Description of the problem	Tsb front end oscillation iirc. Or as known on the internet as the death wobble (which seems very fitting as the truck goes completely out of control, it feels as if the whole front end is coming apart!)? Severe shaking at high speeds or on rough roads-just driving along and all of the sudden severe shaking occurs so severe that this could cause an accident, almost like both front tires blow out at the same time, severe steering difficulties when this happens, if you come to a complete stop and then take off it stops? Intermittent but incredibly dangerous! Has happened 3 times within the last 2 weeks? Once on a gravel road, once on a road with potholes and once on rt43 smooth as glass road at a speed of 65mph? This is always a sudden onset- no warning? This needs to be addressed, my children were in the car when we were going on rt43.. This could have killed us had it been a two lane road as we were just doing the speed limit of 65mph and all of the sudden the front end is all over the place and out of control! It was almost impossible to control... I had the brakes to the floorboard and the front end of the vehicle was jumping all over the road, had there been a car beside us we would have collided with them! This is all over the internet as the death wobble but had it not happened to us we would not know about it! There should at minimum be a warning this could get people killed if it is not addressed... Please, investigate this on the f250 ours is a 2005 but i have read that many others are having the same problem! This is a hazard! 11-2-08 was the most recent incident the other two times happened within 2 weeks before! This is a scary situation, i am just thankful that there weren't a lot of other cars on the road or i fear that i wouldn't be around to write this complaint... It is this severe... No exaggeration! This needs to be addressed!
