Four problems related to front suspension have been reported for the 2004 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a Ford 250 super duty 2004. Since February 2009 I have sporadically experienced uncontrollable wobbling of the steering wheel. It appears that it happens after making sharp turns or bumps and doesn't matter with the speed. I've taken the truck to a service center and 3 or more times they've taken it apart and can't find anything. They suggested taking it to a Ford dealer. I did and explained it to the mechanic upon which he claims he's never heard of such a thing. As a last resort I googled Ford 250 shaky steering and found what they call "Ford death wobble". To my surprise there are numerous other accounts of this with people as confused as myself and my mechanics. From reading it appears that Ford is aware but denies the existence of this happening. Also saw that I could at least complain to someone who may listen. My concern is crashing like some of the other unfortunate people and Ford getting away with no consequences.
Daqte below is most recent date - experienced bounce, nearly into adjacent traffic lane as a result fo passing over rough spot on interstate highway - has occurred a number of times since 2006. Just became aware of this as a larger issue from good sam club.
Ford F-250 king ranch I am a 5 time repeat Ford customer. My F-250 has a bounce in that cannot be cured. Ford had me replace all 4 tires to correct the problem with no results. After spending the money on the tires, Ford tells me it is a normal characteristic of the truck. I have recent service invoices with "checked and ok at this time" ratings on all 4 of the old tires. Ford will not fix the problem, or refund my tires. I have been to 3 dealerships and in communication with Ford motor company. This seems to be a common problem that Ford does not want to stand behind.
While turning right or left consumer heard a loud popping noise coming from the front. Suddenly, the vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem.
