2017 Ford F-350 SD complaints

DRW ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE A CORROSION FAILURE WHERE THE TPMS STEM MAKES CONTACT WITH THE RIM. THIS CAUSES AIR LEAKS AT THE STEM. IN MY CASE THE LEAKS HAVE BEEN SLOW HOWEVER I FEAR USING THE VEHICLE TO TOW AS A RAPID LOSS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD BOTH REAR STEMS REPLACED AND NOW THE FRONT IS STARTING TO LOOSE PRESSURE. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE APPROX 60 MPH HITTING A BUMP THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN TO RECOVER. HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG.

THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF AT WHILE RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE STOPPED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. WHEN THE TRUCK SHUTS OF THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING TO THE LEVEL THAT IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AND IT APPEAR THEY ARE POWER ASSISTED FROM THE MOTOR, SO WHEN THE MOTOR STALLS THEY ARE LOST. *TR *DT UPDATED 10/19/18*JB

THE REAR TAILGATE WILL OPEN RANDOMLY ON IT'S OWN. I'VE TAKEN IT IN AND NOTHING WAS DONE . THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN TOWING A 5TH WHEEL BECAUSE THE TAILGATE WOULD HIT THE TRAILER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING COULD HAPPEN. *TT

STARTED VEHICLE, PLACED IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY, AT END OF DRIVEWAY STEPPED ON BREAK AND DID NOT STOP, PRESSED HARD AND STOPPED. PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE TO GET BACK ON DRIVEWAY AND ALMOST HIT GARAGE DOOR AS BREAKS DID NOT WORK NORMALLY SO I PRESSED EMERGENCY BREAK. SHUT OFF TRUCK, RESTARTED AND BREAKS WORKED FINE. THOUGHT IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH AND RESTART CORRECTED. DROVE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN ON WAY HOME FROM STORE I AGAIN LOST NORMAL BREAKING AND HAD NO POWER STEERING . I WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY STREET. PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED BUT THIS TIME THAT DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. DROVE ABOUT 1 MILE TO FORD DEALER AND TURNED OVER FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 17K MILES ON IT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO BE BAD AND REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEM SINCE THE REPAIR. I HAVE ABOUT 30 MILES SINCE REPAIR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I RECEIVED NO FAILURE OR WARNING LIGHTS, STARTED INTERMITTENT AND IF I WOULD OF BEEN DRIVING OTHER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS I WOULD LIKELY OF BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SHE WOULD OF NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP OR STEER THE TRUCK. I HAVE NORMAL STRENGTH FOR A 60 YEAR OLD MAN AND I COULD BARELY STOP AND STEER THE TRUCK. IF I WAS PULL AN RV I WOULD OF BEEN IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING AND CONCERNED THAT AFTER FIRST FAILURE IT SEEMED TO RESET THUS ASSUMING A COMPUTER ISSUE. SEEMS STRANGE THAT A MECHANICAL PUMP FAILED AND THEN STARTED W

VEHICLE AT TIMES HAS A VIOLENT SHAKING AND LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL THAT REMAINS UNTIL A FULL STOP OF THE VEHICLE IS ENABLED, THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN A UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE AND OR BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED. FORD CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED TO MY VEHICLE IS CAS-144062235 ON 3/19/2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNSTABLE. THE FAILURE IMPACTED THE SUSPENSION, WHICH REQUIRED THE CONTACT TO EXHIBIT FORCE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL AND PREVENT A "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CONTACT REFRAINED FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED. NORTHSIDE FORD (12300 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216, (210) 525-9800) AND DAVE SINCLAIR FORD (7466 S LINDBERGH BLVD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63125, (314) 892-2600) WERE CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THERE WAS ONE TSB FOR THE STEERING, BUT NO TSBS FOR THE SUSPENSION AND NO RECALLS FOR THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR.THE TRUCK HIT AN UNEVEN CONDITION ON THE ROAD.THE TRUCKS STEERING CAPABILITY WAS TOTALLY LOST.THE FRONT WHEELS WERE VIOLENTLY SHAKING.THE TIRES AND WHEELS WERE SERVERLY BOUNCING.SLIGHT BRAKING MADE THE UNCONTROLLABLE CONDITION WORSE.THE VEHICLE SLOWLY LEFT THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE RIGHT AWAY.THE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN IT LEFT THE PAVED HIGHWAY.THE FRONT WHEELS WERE STILL VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND BOUNCING.AT THIS POINT STILL WITH NO STEERING THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL.IT FINALLY ENDED UP STUCK IN A DITCH 30 TO 40 YARDS OFF THE HIGHWAY.THE SHAKING AND BOUNCING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP.AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I LEANED THAT THIS MECHANICAL STEERING PROBLEM HAS BEEN A REACURING MALFUNCTION.IT HAS BEEN NAMED THE DEATH WOBBLE.HOW CAN FORD CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE A PRODUCT WITH DOCUMENTED EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES.ITS OBVIOUS THAT FORD HAS MADE THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AN ONGOING PROCESS.IM AMAZAZED THAT WITH ALL THE PAST COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT ITS BECOME NOTHING MORE THAN A BAND-AID FIX.PLEASE ADDRESS AND CORRECT THIS ONGOING NEGLIGENT MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT FORD CONTINUES.THEY KNOWINGLY CONTINUE TO PLACE INNOCENT CONSUMERS INTO A LIFE OR POSSIBLE DEATH SITUATION.

WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH, TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY RESPOND TO GOING OVER A SLIGHT BUMP BY BEGINNING TO SHAKE. THE SHAKING INCREASES TO A VIOLENT LEVEL. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK IS TO COME TO A NEARLY COMPLETE STOP. ALL THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED THE TRUCK WAS ON A HIGHWAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK WAS ON A BRIDGE CROSSING A RIVER WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC ALL AROUND. IT IS A COMPLETE MIRACLE THAT THE SURROUNDING DRIVERS WERE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING OUR TRUCK SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 65MPH, AND WE HAD TO SLOW TO 22MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN OCT 2017. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT, BUT IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES ON FEB 12, 2018. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 24700 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2017 FORD F350 PICKUP TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, WHENEVER I DROVE ACROSS BRIDGES OR HIT SMALL BUMPS, THE PICKUP TRUCK WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED TO UNDER 50 MPH. THIS INCIDENT IS KNOW AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE TRUCK HAD 14,000 MILES ON IT THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, SENT BACK, AND A WEEK LATER THE SAME ISSUE OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN. TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY, AND HAS BEEN FOR A WEEK. THE SAME EXACT INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED ON ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER'S NEWLY PURCHASED 2017 FORD F350 ALSO AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

TRUCK SHUTS DOWN ALL ELETRICAL LIGHTS,RADIO ,HEATER .GAGES FOR ABOUT 8 TO 15 SECTIONS AT RANDOM LOSE LIGHTS ETC ALL ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD REMAIN STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS UNABLE TO RELEASE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEALER WAS CONTACTED (1 AMERICAN RD, DEARBORN, MI 48126 (313) 322-3000) AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH DUEL REAR WHEEL TRUCKS THE HIGH PRESSURE VALVE STEMS ARE FAILING CAUSING RAPID AIR LOSS TO FRONT AND REAR OUTER WHEELS ( ALUMINUM RIMS ) THIS WILL CAUSE TIRE FAILURE RESULTING IN CRASH AND OR ROLL OVER THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MOTION AND STATIONARY *BF *BF *TR *JS

EXPERIENCED EXTREME AND UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRUCK (DEATH WOBBLE). THIS HAPPEN TWICE ON THE SAME DAY, 14 JANUARY 2018. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT 70 MPH AND IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 50 MPH. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS AT 60 MPH AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 45 MPH. APPLYING THE BRAKES MADE IT WORSE. THE VIBRATIONS WERE SO INTENSE IT PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY NECK. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE RIGHT AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD.

