1 Ball Joint problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2021

While driving my 2015 f250 the front end began to shimmy and shake violently at 50 mph. Truck was wobbling all over and to begin quick deceleration and slight braking. Once truck dropped to about 20 mph the symptoms stopped. Looked over truck and saw no obvious issues . I drove slowly to repair shop and they checked over front end and stated would need traction rod, stabilizer and ball joints as this is known issues on 2005-2019 super duty vehicles. Ford dealer said they were unaware of any recall or issues but could check it out. If the other garage was corrected it would around $800 to 900 to repair. As I left and made right turn it again shimmied badly and I return to dealer. They suggested leaving truck and they could get to it in a few days. I feel this unacceptable from Ford for a obvious safety issue. Has the NHTSA been aware of this issue and is a recall to protect the consumer large investment in order? these trucks are not cheap and Ford touts teh moto, built Ford tough> please research and advise if there is a recourse for the consumers that are experiencing these safety issues. You can contact me doctor. Appliance@gmail. Com. Thanks for allowing me to express my concern for myself and others on the road that possibly receive life threatening injuries. Best and hope to here from you mike young branson mo. VIN: 1ft7w2n63fec46269.

2 Ball Joint problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2020

While driving at highway speeds my steering wheel shakes very violently when hitting bumps in road the shaking doesn't go away till I get vehicle slowed down to about 20 mph doing this on a interstate is very dangerous. This is happening more frequently on 10/7/20 this happened and it shook so bad air cleaner came off and vehicle lost power and stopped on highway. Vehicle had to be towed to a dealer. They found the maf sensor became dirty when air filter came off so they clean it test drove vehicle and verified vehicle shaking. They said suspensions looked good but had slight wear on track bar ball joint. They wanted to replace the steering damper and I showed them that it was replaced on 10/6/20 for the same shaking problem. I asked if this would repair the shaking they said they were not sure but it would eliminate it as a possibility. I declined their guessing game at my expense. This shaking problem is going to get someone hurt or killed and Ford needs to get a cure for this problem.

3 Ball Joint problem

Failure Date: 11/27/2019

The steering on my 2015 Ford f250 has a very serious wobble. It occurs at highway speeds (55-70 mph), it is a very violent shaking that almost caused me to lose control of my truck. I have replaced the steering damper, shocks and steering arm ball joint. I am in the process of replacing all tie rod ends now as I am afraid to drive it over 50 mph.
