Description of the problem	2011 ford f-250 diesel. The first occurrence was driving approximately 50 mph on a 2 lane rd. After hitting a small bump in the road the vehicle front end/steering began to shake violently from side to side. I took the vehicle to a local tire dealer for tire rebalancing and rotation (3rd for this vehicle) he stated the tires appeared to be wearing "funny". A couple weeks later on a long trip out of state the vehicle began to shake again, worse than before. While out of town i had alignment checked with no issue found and purchased new tires. Vehicle seemed repaired on return trip and has since begun the vibration again. I went to the dealer today who sent me to a local front end specialist. This gentleman knew the exact issue and claims to have repaired hundreds of them. He stated that ford motor company was aware of this issue. His opinion was that i need to purchase a "track bar kit" which he would install and then ensure the vehicle was realigned. After arriving home today i started looking on the internet for any information i could find and found many articles and videos about what is called the "death wobble". I have a son who turned 16 on sunday and i value his life more than to let him drive our new 2011 vehicle which is absolutely ridiculous and the reason i am filing my complaint today.
