1 Power Train Driveline problem of the 2006 Ford F-350

Failure Date: 01/12/2010

#1 2006 Ford superduty F-350 4x4 death wobble. {term used in forums}. Hit pothole after all the snow storms here in mo. , and my truck shook violently until I reached 30 mph. Seems to be alot of talk about this problem in the forums I have read. To date this is the worst time. Has happened in the past, just never this bad. Vehicle has 29,560 miles to date. I have new tires @ 50psi and had my alignment done by Ford dealership at time of new install. My vehicle is well maintained by certified mechanics and have been told there is nothing wrong with my truck. Question: have you had this complaint before? like I said, there are several forums on the web about this problem. #2 problem is the seat is just falling apart. Unbelievable that it has worn thru with the little mileage I put on the vehicle. Side support has completely collapsed and material is coming apart. Ford says o-well. Times up for your factory warranty.

2 Power Train Driveline problem of the 1999 Ford F-350

Failure Date: 10/16/2009

Driving my 1999 f350 Ford crew cab long box. Veh is a 7. 3 diesel with a 6zf 6spd transmission. Traveling 75mph the vehicle develops a mild vibration. I push in the clutch to pull out of traffic, the rear drive line flange bolts sheer off at the transfer case, the drive line knocks a hole in the floor board of the vehicle caves in the catalytic converter tears out the carrier bearing and separates the two piece drive shaft. The rear section of the drive shaft hits the right rear wheel sending the rear of the truck airborne and breaking the drive line off at the rear axle. Further inspection I find the transfer case has been torn from the transmission extension housing destroying the transmission housing. This truck has 124000 miles on it has never had work on the drive train. And inspection of the drive train less than a year ago showed no signs of excess wear.

3 Power Train Driveline problem of the 2006 Ford F-350

Failure Date: 02/15/2009

I purchased my 2006 superduty new in June 2006 when the truck was new I had some shaking in the front end at speeds over 65 but recently it has got much worse. This has occurred at least ten times now and the last few times on the interstate when going around 70 mph if you hit rough spots it will start a violent shake if I slowly reduce speed it will stop around 45 mph. I am starting to think it is not even safe enough for my family to ride in the truck anymore. My dealer says they don't see any problems so I have not been able to get anything done to resolve this problem even though the truck has less than 36,000 and is still under bumper to bumper warranty till June of this year. I have had many Fords over the past 8 years and I would like to think that Ford will take care of this if they want to keep me as a loyal customer. I don't think I should be responsible to pay for Fords design flaws out of my pocket (if there even is a way to fix it). If Ford will not do something to permanently fix the problem my wife and I will no longer buy from them.

4 Power Train Driveline problem of the 2005 Ford F-350

Failure Date: 01/25/2008

I have a Ford f350 king ranch 2005 and it wobbles violently after hitting a bump or uneven patch. It does it above 40 mph. Dealer had me purchase a stabilizer and they put it on- it helped but didn't solve it. I just drive the truck when I need. I took it in 6 months later and they said they must investigate by deduction. They wanted to charge me to first do a balance, then a wheel alignment. I told them no- it should be a recall. My fear is that the violent wobble will lead to other problems. Help.

5 Power Train Driveline problem of the 2004 Ford F-350

Failure Date: 09/13/2004

There is a loud "clunk" from underneath the vehicle when taking off after putting the transmission in drive. The "clunk" happens about 5 to 10 feet after you begin moving forward and sometimes also when the vehicle shifts from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd gear. *akthe "clunk" can not only be heard but also felt in the floorboards of the vehicle. Sounds as if something in the transmission as let go.
