I just received from Ford another notice about the out of control shimming that takes place concerning the 2005 f- 250 . Ford has does nothing to correct this problem other than to blow smoke at everyone about the tire pressure. Since I bought this unit new, the tire have always been corrected to the proper amount or the correct tires been replaced. Still this issue takes place . Its an unbelievable terrifying shaking that takes place , and only stops when the truck gets to about 20-25 miles an hour. This occurred most recently, last that a car following me , pulled me over to tell me how it looked from the rear, to the point the person behind me was fearful for their safety as well. I refuse to let any member of the family drive this truck ,other than myself. There is certainly mo

Driving on the freeway at apps 65 miles per hour, the truck hit a numb in the road and started to shaking causing the truck to shake violently. I was able to get to the side of the road and slow down which eased the shaking. I started driving again and after reaching speeds this happened two more times, then I got off the freeway and drove backroads home under 40 miles per hour.

Noticed a cloud of smoke behind vehicle while driving 55 MPH on highway. Upon inspection found it was leaking transmission fluid from hole in top of transmission onto exhaust (exact same problem as described in Ford bulletin 05b27) had to replace transmission at 57,265 miles at a cost of $4,000.00. Ford would not warranty it.

2005 Ford f250 diesel truck has for one week and transmission gears welded together. Has been back to dealership almost three weeks and no help nor explanation on what went wrong. If there is a model year problem should be know quyickly as these are used for heavy hauling. *ak

While at a dead stop, placed truck in drive and the engine suddenly accelerated to full power lunging the vehicle forward 10' while I simultaneously applied both feet to the brake for maximum stopping power. This is the third time in two to three months this has happened. No check engine lights are on. Took my car to the local Ford dealer and was told by the service manager that they have never heard of this problem before. Researched the internet only to find lots of other similar complaints. Originally thought it was human error, floor mat, or similar problem... But this last time, I was prepared because of previous incidents. This problem can cause a terrible accident and may even result in death. *tr

F250 6.0l diesel with 85844 miles had the EGR/oil cooler go bad the repair cost 4744.00 at the dealer. I have an extended warranty but as usual not covered. This a known problem with these 6 liters along with the head bols being substandard and faulty ficm which I replaced at the cost of 525.00 and doing the work myself. I have tried to resolve this with Ford and my warranty company warranty direct to no avail. I did get the warranty company to admit the EGR cooler was covered but they would not cover the other repairs required with this repair so I got 981.00 from them. These problems have been well documented and I feel it is about time the nesta got involved and got recalls established. My vehicle just started having a small amount of fluid under it th a t I had checked out within 2 da

Engine stalled without warning driving in traffic while weaving in and out of traffic trying to avoid hitting other vehicles or them hitiing me. A dangerous, intense moment trying to get my truck off the road with no power steering or power brakes. This truck may or may or m ay not start. No crank/no start, no start/cranks, no start/bucking and stalling engine. These issues relate to the injector wiring harness due to chaffing and crushing, a very time consuming task. Technician verified the harness is worn and wires are exposed. Past Ford customers refer to the violent shaking that while driving this truck as the "death wobble." an intense moment.this is a risk concerning vehicle safety. This is not protecting consumers against unreasonable risks of accidents occuring. The tires on my t

Vehicle randomly dies while driving down road does not matter speed or what road you are on happens to the point we almost expect it now everytime we drive. It will act fine no warning then in middle of driving it just shuts off very dangerous. It also, will randomly loss power not all the time but occasionally if going over 45mph, the a/c works until you drive over 45mph then just stops until you get to a stop sign. Take off again its fine til that 45mph mark then blows hot. Had truck since sept. 2018 & have had the problem since at least 1 out of 4x driving this will all happen. Truck also has problems with fueling up the tank it shuts the pump off constantly. Main problem & most worrisome is the shutting off randomly while driving.

So far 3 of 4 tires have lost their shape by belt separation. They all went around 25 thousand miles.

Purchased bf goodrich tires from discount tire 2 years ago, with 21000 miles on the tires one tire had tread separation which was replaced without incident in august 2015. In october 2015, while traveling at approximately 50 MPH down hill on I-17 from sunset point the driver's side rear tire tread separated causing a near accident. The tire caused minor damage to the wheel well and had to obviously be changed. Tire was replaced by discount. Problem lies in the fact that we bought four tires all from the same stock. We anticipate similar problems with the remaining two but are not willing to risk our lives to find out when they will separate and go flat on us. We are now forced to buy two new tires at full value out of fear of the unknown as we transport our grandchildren often and hav
