Description of the problem	Death wobble - at about 55-60 miles per hour with an empty truck, i experienced the death wobble on the freeway. My truck seemed to go over a very slight pothole in the road and began this jumping. The freeway was crowded and i was in lane#3. The truck swerved violently. I had to slam on my brakes and get to the shoulder. The death wobble did not stop until i slowed to about 15 miles per hour. I was unable to control the vehicle. The problem happened once more the same day. It took ford a week to get an appointment. Once the vehicle was seen they only replaced the steering damper with the same type and did a front end alignment. Truck still wants to jump around on road surfaces and i feel the death wobble could happen at any moment. The service manager acted like this was the first time he had heard of this issue, until i did a google search and found many discussions and complaints about other 2017 super duty trucks doing the same thing. Then they admitted to seeing it on other vehicles. I felt like i was going to crash at any moment.
