Consumer Description

TRAVELED OVER A MINOR ROAD IMPERFECTION IMMEDIATELY THE TRUCK BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE IT FELT AS THOUGH ALL FOUR TIRES BLEW. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED TIRES AND SUSPENSION, NOT FINDING ANYTHING I QUESTIONED MY SANITY AND PROCEEDED UP THE ROAD WITHIN A FEW MINUTES I AGAIN TRAVELED OVER A MINOR ROAD IMPERFECTION ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE FORD DEALER ADVISES ME THAT THE BUSHINGS AND OTHER COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE STEERING STABILIZER NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $700. I MADE THE TECHNICIAN AWARE THAT MY PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO MANY OTHER INTERNET DOCUMENTED INCIDENTS INVOLVING FORD STEERING COMPONENTS AND THAT I RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY CITING THIS VERY SAME CONDITION. FORD WILL OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. *TR
