    When driving my 2017 ford f350 pickup truck at a speed over 55 mph and hit a bump in the road, my steering wheel will jerk violently left and right until i apply the brakes and reduce my speed to 30 mph or less. It can occur on a bumpy road, washboard gravel , concrete expansion joints on the highway, dips, or when transitioning on or off a bridge. I've gotten the violent shaking on both straight roads and corners.…

    There is a serious issue with the steering that my mechanic says is called the death wobble'. I was driving down the road and the steering began to wobble uncontrollably. My front tires are new, steering component all tight and inflation is accurate. I pulled to the aide of the road and almost crashed. The 'wobble' occurs sporadically and is not predicable. It has occurred 6-7 times in the two years i have owned the…

    While driving on the interstate i hit an uneven piece of pavement which caused my steering wheel to begin shaking violently. I immediately decelerated in attempt to regain control and maintain lane position. It is a reoccurring problem. Every time i see a bump, pothole, uneven pavement, etc, in my path, i grip the steering wheel as tightly as possible and brace for the worst. I have researched the problem and seems…

    While driving the speed limit on the freeway and hitting a "rough" patch, the truck's wheels then begin shaking, causing the whole truck to violently shake. There is a significant lost of control of the vehicle. The shaking won't subside to regain control until the speed drops below 50 mph or lower. The vehicle has very limited response to turning when the shaking is happening. This seems to be similar to what i've…

    While driving at freeway speeds i went across an overpass. Coming off the bridge i went over the bridge expansion joint and cased my pickup to immediately start an extremely violent "death wobble". I had to apply brake and slow down to 35 mph before it would come out of it. I have made an appt with the dealer that i purchased the truck from new however they were extremely non-nonchalant about my problem. In doing…

    I noticed the steering was getting sloppy at about 35,000 miles when driving at highway speeds on uneven road surfaces and going over bridge joints. Two nights ago i was driving at 57mph when i came off a bridge and the truck began to shake violently causing me to slow down quickly and pull to the road shoulder to avoid being rear ended. At about 30mph the shaking subsided. Researching the issue on line has led me…
