2010 Ford F-250 Sd Problems

FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE AKA DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE BECAME SEVERELY UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH) AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD, FRONT OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. HAD TO SLOW VEHICLE TO 25 MPH TO STOP SHAKING.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY HIGHWAY IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP OR GO OVER AN OVERPASS AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 35MPH THE SUSPENSION AND FRONT WHEELS START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WILL LOSE CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT WILL STOP. THE VIOLENT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. SINCE THIS OCCURS ON MAJOR OVERPASSES AND TURNS IT HAS AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION ISSUE COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE NHTSA MUST INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD IMMEDIATELY OR IT WILL RESULT IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND DATA TO SUGGEST THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING OF THESE VEHICLES. A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED ALONG WITH A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF THE DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION AND STEERING ASSEMBLIES OF THESE VEHICLES.

HOSE TO RADIATOR LEAKING, TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY SAID NEW HOSES AND NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR. SAID IT WAS STILL UNDER FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY. FORD WARRANTY DENIED THE NEW RADIATOR AND HOSES SAYING THAT THE HOSE LEAK CRACKED THE RADIATOR AND THAT WAS THE OWNERS FAULT. TRUCK HAS JUST UNDER 44K MILES AND IS GARAGED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WHAT GOOD IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, FIRST. AND SECOND, WHY SHOULD A RADIATOR GO BAD IN SHORT TIME. QUOTE FOR JOB WAS OVER $2000.00.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 F-250 SD, 6.4L PICKUP. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A CITY SURFACE STREET AND LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND NOTICED A THICK WHITE CLOUD BANK BILLOWING BEHIND ME, GENERATING FROM MY EXHAUST PIPE. I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK, THINKING MY TRUCK JUST BLEW AN ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT BACK TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIX IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT,? FORD IS AWARE OF THE SMOKING ISSUE AND CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL WITH NO FIX?. THEY MENTIONED THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY MOISTURE CONDENSATION. THAT DOESN'T SEEM FEASIBLE SINCE HERE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THERE?S MOISTURE IN THE AIR JUST ABOUT ALL YEAR LONG. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BLEACH THIS HEAVY, THICK SMOKE, ABOUT EVERY 20 TO 40 MILES, FOR APPROX. 45-120 SECONDS. I?M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A PUBLIC HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT BILLOWS, I CAN SEE CARS PEELING OUT FROM BEHIND ME, THINKING MY TRUCK IS ON FIRE. I'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE PULL ALONG SIDE MY TRUCK AND GIVE ME AN EARFUL, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OBSCENE GESTURES. IT'S IRONIC THAT THIS 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE HAS BEEN ADVERTISED AS CLEAN BURNING, LESS POLLUTION, IF A POLICE OFFICER OBSERVES THIS, I COULD GET A TRAFFIC CITATION. WE HAVE EXPRESSED OUR SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND RE-SALE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, (NOT TO MENTION HOW EMBARRASSING THIS IS WHEN THE TRUCK BILLOWS). MANY PHONE CONVERSATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT. AS WELL AS BRINGING THE TRUCK BACK AND WE STILL CANNOT GET THIS RESOLVED. IT'S A HEAD SCRATCHER TO ME AS TO WHY THE SALESMAN DIDN'T MENTION THIS ISSUE WHEN WE FIRST LOOKED AT THE TRUCK, SURELY HE SHOULD KNOW THE PRODUCT HE IS TRYING TO GET RID OF. *TR

ISSUE #1 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AFTER HITTING A BAD BUMP ON ROAD, THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WHEEL HOP. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 40 MPH. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK ON THE INTERSTATE. ISSUE #2. THE TRUCK CAB BUSHINGS WILL CRUMBLE IN YOUR HAND. THIS CAUSES A VERY HARSH RIDE OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMPS. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP THIS IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ONLY 62K MILES ON IT. IT COST OVER $1600 TO HAVE THESE 2 ISSUES FIXED. I HAVE 3 OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCK THAT HAD TO HAVE THE SAME THINGS REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAY THEY REPLACE THE SAME THINGS ON 3 TO 4 TRUCKS A MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE.

