Attention: Your Ford Vehicle is not designed to exceed 65MPH

[JExpedition07]

Ford says their large vehicles are not designed to exceed 65 MPH and that it can cause uncontrollable shaking.

LOl what kind of crock is this. Someone needs to find a new dealership!

 

[JExpedition07]

Reminds me of the death wobble all us Super Duty owners are familiar with from over all the years, looks like they still haven’t figured it out lol. All the main HD truck manufacturers have had run ins with the death wobble not just ford. happens on GM and dodge all the time as well.

Solid front axles with worn parts. Gonna get the death wobble from time to time.

It's not a "Ford" thing. It's a solid front axle thing. Jeeps are really known to do it after they get lifted and fitted with some large tires.

That looks like the lane change alert when you try to change lanes without using your turn signal. My wife was complaining that her new 2017 Escape Titanium had a shimmy. Then I figured out that she was changing lanes without turn signals and the shimmy went away.

Hahahahahahahaha I hope you’re joking.

I mean I know lane departure warning vibrates the steering wheel but not the mirrors and the dash…

I haven't driven it that's the way my wife described it. LOL!

My 1965 Schwinn Stingray with springer front end had the high speed wobbles... I went over the handlebars at over 35mph when I was a kid. (I had a speedo on it...) going on a steep downhill racing my Dad. No helmet, walked away with a small scratch on my hip and rode it home. My Dad and I still like to race... Lol

If they weren't designed to go over 65mph they would be governed out at 60mph. It's just a crappy dealer who doesn't care about their customers.

I had that happen to me on my old sting ray back in 1965. I was racing and pedaling so hard that I started pulling the front wheel off the ground, the oscillation kept getting bigger until I did a face plow in the street. I was 7 years old. Broke my upper jaw in three places and chipped my permanent front teeth so bad they had to pull what was left. It didn't end well. That death wobble is a killer.

"Not designed to go over 65 mph" LOL I can't believe this excuse for not fixing whatever is wrong.

Never underestimate the gall of a car dealer.

 

[ExpeditionAndy]

I regularly hit 85 for short periods of time with no issues at all.

 

[lxrick]

I am driving my expy in the summer twice EVERY day up to 110 miles/h (which is the almost the max) for at least 15-20 Minutes each and I never had that.

This is just nonsense.
Btw the expy is limited to that speed not because of drivetrain issues but because of the Tyres. (cost and availability)

As soon as it is spring I will do a video for us here...

With the price of gas who drives an Expedition faster than 65mph?

Dealers can be amazing sometimes.
I called to ask them about replacing all 8 coils and plugs on my 98 Expo, they said they would price it out and call me back.
That was 5 years ago and I still haven't heard back, says a lot about what they desire to do in the service department.

I drive my 05 exp at about 70-80 every day. Sits at about 2-2200 rpms and is quite happy. Getting 16-17 mpg. Usto get 19 until the fuel changed to this garbage we have today.

I believe you we have 70mph 4 land roads and belief me if the Fords really had that problem you wouldn't see them rollin' down the fast lanes the way they do without issues.

Really sad that a mechanic let alone a dealership would tell someone something like this.

I've road raced vintage motorcycles....and have "enjoyed" high speed wobbles several times, each with it's attendant "I'm going to die today" feeling as I struggled to maintain vertical.....but yesterday I drove my Expy 100mph....it did not wobble. Maybe Ford should quickly be informed? Might I reach out to that dealer to inform him?

Sometimes, it's just a special kind of stupid!

I went over the handlebars at over 35mph when I was a kid. Downhill racing my Dad. No helmet, walked away with a small scratch on my hip and rode it home.

Nowadays, with all the political correctness and "save the children" BS out there, your dad would be in jail for endangering your life.

 

[Justinsteg]

A day in the life of a Jeep owner! lol

 

[RonB1964]

I'd bail him out in a heartbeat. My Dad and Mom was, is and will always be my idol.
