Consistent oil leaks. The cars are manufactured poorly and this is a horrible but common issue that Ford has yet to come up with a fix.

While merging onto an interstate the truck began to violently shake causing me to begin to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull off the road before I lost complete control. I was extremely upset after this event. After regaining composure on the side of an interstate I pulled back onto the interstate. Within the next 10 min I hit a bump in the middle of the interstate and the truck again began to shake violently. I thought I was going to lose control and crash. We immediately had the vehicle taken to a mechanic. The work they did cost 1300$. Approximately 2 weeks after getting the vehicle back I was driving over a bridge and the seam in the road again caused the truck to violently shake. Again feeling like I was going to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull over on the side of a bridge. This caused significant trauma to myself and my young son. Since then the truck continues to violently shake anytime it-??s driven over a bump or seam in the road even at slow rates of speed. We have taken the vehicle to the mechanic again and they have been unable to solve the issue

F-250 8-cyl

  • 29,000 miles
The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH, the transmission shift indicator light suddenly began to switch before the vehicle abruptly jolted forward and stopped driving. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was damaged during the incident and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,330. Consumer has tried working with FORD directly, but they continue to insist that FORD does NOT add VINS to recalls. They insist that this is done by the NHTSA. The NHTSA insists that VINS are added to a recall by the manufacturer. We-??re caught between a rock and a hard place. All we are asking is that someone look at the specific details of our FORD F150 to confirm that this vehicle should have been included in the recall and reimburse us the ~$7400 we paid to repair this truck with very low mileage. Also, sister-in-law wrote out the complaint trying to assist them for reimbursement for out of pocket costs.

F-250

  • 6,000 miles
During the epa mandated exhaust regeneration cycle the vehicle begins to shudder uncontrollably along with power loss. This behavior began at around 5,500 miles and now does it at least every other exhaust regeneration. It happens on multiple lane country roads and city roads at around 50 to 60 miles per hour. It seems more specific to the regeneration cycle than any other driving condition or input. Temperature is between 40 and 70 degrees outside so far. Each time it happens is worse than the last. The experience is scary and could be very dangerous. I no longer let my wife drive this vehicle for fear that it may shudder her off the highway.
