Consumer Description

STEERING BECAME VERY HARD INTERMITTENTLY. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. STEERING WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN COMPLETING TURNS AND FROZE UP ON TURNS AT LOW SPEED. TOOK TO DEALER AND ADVISED THAT UNIVERSALS IN STEERING SHAFT WERE RUSTED FROZEN. TRUCK HAD 98,000 MILES. A FRIEND WITH A 2007 F-150 WITH 50,000 MILES HAD SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SINCE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN TURNS. *TR
