2006 Ford F-250 Sd Problems

FRONT END VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AROUND 60MPH WHICH TURNS INTO A REAL BAD SHIMMY SOMETIMES. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. HAVE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF NOTICES FROM FORD MOTOR CO. THAT TELL ME THEY ARE AWARE AND TO JUST SLOW DOWN WHEN IT HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I HAD THE TRUCK SINCE 2011. NO SPECIFIC DATES.

WHILE DRIVING AND GOING OVER A BUMP BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCKS FRONT END STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOSE CONTROL. NOTE ONLY DRIVING POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE (3) OCCASIONS MOSTLY RECENTLY 7/17/16 AND 7/19/16 WHILE TRAVELING S/B ON INTERSTATE 95 AND TRAVELING N/B ON INTERSTATE 95. THE DEFECT CAUSES YOU TO DRIVE AT REDUCED SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCK WITH STRAIGHT FRONT AXLES. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

PULLING OUT FROM A STOP, TURNED LEFT AT ABOUT 25 MPH VERY TIGHT PULL ON STEERING TO LEFT, PULLING WHEEL TO LEFT (FELT LIKE LOSS OF PWR STEERING) WHEN IT CAME BACK TRUCK SHOT TO RIGHT. FELT LIKE THERE WAS 20/30DEG PLAY IN WHEEL THEN CAME OUT OF IT. HAD IT CHECKED COULD NOT FIND ANY THING THIS STARTED APPOX 3/4 MONTHS AGO. PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEEL GOT VERY TIGHT AGAIN , STOPPED TURNED WHEEL WAY LEFT, WAY RIGHT, WAY LEFT THEN STARTED GOING EASY AGAIN. CALLED FORD DEALER TODAY AND SAID BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH STEERING BOXES ON THESE TRUCKS, IT WILL COST ABOUT 1100.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM INTERNET HAS HUNDREDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE IF FORD DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED VERY BAD OR KILLED. *JS

MY TRUCK HAD A EARLIER CRASH DUE TO A FAULTY STEERING BOX IN DECEMBER 2013. THE BODY SHOP REPLACED THIS- WITH A FACTORY STEERING BOX. WE NOTICED A LITTLE TIGHTNESS ON ONE SIDE AND HAD THE BODY SHOP LOOK AT IT AGAIN. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. WE HAD THE TRUCK GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH (3/8/14) AND IT TOOK 3 MEN TO TRY TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEN THE TRUCK CAME OUT OF THE WASH. ONCE AGAIN WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED. *TR

HEADS WENT BAD NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADS AND NEW HEAD STUDS BECAUSE THE OLD HEAD STUDS STRETCHED AND THE HEADS WARPED , ALSO HAD TO DO AN EGR DELETE . I WAS TOLD IT WAS BUILT PROOFING AND IT HAS TO BE DONE TO ALL 6.0 LTRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT HOLD. HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED FOR ADJUSTMENT SEVERAL TIMES. IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AS IT HAS NO PARK PINS. ALTHOUGH MY INSURANCE COVERED IT, IT ACTUALLY ROLLED INTO ANOTHER BUILDING ON MY PROPERTY. I HAVE TO US A WOOD BLOCK AGAINST THE WHEEL TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING ON ALL BUT THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCURRENCES WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED.

IN LATE 2011, WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN HIGHWAY 90 EAST IN PASCAGOULA, MS, THE TRUCK BEGAN SLOW DOWN AND PULL DRAMATICALLY TO THE RIGHT AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES. I MANAGED TO WRESTLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND, IN COMBINATION WITH THE SLOWING SPEED, BROUGHT THE TRUCK SAFELY TO A STOP IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN ABOUT 1 MILE. I INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT RIGHT ROTOR WAS SMOKING AND GLOWING RED HOT. APPARENTLY THE BRAKE CALIPER HAD SEIZED AFTER APPLICATION. I WENT INSIDE WALMART TO KILL TIME AND LET THE BRAKES COOL OFF, HOPING THAT WHEN COOLED, THE CALIPER WOULD RELEASE AND THE TRUCK WOULD BE DRIVABLE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1-1/2 HOURS, I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK AND NOTED THAT THE WHEEL WAS NOT SMOKING, BUT WAS STILL RADIATING HEAT. I BEGAN TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND IT DROVE WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE ISSUES UNTIL I APPLIED THE BRAKES AGAIN TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK WAS NOW PULLING TO THE LEFT. EXPECTING A SIMILAR ISSUE, I DECIDED TO DRIVE DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN PASCAGOULA. HOWEVER, UPON NEEDING TO APPLY THE BRAKES AGAIN, THEY DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP AS THE REGULAR BRAKES HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR BRAKE ISSUES (PULLING AND HEATING FROM SEIZED CALIPERS) AND IN JUNE 2015 HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE TO THE ONE IN 2011. LOOKING AT BLOGS AND COMPLAINT SITES, FORD'S SUPER DUTY SERIES OF TRUCKS, AS WELL AS F-150S, ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BRAKE ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX. PLEASE HELP. I'M TIRED OF SHELLING OUT $2,000+ WHEN ALL I SHOULD HAVE TO DO IS REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. DUE TO THE SUDDEN AND SEVERE "PULL" AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF STOPPING ABILITY, THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM.

