Purchased a 2019 f350 in October of 2018 and starting at 20,000 miles or less vehicle started to violently shake or wobble. This first happen while going down the highway at 58 mph, and truck steering wheel and truck started to wobble and shake. I pulled over unsure what to do, but nothing seems wrong, as in flat tire, and drive shaft. Over the next few months this continued to happen. I have informed the dealer with no response and our local Ford dealer with no response. At routine maintenance appointment, they acknowledge to complaint but do nothing.

I ordered a new F-350 power stroke diesel in November. I waited until Jan 22 for it to be delivered to me. $65,000. When I went to pick it up at sunrise Ford in ft pierce florida, it looked like the wheel hubs were rusted so I looked underneath. I could not believe what I saw. The entire carriage to the drive train was not only corroded and rusted, but holes were developing in the drive shaft, the tie rods, the carriage bolts, the wheel supports, the u-joints. . . Not surface rust. It was as though the truck parts were taken from a junk yard. The dealer told me they are all like that. Sure enough, when I looked under all the trucks they were all rotted out. . . Beautiful box put on rotted chasses. The thing is that when you tow tens of thousands of pounds with these "work horses", it is the chassis that needs to be strong and when it is already oxidizing, it is good for nothing. I took back my deposit and began traveling to north palm and other dealers. . . . Same thing. . . Rusted and rotted out chasis, chasis parts, drive train and parts and bolts and other components. We made them lift the truck so I could see if it was an old vehicle they were passing off as new. . . . 9 miles on the odometer, traveled by freight. . . Not driven. . . And the year on the sticker in the door was 2014/Jan. When I asked what other people do. . . He said, "no one ever thinks to look underneath. . . . By the way. . . The chasis is only waranted for three years. . . Then Ford washes their hands of it! what happened to America?this needs to be put on the social media. I filmed the entire under carriage and would like to send them to you.

Cab of the truck vibrated very hard at any speed. Took to mechanic and they replaced torque converter, then hub, still same problem. Took to Ford, Ford replaced tires, still shaking. Then, they replaced driveshaft, still shook. Dealer did not know what the problem was. Please provide any further information.
