VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE AND CAB VIBRATION WHEN HITTING UNEVEN SURFACE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70MPH.) WHEN THE WOBBLE OCCURS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO AROUND 40MPH FOR THE WOBBLE TO GO AWAY AND REGAIN CONTROL. THE MILEAGE WHEN IT STARTED WAS APPROXIMATELY 40K AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WITH 67K I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FORCED OFF THE ROAD AS I COULDN'T STEER IT AWAY FROM THE MEDIAN. AS SOON AS MY SPEED DIPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH I REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS ABLE…

Owner report 11128083 · 2018-09-07 (September 7, 2018)
HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND SENT METAL THROUGH THE FUEL LINES INTO THE INJECTORS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PUMP WENT OUT AND THE TRUCK SHUTDOWN WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING. THIS ISN'T SO MUCH A SAFETY RECALL BUT I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER 6.7 DIESEL OWNERS AND THE SAME HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. FORD WANTS $9000 TO FIX AND SAYS THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE 6.7'S . I AM LODGING THE COMPLAINT IN THE HOPES OF YOUR BOARD ENFORCING A RECALL. THAT IS MY ONLY REASON
