general problems of the 2019 Ford F-350 - part 2

Driving on dry pavement, approximately 40mph, straight smooth road. I drove over an expansion joint in the pavement, the steering began to wobble violently which made my vehicle leave the pavement onto the opposite side of the road onto an easement. I seemed to have experienced the "Ford deat"h wobble, I contacted the dealership, they referred to what I experienced as a known problem referred to as "death wobble". If a vehicle would hav been coming in the opposite direction, there would have been an accident and could have resulted in death at the speed I was traveling. The truck only has ~15000 miles on it. I was told that there is an apparent TSB on this issue and parts are on national backorder with no idea when the parts will be available. This is a very serious safety issue.

Truck gets super strong diesel smell and some white smoke in cab of truck happens at random.

2019 F-350 with 8� bed and approx 1000 miles. 1st occurrence: departed a campground towing a travel trailer (after doing 3 walk-around safety check prior to departing). Drove 10 miles to nearest gas station before getting on the highway where I discovered the tailgate was down and crushed by the travel trailer. Thinking back through my series of events; I was on level ground and did not reach down to disengage the parking brake below the gate release, I had a ground guide back me up out of my spot who confirmed gate was still up prior to departing, key was in the cup holder with no other objects. I reported this issue to the dealer(4 sept 2019). They reviewed current recalls on my model and none were reported. I filed a claim with my insurance and absorbed the repair expenses. Important to note, there was a heavy thunderstorm the night prior to departing. 2nd occurrence: (while awaiting parts to repair damages from 1st occurrence) I departed work and just after turning left out of the parking spot still in the parking lot, the tailgate came open unintentionally for the second time during my 2 months of ownership. I immediately noticed it down when I looked in my rearview mirror and no damages from this occurrence.

Less than 500 miles on a f350 superduty with an 8' bed. Driving with a small boat in the back propped up on the back of the tailgate. Taking a left on a green light in the city going ~15mph the tailgate opened on its own and the boat almost slid out of the truck. Did not press the fob as it was in the cupholder -- did not press the button inside above the parking brake because I had both hands on the steering wheel to make the turn. Almost lost the boat as I had it tied while propped on tailgate, the straps came loose since the boat fell 2 feed. Did not call the dealer yet and I purchased this truck 7 days ago. I want to report this because this still appears to be a problem on the 2019 models.

When driving at highway speed pulling a trailer experiencing violent front end vibration and wobble, this caused us to run off the road into the shoulder nearly causing ya to flip over into the medium. The tires are properly inflated and checked daily. This violent shaking and wobble happens almost daily in a truck purchased as new. This violent shaking started at around 7000 miles and has continued. The vehicle is currently in Ford dealership service at fowlerville Ford in michigan to have this issues and other looked at. This is an extremely dangerous problem.

Purchased new 2019 f350 with the ultimate trailer tow package. Also purchased 5th wheel hitch. After getting home and removing hitch, noticed two of the four pucks have a locking mechanism for securing the hitch. One of the pucks has nothing. One puck has a partial lock. Photos attached. I made attempts to find out if this is normal but can't find any answers. Can you help? photos available upon request.

Truck door locks to not operate in cold weather. Additionally door will not latch shut. Found this out when driving around a bend in the road and my rear passenger side door flew open. Thankfully there was no passenger as they could have been flown out of the truck. This is known problem with these Ford trucks. Refer to fsa 18n03 which is a field service action bulletin. Why they are not recalling these vehicles is a mystery to me. This is a huge safety issue. I have made an appointment with the dealer that I bought the vehicle from. They tell me that a technician needs to take each door apart and apply sealants and lubrication to the parts. In searching out this problem on the internet, other owners who are also experiencing this problem have complained that the dealer fix does not work. . That the problem reoccurs. I'm very concerned that this problem is not being addressed by the manufacturer. I paid over 80k for this truck and I'm driving around in a safety hazard.

Our automatic tailgate on our 2019 Ford f350 truck opens and comes down randomly. It has happened 6 times in the first 3 weeks of ownership. This has happened while parked and while driving, the last time the key fob was in the cup holder when we were filling the truck at the gas station. With our 5th wheel trailer attached, the tailgate came down as we pulled away. Not knowing it came down, we made a turn pulling out of the gas station which caused over a $1,000 in damage to our trailer. This randomly opening tailgate is dangerous for anyone pulling a trailer or with any materials that may fall out of the truck bed. Ford continues to deny there is a problem.
