 Description of the problemI experienced what is considered the "death wobble" twice last week while traveling at around 70 mph, both times it happened after crossing a bridge seam the truck became uncontrollable shaking violently , i thought my axle under the truck had broke , it was so violent i wasn't even thinking about the other drivers traveling at same speed as i had to slow to almost 20 mph to get it to stop but i was able to get off to the side of the road once i could control the steering. So after checking to make sure all was good ,i was still on all fours and not ever hearing of anything like this "death wobble thing " assuming vdot needed to fix some pavement i continued and about three miles down the road the same thing happened after crossing a bridge over a bridge seam but this time i was in the passing lane and was right beside an eighteen wheeler . With vehicles on all three sides of me , no way to get off highway , and a violent, shaking and uncontrollable steer wheel, i had no other choice but to brake and slow to 30 mph . The next day i took the truck to ford dealership where they are deciding what is wrong with and what caused this to happen. I have researched and found this is not an isolated issue and seems a huge problem with the 2017.
