2017 Ford F-350 Super Crew PU/CC 4x2 Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2017 Ford F-350 Super Crew PU/CC 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:
"while driving on i-25 south of denver on 4/13/2023, i drove over a pothole in the interstate. immediately the front end began to violently shake resulting in me applying the brakes and rapidly slowing from 65 mph to ~30mph before the shaking stopped. i was then able to continue on. today (4/15/2023) while traveling to boulder co on us highway 36, the vehicle again began to violently shake as i drove over a bridge expansion joint. again i had to rapidly decelerate from ~65 mph to ~30 mph before the shaking stopped. known as “the death wobble”, this issue is well known in these vehicles and must be addressed by the manufacturer"

Complaint:
"when you hit a bump at road speeds (45 mph+), the steering wheel shakes wildly and you have to slow down immediately to avoid losing control. first happened about 12 months ago. was not a common issue until more recently. now it seems to be nearly every time i drive it. ongoing issue now."

Complaint:
"steering wobble - i was driving on i-5 at 70 mph and ran over a small pothole. the steering started violently and uncontrollably shaking. it caused the truck to drift into the left lane but fortunately no other vehicle was along side. i was able to regain control by cautiously slowing down to about 35 mph. at that point the shaking stopped and steering went back to normal. checking the tpms, the tires were properly inflated at the time. i went on to drive another 200+ miles without further incident. the 2017 f350 truck had 28,328 miles at the time and has only been driven on paved roads. i have noticed in the past that hitting a bump in the road seems to resonate rather than just an initial “bump” like other vehicles i’ve owned. the truck is well taken care of and has never been in an accident."

Complaint:
"truck has was is called a death wobble. at highway speeds the steering will vibrate violently after crossing an expansion joint or bump in the road. braking or rapid slow down will resolve the shaking. the issue seems to be getting worse. the truck was taken to the dealership for repair. the repair will cost several hundred dollars and not covered by the warranty. the mileage of the truck is 80,112 and is 90% highway miles."
Components Involved: STEERING, SUSPENSION
Date of incident: 2023-05-08

Complaint:
"death wobble started to occur around august 2021. no prior incidents. after the first time it would continue to happen anytime driving between 45-60 mph and hitting a bump in the road. once you found a bump that would trigger the death wobble, you could easily recreate the problem. once the death wobble starts you have to slow down to 5-10 mph before it’ll quit. during the wobble it is impossible to control the vehicle as the steering wheel shakes violently and it feels like all wheels are bouncing opposite of one another creating a very scary and violent situation. i had a repair shop go in and replace anything that could be related and had 2 different alignment shops look into the problem. ultimately nothing solves the issue."
