NHTSA Complaint #11242494 — 2012 FORD F-150

MY 2012 F150 WITH 82K, MILES ON IT 08/08/2019 GOT IN MY VEHICLE STARTER VEHICLE IT MADE A STRANGE NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. WHAT SCARES ME IS WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR OR BETTER AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT? ALSO MY DOOR LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT WORK PAID $400 TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IF I COULD NOT GET OUT IF MY TRUCKS POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND CRASHED I COULDN'T GET OUT. I FEEL THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENT,I FEEL THIS IS FACTORY DEFECTIVE PARTS! THERE'S TOO MANY OF THE SAME REPORTED INCIDENTS, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE WE GET A FIX? MY NEXT STEP IS SOCIAL MEDIA AND A 20 20 INVESTIGATION INTO WHY NO ONE HAS MADE AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES AS OPPOSED TO BRIBERY AND FAT BANK ACCOUNTS. I BELIEVE IT IS A POWER STEERING MODULAR/FACTORY DEFECT. ALSO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS MAKING THE DOOR LOCKS FAIL EXCEPT FOR FACTORY DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT,I'M NOT A MECHANIC JUST A HARD WORKING AMERICAN CITIZEN, MADE IN AMERICA USED TO MEAN SOMETHING! I'VE MADE COPIES OF THIS REPORT FOR FUTURE USE. FOR FUTURE CORRESPONDENCE; [XXX] TO WHOMEVER RECEIVES THIS REPORT I HOPE DOESN'T PUT IT IN THE DEAD FILE. THANK YOU, I THINK?
