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. A FIRE ALSO COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED AS THE BRAKE FLUID PUMPED BACK INTO THE MAIN ENGINE AREA OF THE TRUCK. THOUGH I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS DANGER WILL NOT RECUR. *TR

WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 55MPH ON A 2006 F350 SUPER DUTY 4X4 WHEN I WENT OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A VEHICLE ON MY RIGHT HAND SIDE. THOUGH I HAD EXPERIENCED A FLAT BUT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL WHEELS IS FINE. *TR

THE TRUCKS SPEEDOMETER STARTED INTERMITTENTLY WORKING ABOUT 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M AT THE ONLY THING SO FARE THAT I HAVE NOTED IS IF THE HEATER IS IN IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN. *TR

STEERING WOBBLE AND SHAKES. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. ANYTIME I HIT A BUMP ON THE FREEWAY MY TRUCK STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE. IT IS EVEN WORSE ON A ROAD CURVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MOUNTAINS. I FEW TIMES I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THE SHAKE DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL I SLOW DOWN BELOW 40MPH WHICH CAUSES ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE CHANGED TIRES, CHECKED PRESSURE AND ROTATED TIRES. ALSO, I REPLACED STEERING DAMPENER. NOTHING HAS WORKED TO DIMINISH THE SHAKE. I ALSO HAD THE 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND THE SHOP SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS CORRECT. THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WAS WORN OUT AND NEEDED CHANGING. I WAS TOLD NO REPAIRS NEEDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE BODIES START PILING UP. *TR

I OWN A 2006 FORD F-350 KING RANCH CREW CAB FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. A FEW TIMES THROUGH OUT THE YEARS THERE HAD BEEN A SHAKE AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 60MPH+. WE RECEIVED A LETTER NOTING A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED BRAKES AND 2 TIRES (OTHER 2 HAD BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY) AND WHEN WE DROVE IT HOME IT STARTED "THE DEATH WOBBLE" (AS THE DEALER CALLS IT-AND AS I SEE MANY OTHERS ON THE INTERNET). THE TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING VIOLENT FRONT-END SHAKING. DURING AN EPISODE OF LEFT-TO-RIGHT SHAKING, THE TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WITH MY HAND PLACED ON THE 12:00 POSITION ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE SHAKING VIOLENTLY TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL TO WHERE MY HAND IS GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 10:00 AND 2:00. SLOWING DOWN TO 30MPH HAS STOPPED EACH OF THE THREE EPISODES. THIS TRUCK HAS DEALER INSTALLED TIRES AND DOES NOT HAVE A LIFT KIT ON IT. AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES EQUAL MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION. THEY ACTED AS IF THIS IS AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM AT FIRST, AND SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A LETTER THAT WENT OUT. THEN THE NEXT VISIT THEY SAY SO COMMONLY, THAT IT IS THE DEATH WOBBLE AND WILL COST $1500. IT APPEARS THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS BLAMED TIRE PRESSURE, GIANT AFTERMARKET TIRES, AND LIFT KITS FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS NONE OF THESE POSSIBLE CAUSES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO EMIT WHITE SMOKE. THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO BOOSTER AND FUEL INJECTORS WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARK BLOCK AND THE INJECTOR CONTACT MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,823.

