Vibration 60-70mph

[Capecod]

Make sure ford has all your complaint information on your case number. The ford rep for mine hasn’t done shit and my dealership has been the one adding info on their end but the ford rep just created a ticket and never added any of the stuff I asked him to. I’m starting to regret trading in my functioning Chevrolet.

2022 F-150 XLT FX4 3.5 shook and vibrated violently at highway speed. Shaking subsided but now ride quality is junk. Truck shakes and vibrates slightly at all speeds now. Feel it in steering, pedal, seat, center console. Truck also seems to pull left a bit. 2900 miles on it. Taking to dealer after finally getting them to get me a service loaner. Very disappointed with Ford. Only 1/5 local dealers seem willing to help. Glad I’m not the only one with issues but this is a joke. Brand new truck rides like krap.

My 2022 F150 4x4 3.5 Eco Vibrating/rumble at highway speeds. less than 500 miles. Did you get your issue resolved ? They have replaced the driveshaft and say it better but issue not completely resolved. Thanks

Mine has a very similar light vibration/drone between 40 and 60 mph. Ive changed tires and wheels,no difference. Sounds almost like a bad wheel bearing or exhaust drone.I cant figure it out . Mine isnt real consistent. It varies at different speeds etc. Im taking it in for service next week and see if they can find anything. It looks as if lots of customers are having similar problem. Mine is A 2021 RCSWB with 5.0,3:73diff and 10 spd auto.

Did you get this issue resolved ?

I also started having vibrations after a tire rotation at around 4000 miles. I was right before a 2000 miles trip with towing so decided it would be a good idea to rotate the tires. As soon as I left the dealer, my steering wheel, truck, seat, butt, started vibrating at around 70 mph. I went back the next day and they balanced the wheel. It fixed the problem for a while, now I am having a much milder vibrations starting at around 68 mph, nothing like those in the video.
My point is though - if a wheel is balanced, it is balanced, it should not matter if it is in the front or back, so I am not sure why the vibrations started and why was a wheel balance necessary. I never ever had to do a wheel balance after tire rotations in any other vehicle.
Also, I am not sure what a "Road force" Balance is, but should this be done under warranty, if the vehicle is vibrating like this?

My 2022 F150 starts to rumble /vibrate in cab at 67MPH. less than 500 miles. Did you get your issue resolved ?

I did, for the most part.
Went in for Road Force Balance, they did 3 and realized the 4th tire was dafective.
Ordered a new tire, went back, they had 3 new tires (for me and other trucks), all three were damaged as well.
Re-ordered, and finally tire was fine.
The truck is now smooth. There are really minor vibration that I can feel occasionally, I contribute this to different roads, different sections of roads, etc. For the most part it's fine and probaby normal. I don't think anything else can be done.

Thanks Very Much for taking the time to reply. Good to hear that your have the issue pretty much resolved. I'll mention the road force balancing to my dealer. These forums are a wonderful resource.

No I ended up having so many problems with my lump of crap I sold it back to the dealership. Trailer brake controller worked intermittently, backup camera wouldn’t work, the entire dash had to be replaced because the vehicle couldn’t tell what direction it was going or what the transmission temp was, the vehicle would go full alarm when I would disconnect my trailer, and the brakes would auto engage way before they needed to. I couldn’t stand it, so they agreed to buy it back and sold it to another dealer that took another 6 months to fix everything before they listed it for sale. After they bought it back though I ordered an f250 xl- ford was never able to build it so I took my deposit back and bought a Silverado 2500. I don’t intend to buy a Ford again.

Thanks so much for taking time to reply to me. My truck's cameras do not work either. Dealer ordered parts and says they are on backorder. I tow a heavy boat( 10000 lbs). Have Max Tow package with trailer brake controller. Will be watching that ! I'm so sorry to hear what you went through. Ford is losing loyal customers like yourself who are fed up. I'm so happy I did not trade in my 2009 F150. Love the 2009 and was hoping for the same with the 2022 which is not happening yet.

I noticed the vibration/ rumbling at highway speeds the day i took delivery. Dealer has replaced driveshaft and said there has been an improvement but still an issue. Waiting for a phone call so I can road test. Will keep everyone posted. Appreciate reading everyones posts.

Much improved after dealer replaced rear driveshaft. I was told to drive a bit and bring back if not happy. So far I will say that the improvement is significant.

Same issue here, starts at 55, most noticeable at 60, mostly goes away at about 70. Truck is a 21 F150 Tremor. Oscillating hum, it is most prevalent when accelerating and there is a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Extremely annoying and disappointing, my dealer can't look at it until 11/19. I have owned a 2007, 2013 and a 2016 F150, this has never happened before.

did You figure out what it was?

