Description of the problem	On 3 occasions (the first 2/17/2019 at about 35,000 miles), we experienced what we have come to know as "death wobble" on our 2018 ford f250. We had purchased the truck used with 33,000 miles. We do not know if the prior owner had experienced this same problem. We were driving straight down the interstate at night at approx. 65 mph. I was driving and hit a bump in the highway. Immediately, the truck was shaking violently, i was pulled all the way from the right lane over into the left lane. I had absolutely no control over the steering. My first thought was that we were experiencing a tire "blow out". When the truck finally slowed enough to stop the shaking and i could once again steer, we pulled onto the shoulder to check our tires. There were no tire issues. It was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully, it was on sunday night without much traffic. Had there been a semi truck the left lane, we would likely have been killed. If there had been a small car in the left lane, we may very well have killed or injured passengers. When we got to our destination in fl, we took the truck to the dealer to have it checked. The dealer did not find any cause or problem and told us it was likely a problem with the trailer we were pulling. We were skeptical, but continued driving the truck. On our return trip when my husband was driving, we once again experienced the violent shaking. He was able to slow down and get control of the steering without a crash. Soon after we returned home, we took the truck to the dealer where we had purchased the truck. They replaced the steering dampener. Although, the tires continued to wear very unevenly, we didn't experience another incident until october, 2019. Steering dampener replaced. It is going back to the dealer this week. I urge action before someone is killed. The death wobble is a present and urgent problem!