FUEL TANK LINER IS DELAMINATING CAUSING FUEL SYSTEM TO CLOG UP AND TRUCK TO LOSE POWER. FORD REFUSES TO COVER THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY SAYING IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT. *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE WITH FIFTH WHEEL 31 FT CAMPER IN TOW VEHICLE LURCHED TO THE LEFT AND ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT FOUND GREAT RESISTANCE IN STEERING RESPONSE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE AND AT NO SPECIFIC SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OR SHIMMY TO THE POINT THAT STEERING BECOMES ALMOST UNRESPONSIVE. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS ADVISED NOTHING WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO DESCRIBING THE EXACT STEERING SITUATION THAT I AM EXPERIENCING ALONG WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO KEEP TIRES INFLATED PROPERLY, WHICH I HAVE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE CORRECT. I CONTACTED FORD TO VOICE MY CONCERN AND WAS ADVISED THIS IS "JUST A NORMAL QUALITY OF A SOLID FRONT AXEL 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK". I USE THIS VEHICLE TO PULL A CAMPER AND WHEN THIS "SEVERE VIBRATION AND OSCILLATION" OCCURS IT CAUSES THE TRUCK/TRAILER TO LURCH SO FAR AS TO CAUSE IT TO SHIFT LANES. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, EVEN HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 70MPH. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE LETTER WAS ONLY A "NOTIFICATION OF THE SITUATION AND HOW TO AVOID" AND NOT A RECALL. FURTHERMORE, FORD ADVISED THAT I TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO A FORD DEALER AT MY COST TO ENSURE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT COULD AND PERHAPS HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. HOW LONG WILL THIS BE ALLOWED TO GO ON BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? HAVING IDENTIFIED A VEHICLE STEERING PROBLEM, THAT IN MY OPINION COULD BE LIFE THREATENING, SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT CAUSE FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 HD WITH PRO-COMPETITION EXTREME ALL TERRAIN TIRES, SIZE LT 37X13.50X17 (N/A) D RATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE HEARD FROM THE VEHICLE AS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED TO THE GROUND.

A TOW DRIVER WAS NOTIFIED WHO REMOVED THE FAILED TIRE AND REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 26,663 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRE WAS 22,062.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY, DESPITE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND FUEL INJECTOR UNIT NEEDED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 23,000. ..UPDATED 11/14/12 *BF UPDATED 11/15/2012 *JS

UPON DRIVING AT HIGHWAY POSTED SPEED, I ENCOUNTERED A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE IN A TURN. UPON HITTING THE BUMP, IT SENT MY FRONT-END INTO A VIOLENT SPEED-WOBBLE WHICH ALMOST PUT MY FAMILY AND I INTO THE RETAINING WALL. BEING THAT I'M A FORMER STATE POLICE OFFICER, I MAY HAVE "SAVED" US ONLY BY BEING HIGHLY TRAINED WITHIN DRIVING AND VEHICLE CONTROL. I HAVE READ FORUMS WITH MANY STATING THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FLAW, SOME WITH NOT VERY GOD ENDINGS. *TR

BOUGHT TRUCK USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM 45 TO 55 THE FRONT SUSPENSION GETS A TERRIBLE SHIMMY. WHEN THIS OCCURS, ITS HARD TO HANDLE THE TRUCK. THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLANTLY. A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE I AM NORMALLY PULLING A RACE CAR WITH THIS TRUCK. TRUCK IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER. IT'S AVERAGE USE IS 4 TO 6 TIMES PER MONTH. IN ORDER TO GET THE SHIMMY TO STOP, SOMETIMES I CAN SLOW DOWN BELOW 40 MPH. OTHERWISE, I HAVE TO STOP. IT MAY OR MAY NOT GO AWAY. THE STRANGE THING IS THAT IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS. THE TRUCK HAS NEW SHOCKS, NEW TIRES, BALANCED, AND ALIGNED. TIRES ARE APPROVED FOR THE TRUCK. THE SHIMMY HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND IS PREMATURLY WEARING THE TIRES. TIRES ARE INFLATED PROPERLY FOR USE OF THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM HAS RECENTLY STARTED WITHIN THE LAST 6 TO 7 MONTHS. MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY 78,490. THEREFORE SHIMMY STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 75, 000 MILES. *TR

