STEERING

Icon Vehicle Dynamics, LLC (Icon) is recalling all 05-UP FSD 2.5 Centerline Stabilizer Kits with part number 65050. The kits were sold as an accessory for certain 2005-2021 Ford F-250 4X4 and F-350 4X4 pickup trucks. The foam ring inside the stabilizer "through shaft" may block the piston ports, p

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 DEALERSHIP SAY THEY REPLACE THE SAME THINGS ON 3 TO 4 TRUCKS A MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE.

Mileage: 61,000

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.

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.

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.

Mileage: 45,310

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY HIGHWAY IF YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP OR GO OVER AN OVERPASS AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 35MPH THE SUSPENSION AND FRONT WHEELS START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WILL LOSE CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT WILL STOP. THE VIOLENT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. SINCE THIS OCCURS ON MAJOR OVERPASSES AND TURNS IT HAS AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION ISSUE COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE NHTSA MUST INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD IMMEDIATELY OR IT WILL RESULT IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND DATA TO SUGGEST THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING OF THESE VEHICLES. A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED ALONG WITH A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF THE DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION AND S

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OVER 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATING AND SHAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH, THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE/SHUTTER VIOLENTLY. IT FREAKED ME OUT AND I WAS CONVINCED I BLEW A TIRE. I PULLED OVER AND INVESTIGATED AND NOTHING SEEMED BROKEN AND ALL TIRES APPEARED FINE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER, CONVINCED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR ANY OBSTRUCTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR DON'T HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK I WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THIS RATHER LARGE TRUCK WANTS TO GO CAREENING ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC UNTIL THE SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW ~40MPH AND THE VIOLENT SHUDDERING CEASES. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS NOW THAT DATE OVER 10 YEARS OLD.

Mileage: 60,000

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. HIT A SMALL POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS FROM THE FRONT END. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO BE RIPPED OFF.

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 45 ON UP FRONTEND WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSS LANE CONTROL. MOST OFTEN IT IS FOLLOWING ANY COMPROMISE IN THE ROAD BUT HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT ME FEELING OR SEEING ANY CHANGE IN THE SURFACE. WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, THEY QUICKLY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM CALLING IT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. ALARMED BY THE NAME ALONE I ENQUIRED. THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THEY ONLY OFFER THE CONSUMER TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR AFTERMARKET PART TO RECTIFY THEIR ILL ENGINEERED FRONTEND. THIS IS A SERIOUS OCCURRENCE AND WILL END UP CAUSING MANY WRECKS AND THE GREAT POTENTIAL FOR FATALITIES. I SEE FORD AND WHOEVER ELSE TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS SITUATION TO BE IN THE HEADLINES RIGHT NEXT TO GM AND THEIR ATTEMPT TO PRETEND AND BURY ISSUES KNOWING THEY PRESENT A COMPROMISE IN SAFETY. THERE IS A COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THEIR PART TO NOTIFY BOTH FORD AND NHTSA OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE FOR YEARS AND BOTH

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT SHAKES SO BAD AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. ALMOST HIT A SEMI THAT WAS NEXT TO ME. I AM TOLD ITS CALLED THE FORD DEATH SHAKE AND YOU CAN SEE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET OF THE PROBLEM AND I TOO HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO ON MY PHONE OF MY TRUCK DOING THIS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A STEERING STABILIZER BUSHING, SO I REPLACED IT. STILL DID IT. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE STRUT ON THE STABILIZER BAR, REPLACED IT. STILL DOES IT. NOW IN AT FORD AGAIN AND THEY TELLING ME ITS SOME PIN BAR,, WHAT EVER THAT IS. THEY ARE REPLACING IT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS... BAD DESIGN ALONG WITH THE REGEN SYSTEM TO MEET EMISSION BUT THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. THANKS *TR
