WHEN EVER THE TRUCK GOES OVER SOMETHING LIKE AN BULGED EXPANSION JOINT OR A POT HOLE WITH SPEED IN EXCESS OF 40-45, IT WILL REACT VIOLENTLY. OFTEN THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE OVER A FOOT OR TWO(DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK) IN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE BOUNCING/SHAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS IS OVER IN SEVERAL SECONDS, BUT IS SEVERE NONE THE LESS. IF YOU HIT A BUMP ON A CURVE, THE VEHICLE WILL ALMOST GO OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ENOUGH TIMES OVER THE YEARS THAT I ATTEMPTED EVASIVE ACTION/SLOW WAY DOWN WHEN I SEE I'M ABOUT TO STRIKE SOMETHING THAT WILL SET THE SUSPENSION INTO BOUNCE MODE. MANY, MANY, MANY FORD SUPER DUTY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND ALL FORD CAN SAY IS THAT IT'S THE OWNERS FAULT FOR NOT KEEPING THE TIRES AIRED PROPERLY. I DARE YOU TO COME DRIVE MY TRUCK!!!!!!!!! YES, I HAVE CHANGED THE OEM SHOCKS TO BILSTENS FOR THE F250 APPLICATIONS AND HAVE INSTALLED A STIFFER STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK. HAVE ALSO EXPERIMENTED WITH VARIOUS AIR PRESSURE SETTINGS. NOTHING MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. TRUCK STILL HAS STOCK SUSPENSION SPRINGS.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM, AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. . BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

I PAID APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 FOR THAT BRAKE JOB AND TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE PARTS IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RE-DESIGN OF THE BRAKE SHOES. THEY REPLACED ONE REAR ROTORS, "FREED UP" ONE REAR CALIPER. I DID ADVISE DRIVERS FRONT WAS SEIZING UP AT ONE POINT AS WELL. I WAS PROVIDED THE REAR ROTORS AND SHOES. THE SHOES WERE WELL WITHIN USABLE RANGE WHICH WAS NOTED BY MYSELF, ALSO A DIESEL MECHANIC AND A INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE DAY I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING HOME LOST ALL BRAKES.

ONLY THIS TIME I DROVE 8 MILES WHEN HEAVY SMOKE WAS COMING FROM FRONT WHEEL WHAT I TOLD THEM LAST TIME AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WENT.

I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE BED OF MY TRUCK BOUNCES ABOUT TWO INCHES, WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK I NOTICED ALL THE SUPPORTS UNDER THE BED WERE COMPLETELY ROTTED. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. IN LESS THAN 90,000 MILES I'VE REPLACED THREE BRAKE CALIPERS, TWO ROTORS, TWO SETS OF BRAKES, AND THE LAST TIME I HAD IT SERVICED THE BACKING PLATES WERE SO ROTTED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULDN'T WORK AND COULDN'T BE REPLACED WITHOUT ALSO REPLACING THE BACKING PLATES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS MUCH ROT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HIT A SMALL POTHOLE IN THE ROAD AND THE SUSPENSION STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE TRUCK ALONG WITH SEVERE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATIONS. NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP THE OSCILLATIONS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON MY TRUCK MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO 60 MPH AND CONTRARY TO OTHER REPORTS LISTED ON HERE, THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT AND MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE PUT ON AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION AND TIRES SINCE THE ORIGINAL TIME THIS HAPPENED AND ADDED A STEERING STABILIZER WHICH HELPED TO KEEP THIS FROM OCCURRING BUT IT STILL HAPPENS ON OCCASION. THIS PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT UP TO MY DEALER AT THE BEGINNING AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THE SHAKING AND BEATING OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I FULLY BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE A BROKEN RIM, ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BRAKE PROBLEMS, AND WHAT I BELIEVE IS A CRACKED TURBO UP PIPE OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS ALLOWING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. *TR

2005 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY, STARTED AT @ 25,000 MILES IN 2008 AND STILL HAPPENS TODAY. HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 60 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE LUG NUTS WERE TORQUED TO FORD SPECS. TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW HOURS RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FREQUENT WITH THE FORD SUPER DUTY LINE FROM 05"-08". IT SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT FORD HAS OFFERED ANY REMEDIES. THE NHTSA ALSO KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. I VIEWED FOUR NHTSA VIDEOS THAT DEMONSTRATED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND NO ACTION ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *JS
