MY 2016 F350 SUPER DUTY 4WD DISESAL HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WITH ONLY 46,OOO MILES. THE DEALERSHIP AT SEMINOLE FORD, SEMINOLE OKLAHOMA 405-382-2222 TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1200 TO FIX THIS. I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY AND MY VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL FORWARD THE BILL WHEN I RECEIVE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A FACTORY DEFECT THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, I HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE MONTH AGO AND HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW DEF HEATER AT THE TUNE ALMOST $1,000. AT THAT TIME THEY DID THEIR MULTI-POINT INSPECTION WHICH SHOWS THAT THE PARTS THAT FAILED WERE ALL FINE. PLEASE HELP ME AS FORD IS TRYING TO SCREW ME OVER ON A 70K TRUCK WITH MINIMAL MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD PAY FOR NOT THE CONSUMER.

I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF CONTINENTAL TIRES FROM COLONY TIRE LOCATED IN RALEIGH NC IN LATE 2012 EARLY 2014. I DRIVE A F-350 SD. IN AUGUST 2013 I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY SON ON NC I 40 E BOUND AROUND 400 ML MARKER WHEN 1 OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, 1ST BLOW OUT ON THAT TRUCK IN 8 YRS. THE 2 CONTINENTAL TIRE BLEW OUT DECEMBER 12TH 2013 ON I 40 E BOUND ALSO NEAR 411 MILE MARKER. AT THAT TIME I WAS THINKING WHAT ARE THE ODDS BUT AGAIN THINGS HAPPEN. THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING TO GREENVILLE SC. THAT WAS IN FEBRUARY 20, 2014. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. THAT WAS THE THIRD TIRE THAT BLEW IN THAT SAME SET. I HAVE THE LAST 2. I WENT TO TURNKEY TIRE SERVICE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT HE SHOWED ME HOW TO READ THE DOT NUMBER ON THE TIRE. WE LEARNED AT THAT TIME THAT THE TIRE WERE MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2005 AND WAS SOLD IN 2013. I CONTACT CONTINENTAL TIRE AND OFFERED THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME EXAMINED THE TIRES THAT I HAD LEFT AND THEY DECLINED. THEY DID WANT ME TO SEND THEM THE REMAINING 2 TIRES THAT I HAD BUT I DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD GET RID OF THE ONLY TWO TIRES THAT LINK ME AND THESE TIRES TO CONTINENTAL TIRE. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN OR SHOULD DO AT THIS POINT. WHEN I WENT INTO COLONY TIRE, THEY HAD TO ORDER THOSE TIRES. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ORDERED THEM FROM BUT IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO GET IN. *TR

WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 55MPH ON A 2006 F350 SUPER DUTY 4X4 WHEN I WENT OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A VEHICLE ON MY RIGHT HAND SIDE. THOUGH I HAD EXPERIENCED A FLAT BUT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL WHEELS IS FINE. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS 2006 FORD F350 PURCHASED DEC. 2005. NOVEMBER 2010 I HAD A 20" OEM FORD WHEEL CRACK. CRACK WAS 5" LONG RUNNING PARALLEL WITH THE OUTSIDE RIM EDGE, 1" IN, AND BETWEEN THE SPOKES. REPLACED WITH A USED OEM WHEEL. MAY 2012 I HAD ANOTHER WHEEL CRACK WHICH RESULTED IN A BLOWOUT AT 60MPH. THIS CRACK RAN 90 DEGREES FROM THE RIM EDGE TO 1.25" UNDER THE BEAD RESULTING IN AIR LOSS. REPLACED WITH A USED OEM WHEEL AND NEW OEM 20" TIRE. AUG.1 2012 A THIRD WHEEL CRACKED EXACTLY LIKE THE FIRST RESULTING IN RAPID AIR LOSS AND BLOWOUT ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING 60MPH. CRACK IS 6" LONG RUNNING PARALLEL WITH THE RIM EDGE,1" IN, AND GOES BETWEEN THE SPOKES. THREE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR FORD OEM 20" ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE CRACKED ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO KNOWN STRESSES I AM AWARE OF THAT CAUSED THESE FAILURES. I FEEL FORD SPECED A WHEEL THAT IS UNDERRATED FOR THE VEHICLE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I59 THROUGH MERIDIAN MISSISSIPPI AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 PM YESTERDAY ON 06/22/2012. I CAME ACROSS AN OVERPASS AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE ROUGH SURFACE OF THE BRIDGE CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO CONTROL/CORRECT IT BY HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY AND BRAKING. IT STARTED TO SUBSIDE AND THEN STARTED AGAIN. I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND FIRM, AND BRAKED HARDER UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPPED. I HAD SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH BEFORE IT HAD STOPPED. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN MATTER OF SECONDS. THOUGH FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE TRUCK EARLIER ON THIS DAY, I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. I HAD RECENTLY CROSSED OVER LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN BRIDGE IN LOUISIANA JUST HOURS EARLIER. *TT

EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND SHIMMING AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I COULD GO ON. I THOUGH I MUST OF HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT NO. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY TIGHTENED SOME THINGS AND ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL GARAGE TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED, BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS FINE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ABOUT TWICE A YEAR WITH NO REASON, JUST DEPENDS HOW I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS LAST TIME IN OCTOBER 2011, I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE ON INTERSTATE PA 80 IN THE PASSING LANE, WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD BEFORE I COULD STOP. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I WAS READY TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER, AND TELL THEM, ITS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. I GOT THIS LETTER FROM FORD DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE CORRECT STATING "A SEVERE" VIBRATION, BUT TOTALLY WRONG SAYING THIS CONDITION RESULTS FROM SIGNIFICANT TIRE UNDER-INFLATION. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN MY TRUCK WITH SIGNIFICANT TIRE UNDER-INFLATION. THIS SHIMMING CANNOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, BUT THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION I GOT FROM THE DEALER. I WONDER HOW LONG FORD REALLY NEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I SHOULD BE ON RECORD BACK AT MY DEALER SOON AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
