NHTSA Complaint #10670817 — 2012 FORD F-150

HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW ORIGINALLY BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A KNOCK / POP/ RATTLE FELT AND HEARD THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY IN THE COLDER WEATHER , THEY REPLACED THE STEERING RACK . ALL WAS FINE UNTIL THE WARMER WEATHER HIT IN NEW ENGLAND AND 3000 MILES LATER IT CAME BACK . TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE MECHANIC FELT THE KNOCK/POP/RATTLE AGAIN . THEY REPLACED THE RACK AGAIN .. ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 3-5000 MILES AND ONCE THE REALLY HOT WEATHER HIT IT HAS COME BACK AGAIN AND DOES IT IN ALL TEMPERATURES . SO THAT IS 3 STEERING RACKS AT 3 DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES DOING THE SAME THING AND FORD HAD THE NERVE TO SAY ITS A "NORMAL " CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE . THATS IMPOSSIBLE SEEING THAT EACH STEERING RACK PERFORMS DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES . ILL ALSO ADD THAT THE FEELING OF THE STEERING TIGHTENS AND LOOSENS WITH TEMPERATURE CHANGE AND WHEN ITS WINDY THE TRUCK IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY . THERE IS HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT . I ALSO FIND IT FUNNY HOW THE NEW 2014 F150S HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE STEERING ALSO. *TR