My 2021 F150 Powerboost 3.5L has been great (very happy with it) but does have a vibration "rumble strip" feel when adding power in gears 8,9,and 10 like going up hill. I didn't want to take it to dealer since it isn't critical and I doubted they would resolve it, and I actually notice the boost gauge adding boost when this happens (boost sucks gas) so I press - minus button on shifter once or more as needed and force downshifts that then reduces boost and gives me better mileage. Instantly the "rumble strip" vibration feel disappears. Sounds like a lot of trucks exhibit it but Ford doesn't appear to have a solution. When road flattens, I press plus + button once for each missing gear and add gears back. It cruises on flat just fine at all speeds so my issue can't be tire balance or driveshaft balance. Probably like a "chug and shudder" in transmission like E40D transmissions had in late 90's. Back then, fresh transmission fluid change was only (temporary) fix. I use the rumble as an alarm to me that boost is sucking gas. I figured sooner or later someone will figure it out and a fix will be determined. I don't want mechanics messing with my truck unless they truly have a solution. Anyone heard of any new solution for this issue?

No, the Ford engineer that inspected my truck decided all the vibration and clunking was normal. The bottom line is the 10 speed as it is now is not ready for the street. There are lawsuits pending over this. The problem is huge and expensive. Advice to me from a Ford employee who is a friend was to trade it in as the solution if any was a long ways out, I was tired of all the BS and run around. I ended up with a 22 Tundra. Lost 12k on the deal.

Hi there. This vibration concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your F-150. Could you please send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.

Pullin up this old thread.

My 22 2.7 seems to have the 9th and 10th gear 50mph-65mph rumble with 2500 miles while light on the throttle. I brought it up to the dealer, but didn't want them hanging onto my truck. Its bad enough it took all damn day to do the brake harness recall.

I assumed it was because the rear blocks were removed, but pinion angle checks out AND there isnt vibration when off throttle.

Then I assumed it was a transmission issue, but it doesn't rumble outside of those ranges in any gear.

Then i looked at driveshaft, but 7th and 8th at that speed range is perfect which rules that out.

It ain't tires, as michelin can do no wrong and it just doesnt feel like tires.

Someone mentioned the EGR leaning out in 9th and 10th to give me those sweet sweet mpgs, which could cause misfires. I use the highest availabile octane, but I suppose this is possible if there's a bad coil or plug. Thoughts on how to test coils at home? I think this is the likely culprit tbh.

Then engine and trans is literally perfect otherwise. I really like the trans in particular. The engine did seem to have an ever so slight roughness in the idle on the rare occasion, but not while warmed.

I did see the TSB, but I'm not really sure what it actually is doing.

Wow, hell of a thread. Add me to the list of many to the multiple attempts to fix vibrations. Our is a 2023 F150 Single Cab 2wd 5.0. Stock wheels balanced and also purchased new wheels/tires since I wanted them even before getting the truck. Since we lowered the truck we thought it was ford performances lowering rear shackle causing it since it effects pinion angle, but ended up making sure the pinion angle was perfect as well as balancing stock drive shaft thinking that might be it too, nope. Still thought the stock drive shaft might be causing some vibration based on others findings so we purchased a Drive Line 1 new alum drive shaft just to make sure. Unfortunately didn't make any difference. After weeks of testing, changing wheels back and forth, rebalancing, alignments, pinion angle adjusting etc.. nothing has changed. We are in belief these F150's are are just really screwed up, who knows where its coming from, maybe the rear end end itself (gears inside are cut wrong), trans/torque convertor , cab itself shaking or something Ford knows and doesn't want to share / address. Regardless its just not right and causing continuous vibrations and the lovely 60-75 humming sounds that so many have shared, god knows where that is coming from, though more pronounced on deceleration even when you put in it neutral. So sad, its something we all take for granted, something nice and smooth to drive, not going to happen with these trucks. If I wanted a massaging chair to drive I'd have purchased one. Debating what to do next... I mean seriously all these post on multiple different forums all having same issues, stock!!!! They surely have some type of issue and its not tire related, and if so, then these are the most sensitive trucks to ever have been created. Its not the tires period

 

[WhiteLightningnshitshadow]

Wanted to provide an update. I haven't found a fix, but believe it's related to driveline angles. I theorize the range of angles these trucks have to operate in is much larger than other trucks because we have very small and soft single rear leaf springs. I think they're optimized around higher output situations which leads them to oscillate when at tip in.

That makes the most sense to me being as this is happening across engines and model years. It doesn't seem to happen in other 10r80 vehicles or other vehicles with the same engines but different chassis.