FORDS" BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY' DOESN'T GO "MIRROR TO MIRROR" ON NOV 22, 2017 I BOUGHT THE 2017 F-350 LARIAT SUPER DUTY. NICE TRUCK, IT'S THE 8TH FORD TRUCK I HAVE BOUGHT NEW AND UNTIL NOW HAVE NEVER HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT THEY DIDN'T STAND BEHIND UNTIL THIS ONE. AT 700 MI ON A FAMILY OUTING TO WASHINGTON DEC 8TH, MY WIFE REMARKED THAT SHE COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND I TOLD HER IT WAS PROBABLY PAINT OFF THE ENGINE. I HAD TURNED ON THE MIRROR DEFROST. ON ARRIVAL TO OUR DESTINATION MY SON DISCOVERED THE FRAMES HAD MELTED. SENT PICTURES TO SERVICE DEPT. AT DEALERSHIP. TECH SENT TEXT BACK "DO NOT USE MIRROR HEATERS AGAIN". I CALLED AND HE SAID DEALERSHIP WOULD REPLACE WHEN WE RETURNED. THEY PICKED IT UP ON FRIDAY THE 15TH AND MIDDAY I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM SERVICE MANAGER STATING THAT HE WASN'T A VERY GOOD NANCY DREW BUT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO WARRANTY THEM AS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE VANDALIZED ( AT 70 MPH YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ONE OF THE FOUR OF US WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT ) HE TOLD ME TO TURN IN TO MY INSURANCE. I REMARKED THAT IT WASN'T AN INSURANCE PROBLEM, TO STATE FARM AGENTS CREDIT THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY WOULD COLLECT REPAIR COST FROM MANUFACTURE. WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF A WARRANTY WAS JUST THAT? WHEN I TOLD SERVICE MANAGER THAT I WAS GOING TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE OREGON DOJ UNDER THE LEMON LAW, HE BLEW ME OFF. I TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER AND HE TOLD ME ALBANY ONE HAD PLACED A "FLAG" ON IT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO EVEN LOOK AT I

WOBBLE/OSCILLATION- VIOLENT FRONT WHEELS WOBBLING, STEERING SHAKING SO VIOLENT CAN'T CONTROL. DIFFERENT ROADS, MPH-USUALLY ABOVE 60. TO BRING UNDER CONTROL MUST BRAKE HARD AND TRY TO GET OFF ROAD & GET BELOW 30MPH. EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS, USUALLY STARTS WITH AN EXPANSION JOINT, POT HOLE,BRIDGE END OR BUMP IN ROAD. MORE OFTEN IF ON A CURVE.

2017 F350 BACK WINDOW EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY IN A SUBDIVISION. I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK WITHIN 5 MINUTES BEFORE I OPENED THE BACK DRIVERS CREW CAB DOOR TO PUT A BAG ON THE FLOOR. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR, THE BACK WINDOW EXPLODED AS THE DOOR CLOSED. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 23 DEGREES F. I BELIEVE THE SUDDEN CAB PRESSURE OF SHUTTING THE DOOR, COMBINED WITH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND A DEFECT IN THE GLASS OR GLASS INSTALLATION IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

DEATH WOBBLE- VIOLENT FRONT WHEELS WOBBLING, STEERING SHAKING SO VIOLENT CAN'T CONTROL. DIFFERENT ROADS, MPH-45,60,65,70. TO BRING UNDER CONTROL MUST BRAKE AND TRY TO GET OFF ROAD & GET BELOW 20MPH.

I WENT TO PICK UP MY TRAILER IN MY BRAND NEW (1000 MILES) 2017 FORD 350 SUPER DUTY TRUCK. I WAS UNABLE TO ATTACH MY EXISTING STANDARD TRAVEL TRAILER SAFETY CHAINS TO THE TRUCK PROPERLY. THE 2017 FORD SUPER DUTY 2 1/2" 15K HITCH SIMPLY DOES NOT ALLOW THE PROPER CONNECTION OF ANY STANDARD TRAVEL TRAILER SAFETY CHAIN. THE INDUSTRY STANDARD SIZE OF CLEVIS HOOK ON TRAVEL TRAILERS IS 5/16". NONE WILL SAFELY CONNECT AND CLOSE AROUND THIS PARTICULAR FACTORY HITCH. THE NEXT SIZE UP OF THESE HOOKS IS 3/8", AND IT IS TOO LARGE TO FIT THROUGH THE OPENING FREELY. THE HITCH IS RATED AT 15000 POUNDS. THERE IS NO WAY SAFETY HOOKS RATED TO THAT WEIGHT WILL ATTACH IN THESE SMALL ODDLY SHAPED HOLES. I HAVE NOW TRIED 4 DIFFERENT (PROPERLY RATED) HOOKS. NONE WILL ATTACH PROPERLY TO THIS FACTORY HITCH. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NO RECOMMENDATIONS TO SAFELY ATTACH THE CHAINS. I EVEN TRIED SEARCHING FOR WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE TO SOLVE THIS ON THE INTERNET. PEOPLE ARE RANDOMLY SELECTING ITEMS, PROPERLY RATED OR NOT, TO ATTACH THEIR SAFETY CHAINS, BECASUE THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SOLUTION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONNECT TRAILER SAFETY CHAINS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS COULD LEAD TO TRAILERS BREAKING FREE OF THE TOW VEHICLE. I APOLOGIZE, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE WITH THE 5/16" HOOKS. SUFFICE TO SAY THEY WILL GO THROUGH THE HOLES, BUT ARE FURTHER FROM BEING ABLE TO CLIP SAFELY THAN THE LARGER 3/8" HOOKS. NOTE: THE OPTIONAL/LARGER FORD 3" 22K HITCH HAS LARGER HOLES AND ALLOWS PROPER CONN

