Description of the problem	Truck started experiencing severe front end oscillations at 70 mph when one tire passes over an expansion joint. Or other seemingly insignificant bumps. This first happened when i had about 17k miles on the truck. Took it to the ford dealer on 12/19/2017 and got it back on 1/12/2018. Ford dealer could not identify any specific cause for the wobble. Problem is repeatable on a specific bridge in fond du lac, wi. I took the ford service manager and technician on a ride to witness it on 3/16/18 when it occurred 3 times on the bridge in one day. I have also recorded the event on video and shared it with ford. I would attach it to this complaint but it exceeds the 5m size limit. After repairs the truck was ok until 2/17/2019 when i took it back to the dealer for the wobble. Parts were ordered and installed on 3/1/2019 when truck had 28k miles on it. The truck was returned to the dealer on 4/10/2019 when the problem returned with 29k miles on it. The truck drove without incident until 2/3/2020 when the wobble reappeared with 35. 3k miles on it. It is scheduled for service on 2/10/2020. This is a known defect at ford and the truck should be recalled. It is a safety hazard. I've been fortunate that this "death wobble" hasn't yet occurred while towing my 5th wheel rv (for which i purchased the truck).
