Description of the problem	I was driving down a city street and my 2009 f250 started to violently shake and i could barely control the steering wheel, it was like i had blown all 4 tires or the suspension had fallen apart. I was talking to my sister on the car speaker when it happened and she could even hear the shaking and started yelling to make sure i had not wrecked my vehicle. I pulled over in a parking lot and everything looked fine, all tires in tact, suspension still on the vehicle. This has happened 3 more times while driving on a city street and also once on a packed interstate. I called a ford dealer and they acknowledged this was known as the "death wobble" but would need to charge me $120 to diagnose the issue. This is not only scary but also very dangerous and could cause injury or even death. I checked google and see lawsuits and ford acknowledge the issue but no recalls and i would have to pay the repairs and save my receipts! Ford needs to fix this! That is too big of a vehicle to have this kind of known issue and no recall to repair!
