Description of the problem	I have experienced an issue with my 2008 ford f-250 where i hit a bump on the interstate and experienced the steering wheel oscillating and front end wobbling both extremely doing 65mph andwas almost thrown into a semi truck twice the same night. I had just purchased this truck back in july but had not drove it on the interstate, actually i hadn't driven it much at all. It has low mileage and is all factory. I took it to the dealership and they told me this happens all the time also they stated that fords service recommends 75lbs tire pressure and that is all that is wrong with it. The trucks stickers recommendation is less than that. The wheels on my truck are stock factory and do not have low pressure sensors on them. I have researched several complaints on the internet about this issues and of accidents and injuries resulting from what is being called the "death wobble". I think this matter should be investigated and the problem fixed properly by ford, not patched with tire pressure. I pull a trailer sometimes with this truck. If this happened while pulling one i am sure i would have been seriously injured or killed as in other cases i have heard about. I am scared to death to drive this truck now. Why isn't someone doing something about this. Please help us who own these vehicles. The mechanic who is a friend of mine stated that this will still happen sometimes even with the increase in tire pressure.
