My 2018 f350, has a very violent shake when driving 60 mph and above, I was driving when I hit a dip in the highway and the steering wheel started shaking real hard, I felt like I was gonna lose control it was wobbling violently. I took it into the repair shop where they to where able to mimic the issue. This issue just happened out of know where, with no warning. . I can see easily how this will be a safety issue to any one having this same problem wile driving, and a safety issue for others driving next to me. . Ford has told me they are aware of this issue but have done nothing to fix this safety issue. .
In my 2018 f350, I experienced my power tailgate opening on its own. It happened when the vehicle was unattended and while the vehicle was in motion. I brought it to the dealership for the recall repairs to be performed on March 2nd, 2022 at 115k miles. I received the truck back and in the time since the recall repair was performed, the tailgate has opened, on its own, while the vehicle was in motion 3 separate times. One time I was towing, which caused the tailgate to ride on the tongue jack controls, a second time was without a trailer attached, but I had lots of gear in the bed which, thankfully, did not fall out and create a traffic hazard. I am planning on having the dealer reassess the repairs when I next bring in the truck for an oil change, but I am concerned that this safety issue persists after the repairs were performed.
The tailgate continues to open randomly while driving or backing up the truck. The recall for this was completed but the issue continues to occur. Most recently this caused $525 worth of damage to my 5th wheel camper and $450 worth of damage to my tailgate. This is very dangerous and should be addressed by Ford immediately.
Tailgate opened while driving on interstate, this has happened two times in the last 2 months. I have already had the recall repairs done for this issue but it is still happening. The Ford dealer can not find a cause. There is no way to know when the tailgate has opened until something falls out of the back of the truck and other driver alerts you of the issue.
Uncommanded tail gate opening. . Continues to open even after recall was completed. .

Doors will not close, open, and or come open while driving usually on below freezing temperature days. This has happened while stationary and driving while making a turn drivers side door whipped open fortunately there was no oncoming traffic. Moisture in door latches freezing is the problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 Ford F-350 sd. The contact stated that while hauling a trailer at a highway rate of speed, the trailer detached with no warning from the pins and aluminium connection which had caused the rear end of the truck to be damaged as well as the trailer. The owners manual had not indicated that the towing capacity exceeded the guidelines and a dealer was not referred yet by the manufacturer who had only provided a case number but they had not yet indicated when they would respond to investigate the cause of the failure. The insurance adjustor towed the vehicle to a repair facility and was to inspect the damages. The contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer, was uncertain if they may provide a permanent fix and the vehicle and trailer had not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
