Consumer Description

THE TRUCK WILL NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT. THE TRUCK WANDERS ON THE ROAD. THERE IS APPROXIMATLEY 2 INCHES OF "PLAY" IN THE STEERING. FORD CALLS THIS NORMAL AND CONSISTANT WITH OTHER "LIKE" VEHICLES. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES, MAYBE 4. I'VE LOST COUNT. THE FACTORY "REP" SUPPOSEDLY HAS DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND SAID IT'S NORMAL. I'VE HAD THE MOTOR PROBLEMS LIKE THE CONCERNS I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET, BUT THE DEALER HAS CORRECTED THOSE. THIS VEHICLE DOES "HAUL THE MAIL", BUT I PURCHASED IT TO PULL MY TRAVEL TRAILER. BUT, BECAUSE I CAN'T "SAFELY" KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINES, WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRAILER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE HAVING MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.
