Read complaints for FORD F-350 SD (2017)
The remote electric open rear tailgate has a serious design flaw.the problem is either due to faulty key fob, poor placement of the interior button that releases the tailgate or some other electrical issue.the problem is the tailgate will 'at random' open on its own.i've had this happen on many occasions, i'm very mindful to keep the key fob out of my pocket and not allow my palm to hit the button while releasing the parking brake (very poor location).i have had damage to my tailgate due to it opening while pulling a trailer, it resulted in the backup camera being damaged.ford will not warranty this and seems to ignore the problem.
Rear tailgate opens by itself. Unknown when it occurs as i have a camper shell which prevents the tailgate from completely opening.this has occurred 40-50 times randomly since purchasing the truck new in august 2017. Notified the dealer of issue and ford tsb-2196 but was informed that because my vehicle was produced after june 2017, it does not apply to my problem. Unless they can duplicate the issue, they will not address the issue. No damage has occurred because of the camper shell preventing tailgate from dropping.
Tailgate opens on its own without driver command while driving
The rear tailgate will open randomly on it's own.i've taken it in and nothing was done .this could cause a serious accident when towing a 5th wheel because the tailgate would hit the trailer.when this happens potential loss of steering could happen.
I'm april of 2018 the electric tailgate on my 2017 ford f-350 started opening on its own anytime and anywhere. It did not matter if the truck was in park or in gear but did not open at speeds above 10 mph or so. After going to the ford dealership in elkhart in. I was told there was nothing that could be done because if they unhooked the wiring l could not open the tailgate. I pull a 5th wheel trailer with the truck so this was not an option if l wanted a tailgate.i tried to watch the best l could before taking off to make sure the tailgate was closed when l would move the truck. I did not notice that it had come down again and made a turn with the trailer hooked to the truck. Needless to say the tailgate was crushed beyond use and broke a twilight lens at the same time.again l went to the ford dealership in elkhart in and was told they had no reports of problems and there was nothing they could do about it. The tailgate has not been replaced do to the fact l am sure there is still an is sure.
Truck shuts down all eletrical lights,radio ,heater .gages for about 8 to 15 sections at random lose lights etc all electric functions
This defect applies to all 2017 and 2018 model year ford f-250, f-350, f-450, and f-550 trucks with standard halogen headlights.as equipped, these trucks illuminate four replaceable bulbs low beams, and four replaceable bulb high beams, both in excess of the maximum of 2 total specified in s10.15.1: "a system must provide in total not more than two upper beams and two lower beams and must incorporate not more than two replaceable light sources in each headlamp."
Experienced heavy osculation at 25k miles. At 26k miles the truck will go into a "death wobble" at speeds over 60 mph. Any time i hit a bump in the road at speeds about 60 mph the truck violently shakes and it's very difficult to maintain control of the vehicle. This is a huge safety concern. Took the truck in to get it repaired under the warranty. The dealership was very familiar with the death wobble. The track bar was on backorder; however,i found one available at another dealership. I drove there, picked it up and took it to there dealership who fixed the truck the first. Got the truck back several days later. At 31/32k miles, it started to do the osculation/vibration and steering wheel shake when i hit any bump on the road/rough patch at speeds over 60 mph. Took the truck back to the shop at 33k miles after it did the death wobble and i almost lost control of the truck. The dealership fixed it a second time. The same day i picked it up on the second attempt to fix it, i was driving home and it did the death wobble again. It was like a mini-death wobble with a very heavy osculation, shaking and vibration when i hit a rough patch at 60 mph or greater. The truck is now back in the shop and waiting for the third repair. The death wobble occurs at speeds usually over 60 mph on the freeway or any country roads. It has happened a few times at about 55 mph. Driving in town it doesn't do it at lower speeds (40-45) unless you hit a very big bump/pot hole/rough patch.
The contact owns a 2017 ford f-350 sd. The contact stated that the driver parked the vehicle with the engine idling, the driver exited the vehicle and 10 minutes later, the transmission erroneously switched to the reverse position causing the vehicle to roll away and crash into a parked vehicle. There was no one in the vehicle during the roll away. No injuries were reported and no police report was taken. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer varsity ford (3480 jackson rd, ann arbor mi. 48103) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available.the failure mileage was 60,000.
While driving my 2017 ford f350 lariat crew cab 4x4 long bed, i drove over an expansion joint on the highway going at approximately 65 mph.upon hitting the joint, the front end went into a violent oscillation bouncing left and right.the steering wheel was oscillating so violently that it took all that i had to hold it on the road.i had to reduce the speed rapidly from 65mph to 35mph in heavy traffic.luckily no one was in my right lane, or i would have impacted the side of their vehicle.this felt like "death wobble" as the wheels were bouncing to the left and right when it happened.this is the first time that this vehicle has had this happen.it was purchased new from a dealer lot in kansas.approximate mileage is 13,000.i took it to the dealer how claimed it was a failed steering dampener.the dealer replace the dampener, but the front end still feels loose and unweighted over bumps on the highway at speeds over 50 mph.the weather when it happened was sunny and clear.traffic was heavy but moving.this incident occurred maryland highway 100. This is a serious manufacturer defect that nhtsa needs to look into and recall these vehicles before someone gets killed.
