With a 5th wheel plugged in and in tow the trailer brake module failed. There were no trailer brakes while pulling the trailer. This made driving extremely dangerous as the trailer weighs 15,000 lbs. and I only had the truck brakes working.

While driving the vehicle out of the garage the brakes locked up. The vehicle would travel only a couple feet in forward or reverse before it came to a halt. The vehicle needed to be towed to the dealership. Had this vehicle been on a highway the failure of the braking system causing it to come to halt could have caused a catastrophic accident.

The front shock absorber bushings are cracked and deteriorating.. Ford will replace them under warranty because they state that the cracked bushing can affect steering, handling and braking.. if the bushings fall apart suddenly the driver of the vehicle can lose control and crash and kill someone.. my service advisor said he has mever seen the problem before.. being curious I looked at other vehicles on the lot.. every single F250 and F350 vehicle I looked at had the same problem.. even the new ones with zero miles had cracked bushings.. it looks like they will fall apart and fail just after the warranty ends. A failed bushing can cause all sorts of steering ans stabilty issues. I thought someone might like to know about this.. im glad I noticed the cracked bushings before the warranty expires

During driving at a speed of 73 on the highway I went over a bridge and when the truck went over the joint in the road it sent the truck into a death wobble which cause the truck to veer into the other lane. I was pressing the brakes as hard as I could and it felt like they were not hardly working. It took approximately 1/8 of a mile to slow down below 50 where it regained control. Steering was very difficult and could not keep it in my lane. Truck was bouncing uncontrollably and almost took it off the road.
