Description of the problem	While traveling at 65-70 mph on the highway, i drove over a rough patch of road and the steering wheel and front end of the truck began to violently shake. Instinctually, i immediately let off the accelerator to slow down which seemed to add to the forceful shaking by causing the entire vehicle to sway from side to side. I'm a healthy sized 210 lb man and i struggled to maintain control of the steering wheel to prevent veering off the road or into another car. I managed to steer my way to the emergency lane and slowed down enough to where the shaking and swaying stopped. Although it was only about 30 seconds in duration, it seemed like an eternity and it was by far one of the scariest moments in my life. After the incident today, i did some research and discovered this is a known issue with super duty f-250 & f-350 pickup trucks. It has been labeled the "death wobble" (yes that's really what its called). Thankfully, it was me and not my teenage son behind the wheel because i think today's incident would have ended much differently had he been driving! Please advocate for the consumer and issue a recall regarding this issue before it costs someone their life.
