MY SHOP DID A REPAIR HISTORY SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2009S HAD A HIGHER FAILURE RATE THAN OTHER YEARS. I ALSO HAD THE MANIFOLD WARP AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT JUST 40K MILES. THANKS - DAN

I'M A LIFE TIME FORD TRUCK OWNER AND HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN MY LIFE AND READY TO PURCHASE FROM A COMPETITOR. THE TITLE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS VERY TRUE AND FORD REALLY NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE IT WILL COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. IF I WASN'T 65 YEARS OLD AND AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER THE MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME. I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING INVOLVING THE SUSPENSION, TIRES, STRUTS, RODS, HAVING MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS, ETC.. AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THIS MESS. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS. I'M WILLING TO BE PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THE LEMONS/DEATH TRAPS THEY'RE PRODUCING & SELLING. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SWITCHED FROM LEAF SPRINGS TO THIS HORRIBLE DESIGN STARTING WITH 2008 MODELS TO PRESENT. *TR

THE FORD F250 WAS TURNING LEFT ON A TWO WAY UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY. IT WAS STRUCK IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A PASSING SEMI-TRUCK/TRAILER. THE COLLISION WAS JUST BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND BACK TOWARD THE BOX OF THE PICK-UP. IT SPUN THE PICK-UP INTO THE DITCH WHERE IT ROLLED ONCE. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WAS EJECTED AND FOUND LYING ON THE GROUND BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE LEGS AND FEET PROPPED UP AGAINST THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BROKEN RIBS AND PUNCTURED LUNG BUT DID NOT REQUIRE SURGERY FOR SUSTAINED INJURIES. THE SEAT BELT SHOWED BURN CONSISTENT WITH BEING LOADED WITH A FORCE AND THE BUCKLE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN BENT SLIGHTLY. EXAMINATION OF THE RECEIVER PORTION SHOWED THE OUTSIDE HOUSING HAD SPLIT AND THE BUCKLE WOULD NOT REMAIN IN OR FASTEN IN AT ALL. IT APPEARS THAT THE PASSENGER WAS EJECTED WHEN THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM FAILED. *TR
