On September 4th & 5th two separate occasions I was driving on US 85 in WY when I hit a bump in the road and my truck started shaking violently and was hard to control. I immediately pulled over and slowed down until the shaking stopped but was almost rear ended by the truck behind me on one occasion.

I own a 2009 Ford F350 king ranch that I purchased used 2 years ago from a Nissan dealership. On multiple occasions, the front end violently shakes when it encounters any deformity on the road. The shakes are so intense and uncontrollable the I have to try and pull off the road to not cause an accident. The shaking does not stop until the vehicle is completely stopped. I have had the body mounts replaced, an alignment- because I was told proper tire inflation would fix it- the shocks replaced, and steering stabilizer replaced. None of these remedied the situation. I am trying to sell the vehicle but since the different mechanics we have used don't seem to be able to diagnose/fix the problem, I am unable it to sell it with this commonly known 'death wobble' that Ford is aware of. I also can't safely drive it. I have also had to replace, in the last month, a complete faulty fuel system ($9,000) and the previous owner, in 2011, had to replace the entire motor-which we were unaware of.

Pulling my Lincoln rushmore 5th wheel, I had three separate blowouts on my 5th wheel. Once on way out to campground and two lost coming home. Camper was built in 2014 and I have less then 1500 miles on these new Goodyear marathon St 235/80R16 tires. The tread separated from the tire on all three at speeds from 65 miles per hour on first tire, and 47 and 58 miles per hour on the other two coming home. I still have one of these with me. With exception of fender damage on one side and support straps broke, it was not much damage, but feel these tires are at fault. Should be a recall on these> very unsafe !!! my wife was following me and the tread broke up in small pieces all from the outside of tire. The sidewalls and underlayment of the tire was still intact. This camper is too new to see these types of problems. First tire was on the interstate highway 485 and the second was on a highway between hickory and lincolnton. Tire dot # 2V un 1lhx on all three tires. I have two left from same camper with same codes. I do not trust these tires!!! but always thought Goodyear was good tire. I check the tire pressure constantly and was at 71 to 75 lbs when tire was cold. The tire says it must not exceed 80 lbs cold.
