While on highway, experienced an uncontrolled suspension vibration commonly know as the death wobble. It required me to slow down to 25mph on the highway to stop the uncontrollable vibration. This led to a chaotic situation with cars and trucks around me at the time.

Truck starts Violently shaking on highway
The death wobble. It happens on the freeway. You have to almost come to a stop. A major HAZARD!!! Happen s going over train tracks, bumps on the road. It's soooo scary and dangerous! Can we ford owners file a class action lawsuit against Ford? Please help. Every time we drive it's scary and dangerous. We're always afraid to haul or drive please help us get this fixed!
While driving this truck at highway speed and hitting a bump the steering wheel will shake uncontrollably. There is nothing I can do but hold on and let off the accelerator till it stops. This is extremely dangerous as loss of control and having to slow down makes it likely to cause an accident. Please help!!!!
Exhaust manifolds cracked on both sides of motor. Death wobble in front suspension,four wheel drive. Driving on interstate doing 70 MPH
When hitting a rough spot in the road or especially when crossing a bridge expansion joint at highway speed, the truck develops a terrifying, violent shaking/vibration and the only way to stop it is to slow down to 25 - 30mph, which is very dangerous when driving on freeways surrounded by other vehicles. My wife refuses to ride in the vehicle on the highway after experiencing the "death wobble".. The truck has had various steering and suspension components replaced with high quality aftermarket parts including shock absorbers and steering damper with no change in what has been called the "death wobble". This is an intermittent problem and does not happen each and every time when hitting a bump or crossing a bridge joint. Multiple technicians have been unable to duplicate the problem even at locations where it happens frequently.
Two to three weeks ago while driving on the highway in my ford f350 srw, $wd, crew cab truck I went over a bridge. Went I came off the bridge and went over a little bump my vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. First I was yanked to the left and then I was able to steer it to the right. I could not control the vehicle until I was in the breakdown lane. I was almost struck by two tractor trailers who, by the grace of god where paying attention and braked before colliding with me! The shaking was so violent that my arms hurt for two days after. It has now happened three times to me, I have an appointment at the ford dealer who really doesn't know what to do but "try" different things.
The vehicle shakes violently when driving over an even roadway. The shaking will not stop until the vehicle is slowed down to about 30 MPH. This has happened numerous times
