2019 Ford F-250 Supercab PU/EC 4x2 Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2019 Ford F-250 Supercab PU/EC 4x2

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"driving at 50 mph+, i have experienced a violent wobble in the truck that can only be stopped by coming to a complete stop with my truck. this has happened multiple times. i have read up on this and it seems to be called the “death wobble” and can not be fixed. i have had a baby and another small child in the truck with me at one of the occurrences. this wobble causes me to almost lose control over the vehicle. is there a recall i am unaware of for the suspension and steering? i have read that customers have tried to fix the issues and have not been able to. my family uses this truck often as we don’t have another option at the moment. another worry is that this wobble has damaged other components of the truck that i am unaware of.

Complaint:
"at less than 10,000 miles, on a curve, my truck began shacking uncontrollably, putting me in to oncoming traffic and into a ditch. i was able to control it enough and an accident didn’t occur. i contacted my salesman and he said it was known as the death wobble. he told me to bring it in. i took it in and they explained that they can put a steering damper on it, but it wouldn’t fix the problem and they needed to replace several parts. i said it’s under warranty so do it. they explained it wouldn’t be covered and the only thing ford would pay for would be the dampener. i told them to do it. at app. 32,000 miles it has happened again. i feel that ford is not taking responsibility and that it could cost my life, as well as others."
