Description of the problem	I was safely operating my ford f 250 on a concrete bridge in pine island florida . I was traveling @ 63 mph and was making a slight left bend . The truck crossed an expansion joint and went into uncontrollable violent oscillation of suspension and steering . The oscillation was such that the steering wheel was difficult to hold on to and my first thought was multiple flat tires or a wheel came off the vehicle . Hard braking to under 30 mph was what was required to stabilize steering to "normal" . That was the first time this occurred and i discussed with my service adviser at the ford dealership that i purchased the truck from. I inspected vehicle and could see no damage of obvious problems . I monitor tire pressure regularly , have no modifications to suspension or steering on vehicle . The next time this occurred 12/26/13, i was traveling approx. 65 mph and again was in a slight left hand turn and crossed an expansion joint near birmingham alabama on highway 65. I was surrounded by dense 65 mph traffic and the truck was uncontrollable. This time there was a near accident as i has a semi tractor trailer both close behind me and to the right side of me . Once again i had to brake rapidly to avoid crossing lanes putting my family at risk of serious accident . This is a hazardous condition and the dealer has no explanation. The force is violent enough that it could easily damage parts of the truck . As a side note , the fuel pump came apart and slung metal fragments throughout the fuel system in truck within one hour of the violent oscillation.
