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…

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.

CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC. I ALREADY REPORTED ISSUE WITH ONE TIRE 12/15/15 #10854773 AND NOW HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ANOTHER 2 TIRES. ONE CAUSED VIBRATION EVEN AT SLOW SPEED. IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE SO WE HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO GET THE TIRE REPLACED. WHILE AT STORE, WE WERE INFORMED ABOUT CRACKS ON ANOTHER TIRE AND HAD TO GET IT REPLACE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2008 AND 2009 ORIGINAL TIRES ON F250 BUT NOT FOR 2010.

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.

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.…

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH, THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE/SHUTTER VIOLENTLY. IT FREAKED ME OUT AND I WAS CONVINCED I BLEW A TIRE. I PULLED OVER AND INVESTIGATED AND NOTHING SEEMED BROKEN AND ALL TIRES APPEARED FINE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER, CONVINCED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR ANY OBSTRUCTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR DON'T HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK I WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THIS RATHER LARGE TRUCK WANTS TO GO CAREENING ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW…
