Consumer Description

2008 FORD F250 CREW! WHERE DO I BEGIN? I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK IN MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT! MOST RECENTLY FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES! I'M HAVING IT WORKED ON FOR THE THIRD TIME TODAY! ALONG WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFTS, WHICH IT HAS BEEN IN AT LEAST TWO OTHER TIMES FOR! THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO MANEUVER AROUND OR EVEN WHEN TRYING TO TURN AROUND! YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO CRANK AS HARD AS YOU CAN TO GET IT TO TURN AND BEING A FAIRLY FIT 28 YEAR OLD CONSTRUCTION WORKER I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK THAT HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL ON A TRUCK THAT HAS POWER STEERING! I JUST ABOUT RAMMED A LIGHT POLE WHILE OUT PLOWING AT ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD RIDING IN THE BACK! THIS OF COURSE WAS BEFORE I HAD IT IN THE LAST TIME AND IT IS A LITTLE BETTER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK TRYING TO GET ONTO A ROADWAY WITH ANY OF MY FOUR CHILDREN WHEN IT DECIDES TO ACT UP AND GET HIT BY A MACK TRUCK! I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE WITH THIS AND HOPE TO HEAR BACK! THANK YOU!!! *TR
