Consumer Description

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 44 OUT OF JOPLIN, MO WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE. THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT STEER AT ALL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID CRASHING INTO ONCOMING CARS. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSE TO ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OF REALLY BAD CONSEQUENCES. I WAS LUCKY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING GEAR WAS CRUSHED. I CALLED FORD FOR AN EXPLANATION AND WAS LITERALLY TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY HAVE TO DO. I WANT OTHERS TO KNOW THAT THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME 1500.00 PLUS CHANGE TO FIX THIS. I CAN'T SEE HOW I WILL EVER TRUST THAT STEERING AGAIN.
