In motion on a highway at 70 miles per hour.the truck hit an uneven condition on the road.the trucks steering capability was totally lost.the front wheels were violently shaking.the tires and wheels were serverly bouncing.slight braking made the uncontrollable condition worse.the vehicle slowly left the highway onto the right away.the speed was approximately 50 mph when it left the paved highway.the front wheels were still violently shaking and bouncing.at this point still with no steering the truck began to spin out of control.it finally ended up stuck in a ditch 30 to 40 yards off the highway.the shaking and bouncing didn't stop until the vehicle came to a complete stop.after much research I leaned that this mechanical steering problem has been a reacuring malfunction.it has been named the death wobble.how can Ford continue to manufacture a product with documented extreme safety issues.its obvious that Ford has made this extremely dangerous condition an ongoing process.im amazazed that with all the past complaints concerning the death wobble that its become nothing more than a band-aid fix.please address and correct this ongoing negligent manufacturing process that Ford continues.they knowingly continue to place innocent consumers into a life or possible death situation.

When traveling at speeds greater than 50mph, truck will randomly respond to going over a slight bump by beginning to shake. The shaking increases to a violent level. The entire truck shakes violently, especially the front end and the steering wheel. The only way to regain control of the truck is to come to a nearly complete stop. All three times this has happened the truck was on a highway. The last time it happened the truck was on a bridge crossing a river with heavy traffic all around. It is a complete miracle that the surrounding drivers were able to avoid hitting our truck since the speed limit was 65mph, and we had to slow to 22mph before the shaking stopped. This first happened in Oct 2017. The dealership repaired it, but it happened two more times on Feb 12, 2018. The truck has only 24700 miles on it.

While driving the 2017 Ford F350 pickup truck down the highway at 60 mph, whenever I drove across bridges or hit small bumps, the pickup truck would shake violently and I had no control over the vehicle until speed was reduced to under 50 mph. This incident is know as the "death wobble". the truck had 14,000 miles on it the first time this occurred. Took the truck to the dealer, they replaced the track bar, sent back, and a week later the same issue of the "death wobble" happened again. Truck is at the dealership currently, and has been for a week. The same exact incident has occurred on another family member's newly purchased 2017 Ford F350 also and has been taken to the same dealership.

Experienced extreme and uncontrollable vibration in the steering wheel and throughout the entire truck (death wobble). This happen twice on the same day, 14 January 2018. The first occurrence was at 70 mph and it did not stop until the vehicle slowed to 50 mph. The second occurrence was at 60 mph and did not stop until the vehicle slowed to 45 mph. Applying the brakes made it worse. The vibrations were so intense it pulled a muscle in my neck. Both occurrences were right after hitting a bump in the road.
