NHTSA Complaint #11383592 — 2017 FORD F-250

I JUST RESEARCHED THE VIOLENT SHAKE OF MY FRONT END THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH AND DROVE OVER A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE. I IMMEDIATELY STOMPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AS FAST AS I COULD. I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 20 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKE STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME SINCE THE TRUCK WENT RIGHT OF CENTER. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME SINCE I SLOWED DOWN SO QUICKLY LIKE YOU WERE GIVING SOMEONE A BRAKE CHECK BEHIND YOU. I HAVE OWNED THIS 2017 F250 LESS THAN A MONTH. IF I KNEW ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOW SERIOUSLY CONCERNED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND NOW I CAN NOT ALLOW MY 17 YR OLD SON DRIVE IT IF NEEDED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE OVER 1,200 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 6TH FORD TRUCK BUT FIRST F250 AND MY LAST. I WILL MOST LIKELY GO TO GMC OR DODGE FOR A 2500 SERIES TRUCK. I TRAVEL FOR WORK AND THIS PROBLEM REALLY WORRIES ME TO DRIVE AT 70/75 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS IT IS A GOOD CHANCE LOSS OF CONTROL WILL HAPPEN IF THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS. THESE TRUCKS COST A LOT OF MONEY AND NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO DRIVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE. IF I COULD JOIN THE JOINT LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD I WOULD. MAYBE ANOTHER GROUP OF F250 & F350 OWNERS CAN START A CLASS ACTION SUIT AS WELL AGAINST FORD. IT WILL BE A VERY SAD DAY WHEN WE ALL FIND OUT A DEATH HAS OCCURRED AND COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED WITH A RECALL. IF YOU GOOGLE DEATH WOBBLE YOU WILL NOT PURCHASE A F250 OR F350. I REALLY HOPE FORD TAKES CARE OF THIS SINCE I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THE TRUCK.
