NHTSA Complaint #11101611 — 2012 FORD F-150

YESTERDAY AS I WAS MAKING A TURN THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND THE ALERT "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" POPPED UP ON MY DASH. I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN, AND A CAR GOING NEARLY 55 MPH SWERVED AROUND ME AND MISSED T-BONING ME BY A FEW FEET. INITIALLY, I WAS JUST CONCERNED. BUT AFTER GOING TO THE MECHANIC AND FINDING THAT MY STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY (THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT), AND THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES AND IN THE F150 AS WELL, I BECAME FURIOUS THAT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED YESTERDAY. IF FORD DOES NOT MAKE THIS RIGHT, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE, WILL ENCOURAGE ALL MY FRIENDS/FAMILY TO NEVER PURCHASE A FORD VEHICLE, AND WILL USE MY CONSIDERABLE BUSINESS AND PERSONAL NETWORK TO ENSURE THAT THEY ALL KNOW THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT A VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE AND IS REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO THE DEATH OF ITS CUSTOMERS. I CALLED THE MINIONS AT THE 1-800 NUMBER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AND THAT FORD HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND I WAS ON MY OWN. I'LL PAY THE $1500 + LABOR NOW. BUT I'LL BE BACK WITH MY ATTORNEY IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED TO MY SATISFACTION.
