 Description of the problemI have experienced what is called the death wobble since about 25,000 miles. It is a violent shaking causing the steering to bounce back and forth and is usually set off by something like an expansion joint in the road or a rough patch at highway speed. It is very aggressive and unpleasant. I have taken it into the ford dealership 4 times in the last 18,000 miles for this specific issue. Each time they replace either the drag links or the steering dampener. I am still experiencing the same issue. It became a serious problem for me two days after got it back from the dealership and my wife used it to drive 600 miles. She experienced the death wobble on some ice patches on the freeway and was having trouble controlling the vehicle. I'm not sure why this has not become a recall but i can attest that a driver's safety is compromised by driving a 2017 ford f-250 super duty. I have off-road driving experience and i believe that is the only reason i have been able to avoid accidents over the last 18,000 miles of driving.
