Two problems related to steering tie rod assembly have been reported for the 2017 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Starting almost immediately after a used purchase of the vehicle at 48,000 miles and 3 years old, a intense front axle oscillation was intermittently noticed at speeds between 45 and 75mph, often the issue would happen while driving straight directly after driving over bumps in the roadway or bridge expansion joints. After having the Ford dealership look at the vehicle 4 separate times to try and figure out the root cause of the problem, the issue still has not been solved. So far the fixes tried by the dealer have been balancing the tires, installing new steering dampener, new tie rod ends, new drag link and two separate alignments.
Tl the contact owns a 2017 Ford F-350. Each time the vehicle drove over a bump in the road, the steering wheel shook uncontrollably. The contact had to depress the brake pedal to stop the shaking.