The contact owns a 2017 ford f-350 sd. The contact stated that the vehicle had an extensive "death wobble", which caused it to be unstable when driving over 70 mph. The contact had to apply extreme force to the steering wheel to maneuver the vehicle. The dealer (sioux falls ford, 4901 w 26th st, sioux falls, sd 57106, (605) 361-0361) stated that the bushings were worn and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
Death wobble/uncontrollable steering wheel oscillation occurs at speeds over 55 mphshakes so bad it makes controlling the truck almost impossible.must reduce speeds below 20mph or to a stop to get it to stop.death wobble happens when i hit a bump in the road like a pot hole, bridge, manhole, etc.vehicle has visited a ford certified mechanic and they have informed me there is no fix and they have 9, i repeat 9 trucks in for the same issue.
Significant steering wheel osculation and front suspension vibration after driving over expansion joints on highways and bridges.require slowing the vehicle to 20-25 mph before the issue stops.
2017 ford f-350 with 35000 miles at 20000 experienced a violent shaking game n front end the steering wheel oscillated between 11 and 1 o'clock this happened after hitting bump in the freeway at 70 mph. The dealer replaced the horizontal shock. Several months later i went over an expansion joint on a bridge and the violent shaking began and i could stop by slowing to 30 mph. The dealer replaced the horizontal shock again wand the track bar.both parts were on back order for many months. Now i am noticing a slight shaking when i hit a bump. The internet calls it the'death wobble' this is very dangerous ford has a serious design problem that they choose to ignore. I hope you can help.
2017 f350 18000 miles. At hwy speed, when a bump is hit with both front tires, the suspension shakes violently and the vehicle is nearly uncontrollable. Shaking continues until speed is significantly reduced and the steering can be turned aggressively.
Major issues with the steering components, truck will get death wobble for no reason and have had the 'updated steering' done at the dealer and it still does it !
While traveling at approximately 65 mph, on a highway, going around a left hand corner, hit a bumpy patch of road that caused a violent shaking of the steering wheel and whole truck.slowed approximately 20 to 25 mph to get shaking to stop.
Experience 'death wobble' of front steering at about 17,000 miles.truck has about 21,000 miles on it and i have owned it since new.truck is completely stock with original tires, wheels and suspension.last weekend i had the death wobble happen twice.this happened about 10 miles apart while in a construction zone on the freeway with no place to pull off or room as lanes were narrowed.a small bump starts it, but it takes about 2-3 seconds to 'ramp up' to where the steering wheel is violently shaking back and forth.happen at a speed of about 58 mph and had to slow down to under 40 to regain control.tire pressure of both front tires has a reading of 63psi which cold inflation is 60.tires are rotated at oil changes.truck is an xlt crew cab with long box, powerstroke diesel,4x4 with fx4 package and max gvwr 11,500.does have chrome package that included chrome 18' wheels and goodyear all terrain tires.completely stock as taken from dealer.my opion is that the solid front axle has a flaw with regard to track bar locating the axle position and the drag link of the steering.both of these links are not exactly parallel or of equal length.since one is attach directly to the axle and the other is attached to the steering arm, when the front axle oscillates going over a bump, the non-parallel, not equal length links introduce a condition sometime referred to bump steer.this then starts an oscillation of the steering arm as the truck wish to continue traveling the straight line, it compresses all of the rubber bushings which then cause the wheel to be jerked/sprung back violently and thus we have the wobble of the front steering oscillating at frequency that can not dampen out until vehicle is slowed down to a point to that no longer supports the natural frequency.college level kinematic and vehicle dynamics approach could solve the problem.
Driving at approximately 45mph or greater, the vehicles front two wheels and steering wheel will wobble or oscillate rapidly after hitting a pot hole or expansion joint. The wobbling jars the steering wheel and makes the vehicle hard to control. Breaks must be applied and speed reduced by 5 to 20 mph to stop the wobble.
Truck currently at 18,250 miles. At normal highway speeds (70 mph) when hitting an expansion joint in the express way or other depression in the road surface, will occasionally cause an uncontrolled and violent oscillation of the steering components. During one of these "death wobble" events loss of control is possible. To regain control, the vehicle must be slowed down to around 30 mph which can cause an extremely dangerous situation for other motorists on the road.
Steering wobble (death wobble) at highway speeds in my case 55 mph and above when roadway has bumps similar to expansion joint heaving.the steering will will go into a rapid shaking action making it near impossible to steer.will stop only after vehicle slows below speed of 55 mph.i am fearful braking may increase problem but have not proven this yet.i have been traveling straight the 3 times it has gone into this steering wobble.afraid what would happen if in a curve, but expect it would go offroad.problem reported to dealership and has been in for inspection 3 separate times. (1) inspected and replaces steering dampener (2) adjusted alignment (3) dealer wants to adjust camber again but parts need are back-ordered.will make adjustments when parts available.truck currently being used minimally since i'm afraid to drive at highway speeds.