BF GOODRICH TIRE TREAD SEPARATION AT 55MPH. TIRE HAD 35,500 MILES USE. *TR

I WAS IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA I880 NORTH NUMBER FOUR LANE PULLING MY CAR TRAILER WITH A LOAD WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURRED, BEFORE I COULD GRAB THE TRAILER BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, THE RIG STARTED A WHIP AND THE TRAILER STRUCK THE "K" RAIL. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 10MPH BEFORE THE SHIMMY STOPPED. THE FENDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRAILER WAS DESTROYED AND BLEW BOTH TIRES ON THE TANDEM AXLE TRAILER. LUCKILY NO ONE ELSE WAS INVOLVED AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS TRUCK NOW IS ON IT'S THIRD SET OF THE FACTORY B.F. GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL T/A RADIALS ON THE FRONT. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE ALIGNED WITH EACH TIRE CHANGE AND HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH TIRE PRESSURES, IT DOES NOT MATTER, AFTER ABOUT TEN THOUSAND MILES ON A SET OF TIRES IT SHIMMIES AGAIN. I HAVE RESORTED TO THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF MY 30 YEAR OLD CHEVY HALF TON AND OVERLOADING IT BY UP TO 50% OUT OF FEAR FOR THIS TRUCK. BECAUSE OF SHEAR NUMBERS INVOLVED, NOTHING WILL EVER BE DONE BY THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TYPE'S DEFECTS. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON A HEAVY TRAFFIC HIGHWAY, IN THE MIDDLE LANE, AND TRUCK JUST QUIT RUNNING. THIS IS UNJUSTIFIABLE!! OVER $5000.00 IN REPAIRS TO GET TO GET THIS TRUCK TO RUN! WHY HASN'T FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS NOTORIOUS PROBLEM ON THESE DIESEL ENGINES?! I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE A CLASS ACT LAWSUIT OVER THIS, I DO BELIEVE THERE ARE ENOUGH FORD OWNERS VERY UNHAPPY REGARDING THESE CONTINUING ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY F-350 LOST POWER, SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH FUEL/TURBO. REPLACE TURBO INJECTORS, EGR VALVE, FICM, FUEL INJECTOR, REGULATOR, AND HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO CONFIRMED WITH THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I59 THROUGH MERIDIAN MISSISSIPPI AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 PM YESTERDAY ON 06/22/2012. I CAME ACROSS AN OVERPASS AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE ROUGH SURFACE OF THE BRIDGE CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO CONTROL/CORRECT IT BY HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY AND BRAKING. IT STARTED TO SUBSIDE AND THEN STARTED AGAIN. I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND FIRM, AND BRAKED HARDER UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPPED. I HAD SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH BEFORE IT HAD STOPPED. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN MATTER OF SECONDS. THOUGH FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE TRUCK EARLIER ON THIS DAY, I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. I HAD RECENTLY CROSSED OVER LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN BRIDGE IN LOUISIANA JUST HOURS EARLIER. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND WHILE ACCELERATING, BLUE SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE TACHOMETER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT RESPONDED. THERE WAS A LOUD ROAR FROM THE ENGINE THAT WOULD BECOME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER AS THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT EXHIBIT ENOUGH POWER TO ACCELERATE UPHILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE HEAD GASKETS, TURBO AND TWO FUEL INJECTORS WOULD NEED REPLACING. IN ADDITION, THE EGR WOULD NEED TO BE BYPASSED WITH A KIT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED LITTLE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 227,000. UPDATED 7/16/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE EGR VALVE, WHICH CLOGGED THE EXHAUST AND TURBO FILTERS, WHICH CAUSE CARBON BUILD-UP. UPDATED 07/24/12

THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE IN DECEMBER 2011 WAS A STEERING STICK IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN AND REQUIRED FORCE TO TURN OPPOSITE THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN. THE PROBLEM CEASED AND DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL MID-MAY OF 2012. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED ITSELF AS A SEVERE OSCILLATION OF THE VEHICLE STEERING ACCOMPANIED BY DIRECTIONAL STICKING AND "INDEXING" IN THE STEERING. THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT REPAIR WAS TO FLUSH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THIS ACTUALLY RESULTED IN A WORSE OSCILLATION. THE PROBLEM WAS STILL INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I ASKED FOR THE STEERING GEAR TO BE REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT STEP WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER. THIS ALSO DID NOT RESULT IN ELIMINATION OF THE PROBLEM. DURING THE DAMPER REPLACEMENT IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE EXISTED A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE DRAGLING BALL JOINT. WHILE NOT PARTICULAR OUT OF THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE WE AGREED TO REPLACE THE DRAG LINK. THE DRAG LINK HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE A "WALKING" MOTION REQUIRING THE OPERATOR TO ACTIVELY STEER THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN IN A LANE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WILL DEMONSTRATE RELATIVELY GOOD STABILITY IN A SWEEPING TURN UNTIL THE WHEEL IS DISPLACED BEYOND ROUGHLY 5 DEGREES AT WHICH POINT THE STEERING DISPLAYS AN ACTIVE PULL IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN. THE VEHICLE IS BEING RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR CONTINUED EVALUATION. THE FORD TECHNICIANS HAVE EXAMINED AND PASSED THE POWER STEERING PUMP, THE HYDROSLAVE SYSTEM, FRONT TIRES, FRONT TIRE PRESSURE, FRONT BALL JOINTS AS WELL AS THE FRONT AXLE U-JOINTS. AT THIS POINT, THEY HAVE NO FURTHER SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY FORD F350 TURBO DIESEL TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN APPROX. 25 MPH, COULD NOT GET ANY POWER. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER THINKING IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE-NO FIX, THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTERS AND FOUND FOREIGN SUBSTANCE/CORROSION, PULLED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE CORROSION, DELAMINATING FUEL TANK. THE REPAIRS ARE UP TO $2500, THE FUEL TANK STILL TO COST $1300 TO REPLACE THE PART BUT STILL HAVE LABOR INVOLVED. ALSO THE FUEL INJECTORS, 5 OF THE 8 ARE EXHIBITING NO POWER AND VARIOUS OTHER FUEL FILTERS THAT THEY NAMED OFF WILL ALSO NEED TO BE CHANGED. THAT WILL COST ANOTHER SEVERAL THOUSAND. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTURER, CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATE THEY WILL NOT PAY OR ASSIST ME IN THE COST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ONLY 6 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS LIKE NEW, ONLY 66K MILES. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH A TRAUMATIC COSTLY PROBLEM IN AN AUTOMOBILE WITH ONLY 66K MILES. I STILL HAVE THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE COST. *TR

