STEERING OSCILLATIONS AKA "DEATH WOBBLE": AT 60-65 MPH OR GREATER, THE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATES VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE OSCILLATION ONLY STOPS AFTER LOWERING SPEED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS 23,000 MILES. THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM; THE DEALER FIXED IT BEFORE AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND USUALLY AT SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE THERE ARE PARTICULAR BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY SURFACE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 F-250 6.2 V8 GAS, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. I LOSE POWER STEERING, ELECTRICAL AND EVEN BRAKING IS AFFECTED. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, HOT OR COLD ENGINE. IT IS RANDOM AND VERY UNSAFE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, I CAN START THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL DRIVE NORMAL FOR 2-3 DAYS AND IT'LL HAPPEN RANDOMLY AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH I HIT A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE'S STEERING BECAME VIOLENTLY ERRATIC, JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM MY HANDS AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AS IF IT WAS BEING TORN APART INTERNALLY. I HAD TO SLOW TO ALMOST 10 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS ACTED IN SUCH A MANNER.
