NHTSA Complaint #10578607 — 2012 FORD F-350 SD

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY CALL THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AFTER HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS / POT HOLES, THE FRONT WHEELS START TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY, VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AS THE MILEAGE INCREASES ON MY TRUCK, THE INCIDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND INTENSE. TODAY, 04/09/2014, I ALMOST GOT KILLED ... LITERALLY ! ON I-65 SOUTH OF LAFAYETTE INDIANA, HIT A SERIOUS OF ROAD PATCH BUMPS AND HOLES ... THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE AND IT WENT INTO A FRENZY, THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY. CARS AROUND ME WERE DIVERTING AWAY, AND A SEMI WAS PUSHING HARD FROM BEHIND AND HIT HIS AIR BRAKES, I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. APPLYING THE BRAKES ONLY MADE IT WORSE. I AM A 6' 3" STRONG MUSCULAR MAN, AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OR DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I STARTED IN THE RIGHT LANE, BUT WOUND UP IN THE MEDIAN, AND ALMOST TOOK OUT (2) CARS TO MY LEFT AND OF COURSE THE IMPENDING SEMI BEHIND ME. I TOLD THE DEALER OF THE ISSUE, THEY DID THEIR INSPECTIONS AND FOUND NOTHING. THE TRUCK IS OEM, I HAVE NOT ADDED OR MODIFIED A SINGLE THING, IT IS AS IT WAS FROM THE FACTORY. NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED OR MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CONDITION !! A FORD CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. THERE HAVE BEEN LAWSUITS FILED, I HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO DO MORE RESEARCH. BUT IT SEEMS PRETTY INCREDIBLE TO ME, THAT WITH THIS RECURRING ISSUE THAT GOES BACK 15 YEARS OR MORE, THAT THIS AGENCY OR FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE SITUATION. GUESS WE NEED AT LEAST 12 DEATHS TO MAKE IT WORTH SOMEONE'S ATTENTION TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM, NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER AND HIS OCCUPANTS, BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AROUND ONE OF THESE TRUCKS WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" DOES IT'S THING, TAKING OVER THE TRUCK. WHY IS THIS BEING IGNORED ?? *TR
