Car pulled out of side road crossing my path. I struck his car broadside in driver door. My air bag restraints did not deploy. I was traveling approximately 45-50 at point of impact. Fortunately i was not injured, but my air bags should have deployed!
Drives really rough truck bounces and makes it hard to steer had to slow down so i wouldn't lose control. Im a business owner and have bought alot of trucks and this has never happened to me.
Ford diesel engine began to sputter/miss/backfire/etc-later shown to have 'blown-up' ... Basis of problem appears to be in the 'crank-area' of the engine. Has to be replaced @ 116,000 miles with a $20,000 pricetag.(note: any diesel should be good for 250,000--300,000 miles). We are 2nd owner(1st owner was a ford dealer) buying on 5/31/12 47,276 miles on speedo.
The contact owns a 2009 ford f-350.the contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle abnormally decelerated to 20 mph and the check engine light illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.a mechanic recommended that the vct phasers be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on three occasions however, the failure recurred.the failure mileage was 3,635 and the current mileage was 37,000. Updated 6/27/14
Came up to stoplight, applied brake, engine would not slow down.put truck in park, engine continued at 4krpm.pressed accelerator and engine returned to normal.4th time this happened since i bought vehicle new.ford dealer says code doesn't show up and can't do anything.i have driven 75,000 miles and this is third ford van and never had problem like this before.
I was driving down the highway and began to exit. The vehicle just stopped! i was able to coast to access road. After i was towed to a repair shop and received diagnosis, i began to price shop. By doing this i was informed that there were other ford trucks that had the same repairs recently. I also encountered another owner that had the same diagnosis/repairs completed. The cost was close to 10grand. The diagnosis was the high pressure fuel pump. Due to the sudden failure of operation of the vehicle while driving high speeds i feel this warrented an investigation. I find myself fortunate that there were no accidents, injuries or loss of life.

The contact owns a 2009 ford f-350. The contact stated that the brakes failed. In addition, the contact attempted to change the tire but the tire would not turn once installed. The contact called the dealer and was advised that the brake system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the brakes were most likely rusted as a result of not being used for some time. The failure mileage was 11,000...updated 09-26-12 the consumer statedthe brakes only slow the vehicle down. They do not stop the vehicle. The consumer contacted smith motors in washington, n.j. And was advised to slam on the brakes to try release. Updated 10/1/2012

I own a 2009 ford f350 king ranch that i purchased used 2 years ago from a nissan dealership. On multiple occasions, the front end violently shakes when it encounters any deformity on the road. The shakes are so intense and uncontrollable the i have to try and pull off the road to not cause an accident. The shaking doesnot stop until the vehicle is completely stopped. I have had the body mounts replaced, an alignment- because i was told proper tire inflation would fix it-the shocks replaced, and steering stabilizer replaced. None of these remedied the situation. I am trying to sell the vehicle but since the different mechanics we have used don't seem to be able to diagnose/fix the problem, i am unable it to sell it with this commonly known 'death wobble' that ford is aware of. I also can't safely drive it. I have also had to replace, in the last month, a complete faulty fuel system ($9,000) and the previous owner, in 2011, had to replace the entire motor-which we were unaware of.
When my truck is driven over a pothole, onto a bridge, or any change in elevation in the driving surface, the vehicle will shake violently.the shaking is so violent the vehicle must be stopped to avoid losing control.it feels as if the front end will literally come apart.this began near the end of november and has continued to get worse and happen more frequently.i have contacted ford motor company and was told there is no recall and to keep records of my repairs if there ever is one.the problem is the track bar and the cost to fix this "death wobble" is approximately 1200 dollars parts and labor.i now have a 50,000 dollar truck that is not safe for my family to ride in.this problem will certainly cause fatalities if it hasn't already.i am a cdl driver and if i can't control the vehicle then i doubt anyone else can either.
I received a letter from ford motor company concerning my pickup truck listed in complaint.it addressed issues with steering and front wheel vibrations and oscillations on the vehicle.however, it just gives suggestions such as checking proper inflation of tires, etc.however, in the last 2-3 years, i have spent an estimated $3000.00 on repairs to the front suspension of this vehicle due to severe "death wobble" issues, which scare the hell out of you when it happens.since completion of the work completed, i still have issues with vibrations and oscillations with my ford f350.i don't understand why a recall has been issued for this problem. I feel that ford company needs to take responsibility for this issue and make good to their loyal customers, instead of sending me worthless letters of advice to "check the proper inflation of my tires, when in actuality, my tires are fine.....the ford truck is the thing with issues.come on ford.....fix your bad!!!!!!!!
When i hit a rough patch in the road with the front left side, i get a violent shaking in the front end and almost loose control.control is regained when you slow to 5-10mph. I have had this issue for awhile and have had the front end inspected with no defects.after doing some research, this condition has a name "the death wobble."ford has issued 2 tsbs # 18-2268 and #06-2214.no one has mentioned these tsbs to me.this is a very dangerous condition as it take control of the vehicle.i also understand this is an issue with other heavy duty trucks from dodge.
Sudden extreme wobble of front end while driving (known as death wobble) happened many times in past two years

This keep happening to me i have taken my truck in two times and have waited there at ford for 4-6 hours at a time. So when i am driving along and the road turns left and i hit a small pot hole my entire front left end starts bouncing like a basketball. Ford tells me it's my tires i have gotten them balanced and even new ones on the back. I have to come to very slow speed to make it stop bouncing. This usually takes place on the freeway going 65-75 miles an hour. I have almost been in 3 accidents now. I get scared driving on the freeway now because of it and now take turn much slower. This is not safe and they say nothing is wrong ...........

Front tires suspension bounces like a basket ball uncontrollably at high speed (60 mph+) if you hit a chug hole on street..will definitely cause head on collision and injury or death. You have to almost come to a complete stop to make the suspension stop bouncing.

Pulling my lincoln rushmore 5th wheel, i had three separate blowouts on my 5th wheel. Once on way out to campground and two lost coming home.camper was built in 2014 and i have less then 1500 miles on these new goodyear marathon st 235/80r16 tires.the tread separated from the tire on all three at speeds from 65 miles per hour on first tire, and 47 and 58 miles per hour on the other two coming home. I still have one of these with me. With exception of fender damage on one side and support straps broke, it was not much damage, but feel these tires are at fault.should be a recall on these>very unsafe !!! my wife was following me and the tread broke up in small pieces all from the outside of tire.the sidewalls and underlayment of the tire was still intact. This camper is too new to see these types of problems. First tire was on the interstate highway 485 and the second was on a highway between hickory and lincolnton.tire dot # 2v un 1lhx on all three tires.i have two left from same camper with same codes.i do not trust these tires!!!but always thought goodyear was good tire.i check the tire pressure constantly and was at 71 to 75 lbs when tire was cold.the tire says it must not exceed 80 lbs cold.
