2012 f250 with the death wobble in the front end. Driving truck down highway at 70 MPH and the front end just start to shake and feel like the front end is coming out from under the truck. Had to almost come to a complete stop before it would stop shaking. Take truck to ford to get fixed and I'm told that it will not be cover under warranty. The two front ball joints go out and the track bar at 39k miles. They tell me that it is not cover under the power train warranty.
