What 2007 Ford F-350 owners say
Suspension
This truck has the problem known as the "death wobble." I bought the vehicle from Johnson City Ford in Johnson City Tennessee after they said they had inspected it and everything was fine on the truck. It was used so I bought the extended warranty. The truck started shaking so violently I couldn't drive it. I took it back to this Ford place. They replaced the universal joint under my warranty. I left didn't get it home and it started again shaking. I took it back to them and they confirmed the death wobble and said there were no recalls and they want 3600 dollars to fix the problem. I called Ford corporate and they said there were no recalls or programs to help with this problem.
There is an issue that is known to the Ford motor company involving this type of vehicle which is severe steering wheel and front wheel vibrations. I have received at least two letters from Ford concerning this issue. The one I have before me is listed as literature program 09l02. It states that Ford and NHTSA are studying the issue. Unfortunately that does little good for me as my vehicle is basically an accident waiting to happen. The severe steering wheel and front wheel vibrations render the vehicle unsafe to drive as they (the severe steering wheel and front wheel vibrations) happen with no provocation at times and the vibrations become so violent that keeping control of the steering wheel is extremely difficult, additionally controlling the vehicle is impossible. I have had the severe steering wheel and front wheel vibrations occur at speeds from @20mph to 55mph.
Fuel & propulsion system
Engine is the 2.7 Ecoboost and is becoming louder and louder with many ticks and sounds whether you are driving or idling the vehicle at a stop light. Every morning the engine ticks and revs very high and emits huge billowing white smoke from the exhaust whether it's warm or cold outside. Believe the engine is needing to be replaced in the upcoming recall from ford for the exact engine.
Since I bought this 2007 Ford f 350 I've had nothing but problems fuel pump injectors EGR cooler fuel filters brakes the truck has been in th e shop three times since I've had it now I'm praying dont anything else go wrong what a waste.;
