Description of the problem	Traveling on interstate 65 south from montgomery, al headed home to defuniak springs, fl, was crossing a bridge that had bumps in the road from what i think were where bridge road sections. I was in the far left lane of a four part of the highway going about 65 mph when i felt the bumps in the road and all of a sudden my 2012 ford f250 fx4 started a violent shaking in the front end of my truck so bad i could not control the vehicle! I thought the front end of my truck was coming loose from the vehicle! I could barely hold onto the steering wheel! I reduced speed as quickly as i could as i maneuvered over to the emergency lane far right. Thank god without an accident! A policeman stopped to assist me once i had the vehicle stopped on the right shoulder of the interstate and i told him i was already searching for the nearest ford dealers for help. Local dealers were telling me i would need to have several front end suspension parts replaced, but would have to order parts and be several days before they could do work. I googled what happened and found out this was happening at an alarming rate for a lot of ford f250 and f350 truck owners. It is called the "the ford f250/f350 death wobble"! Apparently this is a ford design defect that causes this to happen at any mileage on vehicle. I decided to try to slowly drive my truck back to our home in defuniak springs, fl and was able to do so. The truck seemed to be okay after the incident as i drove back home at a slow speed. I have been fearful since to drive more than 60mph with it and my wife wil not drive the truck anymore! Ford needs to fix this!!
