YESTERDAY, 11/30/18. I HAVE HAD THE "DEATH RATTLE" A COUPLE OF TIME SINCE I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ON 11/30 I WAS TRAVELING ON A ROAD IN WYOMING. IT WAS SNOWING, AND I WAS GOING BETWEEN 40-45MPH IN A 60MPH ZONE DUE TO ADVERSE ROAD CONDITIONS. I SUDDENLY GOT THE "DEATH RATTLE" WHICH IMMEDIATELY SENT MY TRUCK INTO A UNCONTROLLED SLIDE. I SLID OFF THE ROAD GOING ACROSS THE OPPOSING LANE, OFF THE ROAD, AND STRUCK A ROCK SLIGHTLY DAMAGING MY RUNNING BOARD AND DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SELF-EXTRICATE THE TRUCK MYSELF AFTER CHAINING UP ALL FOUR TIRES. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER FORD POWERSTROKE OWNERS, EVERYONE OF THEM STATED THAT THEY HAVE ALL HAD THE "DEATH RATTLE". WHILE NONE OF THEM SUSTAINED ANY DAMAGE OR INJURIES, IT FOR SURE SCARED THEM BADLY. I FEEL THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION BY THE FORD CORPORATION TO FIND A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T THINK OF TAKING ANY PICTURES, BUT I DO HAVE PICS OF THE DAMAGE IF YOU WANT THEM SENT.