I HAVE BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL T/A 275 70 R18 TIRES ON MY 2006 FORD F250 WHICH WERE PURCHASED 25 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE 22000 MILES ON THEM. WHILE TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER I EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND CAMPER FOR NY VISIBLE SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. EVERYTHING A APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER SO I CONTINUED ON DRIVING SLOWER. AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES THE TIRE COMPLETELY BLEW UP DAMAGING MY VEHICLE AND SENDING THE TREAD OF THE TIRE ACROSS THE OTHER LANES TRAFFIC WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD LUCK. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 200 MILES I STARTED GETTING THE SAME VIBRATION FROM THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. FEARING ANOTHER BLOW OUT AND HAVING NO SPARE TIRE I PULLED OVER AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN A CAMPGROUND. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT OUT TO GET TIRES AND UPON THE TIRE PERSONAL INSPECTING THE TIRE THEY SAID THAT IT HAD A AIR BUBBLE UNDER THE TREAD AND THAT IT TOO WOULD HAVE MORE THAN LIKELY BLOWN OUT ON ME. I DIDN'T THINK THAT THIS WAS COINCIDENCE ANYMORE. SO UPON GETTING HOME I CALLED BF GOODRICH AND MADE A COMPLAINT. THEN I RESEARCHED THE TIRES AND SAW THAT A BUNCH OF THEM WERE RECALLED. JUST THAT MINE WAS NOT WITHIN THE THE MANUFACTURE'S DATE CODE WITH IN A FEW WEEKS. I FEEL THAT IF I HADN'T HAD THAT CAMPER BEHIND ME THAT I PROBABLY COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK WITH POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH A FULL SET OF THE EXACT SAME TIRE BRAND, TYPE, SIZE, AND LOAD RANGE. THE NEW TIRES WERE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WHICH HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THESE: BELT FAILURE. TIRE FAILURE: BELTS BEGAN TO SEPARATE LEADING TO UNEVEN WEAR AND EVENTUALLY FAILURE OF THE SIDEWALL. *TR

MY FACTORY 20" WHEEL CRACKED ON ME AND AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH SEEMS TO BE A NORMAL PROBLEM

2006 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY CREW CAB 4X4 WITH FACTORY 20X8 ALLOY WHEELS. RT FRONT WHEEL CRACKED WITH NO IMPACT. CRACK IS APROX 10" LONG AND RUNS JUST BELOW THE BEAD FOR ABOUT 10" DID NOT LOOSE AIR. I WAS TURNING RT AND FELT A STRANGE JOLT KIND OF LIKE THE TIRE ROLLING OFF A SMALL ROCK. ONLY FELT IT ONCE. CONTINUED DRIVING TO WORK. LATER INSPECTED THE WHEEL AND FOUND THE CRACK. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THESE WHEELS. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POSTINGS ON SIMILAR WHEEL CRACKS ON INTERNET FORUMS. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS IN THE 85000 MILE RANGE. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN MY 2006 F250 SD, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HORN HONKED AND STAYED ON (NOT LIKE HONK HONK BUT LIKE HHHHOOONNNKK) I HAD TO STOP AND PULL THE FUSE TO GET THE HORN TO TURN OFF. IT IS A SAFETY RISK DUE THE WAY OTHER DRIVERS GET STARTLED BUY THIS SUDDEN NOISE. AND MAY VERY WELL CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR KILL SOME ONE IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT IS HAPPENS ALOT IN THE 03-06 F250, AND WHEN FORD FIXED MY TRUCK THEY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND HORN ASSEMBLY(AT A COST OF 1486.80). STATING THAT IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. SO MY LIFE COULD HAVE VERY MUCH BEEN IN DANGER......... THANKS FORD... *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 F250 DIESEL SUPER DUTY (HAVE ABOUT 35000 MILES ON IT) PULLING A 26 FOOT RV TRAVEL TRAILER LOST THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, CRUISE CONTROL RESET AND BASICALLY ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. THE TRUCK GOT REAL QUIET. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESTORED AND ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON, THE DASH WAS THE ABS LIGHT. THE ABS LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 100 MILES AND THEN WENT OFF. DROVE ANOTHER 200 MILES WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO FORD BUT THERE WERE NO ENGINE CODES STORED AND PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RECREATED. *TR

