I continue to have issues with the tailgate opening on its own. Today it came down sometime while I was traveling down the interstate to work. I will eventually loose something out of the back, and I have a cover on the bed, so I cannot see when the tailgate is down. My truck does not fall in the time frame Ford has on their TSB so I the dealership cannot address the problem. May truck was an August build and the TSB for the problem only covers trucks built up to July.
The power lift gate opens by itself 3 times in 1 year while driving down the road. Tailgate is destroyed from hitting trailer jack.

While driving about 30 mph on mountain road at cade's cove TN. The engine shut off , no indication before hand. All small icon showed on dash including battery. Just made it to the other side of road pull off area or other wise I would have been in center of road. No power steering. Turner key off and waited about 1 minute. Turned key on and engine started up. Was able to return to our campground. This could have been a very serious safety / accident as this mountain road is very narrow and many turns going back to gatlinburg TN. From cade's cove.
I recently parked my tt at our new RV campground. While backing it up the gate opened randomly in the middle of a turn and dented the top of my tailgate. Extremely upset I new it was going to be a hard case to submit to warranty for them to believe that it wasn't user error. A few days later I left work and drove 20 miles down the highway only to get to where I was going and get out of my truck to see the tailgate down with a full propane tank in the back an a $1000 worth of fishing poles. Today I took my wife to lunch and when we parked and got out the gate was down again. We ate went a few miles down the road, shopped and unlocked the doors using the fob and the gate dropped. That's twice in one day. It was getting worse. Shortly after, I got a last minute call to move my tt due to rising waters here in buchanan at the RV park and while I was getting ready to leave the gate opened on its own while the doors were unlocked. So I got out my camera and closed the gate. Within 20 seconds it opened again. This time I video taped it and texted the video to my Ford warranty rep. I rushed my truck to covert Ford and by gods good grace the tailgate opened repeatedly in front of every Ford rep working. I'll let you know what they find. My truck is a 2017 f250 lariat ultimate. I have a video but it is 9. 63mb. Email me if you want it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250 hd. The contact stated that there was a "death wobble" which was getting extensive while driving a highway rate of speed. When the vehicle had accelerated over 70 mph, it was extremely difficult for the contact to operate the vehicle. The dealer galpin Ford, 15505 roscoe blvd, north hills, CA 91343, 1-(818) 787-3800had retained the vehicle for weeks and then months but had failed to provide a permanent fix so the vehicle was not repaired. The dealer provided no option of a loaner/rental vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting on a response but was uncertain if they had a remedy to provide to the dealer. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
Power tailgates opening suddenly while driving without any input. It has occurred three times. It poses a possible safety issue of cargo flying out of the truck bed. If RV or trailer is attached, control-ability of trailer may be impeded.
My truck has 40000 miles on it I got a check engine light took it into the dealer ship and they tell my 100000 mile warranty does not cover the sensor that is giving a fault and I gotta pay 890. 00 out of pocket to fix it. I was told all engine components are under warranty for 100k on the truck.
I purchased my 2017 Ford f 250 super duty 4x4 in September of 2017. I first noticed an issue with the suspension when hitting a bump in the road at 60 mph and almost lost control of the truck. Luckily I was able to slow down and regain control. I begin to do some research and learn of the death wobble that Ford is aware of, I will now take my vehicle in to have the suspension checked. Secondly, I have been having issue's with my sync3 system, bluetooth, climate control, easy entry and exit for the drivers seat and the apple car play feature. After taking my vehicle to the shop, I was told the sync3 system, a couple modules and the chassis harness was replaced to correct the issue's. I have taken my truck to Ford three time for the sync3 malfunction and was told not to use the bluetooth streaming with apple products, which doesn't make sense if it's suppose to work. I have contact Ford for a buy back and the answer of course was "no" I have to take it to the shop a few more times for the same repair and it has already been in the shop more for the sync3 issue than any other issue's. Hopefully Ford figures out there issue's and offer greater customer support for a not so cheap vehicle.
