Description of the problem	My 2012 f-250 has 126,000 miles on it and i have been experiencing a steering vibration at about 50-55 mph while driving over bumps and rough roads. About a week ago i was coming down a mountain highway and drove over some rough areas in the road at about 50 mph and the truck started vibrating and shaking violently. I had little control and almost went off the side of of the highway which has about a 2000 foot drop. I didn't think i would be able to stop but got it slowed down and the vibration went away. I have never been so scared. The past few days i have been reading online about ford's f-250 "death wobble". I am certain this is what i experienced and have checked the front suspension and found no obvious problem. With as many complaints i have read about this issue i'm surprised there has not been any talk of a recall. I am a retired ase certified master tech dealership technician and from what i have read the main problem is the trac bar & ball joint wearing prematurely and not enough positive caster which is non adjustable for this model. I can see these components possibly causing this issue. Please do something before someone s killed!

What is Recall?
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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
