This page covers 1 recall and 274 owner complaints for the 2016 Ford F-250.
Suspension and steering dominate the complaint picture for the 2016 F-250. Owners frequently report front-end vibration, shimmy, and instability, often described as a death wobble, where the steering wheel and front suspension shake violently, typically triggered at highway speeds or after hitting a bump. Steering complaints overlap heavily with this pattern, with owners describing a loss of directional control during the wobble episodes that can make the truck feel unmanageable. Airbags make up the third-largest complaint category, where owners report warning lights illuminating and concerns about whether the system would deploy correctly. A smaller but recurring thread involves the backup camera going dark or showing a blank screen, with some owners also noting the accessory screen module failing entirely and taking the camera feed with it.
