Consumer Description

THE TRUCK LOSES ITS POWER STEERING CAPABILITY AFTER ABOUT 10-15MIN OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IF A TURN NEEDS TO BE MADE,THE STEERING WHEEL FREEZES WITHOUT NOTICE, WHICH CAUSES PANIC; ADDITIONALLY, IT RATTLES AND CLUNKS AS IT IS MANUALLY MANEUVERED. IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO QUICKLY STRONG-ARM THE STEERING WHEEL, IN HOPES OF FORCIBLY COMPLETING THE TURN SO THAT IT DOESN'T GO OFF THE PATH POSSIBLY CRASHING INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB #05-9-23 PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT CAN BE SO DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHERS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL VS. A TSB? *TR
