Starting at 15,500 my truck started the so called "death wobble" ford has been having trouble with. This is my second new truck in 2 years with it and the problem doesn't get fixed. When hitting the slightest bump my truck becomes unstearable due to violent shaking. Ford of uniontown has seen the video of my truck doing it, their service technicians have also experienced it and the only answer i get is " be careful"…

Upon reaching highway speeds(approximately 55-75mph) the front end began to violently shake. This issue started as mere off tracking of the front end, the truck would steer itself. This ended up progressing into such a violent shake that it drove itself off the road. I had no control over the vehicle, and steering control is gone. I wound up in a ditch on my fourth experience with this violent shake.

I started looking into this issue to see if others have had it. It's called, the "death wobble". The ford dealership knows about it but doesn't have a fix for it. It has been taken in and no repairs are needed. How come it's still happening?!?! They need to have a fix for this issue. I don't want to crash because the truck is wobbling so much! I think with the amount we paid for the truck this shouldn't be a concern…
