The tailgate is electronic and is opening on it's own while in motion. With my 5th wheel rv connected I cannot tell when the tailgate opens and this time it damaged both the tailgate and my rv when I made a right turn. I also lost cargo that was in the bed.

The antenna mount is broken and very poorly made. The service manager said that is what happens when you take it through a car wash, checked 2018 same model and the mount has been changed to a heavy duty mounting bracket. When I was driving, it was waving in the wind and at one time came out completly. I was afraid it would hit someone or something and do harm or damage to someone or something including killing someone. I had to use some type of agent to hold it down but that has to be replaced every month. This is not acceptable, and any vehicle should be eligible to go through a car wash. Vehicle was brought to hawk Ford in oak lawn, il (invoice #841990) with no repairs being done. Was told it was my problem to deal with.

The issue started with the automatic tailgate deploying or opening during transit. I was hauling cargo and the at highway speed the tailgate opened and the load ejected from the the bed of truck onto the highway. Fortunately there was no accident or damage to anyone else property. After this occurrence over a period of weeks the issue continues to get worse. It happens now regularly and numerous times during a day. I do not haul cargo now because of this. Now the truck electrical system seems to be involved. The windows, radio and lights have issues. The tailgate has no now stopped opening randomly and is stuck in the closed position, this could be do to extreme force I applied during closing it in while stetting at a busy intersection recently. The instrument P[panel on the vehicle is very intelligent and all the settings regular disconnect or malfunction now. I am afraid to use the the cruise control because of the continuously random nature of the electronic failures.

At 60 to 65 mph when you hit a bump in the road (going over bridges) the vehicle begins to shake uncontrollably / violently. In two cases I went off the road trying to slow the vehicle down. It will not stop unless you slow down to about 30 mph. In all cases it happened on the highway. Typically while trying to merge into traffic while entering from an on ramp. Most case the bridge joint starts the condition. This has happened 4 times in the last 2 months.

While driving at appx. 70-75 mph after hitting a rough patch or bumps on the road the truck began to shake vigorously, I had to slow to 35-40 mph to get it to stop. I have just had the tires balance, rotated, and inflated to the specs. I was just in the dearlship on Friday 02/15/19 and mentioned it to them they said they would look at it and would be $120 diagnostic fee never got an answer back. This morning alone I had experienced it 3 times in the 40 miles I drive to work. This is a huge safety issue and to experience it that many times in a 40 mile drive to work is not ok. Luckily my kids and wife weren't in the truck they would have never rode in it again. I have 41K miles on my tuck and this isn't the first time it has happened. Before taking the tries to be balanced and rotated fixed the issue so it seamed but right after laving the tire shop it happened. I will be taking the truck back to Ford again for them to tell me there is nothing wrong. What is the fix for this" it seams to a common problem is Ford doing anything to help its customers" now after this run of sudden shakes my sun roof will not open seams to be jammed or off track from the violent shaking not sure what else is broken or no longer works after this.

My Ford F-250 experienced a severe "death wobble" on 3 occasions causing the need to slow down from 65 mph to 25 mph on the freeway during normal traffic. On one occasion, the shaking was so bad it went to the adjacent driving lane while on an on-ramp and was completely uncontrollable. The vehicle is at the Ford dealership now and having the steering shock replaced but the service rep stated they are just trying this as a solution but do not know the root cause. They are also requesting that I pay for an alignment as another possible solution. The truck has roughly 20K miles on it and is completely stock (less a camper shell). I do not feel safe putting my 2 year old, 7 year old, or wife in a very expensive vehicle while having to worry if the truck will cause a wreck due to a factory defect.

Recieved a recall from Ford for frozen door latches. Door will not close in the cold. Went into dealership and they "fixed" the recall. But it did not work. Ford states there is no other fix and there is nothing they can do at this time. They told me to bungee my door shut and wait for another recall! this is a very serious matter that could result in injury or death and Ford is taking no action to fix!

The tailgate on my truck opens on its own. This has happened approximately 6 times over the past few months. I did a google search to see if this was happening to others and found a few articles mentioning it was happening. I figured I would also submit this form to let you know it was happening to me as well.

Door latchs froze wont open or close open while driving. Dealer did recall new parts still have problem now no solution cant fix I was told will call me if they find a fix mean time keep driving the truck hold doors close while driving help

I have had multiple occurrences of "death wobble"...... vehicle only has 12,000 miles on it..... have done research. Seems like there is a safety bulletin out. Ford told me the parts are on backorder for fix.....people online saying even after Ford fix still not fixed. I dont feel safe letting anyone else drive this vehicle....or me driving it above 50 mph. So basically if you hit a road joint for a bridge for example (where I have had it happen 3 times so far) it throws the front end into a rythmatic violent shake. You have to slam on your brakes and slow down to about 25mph for it to go away. I am good at recovering from it now..... but I almost smashed into the guy next to me the first time it happened..... it is very unsafe and Ford has not been very helpful. Please help and make this a more known issue. I have read alot of the same stories online. I had nothing in tow during my occurrences. Thank you in advance.....

