Description of the problem	While traveling east bound on interstate 10 crossing over siegen lane, truck passed over small bump in interstate and started to violently shake the entire truck almost to the point of no control. I immediately pulled over to inspect my truck. There was no damage and all tires were in good condition. When i started again the vehicle was fine. This was the first of 12 incidents of what i have come to know from research as the "death wobble". I have taken my truck the the ford dealership on numerous occasions and have spent thousands of dollars to correct the issue to no avail. The problem persists and ford cannot figure out the issue. This is the most unnerving experience. This was a $70000 vehicle which has been kept up to date on all maintenance and repairs. The vehicle has not been wrecked or ever take off road. This is obviously a defect in engineering and seems to be a common problem with this model truck.
