While our truck on a normal highway with minor irregularities and some rough surfaces at a speed of 60 to 70 mph, the truck will start to oscillate to the point of inducing a violently steering wheel shimmy and an uncontrollable bounce of the front wheels. This has happened twice in the past 2-months when I have taken the truck on the highway. The truck is primarily driven in town, I am now scared to go on the road with the truck as the condition seems to be getting worse. I have to brake quickly and steer the truck to the side of the road to stop the oscillation. The shaking is has almost caused an accident both times with the vehicle being very difficult to control. Only after slowing to approximately 30 mph does the oscillation stop. Upon researching this problem, I am perplexed why Ford or the nthsa have not stepped forward to address this issue, someone will be hurt or killed if a solution is not found. We have taken the truck now to two different certified Ford dealerships after each incident each time we were told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and this sometimes happens with these trucks. This can't seriously be true? after doing research I've found that the "death wobble" as this problem has been termed by the masses is a serious problem and has been for many years not for the select few consumers but for so many.
