Wheel Problems of Ford F-450

There is uneven tread wear and cupping on the continental tires installed by Ford. These tires were already replaced once and have the same issue after 7000 miles. The front tire outer tread is wearing out and other owners are reporting tires ripping apart.

The truck came with continental tires (model: conti hybrid hd3) installed on all six tires (dual rear wheels). The manufacture tire specification states that the tire is designed to only be installed on the drive axle (rear axle). I have been experiencing a steering issue (constant steering wheel correction). This seems to be caused by the tires reacting to any roadway surface anomaly (the tires seem to catch an edge which causes the vehicle to abruptly steer to one side or the other). I tow a 5th wheel RV and the abrupt steering change causes a sever lateral back and forth movement of the trailer when it occurs. This has caused the trailer to leave my traffic lane. I have ensured the air pressure is per the Ford vehicle specification. I am making arrangements to have the steering system inspected and have the alignment checked. I did contact Ford's customer service and asked if the installation of drive axle tires on the steering axle was their intention. The response from Ford's customer service was that the truck was produced with the same tires on all six wheels. I am concerned that the tire may be contributing to the steering issue I am having and may be indicative of a steering safety issue. This has been occurring since we purchased the vehicle on March 21, 2022. The vehicle had approximately 50 miles on it when it was purchased. The vehicle had approximately 1400 miles when we starting using it to tow our RV. The vehicle currently has approximately 4100 miles on it.

Truck has experienced multiple occasions of "death wobble" since purchase. Excessive unexplained tire wear on the passenger front tire. On second tire on passenger front. Have 81k miles on truck and all other tires are wearing normal. Have had truck in alignment twice with no issues showing with alignment, wheels have been balanced. Ford service tech contacted Ford engineer and told me to increase air pressure to 100psi on front tires, I questioned this since door tag states 90psi. Still same issues, all recalls have been done. Passenger front tire is almost bald and need to purchase new tires at $400 plus, seems stupid to put new tires on and not resolve issue. I have worked with Ford dealership, two independent tire stores, continental tire engineer, and have asked many mechanics about this with no answers. The other issue is the power tailgate will open on its own. This has occurred twice while driving. Once is while I was pulling fifth wheel and tailgate opened. Spilling out a 70 qt cooler carrying 40+ water bottles and a stand for my grill. I have no knowledge at what time this happened during trip, no dash indicator or warning. The second time this happened is we were towing a horse trailer and it opened. The only warning was when we made a turn and the trailer wheel jack pinched against the tailgate and bent both the tailgate and trailer jack. Ford had a recall on tailgate which was performed prior to these incidents. Wire harness was replaced in between events at Ford dealership. Dealership answer now is to disable rear button to open tailgate, also since tailgate is bent it will bind and not open sometimes. I think it's funny that there is a warning light for the hood if unlatched, and prior to disabling rear button I had to push the door lock button to open tailgate. To me it's a design issue because the female connector faces up and plugs into male connector, where moisture can get in. All these are safety issues putting me and others in danger.

The only way to check the tire pressure on the inside tire of a duelly is to remove the outside tire.

: the contact stated there is not enough clearance on the hub pilot rear wheels to be able to remove the wheels. In 2004 an independent repair shop used a cutting torch to remove the wheels in pieces. At that time the repair shop applied two new rear wheels and remounted the tires. Now the same thing is happening with the replacement wheels. Additionally the horn blows on its own. An independent mechanic replaced the horn relay. Shortly after the replacement the horn sounded again on its own. This is more likely to happen in damp/ humid weather conditions. The dealership was made aware of the problems.
