Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Jul 2, 2026
Over the course of the last 3 months I have experienced different problems with the emissions on my truck. It started with replacing the sensor in the tail pipe then that led to loosing power while pulling my 25 foot goose neck trailer. On 7 different occasion I lost power while hooked up to my trailer. It happens with no warning either on hills or on a straight away. Two of the cases almost led to a wreck because semi's were following me to closely and when I lost power I immediately turned on my flashers and they were either able to get around me or lock up their brakes without hitting me.…
Electrical System · reported Nov 11, 2024
Driving during heavy rain in Texas, vehicle lost power intermittently, causing engine failure, loss of steering, loss of braking, loss of control. This event was apparently due to BCM failure due to moisture getting to the BCM. Upon inspection by a certified Mechanic , BCM and wiring was wet. BCM also had apparent corrosion.11

Steering · at 32,000 miles · reported Apr 1, 2019
When driving on highway and go over a bump in road the truck goes into a death wobble and you need to immediately hit the brakes and slow down to almost a complete stop to get the truck back under control. Very life threatening. This is the second time I have had to take back to dealer for same reason. The last time this happened it almost threw me in the ditch. This is a very serious situation and there should absolutely be a recall done before someone gets killed when this happens.
Steering · at 36,500 miles · reported Mar 25, 2019
Experienced the infamous ford "death wobble" after hitting a road dip at 65mph while travelling to fl. I was pulling our 5th wheel camper. I re-experienced it again 15 times during the same trip!!! Front end shakes uncontrollably until you slow down below 40, which is a hazard on a freeway! Occurred several times around 45-50 MPH, too. Please have ford issue a recall!!! I AM not the only owner experiencing this problem and it is a hazard to drive and have it occur.
