I HAVE HAD 3 INCIDENTS OF WHAT I HAVE FOUND TO BE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY 2005 F-250 4 DOOR CREW CAB 4 WHEEL DRIVE PICK UP TRUCK WHERE THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE GOES INTO A VIOLENT BOUNCING AND SHUDDERING AFTER PASSING OVER A BRIDGE JOINT OR SIMILAR UNEVEN SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING APPROX. 65 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN A NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO APPROX. 35MPH. THIS CAUSED A NEAR COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE ALONGSIDE ME AS WELL AS A NEAR REAR ENDING FROM THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AS I HAD TO SLOW TO 35MPH IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I HAD MY 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACK BAR BEING AT AN IMPROPER ANGLE TO THE DRAG LINK? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH MANY YEAR MODEL FORDS AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR AN AFTERMARKET FIX AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENT. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON A FORD F 250 SUPERDUTY TRUCK FAIL TO SHUT OFF.
