WE OWN A FORD F-350 DIESEL PICKUP. IT IS A 2006, PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS HAD REPEATED POWER FAILURE IN THE LAST TWO AND HALF YEARS, WITH OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEFORE THAT. MOST RECENTLY WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP TO THE TUNE OF $2500.00 REPAIR FOR FUEL INJECTORS AND FUEL INJECTOR MODULES. THE PROBLEM, IS SAFETY FOR OUR LIVES AND POSSIBLY OTHERS IN OUR PATH. THE VEHICLE HAS RECURRING ENGINE FAILURE CAUSING IT TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOT ONLY AT A STOP LIGHT, BUT THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, AND ON STRAIGHT ROADS. WE MOST RECENTLY HAD IT DIE TWICE WHILE PULLING 2 HORSES IN A TRAILER. QUICKLY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO OUR HOME JUST LAST THURSDAY APRIL 14TH DUE TO NOT RESTARTING. TODAY, APRIL 18TH, WE TOOK THIS TRUCK TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AS WAS RECOMMENDED BY FORD MOTOR CO. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS HAVING ENGINE/POWER FAILURE AND OTHER THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL PARTS THAT WERE USED FOR THIS YEAR TRUCK. WE ARE RETIRED, TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS WHICH DEPENDS ON THIS PICKUP. WE ARE FEARFUL OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THROUGH AN INTERSECTIONS, OR COMING TO A STOP AND LOSING POSER. OUR LIVES ARE AT STACK AND THOSE AROUND US. OUR WARRANTY IS UP ON THE TRUCK. THE LAST TIME IS WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY ONE MONTH. NO ONE FROM FORD EVER MENTIONED RENEWING OUR WARRANTY AT ANY TIME EITHER. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS ADDRESSED AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OUT THERE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. IT IS NOT JUST A "LEMON", IT IS AN ERROR MADE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

2006 F-350 LARIAT SUPER DUTY- IN MARCH WHILE DRIVING ON I-70 I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 65MPH AND THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY THROWN INTO THE PASSING LANE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO SUMMIT FORD IN SILVERTHORNE, CO WHERE THEY CALLED MY DESCRIPTION THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, BALL JOINT AND STEERING DAMPENER. I FELT FORTUNATE THAT NO TRAFFIC WAS NEAR ME AND I SURVIVED THE UNCONTROLLABLE EVENT! NOW WITH THE $600.00 "REPAIR" EXPENSE I LEFT THE SERVICE CENTER SATISFIED THAT I WOULD BE SAFE ON THE ROAD. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE ON A TRIP, THE SAME "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND IN THE OTHER LANE AGAIN, THANKFULLY NO TRAFFIC WAS BESIDE ME OR ONCOMING WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. SO NOW I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF MY TRUCK AND DROVE CONSERVATIVELY TO GET HOME AVOIDING ALL BUMPS AND SLOWING DRAMATICALLY WHEN APPROACHING ANY IMPERFECT ROAD SURFACES. EVEN WITH MY NEW CAUTIOUS APPROACH TO DRIVING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN AT ONLY 50MPH. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND YOU-TUBE VIDEOS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL AS COMPLAINTS ON THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S WEBSITE. I HAVE FOUND 2 DOCUMENTS ISSUED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 04-26-1, AND A LETTER DATED APRIL 2009 (LITERATURE PROGRAM 09L02) ADDRESSED TO [XXX] REGARDING "SHIMMY, A SEVERE VIBRATION AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL...........". I AM RUNNING THE TRUCK AT THE LABEL SPECIFIED TIRE PRESSURE AND THERE ARE NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS . I AM CONSIDERING REPLACING THE F-350 WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT I CAN BE ASSURED OF NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MY QUESTION TO FORD IS, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO ODI #10336687 FILED ON 6/16, 2010 CONCERNING "WHEEL SHIMMY" ON FORD F 350 TRUCKS.

