36 Steering problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2021

Ii was driving my vehicle, aprox 55 mph on a normal road. I hit a pot hole, the vehicle began to shake violently, I thought it was a flat tire. I managed to safely pull over, inspect vehicle and determined everything "looked" okay. Upon doing some research I saw this is a very common issue with these vehicles, Fords famous "death wobble". I have 25k miles, my truck is practically brand new, 80% miles placed on in are highway miles. This is very dangerous and unsafe, Ford needs to address this ASAP.

There are several recalls on 2019-2020 f250/350 built at the kentuky plant my vehicle however is apparently not one of them but I was in a car accident back in September 21 2020 I was driving on a county road and the vehicle did not was non responsive to what I wanted it to do I almost hit a small vehicle in front of me but swerved and crashed in a field the when I purchased the vehicle I did not test drive it or anything since I was going from a 2020 to another 2020 f250 lariat to limited now the lariat everything worked on it it would tell me that I was closing onto a vehicle with plenty of time to break and it would actually break not pull to etiher side as this one has done since I bought it. I did let Ford know but they said they were plenty backed up and could get to me in a couple weeks well thats when my accident occured you see I think there are more vehicles that are affected by said recalls but someone is using us as crash test dummies just to see what happens I am glad I did not hit that family cos it would have been bad another thing is that the collision center that fixed my vehicle said that they were not able to take it to any tire location to get it aligned because these places wouldnt do the job so they took it to Ford and well truck is pulling to the left but steering wheel is cockeyed to the right it just does not ride well I love the vehicle but safety is first I got the vehicle back after "recalibration" and well it still has the same issues warning sensors dont alert you as they should not enough warning from pre-collision pulls to the side rides real rough etc. Etc.

Good morning, ms. Edds my name is [xxx] . I spoke to you a few years back in regards, to a vehicle I had. Well, today I am writing about another situation . I have a 2020 Ford f250 VIN [xxx] . Since purchasing this vehicle, I have had recall after recall on it and getting nowhere with Ford motor company customer service division. I have a local dealership that I have taken it to spalding Ford who does not take the time to look at the vehicle when I tell them there is an issue and what it is doing all they do is make 1 excuse after another and then about a week or so goes by and I get a recall letter about the issue I just complained about. The last time it was at this dealership they cracked my windshield and said they get back with me about getting it fixed so far nothing and I have called a number of times and now being told they had no idea about it. It has been several months but guess that is going to have to fall on me because no one wants to take accountability of their own actions. I have 3 outstanding recalls in which I complained about before the recall came into effect. I contacted a dealership located in the next county over who willingly sent a tech to my house for a recall when the tech got here he was unable to fix the recall do to the Ford motor company customer service division running errors in their system and was unable to do the update. I have also complained about having steering issues and was told no there is nothing wrong but then all of a sudden, I received a recall letter. I am an average john doe trying to take care of my [xxx] grandson and my [xxx} husband this is supposed to be my dependable vehicle for us I cannot just go out and trade it in and lose all the money I have placed into it already I don't have the funds or means to do that. I called and talked with the recall department and the gentleman I spoke with was really concerned and tansfered me to someone who didnt want to fix it information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

40 Steering problem

Truck has a bad wobble in steering when it hits bumps at highway speed. It has 2,000 miles on it. I think some folks have called this a "death wobble". When it happens it could easily cause loss of control. The steering feels like it has too much slop in it even at low speeds. This is dangerous and I've seen this mentioned many times on the internet. I thought it may be just old trucks, but mine is brand new.
