Consumer Description

STEERING IS HORRIBLE IN THESE TRUCKS! FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED. THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING. DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL CAN EXHIBIT 1/4 TURN OF PLAY EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, BUT THE TIRES AND TRUCK ARE STRAIGHT! NOW IF THAT'S NOT UNSAFE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS! I HAVE NO LIFT, AND STOCK TIRES. THE ALIGNMENT IS STRAIGHT. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS OF STEERING GEAR PROBLEMS. I HAD MY STEERING LOOKED AT AND MECHANICS ARE CLUELESS. THIS IS A FORD TRUCK PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS. STEERING SHOULD BE TIGHT AND PRECISE NOT SLOPPY. I AM BEGGING THE NHTSA TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO THESE, THIS MATTER IS WORTHY OF YOUR TIME AND I AM SURE AN INVESTIGATION WILL REVEAL NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF STEERING BOXES THAT GO LOOSE OR WEAR PREMATURELY AND STEERING COMPONENTS THAT BREAK. I AM SURE FORD HAS RECORDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND REPAIRS ON THIS BECAUSE ITS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR
