While traveling at interstate speed of 60-70 mph my F350 will start violently shaking, what is commonly know as the death wobble. It can only be stopped by sharply braking the vehicle. I have experienced this violent shaking more than 20 times during the last two years. I have had several different vendors recommend and make repairs. For example, U-joint, stabilizer shock, tie rods, shocks, alignment. I continue to have incidences with the front going out of control. Very concerned for my safety and the safety of others on the road because of the need to brake in order to bring the shaking under control. This is a common problem for the Ford F250 and F350 and I am at a loss that it is not identified for a recall to ensure the safety of owners and other traveling

Truck goes into a death wobble in the front end without warning. Change lanes, hit rough spot, or different texture road surface. You never know. Have replace front steering and sususpension parts. Still comes in. Have heard from other owners that are experiencing the same thing. Ford has some tib out and attempts to fix it, but you never know when it will come back. Someone's going to get killed or injured. It is a severe problem and comes without warning. Will come in at mostly 45 mph or higher speed. Turning doesn't seem to help it. Only slowing to a very slow or stop will correct it.

Front end starts to shimmy and shutter at around 60 mph. Sometimes for no reason other times after going over a rough spot or bump in the road. Have to bring the truck speed down to under 25mph to get the truck back in control. Problem started around 30,000 miles and continues to this day!

Shook so hard the left mirror folded back and the right mirror extended, body plug fell out from under dash and landed in passenger front floor. Tires are in good condition, has 46000 miles on it.

While driving front end wobbles violently when you hit a bump. Truck is hard to hang on to and steer. I've read several threads that this is common. This is crazy that there has not been a recall. I'm not happy I've replace mine 3 times and it's doing it again. I bought this truck brand new.

At highway speed I hit a bump on the freeway. The front end of the truck immediately began to shudder violently and uncontrollably. I removed my foot from the accelerator and coasted once the vehicle speed reduces to about 45mph the shudder stopped. This has happened before but only lasts 1 or 2 seconds.
