Two problems related to front suspension shock absorber have been reported for the 2005 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-250. While traveling at 40 mph, both the front end of the vehicle and the steering wheel will begin to abnormally shake and vibrate without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where the contact was informed that the front shocks would need to be replaced. There were no prior warnings of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 74,000.
2005 F-250 has dangerous shake in front end of vehicle, to the point of loosing control of vehicle on highway. Truck bounced over four lanes of highway before gaining control of it. Speed was about 55-60mph. It was early in the morning and there wasn't much traffic on the road. If it had been in the afternoon, there would have been a crash and possible fatalities. I took truck to dealer, tech stated they knew about the problem but didn't know how to fix it, and they weren't going to do a recall because it's not a very public problem, so they threw some shims on it and some other stuff. Truck still has a considerable shake to the front end. We recently took the truck to a 'non' Ford mechanic. Three tie rods are bad and the stabilizer shocks are bad. He stated this is because the front end is shaking so bad it is wearing out the rods/shocks. The truck is only three years old and this should not be happening. The dealer stated they knew about the problem. Why is nothing being done to fix this issue?.
