The truck will shake violently and uncontrollably at speeds above 45mph...thought I was going to crash into on coming traffic...very scary and life threatening not only for myself but also my passengers oncoming traffic ... I'm pretty sure I would have been the one with a lawsuit if I was to crash into something or someone...instead of ford ..please fix

STEERING
While driving over 50mph the steering wheel and front end of truck violently shakes, unable to steer or control vehicle until you either completely stop or slow down immediately which most times is dangerous due to driving on the highway. In addition, it seems more prevalent when there is the least of bumps in the road that triggers the event. This has happened at least 10 times since we travel. The truck has fairly low mileage, around 37k but this issue has happened more the past 2 yrs. We primarily use the truck to tow a large 5th wheel camper therefore having a load behind you adds tremendous challenges and DANGER! This is NOT a wheel balance or front end parts wear issue but a design fault of some sort by Ford. There desperately needs to be a solution or recall forced upon Ford to remedy the situation immediately.

Ford sent me a recall #22S35 regarding a clock spring contamination of the steering wheel date (5/2022) notice beginning in 6/2022 to have it repaired by making an appt with a local dealer however, the dealer service advisors at Tustin Ford in Ca told me in multiple calls to them that Ford does not have the parts built yet.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
At 122,000 miles the vehicle no has begun to have the "death wobble." Extreme shaking at 40mph+. Ford has no recall for this issue. My local dealer/service center is charging full price to remedy the issue. However, the exact repair is unclear to them (e.g. steering dampener, shocks, u-joints, ???, etc). I suspect this will become a "throw parts at it" strategy and very expensive. Ford should back this issue up, based on so many reports of occurrences online from owners.

Twice I have experienced the "F250 Death Wobble," both incidents were on the highway traveling at about 65-70 mph on level freeway when the vehicle began to oscillate and vibrate in an EXTREMELY VIOLENT MANNER. I was scared to death and I could barely control the vehicle, but in both incidents I was able to apply brakes and slowly get the vehicle to a full and complete stop to arrest the violent shaking. When both vibration incidents happened I was cruising along, not accelerating or decelerating, just constant speed. By the way both incidents occurred on I-15 near Lehi, Utah.