THE TRUCK SHOWED NO SIGNS OF TROUBLE LEADING UP TO THE EVENT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MILES AN HOUR AND HEADING AROUND A RIGHT HAND CORNER IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK HIT AN INDENTATION IN THE ROAD SURFACE WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND DRIFT INTO THE ONCOMING LANE CAUSING THE TRUCKS MIRROR TO HIT A BOX TRUCK AND SMASH INTO THE INTERIOR OF MY TRUCK. WHEN THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN TO BELOW 35, I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OFF TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE BOX TRUCK, APPARENTLY NOT REALIZING WHAT HAD HAPPENED, CONTINUED ON WITHOUT STOPPING. THE MIRROR WAS DESTROYED, GLASS WAS COVERING THE INTERIOR OF MY TRUCK, AND I SUFFERED MINOR CUTS ON MY FACE AND ARM. I RETURNED HOME WITH MY TRUCK AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH, BUT STILL COULD FEEL A SHUDDER WHEN THE TRUCK HIT EITHER A RAISED BUMP OR AN INDENTATION IN THE ROAD. THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK, BUT NOT THE MIRROR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE MIRROR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAS NOT HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE OLD PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WOULD NO LONGER GO BELOW 26 MPH, EVEN WITH VEHICLE STOPPED AND IGNITION TURNED OFF. DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE A SPEED CONSTANTLY 26 MPH FASTER THAN ACTUAL SPEED. BROUGHT TO DEALER WHERE DEALER ORDERED AND LATER REPLACED ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SECOND PROBLEM INVOLVED PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM FELL OFF WHILE IN OPERATION DRIVING DURING RAIN. DEALER REPLACED WIPER ARM. *JB

TRUCK HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT. A SHIMMY AND VIBRATION WHENEVER GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF IMPERFECTION ON THE ROADWAY. FROM A CONSTANT VIBRATION UP TO A SEVERE ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SHIMMY. TRUCK WILL EVEN HOP SIDEWAYS WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL PATCH JOB ON THE HWY. I HAVE BOUGHT NEW TIRES, KEEP MY TIRE PRESSURE CONSTANT AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP IF A FIX IS KNOWN. THE LAST SET OF TIRES WERE RUINED DUE TO CUPPING. AT $1300.00 A SET, I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES, BUT MORE THEN THAT, I WOULD HATE TO BE THE ONE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF FORD HAS COME UP WITH A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

UPDATED 04/07/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED BRAKING WAS INEFFECTIVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. UPDATED 04/28/11.

FUEL TANK STRAPS FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AND FUEL TANK FELL TO GROUND WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE SHOULDER AND TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS AND TURBO HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

I HAVE A 2006 F250 DIESEL, SUPERDUTY, SUPERCAB, LONG BED, 4X4. ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AREA, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINE LOOPS DOWN BELOW THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. ON THE LEFT SIDE IT LOOPS UP. ON ALL FORD TRUCKS THAT I HAVE SEEN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 2006, BOTH SIDES LOOP UP. THIS IS A 4X4 TRUCK. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINE LOOP DOWN, AS THE LOWEST POINT ON THE VEHICLE, ON A TRUCK THAT WILL BE USED OFF ROAD. THIS TRUCK IS USED ON A RANCH AND FOR TRAILERING HORSES, SO THE POSSIBILITY OF DRIVING OVER BRANCHES AND ROCKS THAT COULD CATCH ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINE IS HIGH. IN THIS DOWNWARD POSITION, IT IS LIKELY TO BREAK IF IT HITS A ROCK OR BRANCHES. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALER AND FORD CORPORATE TO FIX IT, BUT THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT MODIFY THE VEHICLE DESIGN. I HAVE PHOTOS THAT I CAN SEND, BUT I DO NOT SEE WHERE TO ATTACH ON THIS CONTACT FORM. I BELIEVE THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINE SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO LOOP UP TO BE IN A SAFER POSITION AND NOT BE THE LOWEST POINT, HANGING BELOW THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER ELECTRIC HEATED SEATS SWITCH IS TOO EASILY TO INADVERTENTLY BUMP INTO THE "ON" POSITION BY DRIVER/PASSENGER LEGS. FORD NEEDS TO REDESIGN A RELOCATION OR RETROFIT KIT TO MOVE THE SWITCH OR CHANGE THE MOMENTARY ON/OFF SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SWITCH. THIS CONDITION HAS MADE ME PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MANY OF TIMES TO LET THE SEAT COOL DOWN WHICH TAKES A WHILE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THIS SITUATION CREATES AN UNEXPECTED SUDDEN HEATING OF THE SEAT AND CAN MAKE THE OPERATOR VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAD PULL OVER AS FAST AS I COULD LEAVING THE TRUCK AT TIMES IN A VULNERABLE LANE OF TRAFFIC. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE FROM FORD CALL ME AT [XXX] OR EMAIL ME AT [XXX]FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
