Description of the problem	2005 ford f250 4x4, 4 door, auto, 5. 4l gas, approx. 39k mi. Traveling at interstate highway speed, in a sweeping left hand curve, crossing rough pavement, a severe steering wheel shake and front wheel shimmy commenced, causing loss of steering control, involuntary rapid lane change and near accident. I slowed to 25 mph in order to regain control of the truck. Living in fl and working in sc at the time, i was forced to deal with different ford dealers in the columbia, sc and bartow, fl areas. On the advice of various ford service departments, i replaced tires, wheels, ball joints, shocks (twice), steering stabilizer, had multiple alignments and wheel balances performed. As i was stranded out-of-town with a truck that was handling progressively worse, i spent approximately $4,500 in parts replacements before the problem was remedied. Three ford dealerships acknowledged that a serious problem existed and that the vehicle was in warranty. Ford customer relationship center personnel, 800-392-3673, employed blatant stalling tactics until my odometer had passed 40,000 miles, then refused to render any assistance. More than one year later, i am waiting for a call from a regional ford service manager, supposedly arranged through a columbia, sc ford dealer. I have received high speed driving instruction at two different police academy courses. I have driven dozens of different vehicles at very high speeds over hundreds of thousands of miles. I know a dangerous vehicle defect when i see one. This ford suspension problem presents a life threatening condition that is well known by ford. Not only has ford not recalled these vehicles, their service personnel are engaging in a campaign of denial and deception.