Several times the pickup has started shaking.it caused me to lose control and enter the ditch.the problem occurs when i'm at a speed of 50mph or above. Usually happens when a pothole or bridge crease in road is crossed.
Experienced 'death wobble' several times when traveling on highways (between 65-75 mph). This happened several times - once while pulling a fifth wheel trailer, which nearly caused accident. Dealer installed bar to address issue several months ago. Today, i experienced it again- 5 times in a matter of 60 miles - again on the highway when going over expansion joints on bridges. This is only stopped when slowed down significantly on highway - extremely dangerous. Based on the very similar and numerous complaints on this issue makes me think a class action is warranted and needs to be pursued - since it seems there aren't appropriate stepsbeing to correct this very dangerous defect. The corrective steps ford has dealers performing aren't working and this is a serious safety issue that needs immediate attention.
Truck steering oscillates all the time. Turns into a death wobble when driving on roads above 55 mph that are rough.
At 19000 miles i experienced a violent shake in my steering wheel while driving at 75mph on a local expressway. This violent shake made me lose control of any steering of the vehicle til i slowed down to i believe was 40mph were i gained control of vehicle again. This almost caused me to crash into another lane and vehicle and it almost caused the driver behind me to rear end me due to the sudden stopping on a expressway. I have taken the vehicle to the ford dealer 5 times for repair. The truck continues to have steering control issues. I will attach the latest receipt showing repair that has not fixed the issue. This issue happened again today but luckily it was not as bad. Please help fix this issue before someone gets killed.
2017 ford f-350 super duty with 28,000 miles.the truck is experiencing a severe wobble/shaking in the steering around 70mph.it feels like there is a blown front tire.the truck must be immediately pulled to the side of the road.the steering appears fine once driving is resumed.this is an extremely dangerous problem.if this were to occur in higher speed traffic, an accident could easily happen.in researching this problem on the internet and on this site, it appears that this is occurring with many ford super duty's.an investigation should be initiated promptly as this is an extremely dangerous steering problem.
Several times i have experienced severe shaking with the steering.it feels as if the front of the truck is going to fall out.it has happened at speeds between 50 and 70mph. I have to step on the brakes to the point i am afraid someone will hit me from the back.so far i have been able to keep control but it seems to be getting worse.i have about 25,000 miles on it. The first time this happened i had less than 15,000.these occurrences are frequent now and as a result i am afraid to drive it

I went to pick up my trailer in my brand new (1000 miles) 2017 ford 350 super duty truck. I was unable to attach my existing standard travel trailer safety chains to the truck properly. The 2017 ford super duty 2 1/2" 15k hitch simply does not allow the proper connection of any standard travel trailer safety chain. The industry standard size of clevis hook on travel trailers is 5/16". None will safely connect and close around this particular factory hitch. The next size up of these hooks is 3/8", and it is too large to fit through the opening freely. The hitch is rated at 15000 pounds. There is no way safety hooks rated to that weight will attach in these small oddly shaped holes. I have now tried 4 different (properly rated) hooks. None will attach properly to this factory hitch. I returned to the dealership. They no recommendations to safely attach the chains. I even tried searching for what others have done to solve this on the internet. People are randomly selecting items, properly rated or not, to attach their safety chains, becasue there does not appear to be a solution.failure to properly connect trailer safety chains is a serious safety issue. This could lead to trailers breaking free of the tow vehicle.i apologize, but i don't have a picture with the 5/16" hooks. Suffice to say they will go through the holes, but are further from being able to clip safely than the larger 3/8" hooks.note: the optional/larger ford 3" 22k hitch has larger holes and allows proper connection ofindustry standard travel trailer safety chains.

Crash alert sensor and adaptive cruise control keep going out.now the crash sensor which pre-loads the brakes is going off when i am parked.it seems like if i shut the truck down and restart it is back working, but if this system is pre-loading my brakes for a full brake application when i dont need it, i might get rear-ended for a slamming brake application when not needed.i have read about others having this issue and parts are back ordered.i am going back to the dealership again to see if they can fix this issue.

Continued failures of value stems on the wheels of this truck
Tires not holding air pressure.seeing this on the pass side front wheel/tire, and the outer pass wheel/tire of the rear dually.research indicates this could be due to corrosion caused by the steel valve stem and the aluminum wheel.this is a hazard particularly due to the fact this vehicle is built for heavy duty towing and tires must maintain proper air pressure.tires are losing approx. 10psi weekly.ford should recall these vehicles and repair/replace the valve stem assembly to prevent tire pressure loss.numerous complaints of same can be found by researching internet sources.the vehicle only has 13,500 miles on it.
My f-350 drw has developed leaks between the oem aluminum wheels and steel valve stems at only 12,435 miles. Took to my local dealer and found i am not the only person with this issue. Because of the contact between the dissimilar metals, the wheels have begun to corrode at a high pace causing pitting around the valve stem. If it wasn't for my tpms, i would have not know of the leak all the while towing my 18,000 lbs. 5th wheel rv. Ford has agreed to replace all the wheels, however, i believe others should be informed to preclude any accidents. A check of the super duty forum has indicated there are many owners across the us that have this issue. Thanks, jeff
