general problems of the 2013 Ford F-250

While driving my truck it will suddenly start shaking in the front end. Steering wheel is hard to hold on to because it's shaking so hard. I was going around 60mph when it started. Felt like I was losing control of the truck. This has happened 3 times in the last 2 months. I have contacted lance cunningham Ford here in knoxville, TN on 2/5/24 and made an appt with them on 2/6/24 to look at my truck. In a disabled veteran and this really caused some major anxiety with me and Ford needs to make it right. Death wobble as it's known as isn't safe.

As I was driving down the interstate at about 75 mph I encountered a worn out area in the road that I could not avoid due to traffic. The truck immediately began shaking violently and I was horrified. I thought I had perhaps had a tire blowout, and immediately pulled onto the shoulder to inspect. Realizing my tires looked ok, I got my wits about me and began driving again. To my surprise, the truck behaved as if nothing had happened. I drove the truck for another year with no issues until about 2 months ago when it happened again two different times, once going about 70 mph and the other at about 62mph. I was finally able to get the truck to a shop where repairs were made to the tune of > $1200. 00. I thought I could breathe easier now driving it, but it happened again last week. It is a terrifying experience, and I can hardly wait to get rid of this death trap.

Was driving down the interstate and drove over a rough patch of road and the truck violently started shaking. I was driving ~70 mph when this occurred and had to take evasive maneuvers to get off the road and subside the situation. This occured 4 more times on the trip and once in the middle of busy traffic. After much reading and discovering several videos of the same situation, this appears to be the Ford F-250/350 "death wobble".

I have a 2015 f 250 superduty, original owner, that I am now expreience what is refered to as a "death wobble. ' this has happened to me four times over the past three months. Each time I was driving at about 70 mph, either on a concrete freeway, or on an ashpalt highway, hit a small bump in the road, then the truck bounces around. You do not have control of the vehicle, steering input causes it to increase the wobbling and bouncing. Each time the wobble did not stop until I was below 40 mph and braking. One time I had an empty 16 foot flat bed trailer, which almost caused the trailer to flip. The three other times no trailer. Each time I felt heplless in controling the vehicle and scarrng the *^%^*& out of me. In researching the internet this issue has been a problem for some time and there has been no recall. Why has there been no recal on this issue?.

Engine light is illuminated while driving and stopped on dash and code p208 comes up for the reductant heater failed, this causes the exhaust system to not fully clean out and could place the truck into a limp mode causing decreased power and potentially stop the vehicle all together.

While driving on an expressway part of the exhaust system fell off and bounced around in traffic. Six bolts had rusted away and Ford exhaust part # 5a212 dropped off. I felt it hit the underneath of the vehicle and saw it bouncing on the road as I drove on. I originally thought it was road debris I had driven over but I got off the expressway at the next exit to check the truck. At that time I couldn't determine what it was so again I attributed the part to road debris. The vehicle drove, handled and sounded the same. It wasn't until later when washing the truck that I noticed the tail pipe was loose. Upon further inspection I determined there was part of the exhaust system was missing. The vehicle is now 4 years old but spends most of the winter in the south, not exposed much to salt treated roads. I don't believe 6 bolts should have rusted away to cause the failure. I have notified Ford of the situation.

Radiator failure due to poor design. Leaking at the plastic seams under drain petcock. Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of these units are failing years before they should. Some consumers spend 50k+ on these trucks and yet are forced to repair the leaking radiator at a substantial cost out of pocket after the warranty expires.
