Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dramatic wheel and front end wobble when hitting a bridge transition. Vehicle becomes uncontrollable and continues to shake violently until vehicle comes to almost a complete stop. I had this same issue in my 2005 f250 and had to change almost all the components of the front end to fix. There are hundreds of people speaking about this on the forums and state that there are tsbs that cover this but that the parts fail again in about 25k miles. I pull a boat quite often and if this would have happened with a trailer behind my truck there would have been fatalities. As it was cars went all over the interstate trying to get away from me. This issue has been around for a long time and it seems that it has not been addressed by the manufacture. I love and need my 3/4 ton truck and believe that ford makes the best truck, but there will be deaths caused by this, if not already. Now i will start the long process of getting the dealer to fix the issue.
