Description of the problem	I have a 2005 f350 with a 4 inch lift. I have experienced the "ford death wobble" 4 times in the last week. 3 times it was @ ~40 mph and 1 time it was at 75. Scared me to death. My brakes don't work when it happens and i have to coast to get it to stop. I had the shocks replaced (72k on truck) so the 1st shop i went to told me that would fix it. No such luck... I picked it up and right after it did it again. I just took it to a company who wants $700 to replace the pitman arm and gear box. I have not done this yet. Then i had a local 4x4 guy tell me that i need to replace the steering stabilizer shock and put a 2nd one on it. I have already spent $500 on shocks. The stabilizers will be $150. No one has a clear answer of what the issue is but they want me to keep spending $ on trying to figure it out. I talked to ford and they seem to be like i have no idea what i am talking about. There is a guy online who sells an aftermarket stabilizer system for ~$900 but i think ford should fix it this problem since its a design issue. Please help me. I don't have a lot of money to keep troubleshooting this. Ford should be held responsible. They say there is no recall on this issue but if you go out on the web, many other owners of my truck and the years and models around it are describing the same issue. I am scared to drive it. The shaking is extremely violent and i am lucky that the truck has been on a straightaway with no cars around me each time its happened.... Otherwise i could have flipped it and killed myself or someone else or someone dear to you... Please look into this and see the stories on the web about people who have injured themselves and others due to this problem. Something has to be done.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
