On our most recent trip, our Ford truck a 2007 F250 model experienced what is called the death wobble, where the front shakes violently. Which occurs in speeds of 70 or higher, when it hits a bump the front end shakes violently. It has happened in the past when we were on vacation. The dealer could not find the cause. It is now at the dealer again, to see what can be done. There is a known class action suit filed in 2019. For Ford F250 & F350 models from 2005 to 2019. Ford knew about it but did not inform any owners. We are wanting to get this on record so you can monitor Ford to see what they are doing about it. It is a shame that people pay big bucks for the trucks and Ford won't tell owners about it or find a true fix. We are also going to file on the class action suit that is out there. PLEASE MAKE FORD ACCOUNTABLE, TO SAVE LIVES

2007 Ford F-250 crew cab pickup has violent shaking in the front end after encountering irregular road surfaces at normal highway speeds. The front end begins to bounce and shake violently. The first occurrence occurred on interstate 49 and could have been potentially life threatening as the vehicle literally bounced into an adjacent lane of traffic that, thankfully, was void of vehicles.
