On [XXX] we were traveling westbound on [XXX] from Keenesburg, CO in our 2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty at roughly 75mph. We were in the right lane and went over a bump in the road and as soon as we did, the steering wheel and the entire front end of the truck started shaking violently. We pulled onto the shoulder of the highway to slow down/stop. Once the truck stopped shaking, we pulled back into the right lane from the shoulder and shortly before the [XXX] exit we hit another bump in the road and the steering wheel as well as the front end of the truck began violently shaking. We again moved over to the shoulder of the highway, slowing down until we were at a full stop. At that point we decided we weren't going to go to our destination and exited the highway at the [XXX] exit. *We're not entirely sure what component or system failed but believe it to be related to the steering or suspension and yes it is available for inspection. *Our safety was at risk due to the high rate of speed we were traveling when this happened and without any warning whatsoever. Had we not been able to move onto the shoulder to stop the vehicle, who knows what could've happened. Thankfully, there were not a lot of other vehicles on the road both times this occurred. *We are hesitant to operate the truck so it has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. *Again, we are hesitant to operate the truck so it has not been inspected by anyone yet. *No, there were no warnings at all. No warning lamps, no messages, nothing. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Since my vehicle has been in warranty I've had intermittent issues where my vehicle loses track of what gear its in and forces downshift to 1st gear. For the most part this only happened when I was going slower speeds. I told my Ford dealer about it but they said there were no recalls for it. On Wednesday while driving at highway speeds my dash lights indicating the transmission position began to flicker then my vehicle downshifted to first gear locking up the tires and screeching me to a near halt.

While driving 60 mph, in heavy rain, flat roadway the vehicle down shifted from 6th gear to 4th and from 6th gear to 3rd several times. The shift to 3rd from 6th was hard and accompanied by a temporary loss of forward momentum. No check engine light came on. All temperature gauges remained within normal range. The tachometer jumped and fell wildly during each of the events. I pulled off the highway at the next exit, turned off the ignition, and waited a few minutes. I restarted the truck and proceeded without additional problems.

The contact owned a 2014 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving and pulling a trailer, the fuel line detached. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a truck stop. A mobile mechanic determined that the fuel line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving at 75 MPH, the fuel line busted again and was repaired again by the same mobile mechanic. While driving at 75 MPH, the driver noticed fire emerging from the floorboard. The driver sustained third-degree burn injuries to his leg, and medical attention was provided. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The insurance deemed the vehicle a total loss. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000. The VIN was not available.

The fuel injection system is the same as Dodge and Chevrolet. I own a 2014 F350 with a 6.7 Diesel. My truck has been broken down for 6 months, after catastrophic failure in the road due to CP4 fuel injection pump. I continue to look for recalls only to find Dodge and Chevrolet who use same injection pump.

I have experienced an extremely violent vibration/wobbling of the vehicle at freeway speeds on several occasions. During these times, it is very difficult to control breaking, steering the vehicle, making it nearly impossible. I felt very unsafe not only for myself, but also other vehicles around me as I was driving a heavy-duty vehicle on the freeway at a high speed with essentially no control. Although I was shaken up, I was able to regain control of the vehicle and continue on my way. There have been no reports or inspections at this time. Prior to this happening, there were no warnings or messages. This happens twice in 2 days while driving on a long trip. Both times this occurred while driving at 65-70 mph and driving over a small bump in road.

2014 F350 CREW CAB W/LONG BED DIESEL I PARKED ON SLOPED DRIVEWAY WITH SNOW UNDER PASSENGER TIRES. I PLACED IN PARK BUT DID NOT SET PARKING BRAKE. WALKED AWAY FROM VEHICLE AND IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN DRIVEWAY 12 FEET. THE TWO DRIVERS WHEELS WERE BOTH ROLLING, I'M NOT SURE IF PASSENGER WHEELS ROLLED OR SLID. WHY DOES THE TRANSMISSION (IN PARK ) ALLOW THOSE DRIVERS SIDE WHEELS TO ROLL? IS THIS NORMAL?