THE HEADLIGHTS AS DESIGNED WITH DAYTIME LIGHTS INSTALLED ARE VERY BRIGHT AND BLINDING TO ONCOMING VEHICLES AND VEHICLES IN FRONT OF THESE TRUCKS. THEY ARE AS BRIGHT AS A NORMAL CAR'S HIGH BEAMS. THIS IS ON THE NEW FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS, NOT F150.

FORD E-350 2017 HAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. I DROVE AROUND TRIP FROM BALTIMORE TO BOWIE, MD WHERE SELF STORAGE ZONE PLACE. WITH THE VEHICLE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE VEHICLE RAN THROUGH THE GATE ITSELF. BRAKE WAS FROZEN AND UNABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE BUT THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED AFTER THE GATE WAS BROKEN THEN I STOPPED IT IMMEDIATELY. ITS ENGINE POWERFUL RUN SLOW ITSELF DESPITE I STOPPED IT BUT IT CONTINUED TO RUN THROUGH GATE DESPITE I APPLIED THE BRAKE. THERE WAS SKID ON THE ROAD THOUGH BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-350 SD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, A NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TAILGATE HAD ERRONEOUSLY OPENED. THE LOCAL DEALER (OSSEO FORD OF OSSEO, WISCONSIN) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE TAILGATE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 08/28/2017*JS

THIS DEFECT APPLIES TO ALL 2017 AND 2018 MODEL YEAR FORD F-250, F-350, F-450, AND F-550 TRUCKS WITH STANDARD HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS. AS EQUIPPED, THESE TRUCKS ILLUMINATE FOUR REPLACEABLE BULBS LOW BEAMS, AND FOUR REPLACEABLE BULB HIGH BEAMS, BOTH IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM OF 2 TOTAL SPECIFIED IN S10.15.1: "A SYSTEM MUST PROVIDE IN TOTAL NOT MORE THAN TWO UPPER BEAMS AND TWO LOWER BEAMS AND MUST INCORPORATE NOT MORE THAN TWO REPLACEABLE LIGHT SOURCES IN EACH HEADLAMP."

THE 2017 FORD SUPERDUTY TRUCKS HAVE A REMOTE TAILGATE RELEASE IN THE LARIAT AND KING RANCH MODELS. THE TAILGATE OF MY TRUCK AND OTHERS HAVE DROPPED WITHOUT ACTION FROM THE USER. THIS MAKES THESE VEHICLES UNSAFE WHEN CARRYING CARGO THAT IS ONLY SECURED BY THE TAILGATE OR WHEN TOWING 5TH WHEEL TRAILERS. MINE HAS DROPPED SOME 16 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER. APPARENTLY FORD DEALERS ARE UNIVERSALLY BLAMING THE OPERATORS FOR ACCIDENTALLY PUSHING THE TAILGATE BUTTON TWICE ON THE FOB. HOWEVER, I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON MAY 6TH, WHEN I COULD NOT HAVE PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE FOB. THE TAILGATE DROPPED, AFTER I DROVE OVER 65 MILES ON MOUNTAIN ROADS - JUST AS I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSTATE ON-RAMP. MY TRUCKS TAILGATE AND MY 5TH WHEEL CAMP TRAILER WERE BOTH DAMAGED. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC. THE DAMAGE TO THE 5TH WHEEL WAS JUST UNDER THE PROPANE TANKS AND NEAR THE MAIL POWER BUS. I AM CHANGING THE TRUCK WIRING TO DISCONNECT POWER TO THE TAILGATE, BUT THIS IS REALLY NOT A SATISFACTORY FIX. ON LINE I FOUND AT LEAST 3 OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM. WHETHER THE OPERATORS AND UNKNOWINGLY ACTIVATING THE TAILGATE RELEASE OR THE FOBS ARE FAULTY OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE FAULTY OR WHATEVER THE CAUSE, THE RESULT IS A HAZARD THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE/ TRAILER CONTROL OR THE DROPPING OF CARGO ON THE HIGHWAYS. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT NEEDS FIXING BY FORD. *TT

FUEL LINE DISCONNECT ALLOWING 9 GAL OF FUEL ON DRIVEWAY.