Automatic electric tail gate opens randomly without driver selection. This has happened several times while vehicle is moving and has caused damage to tailgate and travel trailer. No indication tailgate is open given to driver. This happened within the first 100 miles after purchase, the first time. It happened several times after that. Last incident I had just pulled onto the freeway and was flagged down by a passing trucker while I was driving at 65mph that my tailgate had opened. Imagine if something had fallen out of the bed of my truck and caused another motorist to crash. I had heard a creaking sound while turning onto a roadway with my airstream travel trailer attached. The tailgate had crunched against the propane bottles causing damage to the tailgate, the propane bottles, and the cover. This had happened to me several times in other instances but thought it was a fluke until this last event while towing my airstream travel trailer. I contacted Ford dealer where I purchased in austin; they submitted to Ford and Ford said they would pay part of the bill, but I am on the hook to pay also. This is a Ford wiring harness issue. Several other people have reported same issue. Ford should fix this 100% before something serious accident occurs from items falling out of the back of the truck when bed opens automatically.

While traveling down I45 at 70mph, the front end of the truck started to wobble really bad and the steering wheel started to wobble bad also. It was hard to hold on too. I slowed down and got off to the side of the rode, at about 30 mph it quit wobbling and I proceeded on. Soon after I was going about 65 mph and it started wobbling again. I slowed down as I did before and it stopped wobbling again around 30mph. I parked when I got home. I went to work the next day and it started wobbling again. Every time I drive it, it wobbles now. I have called dealership and will be taking T in 6 days from today. They could not fit me in until then.

I recently parked my tt at our new rv campground. While backing it up the gate opened randomly in the middle of a turn and dented the top of my tailgate. Extremely upset I new it was going to be a hard case to submit to warranty for them to believe that it wasn't user error. A few days later I left work and drove 20 miles down the highway only to get to where I was going and get out of my truck to see the tailgate down with a full propane tank in the back an a $1000 worth of fishing poles. Today I took my wife to lunch and when we parked and got out the gate was down again. We ate went a few miles down the road, shopped and unlocked the doors using the fob and the gate dropped. That's twice in one day. It was getting worse. Shortly after, I got a last minute call to move my tt due to rising waters here in buchanan at the rv park and while I was getting ready to leave the gate opened on its own while the doors were unlocked. So I got out my camera and closed the gate. Within 20 seconds it opened again. This time I video taped it and texted the video to my Ford warranty rep. I rushed my truck to covert Ford and by gods good grace the tailgate opened repeatedly in front of every Ford rep working. I'll let you know what they find. My truck is a 2017 F250 lariat ultimate. I have a video but it is 9.63mb. Email me if you want it.

My Ford F250 has a severe "wobble" when hitting bumps in the road. The truck begins to shake violently and does not stop until slowing to about 35 mph. The first time I was traveling at only 45 mph and after that it happened at greater sppeeds up to 70 mph. At times, I thought I was going to lose control of the truck. It happened between 15-20 on my trip back to Texas. I took my truck to Ford and they are the ones who described it as a wobble. I have since learned that I am not alone with this defect, I learned this has been happening since at least 2011 and Ford will not correct this as a warranty problem even if you're vehicle is under warranty. I was told my front end was out of alignment to which I replied " if it is, it's because of the wobble", and of course the mechanic said that was not possible, but he was never in the truck when it "wobbled". I then was told about another correction, but the repairs would not be covered. So the only way to correct the "wobble" is to add steering/stabilizer shocks to the front end and pay for it out of pocket even though it is a problem that Ford knows all about. I contacted Ford customer service and they were absolutely no help telling me "after market parts", are not covered under warranty even if that is what it takes to repair the obvious defect of the Ford F250. I had no way of knowing that Ford was adding parts to the vehicle, rather I thought they were making repairs to the existing vehicle. So, it is obvious Ford knows there is a problem and how to correct the problem but they refuse to take of their vehicles or their customer safety. I believe this is a safety issue as it would be easy to lose control of the vehicle. I am asking you to please look into this problem before it turns deadly, and it will turn deadly.

The manufacturer has designed a trailer hitch that makes it impossible to use safety chains with. You can not adequately attach the hooks leading the possibility of a runaway trailer. The Ford superduty trucks boast of their ability to pull well over 10,000 pounds but their engineers did not provide a way to fasten safety chains.
