Consumer Description

MY TRUCK WOULD INTERMITTANLY MAKE A CHIRPING NOISE AND WOULD TEMPORARILY BE HARD TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. ONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SO I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALER. THE FIRST TIME, WHICH OCCURRED IN JUNE, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN (7/21/17), THE FORD DEALER CALLED AND TOLD ME THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WAS SHOT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS LUCKY I BROUGHT IT IN AS IT WAS HARD TO STEER. I HAVE DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED FORD TRUCKS TO CRASH. I WROTE A LETTER TO FORD DETAILING THE PROBLEM (ATTACHED) AND SENT THEM LINKS TO COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS.
