NHTSA Complaint #11366906 — 2017 FORD F-250

I WAS DRIVING FROM TWENTY-NINE PALMS CA. TO LAS VEGAS NV. ON THE MORNING OF THE 27TH OF OCTOBER 2020 AT ABOUT 0530 IN THE MORNING IT WAS VERY DARK OUTSIDE. I WAS ON A 2 LANE ROAD. WHILE DRIVING ALONG ON AMBOY ROAD, WHICH RUNS THRU THE DESERT, AT 55 MPH I DROVE OVER SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT AND MY RIGHT SIDE FRONT TIRE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE GAS WHILE LIGHTLY TOUCHING THE BRAKE AND LETTING TRUCK SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. AFTER IT STOPPED SHAKING I CONTINUED TO DRIVE BUT WAS WARY OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS WHAT IS CALLED FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS, THE DEATH WOBBLE. I PURCHASED MY F250 IN APRIL 2017. LATER IN THAT YEAR I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE MORONGO GRADE IN MORONGO CA. IT WAS NOT AS VIOLENT SO I KIND OF DISMISSED IT BACK THEN. BUT THE OTHER DAY ON AMBOY ROAD WAS DIFFERENT. I HAD MY WIFE, MY NEPHEW AND HIS NEW BRIDE WITH ME. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. MY 3 AND A HALF YEAR OLD 2017 FORD F250 XLT 4X4 IS IN OUTSTANDING SHAPE. IS THE NHTSA AND FORD DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OR ARE WE DRIVERS AND FAMILY'S JUST EXPENDABLE ?
