Consumer Description

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A STEERING PROBLEM THAT WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE DANGEROUS. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS AN "INTERNAL FAILURE" IN THE POWER STEERING GEARBOX. THEY CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT PART FOR AN UNDETERMINED LENGTH OF TIME DUE TO IT BEING ON BACKORDER. THEY WARNED AGAINST PURCHASING AN "AFTERMARKET" REMANUFACTURED PART DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. I NEED MY TRUCK, AND AM AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO GET IT FIXED, AND FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I DON'T BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE VAST NUMBER OF THESE "FAILURES," AND NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR OWNERS OF THESE FAULTY PARTS. *TR
