Diesel fuel leaking into the coolant.
This truck has the problem known as the “death wobble. ” I bought the vehicle from johnson city Ford in johnson city tennessee after they said they had inspected it and everything was fine on the truck. It was used so I bought the extended warranty. The truck started shaking so violently I couldn’t drive it. I took it back to this Ford place. They replaced the universal joint under my warranty. I left didn’t get it home and it started again shaking. I took it back to them and they confirmed the death wobble and said there were no recalls and they want 3600 dollars to fix the problem. I called Ford corporate and they said there were no recalls or programs to help with this problem.
2007 Ford F-350 crew cab srw 4x4, steering oscillation (wobble). Have experienced this problem since truck was almost new. Now have 61 k miles and it is alot worse. As the 08 and 09 investigations revealed, the steering wobble happens when crossing uneven pavement, concrete, dips in the road, railroad crossings (at slow speeds). Happens while empty and when towing a flatbed gooseneck trailer and/or my 5th wheel RV. This has not been resolved by Ford yet and they don not know how to fix. I believe it is a bad steering box?? they only want to use us/me as "guinea pigs" to fix. They tell us to replace shocks, steering dampers, and tires. I have put two sets of michelins on truck and does not help at all. According to info on internet this problem has been given the "death wobble" nickname. I would like you all to see if Ford has tried anything other than telling us dumb vehicle owners that we don't have enough air pressure in our front tires. I had my tires installed and rebalanced two times at the local Ford dealer and does not fix the problem. I feel the truck is very unsafe to drive at any speed and there needs to be a way get to the bottom of this before someone or more people get hurt or killed. The internet is full of horror stories as to this problem. I for one am ready to consult legal help. I just spoke with Ford customer service (complaint #[xxx]) and once again they said take it to another dealer and maybe I'll have better luck. ????? please help and respond.
