Suspension · at 61,000 miles · reported Oct 8, 2018
Issue #1 at highway speeds and after hitting a bad bump on road, the truck would go into an uncontrollable wheel hop. The only way to bring vehicle back under control is to slow down below 40 MPH. This nearly caused a wreck on the interstate. Issue #2. The truck cab bushings will crumble in your hand. This causes a very harsh ride over any type of bumps. I was told by ford dealership this is not covered even though there is only 62k miles on it. It cost over $1600 to have these 2 issues fixed. I have 3 other friends with the same year model truck that had to have the same things replaced. The…

Tires replaced due to belt separation at the edge of the tread, causing a severe vibration above 35mph. The tires DOT was checked with manufacturers list of recalls and even though the tires were manufactured in 2009, they were not included. I feel they should also be included since the same set of conditions are applicable to these tires.
Steering · at 95,000 miles · reported Sep 27, 2017
Front wheel wobble aka death wobble. Vehicle became severely unstable at highway speed (70 MPH) after hitting bump in road, front of vehicle began to shake violently causing loss of steering control. Had to slow vehicle to 25 MPH to stop shaking.
Tires · at 45,310 miles · reported Feb 21, 2017
Continental contitrac. I already reported issue with one tire 12/15/15 #10854773 and now have had to replace another 2 tires. One caused vibration even at slow speed. It was too dangerous to drive so we had to tow the car to get the tire replaced. While at store, we were informed about cracks on another tire and had to get it replace. There was a recall for 2008 and 2009 original tires on f250 but not for 2010.
Engine · at 43,727 miles · reported Jun 9, 2016
Hose to radiator leaking, took to ford dealer, they said new hoses and needed a new radiator. Said it was still under ford extended warranty. Ford warranty denied the new radiator and hoses saying that the hose leak cracked the radiator and that was the owners fault. Truck has just under 44k miles and is garaged and well taken care of. What good is an extended warranty, first. And second, why should a radiator go bad in short time. Quote for job was over $2000.00.
