What 2014 Ford F-250 SD owners say
Suspension
I bought this vehicle in dec. 2017 with 17,000 miles on it, and it now has 30,000 miles on it. On feb 11,12 while driving in akron ohio at around 65 MPH I hit a bump and the front end started shaking so fiercely I could hardly control the truck. My wife was with me and was terrified. If she was driving it she would have never been able to control it and would probably been involved in a horrible and most likely a fatal accident. My problem is that I'm finding out that this has been a problem for a while now and Ford isn't doing anything about or as my dealership service department said when I dropped it of this morning, doesn't think it's a safety issue. This truck has done this numerous times in the 13,000 miles since I've owned it. …
My truck at around 15000 miles had some wobble after hitting bumps on highway. I took it in for its 25000 mile check up and stated this as well as poor economy or 1 or so. They said nothing was wrong... Well at 27000 miles it was shaking so violent I demanded it be brought in for service it was going to kill someone! Groove Ford looked it over (who bought it from) and said the entire front end was worn out and was not covered because now it was 40 day past the 3 year. Even thought they told me to wait, and it was 9000miles under the millage!! I finally got Ford to pay for 2000 and the groove Ford paid nothing I paid 700. They very day I got it back I was then hearing a noise turning sharply left on steering wheel rotation. I was told that another $700 and nothing to do with what they did. …

I was not towing or hauling anything the day temperature is 66 degrees. I set at the pump for a minute on the phone and then turned the truck off. Proceeded to fill up and then depart. I started my truck removed the emergency brake at the same time my dash indicator lights all started in with height exhaust temp height oil temp all sorts of other lights along with engine system start failure. I pulled away from the pump for safety and then shut it off. That was it no start same warnings. After calling a wrecker twenty minutes went by and I tried it again and it started with a service engine light on. No dealer could get to it for two or three days so I drove it home to schedule an appointment. …
