Description of the problem	My 2005 ford f250 super duty truck exhibits a condition referred to in forums as 'death wobble', in which the truck's front suspension shakes violently at highway speeds above 50 mph. This condition is generally brought on by either of the front wheels hitting any deviation in the road surface such as bridge expansion joints, potholes, etc. The condition is so bad that immediate loss of control can only be controlled by jerking of the steering wheel or an immediate reduction in speed, generally to 25 mph. I have experienced this condition several times over the past 9 years since purchasing this vehicle, most recently on july 12th while traveling on the 57 freeway in southern california at 65 mph. I was travelling in the left hand lane next to the carpool lane (in moderate traffic) when i rolled over a bridge expansion and the left front wheel started shaking violently and causing me to immediately apply my brakes to regain control. The severity seems to be greatly reduced when hauling a substantial load in the truck bed, but i did experience this twice while hauling a 20' cargo trailer across the country. I understand that a class action suit was filed against ford in june/2019 and that ford has been aware of this issue with other truck owners filing complaints regarding this condition. I personally have not gone to ford regarding this as it is a waste of my time. The components they replace do not cure the problem, as many truck owners will attest. In my research, i found a company in utah that provides an aftermarket kit that appears to fix the issue. As i am about to embark on another 6000 mile journey with my wife and family, i intend to purchase and install this kit on my vehicle. If i find upon returning that this kit has alleviated my truck's issue, i will re-contact nhtsa with my results.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
