Nope. I never knew it existed until people started recording videos of it. Never met anyone it's happened to either.

My 2014 F350 had the death wobble. Would scare the hell out of you. Pretty much have to replace the front end with heavier suspension, tie rods etc... Even with that never felt comfortable driving it. Always in the back of your mind

I test drove a used Jeep back in the mid 80's , Scared the poo out of me , took it back to the owner double quick.

He was aware of the problem , did not mention it to me before the test drive.

I've watched a few F250s do it on the highway.

I've experienced death wobble on several different vehicles, most of them have been CDJR (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) products. Just last Monday I drove a Ram 3500 gassser utility truck to auction that you could NOT drive over 35mph or the slightest road bump would set off the death wobble. Some versions of death wobble can be so severe that the intense shaking will not stop until you pull over and come to a complete stop!
The reasons for death wobble can be complex. A worn steering stabilizer, bad ball joints, idler arms, improperly balanced tires, or all of the above can contribute to death wobble, and when it kicks-in, it will catch you by complete surprise and scare the hell out of you! bolt

Never had that with any of my jeeps.
Ram trucks and f250s are the 2 vehicles I think of with the death wobble.