2010 F-250 40K MILES HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SINCE PURCHASED 14 SERVICE REPAIRS AND 8 OF THE 14 REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MAJOR, TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AND DOWN SHIFTING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HAD TO BE REPAIRED, CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER WHILE ON A HIGHLY CONGESTED HIGHWAY, IT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A FEW TIMES NOW, DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FUEL, SPEEDOMETER. EGR VALVES WENT OUT AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WITH A 30 FOOT TRAILER, WHICH THAT HAPPENED TWICE, FORD SAYS WELL THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE DEALT WITH. THIS HAS RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHICH CAUSES TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN MAJOR ISSUES OR ACCIDENTS, TRUCK WAS PURCHASED TO HAUL A TRAILER AND WE DO NOT TRUST IT AT ALL SINCE IT HAS BROKE DOWN SO MANY TIMES. WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR LOADED OR UNLOADED IT HAS A HESITATION BEFORE IT GOES, SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED, FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALSO. WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST SYSTEM IS ON IT STARTS TO DECELERATE AND YOU LOSE A GOOD AMOUNT OF POWER. *KB

THE DPF / CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER INITIATED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, THUS, DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE BOOST AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. THE DRASTIC LOSS OF BOOST AND POWER PUT ME IN IMMINENT DANGER DUE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE AND I WERE IN THE BROADSIDE POSITION. A MOTORIST HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE BY RIDING ONTO AND OVER THE MEDIAN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO RETRIEVE HIS NAME AND PHONE NUMBER. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE TEAM FORD LAS VEGAS FOR REPAIR, HOWEVER, THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT ACCORDING TO FORD'S SPECIFICATION. ON 3/10/11 SERVICE MANAGER BOB RAHALA CONTACTED FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS IN MY PRESENCE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED "FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WE ARE WORKING ON IT; YOU WILL BE CONTACTED WITHIN 48 HOURS WITH THE FURTHER INFORMATION". I RECEIVED THE CALL FROM FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS 23 HOURS LATER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED "THE TRUCK IS OPERATING ACCORDING TO SPEC, THERE IS NO PROBLEM". PLEASE BE ADVISED, FORD IS AWARE OF THE BOOST AND POWER LOSS WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER MODE IS IN EFFECT. MY FORD CASE NUMBER IS 0527870691 WHICH FORD CLOSED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES ACTION IMMEDIATELY.

TIRES REPLACED DUE TO BELT SEPARATION AT THE EDGE OF THE TREAD, CAUSING A SEVERE VIBRATION ABOVE 35MPH. THE TIRES DOT WAS CHECKED WITH MANUFACTURERS LIST OF RECALLS AND EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2009, THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED. I FEEL THEY SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED SINCE THE SAME SET OF CONDITIONS ARE APPLICABLE TO THESE TIRES.

THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF ALMOST CAUSING IT TO FALL APART. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT ANY UNEVEN ROAD ABOVE 55 MPH. YOU CAN'T STEER AND HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND BRING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH BEFORE IT STOPS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING TO STOP AND BRING IT DOWN TO 30MPH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN LOS ANGELES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK PICKED UP SPEED BY ITSELF UNTIL IT REACHED 95 MPH THEN THE ENGINE BOGGED DOWN REPEATLY,THEN I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WORKED OK UNTIL EVENING THEN THE TRUCK FAILED TO START AND THE STARTER KEPT TURNING WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE KEY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AT LEAST 15-20 MINUTES, THEN WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF. ENGINE BEGINS TO HESITATE, SPUTTER, SHAKE AND LEADS TO A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND BEGINS TO BLOW TONS OF WHITE SMOKE, I , MEAN A CLOUD OF SMOKE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS HUMID OR RAINING OUT AND EVEN IN BETWEEN. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE. JUST PICTURE THIS SCENARIO PLAYING OUT, AS YOU ATTEMPT TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, PASSING OR GETTING ON A HIGHWAY, PULLING A TRAILER AND CLIMBING A HILL OR MOUNTAIN TOTALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE SAME CONDITION MANIFESTING ITSELF.THE EVIDENCE IS ON THE INTERNET DIESEL FORUMS AND BLOGS AND FORD SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT GENERATE ANY TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, WHAT A NIGHTMARE : VEHICLES AFFECTED ARE FORD F-250,350,450 ETC SUPERDUTY 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU PAY UPWARDS OF $ 50,000.00 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND THE MANUFACTURER ONLY MAKES EXCUSES FOR AN OBVIOUS MODEL WIDE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM/ CONDITION HAS MANIFESTED OVER 25 TIMES IN MY VEHICLE IN ONLY 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM SCARED TO PASS, PULL TRAILERS, CROSS INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THIS CONDITION LEAVES THE CAR POWERLESS FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS AT WILL REPEATEDLY. WE NEED YOUR HELP, TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO COME CLEAN AND OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT ONCE AND FOR ALL IT AFFECTS 2008-2010 MODEL YEARS, THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS ON THE FIRST BUILD OF VEHICLES, THERE ARE 3 BUILDS I BELIEVE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT IN THE LATER BUILDS. WOW UNBELIEVABLE. *TR
