This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When driving my 2013 Ford 350 Crew Cab 4x4 6.7 Diesel with only 68,000 miles stock with original equiptment, I was driving to my chemo appt as I have stage 4 cancer and a mom of a young son the truck started a shake and the sterring wheel violently came away from my hands. It got so bad I almost went into oncoming traffic putting my sons life and myself and others in danger, I have brought this truck to local shop and they figure it out. This has gone several times. Its my primary truck. Im a widow and need a safe truck. I cant bring to dealer as they charge $150 hr. I dont have a extended warranty on the truck, No codes popped up on dash, Ford has many complaints with there trucks including the f 150 which i owned and it lived at the shop. over $10,000 out of pocket and problem never fixed always can find issue. something needs to be done before someone gets killed in a accident.
We have experienced -??death wobble-?? several times with the Ford. Every time we get all the necessary parts replaced and they-??ll last about 6 months and the death wobble will return. It-??s highly dangerous as you lose control of the vehicle and it can walk into another lane with traffic. You are unable to steer when this is happening. The only way to regain control is to slow the vehicle down to around 35/40 mph. It-??s a danger to us and to others on the road.
The EGR system has caused the truck's transmission to go into idle mode which is 2 miles an hour. Safely it can not be driven to be serviced if you are on the road. This system has reset its self on 3 occasions, once when I was taking the truck into a Ford service dealership. They stated they could not do anything without the trouble senor on. There is one recall on the nox sensor and 3 other service alerts for the EGR on the trucks. This is very dangerous and should be put in your system.
While driving on the highway at high speed I noticed my car pulling to one side and then my low tire pressure come on.when I got to a safe location I looked at my front passenger tire and saw it was low. I put air in it, after returning to my car it was low again. I put air in it again, drove to the shop to get my tire looked at and they said there is a crack in the middle of the rim. They said they have not seen this before on thei type of truck (known for hauling heavy loads), and they had to order a brand new rim. Of course my truck is outside of the warrenty, that's when things tend to go bad. Im very concerned about this being a manafactor defect due to where the crack is located. I'm also very concerned for the safety of me and others due to the area where we live, how we use high speed highways to get around, what we actually use the truck for, and others. Although nobody was hurt, it could have been a catastrophe. Please help me understand how something like this could occur on this type of heavy duty truck. I'm making a report now because soo many people told me to due to safety protocols. Thabk you