PLEASE CHECK OUT WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/FORD-F-350-SUPER-DUTY AND READ HUNDREDS OF POSTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE, ANOTHER OIL SPILL LIKE BP HAS CREATED, CRASHES WITH DEATHS LIKE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR? I CAN SEE THAT IT IS USELESS TO REPORT THIS. *TR

SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE FORUMS I HAVE READ. TO DATE THIS IS THE WORST TIME.HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, JUST NEVER THIS BAD. VEHICLE HAS 29,560 MILES TO DATE. I HAVE NEW TIRES @ 50PSI AND HAD MY ALIGNMENT DONE BY FORD DEALERSHIP AT TIME OF NEW INSTALL. MY VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. QUESTION: HAVE YOU HAD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE? LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.#2 PROBLEM IS THE SEAT IS JUST FALLING APART. UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT HAS WORN THRU WITH THE LITTLE MILEAGE I PUT ON THE VEHICLE. SIDE SUPPORT HAS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED AND MATERIAL IS COMING APART.FORD SAYS O-WELL. TIMES UP FOR YOUR FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

ON 2006 FORD F350 VEHICLE WITH 6.0 DIESEL , THE EGR COOLERS HAVE DEFECT THAT CAUSE THEM TO LEAK. AFTER READING INTO THIS IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY STATED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD LOOK INTO AN AFTERMARKET COOLER SINCE THE OEM UNIT FAILS QUITE OFTEN TO THE FREQUENCY OF 2 TO 3 WITHIN 100,000 MILES. THIS REPAIR IS APPROX. 1000 TO 2000 DEPENDING ON IF THE HEAD GASKETS HAVE BEEN SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGED AS WELL. IN MY CASE I HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER ALONG WITH EGR COOLER AN EGR VALVE AND HEAD GASKET. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $2095.63 FORD STATED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS TSB,S ON THIS BUT HAS NO PLANS FOR A VOLUNTARY RECALL. THEY DID STATE THAT THEY WILL ONLY COMPENSATE IF INSTRUCTED TO DUE TO A RECALL. THESE ISSUES IF RESEARCHED ONLINE ARE MORE COMMON THEN PEOPLE NEEDING ANY OTHER PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THESE COOLERS FAIL THE EGR GET WET AND DOES NOT FUNCTION. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH CAN MAKE YOU LOOSE POWER THUS LOOSING HYDROBOOST FOR BRAKING AND STEERING. *TR

2006 FORD F350 SUPERDUTY DIESEL DRIVING ON THE FWY MAKING A CURVE ABOUT 55MPH THE FRONT END STARTS TO HOP VIOLENTLY AND BOUNCING. ALMOST LOST CONTROL DUE TO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES ON THE FWY IN A VERY UNSAFE MANNER AND LOCATION CAUSING CAR BEHIND ME TO VEER OFF IN MANY DIRECTIONS AS I CAME TO A HALT. THIS LOSS OF CONTROL HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 2YEARS WITH ALWAYS THE SAME SITUATION FWY SPEEDS AND ANY TYPE OF BUMP IN THE ROAD SURFACE. HAPPENED ON UPHILL CURVES AS WELL AS FLAT OR DOWN HILL CURVES. A LESSER OF DRIVER MAY FAIL TO MAKE PROPER ADJUSTMENTS WHICH I SURE WILL LEAD TO A CRASH OR WORSE A DEATH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HWY AT APPROX 65MPH I RAN ACROSS A PATCH OF UNEVEN ROAD AT WHICH CAUSED MY 2006 F350 4X4 STEERING TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY I HAD TO CAREFULLY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHICH WAS NO SMALL TASK AS THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC THE SHAKING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS ALMOST STOPPED THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON DIFFERENT ROADS . THE VEHICLE IS STOCK NOT LIFTED AND HAS OEM TIRES. I AM TRYING TO FIND A FIX BUT I AM FINDING OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR FORD AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP FIX. *TR

VEHICLE CONTROL COMPROMISED WHEN INCURRING SHARP CHANGES IN ROAD SURFACE (POTHOLES, EXPANSION JOINTS, ETC). *TR

F-350 EGR COOLER WENT BAD AND SMOKED UP ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. OTHER MOTORISTS COULD NOT SEE AS THE SMOKE EMITTED FROM MY F-350 WAS LIKE A VERY VERY THICK FOG. I CONTACTED FORD, WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE ONGOING AND EXTENSIVE PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BUT "DOCUMENT" THE PROBLEM AND WANT NHTSA TO MAKE IT A RECALL. APPARENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER F-350 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M NOT SURE IF THE FUMES THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THIS PROBLEM ARE SAFE EITHER. *TR
