2010 Ford F-250 complaints

WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN A ROAD GOING OVER 50 ITS A TERRIBLE SHACKS AND WE HAVE REPLACED A LOT OF STUFF MECHANICS REALLY UNKNOWING THE PROBLEM. AND PROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED ALL THAT MONEY WE PAID FOR THE TRUCK AND I PRAY THAT TRUCK DON'T BE THE DEATH OF ME AND MY KIDS WE NEED SOME HELP ON GETTING OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION FIXES WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL BAD CLOSE TO DEATH EXPERIENCE IN THAT TRUCK WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY ITS SHACKS UNCONTROLLABLY. TONIGHT I LIKE TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO UNCOMFORTABLE SHACKS.

2010 FORD F-250 WITH A HORRIBLE SHIMMY BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH. BECOMES VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER GOING OVER SMALL BUMBS IN ROAD, AND UNABLE TO STEER. TO STOP THIS I HAD TO SLOW BELOW 50 MPH. CURRENTLY 82000 MILES HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NO ONE AT FORD SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. SEARCH ON THE INTRANET APPEARS TO DESCRIBE IT AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

RADIATOR LEAK AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. I JUST BOUGHT A USED FORD F250 DIESEL FX4 LARIAT. NICE TRUCK BUT NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SO FAR. IT HAD 128K ON IT. JUST NOTICED TODAY THAT EVERY TIME I FILL THE RESIVOIR IT LEAKS OUT. LOOKS LIKE THE RADIATOR LEAKING WHERE THE PLASTIC AND ALUMINUM MEET. OVER A THOUSAND INSTALLED. THEN THE WHINE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BELT ENDED UP BEING BROKE OFF EXHAUST BOLTS ON MANIFOLD. 16 HRS AT $1300 PLUS PARTS MAYBE ANOTHER $130. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS FORD AT ALL. SAD THAT'S WHAT MY LAST FOUR VEHICLES WERE.

FUEL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ON INTERSTATE

EXPERIENCED VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AT ALL SPEEDS ON LOCAL COUNTY ROAD. TOOK THE F250 TO SUMMERVILLE FORD TO BE ALIGNED AND BALANCED. FORD FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE'S STEEL BELT HAD SEPARATED AND REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SAME BRAND AND SIZE. CONTINENTAL LT275/65R18.

CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC M+S LT275/65R18E 123/120S IS THE ORIGINAL TIRE ON OUR 2010 TRUCK. WE HAD TO REPLACE 1 TIRE DUE TO STEEL BELT SEPARATION. I SEE CONTINENTAL RECALLED 2008 AND 2009 BUT DON'T SEE MENTION OF 2010 BEING RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A SLIGHT BUMP AT 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE SEVERELY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI TRAC RADIAL TIRES, SIZE DLT 275/65/R18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH A SEVERE VIBRATION WAS SUDDENLY PRESENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. ON 2/21/2016, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,800.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY ON THE HIGHWAY I DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART WHILE STILL IN MOTION. I TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKE BUT THAT SEEMED TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL IN HOPES TO ALIGN SOME DEFUNCT COMPONENT. NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP EXCEPT TO LET OFF THE GAS AND ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND AVOID A POTENTIAL FATAL ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY WAS A FRIGHTENING EVENT, IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE AROUND ME SO NOT TO COLLIDE WITH OTHER DRIVERS.

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT END BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY LIKE YOU HAVE JUST BLOWN A TIRE. WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN IT SETTLES BACK. THIS PROBLEM WAS CHECKED BY AN ASE MECHANIC AND SUGGESTED I BALANCE MY TIRES. AFTER DOING SO, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

WHILE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THROUGH A CURVED AREA OF HIGHWAY, VEHICLE HIT A SMALL BUMP. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL. ONCE I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH VEHICLE STOPPED SHAKING. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM, A WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN DRIVING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME STOPPED. SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE SAW THE INCIDENT AND SAID THAT MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I CHECKED SUSPENSION AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY OBVIOUS PROBLEM. I CHECKED LUG NUTS AND ALL WERE TIGHT. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A VACATION AND CONTINUED DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 125 MORE MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET, I AM SURE THAT I EXPERIENCED WHAT IS BEING REFERRED TO ON THE INTERNET AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES AND IS ALL STOCK. TIRES HAVE RELATIVELY GOOD TREAD AND WERE INFLATED AT PROPER PRESSURE. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I AM FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT. IT FELT VERY DANGEROUS. I WANT TO REPORT THIS SO THAT FORD WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

