Other body or interior problem on the 2007 Ford F-350 SD
1 injury 1 of the 3 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
Only 3 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When other body or interior problem gets reported
There are 3 reports of other body or interior problem on the 2007 Ford F-350 SD, 3 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 88,000 miles. It is the 4th most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 2,000 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 1 an injury is mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $200–$2,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 13 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2020, at a median of 200 miles, and latest on the 1999 at 120,000 miles.
By volume the 2017 carries the most reports, with 8; the 2007 has 3. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford f-350 sd. While driving over a bump in the road at any speed, the contact loses control and the vehicle shakes violently. If he depresses the brake pedal, the shaking worsens. When he releases the accelerator pedal, the shaking subsides. The vehicle has been to the dealer four previous times for the same failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer again and they stated that the failure will continue to occur due to the vehicle's design. The contact stated that there are other complaints for this exact same failure located at ford death wobble.com. The current mileage was 11,000 and failure mileage was 2,000.
The seats cause serious back pain when driving/riding more than three/four hours risking safety. The head rests are so far back that you cannot drive and have your head against the head rest risking safety and causing neck fatigue and pain. I believe the seats are defective and unsafe. Ongoing problem since december 2006 with most recent date notated. Not yet repaired/replaced. *tr
2007 ford f-350 crew cab srw 4x4, steering oscillation (wobble). Have experienced this problem since truck was almost new. Now have 61 k miles and it is alot worse. As the 08 and 09 investigations revealed, the steering wobble happens when crossing uneven pavement, concrete, dips in the road, railroad crossings (at slow speeds). Happens while empty and when towing a flatbed gooseneck trailer and/or my 5th wheel rv. This has not been resolved by ford yet and they don not know how to fix. I believe it is a bad steering box?? They only want to use us/me as "guinea pigs" to fix. They tell us to replace shocks, steering dampers, and tires. I have put two sets of michelins on truck and does not help at all. According to info on internet this problem has been given the "death wobble" nickname. I would like you all to see if ford has tried anything other than telling us dumb vehicle owners that we don't have enough air pressure in our front tires. I had my tires installed and rebalanced two times at the local ford dealer and does not fix the problem. I feel the truck is very unsafe to drive at any speed and there needs to be a way get to…

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 3 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 3 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other body or interior problem happen on the 2007 Ford F-350 SD?
Across 3 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 2,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other body or interior problem on the 2007 Ford F-350 SD?
3 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 5.4 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