ON APRIL 20, 2012 THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AGAIN. HE NOTICED SMOKE AND THE VIBRATION WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EACH TIME THE TURBO FAILED. WHEN HE WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $212.00. ON APRIL 23, 2012 THE TRUCK BEGAN BILLOWING A THICK CLOUD OF SMOKE UPON BEING STARTED. THE NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL AS THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO MAKE HIS WAY TO THE DEALER. UPON HIS ARRIVAL AT THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE FINALLY STALLED FOR GOOD AND WOULD NOT RE-START. THE TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIRS WERE $ 5,715.41. *JB UPDATED 09/26/12

I HAD A 05 FORD SUPER DUTY 6.0 LITER DIESEL THAT HAD 3 NEW TURBO'S PUT ON DUE TO SKORING. FORD REPLACED ALL 3. WHEN TURBO'S GO OUT YOU LOOSE POWER. I HAVE A 06 SUPER DUTY THAT HAS 26828 MILES. THE WARRANTY JUST WENT OUT 6/16/11. FORD HAD TO PUT ON ANOTHER TURBO BECAUSE IT WAS SKORED. FORD DID PAY $750 AND I HAD TO PAY $1142. I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AND LOST POWER AND HAD TO LIMP HOME PULLING A 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. I HAVE READ WHERE FORD HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 6.0 LITER DIESEL ENGINE. I AM UPSET THAT FORD THAT FORD DID NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM FULLY BECAUSE OF ALL PROBLEMS THEY HAVE HAD WITH THE ENGINE. THE PROPERTY DAMAGE BELOW WAS JUST TO THE TURBO ITSELF. I AM WONDERING IF YOU AS AN AGENCY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS AND TO SEE IF THEIR ARE ANY RECALLS OR ARE GOING TO BE ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM. THE ENGINE ONLY HAD 26828 MILES ON IT AND I DO NOT DRIVE IT EVERY DAY BECAUSE I HAVE A DEPARTMENT VEHICLE. TO DRIVE TO WORK BECAUSE I AM ON CALL 24/7. I VOICED MY CONCERN TO FORD AND NOW I AM VOICING MY CONCERN TO THIS AGENCY. *KB

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK IS TRAVELING ALONG A ROAD OR HIGHWAY. YOUR DRIVE TURNS INTO A DEATH WOBBLE. THE TRUCK IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND JUMPS LANES AND IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THIS IS A DANGER THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO FORD BY MANY AND IT IS JUST BEING IGNORED. THIS IS A TRUE DANGER AND MAY NOT ONLY KILL THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BUT ANYONE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THIS IS BEING SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET, JUST AS THE PINTO WAS, WITH MANY DEATHS. YOU AS THE SAFETY BOARD NEED TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING SO CONSUMERS CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE PURCHASED, FOR MANY OVER $55,000. *TR