AFTER HITTING A ROUGH SPOT ON INTERSTATE 81 MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. THE ALIGNMENT IS NOW OUT AND THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER SEVERAL EPISODES OF DEATH WOBBLE. IF FORD AND THE NHTSA DOES NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AFTER KNOWING IT THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE THEIR PANTS SUED OFF OF THEM AND THEN THROWN UNDER THE JAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL READ THIS AND DO THEIR JOB AND NOT LET THIS GO ON LIKE CHEVY WITH THE COBALT KEY PROBLEM !!!!!!!!

WHILE DRIVING ON CROWDED INTERSTATE HWY. VEHICLE MAKES CONTACT WITH A EXPANSION JOINT AND TRUCK GOES INTO SEVERE WOBBLE AND SHAKING. HAD TO BRAKE SPEED IN MOVING TRAFFIC TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO CURE WOBBLE. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. LUCKILY DRIVERS WERE COURTEOUS ENOUGH TO LET ME GET IT UNDER CONTROL WITHOUT RUNNING INTO MY REAR AND CAUSING A PILE UP. HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN REPAIR SHOP TO INSPECT WITH NO IDENTIFIABLE SOLUTION. NOW HAVE A FEAR OF RETURNING BACK HOME THE 500 MILES. WIFE IS PARANOID AND FEARFUL. THIS IS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE IN THE LAST YEAR. MANUFACTURERS NEED TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR. *JS

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I WENT OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT JUMPED INTO THE NEXT LANE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE AND NO ONE GOT HURT. MY FAMILY AND OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING DAMPER WAS BAD. I'M SORRY BUT A BAD STEERING DAMPER WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING 65 MPH OVER A SMALL BUMP SHOULD NOT MAKE YOUR VEHICLE JUMP INTO THE NEXT LANE AND LOOSE CONTROL. THIS MUST BE FIXED BY FORD. I AM READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALL OF THE FRONT END PARTS REPLACED AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNS AGAIN. WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT THIS? DO NOT HAVE VIN AT THIS TIME MY TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERS. *TR

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2010 FORD F250 KING RANCH 4X4 MY TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE SERIOUS SHIMMING IN THE FRONT IN WHEN I WOULD HIT BUMPS ON HIGHWAYS. THIS SCHIM IS LISTED AS THE DEATH WOBBLE ON MANY WEBSITES. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT END REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND GOING ON THE FOURTH TIME TODAY WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. I SPOKE TO MY SERVICE MANAGER AND ASKED IF HE KNEW OF A PERMANENT FIX AND HE SPOKE TO THE SHOP FOREMAN AND ADVISED ME THEY CAN ONLY FIX THIS PROBLEM TEMPOARILY. THIS LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS PULLING MY 35 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER AND ALMOST ROLLED MY TRUCK WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING WHY A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN FILED. YOU CAN GOOGLE F250 DEATH WOBBLE AND YOU WILL SEE TONS OF WEBSITES WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AND COMPLAINTS THAT FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I THINK IF FORD CAN NOT FIX A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS THEN THEY SHOULD REPLACE THESE TRUCKS WITH NEW ONES. IT SEEMS TO BE THE YEAR 2008-2010 WITH THE MAJOR ISSUES. EVERY FRIEND I KNOW THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE TRUCKS HAS SAID THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY ARER SCARED TO DRIVE THEIR TRUCKS. I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME AND I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE FOR EVERYONES SAFETY. I AM LOOKING INTO THE LEMON LAW TO SEE IF I FALL INTO THE REQUIEMENTS TO FILE A CLAIM FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

YESTERDAY, I NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL LIKE A CLUTCH WAS GOING OUT, ONLY PROBLEM IS MINE IS AN AUTOMATIC. TRUCK ONLY HAS 50K MILES AND I STARTED HAVING THE TAPPING NOISE AROUND 32K MILES. *TR
