Description of the problem	While traveling about 60 mph on a rural road the truck front end started shaking rapidly. Steering wheel violently jerked out of my hand. Truck was very hard to control and rapid braking was required in order to remain in control. Vehicles traveling behind me also had to rapidly brake to avoid hitting me. Checked the truck out and found nothing loose or obvioulsy broken. Went on my way. Truck now does this several times daily while drving. Extremely dangerous. Someone is going to get killed due to this issue, its just a matter of time. After some research i can see that this is a known issue referred to as "death wobble". Two others i know of with brand new trucks are also having these issues. I took my truck to dealer at 7,000 miles complaining about "chatter" in the front end when hitting bumps. They stated nothing wrong, and now at 14,000 miles i am experiencing this violent shake. I no longer feel safe driving this truck, and it appears ford isnt fixing the issue, although i do have a call in to the dealer. Ford appears to be slapping a new steering damper on the vehicle to mask the problem for a number of miles until it will return. A steering damper is designed to prevent this issue from happening on old or worn front end parts. This should not happen on a new truck under any circumstance, even with no steering damper. This issue needs a recall before someone is killed.
