I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 72MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENT AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. MY WIFE DROVE IT AND I WAS BESIDE HER ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT HAPPENED TO HER ALMOST CAUSING HER TO WRECK THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO CALL HER TO CALM HER DOWN. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE AS I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A SMALL PORTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE WOBBLE BECOMES SO SEVERE THAT I HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AFTER 6MONTHS FROM PURCHASE DATE (NEW) BUT FORD SAYS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 1-5X A WEEK AND I'VE NEARLY HIT SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME BY SWIRLING DURING THE WOBBLE. I LOOSE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. I HAVE HAD A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS.
